Translation of the song 回家的路 artist Andy Lau

回家的路

On the way home,

數一數一生多少個寒暑

I count how many summers and winters have passed in my lifetime

數一數起起落落的旅途

I count of the ups and downs of this journey,

多少的笑

the (many) times I’ve laughed,

多少的哭

and cried

回家的路

On the way home,

數一數一年三百六十五

I count all 365 days in a year

數一數日子有那些勝負

I count the days having victory or defeat,

又有那些滿足

and also those days with full of content

回家吧 幸福

Going home, I feel blessed/happy

幸福 能抱一抱父母

I’m happy to be able to hug my parents

說一說 羞澀開口的傾訴

Saying a little, I’m shy to start to talk

燈火就在 不遠闌珊處

The lights are close to waning

回家吧 孤獨

Going home, I feel lonely

孤獨 還等待著安撫

Loneliness is also waiting to appease

脫下那 一層一層的戲服

It takes the layers of costumes,

吹開心中的霧

blowing happiness in the middle of the fog

回家的路

On the way home,

數一數 一年快樂的次數

I count how many times I was happy in a year

數一數 一天脾氣的起伏

I count how ups and downs of my temperament in a day,

甚麼是貧

what is poor,

甚麼是富

and rich?

回家的路

On the way home,

數一數 歲月流走的速度

I count the flowing speed of time throughout the years

數一數 一生患難誰共處

I count who can coexist with adversity in this life,

一切慢慢清楚

everything slowly starts to makes sense

回家吧 幸福

Going home, I feel blessed/happy

幸福 能抱一抱父母

I’m happy to be able to hug my parents

說一說 羞澀開口的傾訴

Saying a little, I’m shy to start to talk

燈火就在 不遠闌珊處

The lights are close to waning

回家吧 孤獨

Going home, I feel lonely

孤獨 還等待著安撫

Loneliness is also waiting to appease

脫下那 一層一層的戲服

It takes the layers of costumes,

吹開心中的霧

blowing happiness in the middle of the fog

回家吧 幸福

Going home, I feel blessed/happy

幸福 能抱一抱父母

I’m happy to be able to hug my parents

說一說 羞澀開口的傾訴

Saying a little, I’m shy to start to talk

燈火就在 不遠闌珊處

The lights are close to waning

回家吧 孤獨

Going home, I feel lonely

孤獨 還等待著安撫

Loneliness is also waiting to appease

脫下那 一層一層的戲服

It takes the layers of costumes,

吹開心中的霧

blowing happiness in the middle of the fog

回家的路

On the way home,

拍一拍肩上沾染的塵土

I pat a little on the shoulders with contaminated dust

再累也一樣堅持的腳步

More tiring making me adhere to the same tired footsteps,

回家真的幸福

going home really brings happiness
