Song: 曾经的你 (Cén gjīng de nǐ) •Album: 曾经的你

曾经的你

曾梦想仗剑走天涯　　
看一看世界的繁华
年少的心总有些轻狂　
如今你四海为家

曾让你心疼的姑娘　
如今已悄然无踪影
爱情总让你渴望又感到烦恼
曾让你遍体鳞伤
DiLiLi……
走在勇往直前的路上
DiLiLi……
有难过也有精彩

每一次难过的时候　
就独自看一看大海
总想起身边走在路上的朋友
有多少正在疗伤
DiLiLi……
不知多少孤独的夜晚
DiLiLi……
从昨夜酒醉醒来

每一次难过的时候
就独自看一看大海
总想起身边走在路上的朋友
有多少正在醒来
让我们干了这杯酒
好男儿胸怀象大海
经历了人生百态世间的冷暖
这笑容温暖纯真

The Way You Were

[You] once dreamed of carrying a sword and traveling to the ends of the earth
to see a bustling world.
A youth’s heart is always somewhat frivolous,
nowadays you lead a wandering life.

The girl who once made your heart ache,
[she] has quietly left without a trace.
Love makes you long, yet it also feels annoying.
It once covered you in cuts and bruises.
DiLiLi……
Walking courageously on the road,
DiLiLi……
It is sad, yet also brilliant.

Whenever I was sad,
I would gaze at the sea alone,
[I] always thought about the friends which left my side.
How many of them are now healing their wounds?
DiLiLi……
I don’t know how many lonely nights there were
DiLiLi……
[where I would] wake up from last night’s drunkenness.

Whenever I was sad,
I would gaze at the sea alone.
[I] always thought about the friends which left my side.
How many of them are now waking up?
Let’s share a toast,
A good man’s mind is like the wide ocean.
Experiencing the warmth of the many states of the world,
These smiles are warm and pure.

Once You

Dreams of grandeur and heroism
To see the splendor of the world
The fantasies of a youthful soul
Now you wander the ends of the earth

The girl who once broke your heart
She’s gone without a trace
Love always brings both joy and agony
It once covered you with wounds
DiLiLi……
Walking the road ahead
DiLiLi……
There’s pain but also beauty

Whenever the sadness comes over me
I stand and watch the ocean waves
Remembering those friends and companions
How many still haven’t recovered?
DiLiLi……
Suffered through countless lonely nights
DiLiLi……
Time to wake up from the drunken stupor

Whenever the sadness comes over me,
I stand and watch the ocean waves
Remembering those friends and companions
How many are still asleep?
Let us drain this glass of wine
True men have hearts vast as the sea
Seen the world, felt pleasure and pain
Still, a pure smile warms the heart like nothing else
