Song: 平凡之路 (píng fán zhī lù)
平凡之路
徘徊著的 在路上的
你要走吗 Via Via
易碎的 骄傲著
那也曾是我的模样
沸腾著的 不安著的
你要去哪 Via Via
谜一样的 沉默著的
故事你真的 在听吗我曾经跨过山和大海 也穿过人山人海
我曾经拥有着的一切 转眼都飘散如烟
我曾经失落失望 失掉所有方向
直到看见平凡 才是唯一的答案当你仍然 还在幻想
你的明天 Via Via
她会好吗 还是更烂
对我而言 是另一天我曾经毁了我的一切 只想永远地离开
我曾经堕入无边黑暗 想挣扎无法自拔
我曾经像你像他 像那野草野花
绝望着 也渴望着 也哭也笑平凡著向前走 就这么走 就算被给过什么
向前走 就这么走 就算被夺走什么
向前走 就这么走 就算会错过什么
向前走 就这么走 就算会我曾经跨过山和大海 也穿过人山人海
我曾经拥有着的一切 转眼都飘散如烟
我曾经失落失望 失掉所有方向
直到看见平凡 才是唯一的答案我曾经毁了我的一切 只想永远地离开
我曾经堕入无边黑暗 想挣扎无法自拔
我曾经像你像他 像那野草野花
绝望着 也渴望着 也哭也笑平凡著我曾经跨过山和大海 也穿过人山人海
我曾经问遍整个世界 从来没得到答案
我不过像你像他 像那野草野花
冥冥中 这是我 唯一要走的路啊时间无言 如此这般 明天已在 Via Via
风吹过的 路依然远 你的故事讲到了哪
A Path in the Ordinary
Meanderers on the footpath,
Are you to leave? Via via.
Prideful youth, fragile hearts
That used to be us when we were young
/
Passionate eyes, such restlessness,
Where will you go? Via via.
Mysterious, hushed stories
Have you been listening closely now?/
I used to conquer mountains and skies,
And pushed past all walks of life.
I used to own all that you see,
Next they’d vanished in the breeze./
I used to lose hope lose heart lose sight of what life means
Now I see the answer is within the ordinary/
Do you persist in daydreaming
Your tomorrow? Via via
Be it better or much worse,
To me it’s just another day.
/
I used to shatter all that I had,
Packed my bags never to look back;
I used to fall to dark despair,
Battle blindly just to wake up./
I once was like you like him like a wild flower in spring
Despairing, aspiring, cry and laugh and living./
Move forward, Just forward, Whether you’ve been given something
Move forward, Just forward, Whether you’ve been robbed of something
Move forward, Just forward, Even if you’ll miss out on things
Move forward, Just forward, Even if …/
I used to conquer mountains and skies,
And pushed past all walks of life.
I used to own all that you see,
Next they’d vanished in the wind./
I used to lose hope lose heart lose sight of what life means
Now I see the answer is in the ordinary/
I used to burn all that I had
Packed my bags never to look back
I used to fall to dark despair
Battle blindly just to wake up./
I was just like you like him like a wild flower in spring
Despairing, aspiring, cry and laugh and living./
I used to hike through mountains and skies,
Crossed paths with all walks of life.
I used to ask across the world,
Never got any reply./
I was just like you like him like a wild flower in spring
When night falls, I keep writing the path I shall take
/
Time has no words, it just moves on
Dawn has arrived here here
Where the wind blows
The path stretches on/
Where is your story up to now…

Ordinary Road
Those who wander around the road
Are you leaving now? Via Via
Fragile and proud
That is how I once was
Passionate and full of angst
Where are you going? Via Via
Silent like a mystery
Are you really listening to the story?I’ve crossed the mountains and the seas and seen thousands of people
Once I had everything, but it all vanished in the wind
Once I was disappointed, discouraged, and lost all direction
Until I saw that the only answer lay in the ordinary roadWhile you are still fantasizing
About your future Via Via
Will it be better or worse?
For me it’s just another dayI once ruined everything I had and wanted to disappear forever
I once fell into endless darkness, helpless and lost
I was once like you, like them, like those wild flowers
Hopeless yet hoping, crying, laughing, being ordinaryGo ahead, just like that, no matter what what happens
Go ahead, just like that, no matter what you lose
Go ahead, just like that, no matter what you may miss
Go ahead, just like that, no matter…I’ve crossed the mountains and the seas and seen thousands of people
Once I had everything, but it all vanished in the wind
Once I was disappointed, discouraged, and lost all direction
Until I saw that the only answer lay in the ordinary roadI once ruined everything I had and wanted to disappear forever
I once fell into endless darkness, helpless and lost
I was once like you, like them, like those wild flowers
Hopeless yet hoping, crying, laughing, being ordinaryI’ve crossed the mountains and the seas and seen thousands of people
I once asked the whole world without receiving an answer
I am just like you, like them, like those wild flowers
Dark it may be, this is the road I must goTime flies by without a word, and so tomorrow comes Via Via
The breeze blows by, the road is still long, how is your story going?
