Translation of the song 水手 artist Zheng Zhihua
水手
Sailor
苦涩的沙 吹痛脸庞的感觉
The feeling of bitter sand blowing painfully against the face
像父亲的责骂 母亲的哭泣 永远难忘记
Like father's scolding and mother's crying, can never forget
年少的我 喜欢一个人在海边
When I was young I loved to go alone to the seashore
卷起裤管 光着脚丫 踩在沙滩上
Roll up my pants and walk barefoot on the sand
总是幻想海洋的尽头有另一个世界
Always dreaming of a magical world at the end of the sea
总是以为勇敢的水手是真正的男儿
Always admiring the intrepid sailor as a true man
总是一副弱不禁风孬种的样子
Always weak and fearing the winds like a coward
在受人欺负的时候总是听见水手说
Whenever I was bullied I would hear the sailor say
他说 风雨中 这点痛算什么
He said over the wind and the waves, endure the pain
擦干泪 不要怕 至少我们还有梦
Dry your tears, don't be afraid, at least we still have our dreams
他说 风雨中 这点痛算什么
He said over the wind and the waves, endure the pain
擦干泪 不要问 为什么
Dry your tears and don't question why
长大以后 为了理想而努力
When I grew up I worked hard for my future
渐渐的忽略了父亲 母亲和故乡的消息
Gradually growing distant from father, mother, and home
如今的我 生活就像在演戏
As of today my life is like a performance
说著言不由衷的话 戴着伪善的面具
Speaking insincere words wearing a mask of hypocrisy
总是拿着微不足道的成就来骗自己
Always using some insignificant success to justify myself
总是莫名奇妙感到一阵的空虚
Always inexplicably feeling an emptiness inside
总是靠一点酒精的麻醉才能够睡去
Always relying on the solace of drink to fall asleep
在半睡半醒之间仿佛又听见水手说
Half-sleeping half-waking, I hear the sailor say
他说 风雨中 这点痛算什么
He says over the wind and the waves, endure the pain
擦干泪 不要怕 至少我们还有梦
Dry your tears, don't be afraid, at least we still have our dreams
他说 风雨中 这点痛算什么
He says over the wind and the waves, endure the pain
擦干泪 不要问 为什么
Dry your tears and don't question why
寻寻觅觅寻不到活着的证据
Searching, searching for proof that I'm alive
都市的柏油路太硬踩不出足迹
This city's paved roads are too thick, I can't leave my footprints
骄傲无知的现代人不知道珍惜
Ignorant and proud, the modern man doesn't know to appreciate
那一片被文明糟踏过的海洋和天地
The seas, skies, and earth ravaged by civilization
只有远离人群才能找回我自己
Only far away from the crowd can I find myself again
在带着咸味的空气中自由的呼吸
In this salty air I am unable to breathe
耳畔又传来汽笛声和水手的笑语
In my ear the steam whistle sounds and the sailor says with a chuckle
永远在内心的最深处听见水手说
Forever in the depths of my heart the sailor says
他说 风雨中 这点痛算什么
He says over the wind and the waves, endure the pain
擦干泪 不要怕 至少我们还有梦
Dry your tears, don't be afraid, at least we still have our dreams
他说 风雨中 这点痛算什么
He says over the wind and the waves, endure the pain
擦干泪 不要问 为什么
Dry your tears and don't question why
