Translation of the song 面罩 (Mask) artist Lay (EXO)

十字路口我谦卑低头

At the crossroads, I humbly lower my head

红色的灯口绿色箭头

The red light, the green arrow

要我往左走我继续低头

It wants me to go right, I keep my head lowered

烟雾弥漫笼罩在四周

Enveloped in mist in all four directions

说我在悬崖尽头

I'm at the edge of a cliff

抉择内心在怒吼

My heart roars its decision

You know I’ll be myself

You know I'll be myself

不兜圈兜什么圈

Don't go around in circles

做你自己掌握方向盘路还遥远

Be yourself and control the steering wheel, the road is still far away

不会被左右信念看清黑与白

Don't let your beliefs be influenced, see what's black and white clearly

用心去分辨是与非和好与坏

Use your heart to discern what's right and what's wrong

笑容的真相 内心的倔强

A truthful smile, a stubborn heart

夜深人静封闭 隐藏所有情绪

The quiet night is sealed away, hiding every emotion

I don’t have to show you

I don't have to show you

Everything I’ve been through

Everything I've been through

勿忘初心

Don't forget your original intentions

就算沼泽泥泞也要清醒

Even if it's unclear and muddy, still keep a clear mind

Hey 不要有所犹豫 believe you can do it

Hey, don't be hesitant, believe you can do it

Hey 不要有所顾虑

Hey, don't be apprehensive

得到或者失去

You either get it or you lose it

Hey 看破所有面具

Hey, see through all the masks

看破傀儡游戏

See through the puppet games

保持初心无所畏惧 skrt skrt skrt

Keep to your original intentions

When I 不去争辩是非所有

When I don't argue what's right and what's wrong

却被说成我害怕失去一切

I'm told I'm scared of losing everything

谎言列成排比句

Lies are listed as parallel sentences

是该沉思还是该让你去吹嘘

Should I contemplate or should I let you brag

世态炎凉拆下他们的面具

Tear off the hypocrites' masks

早点脱离别再来沉醉

Quickly escape and become intoxicated again

那虚伪标签的名和利

That hypocritical name and advantage

Ayy

Ayy

真的都能说成假的假的

The truth can be turned into a lie, lie

假的都能变成真的 Ayy

A lie can be turned into the truth ayy

莫名其妙都成了真的 真的可以 girl

Even the unfathomable mysteries

笑容的真相 内心的倔强

A truthful smile, a stubborn heart

夜深人静封闭 隐藏所有情绪

The quiet night is sealed away, hiding every emotion

I don’t have to show you

I don’t have to show you

Everything I’ve been through

Everything I’ve been through

勿忘初心就算沼泽泥泞也要清醒

Don't forget your original intentions

Hey 不要有所犹豫 believe you can do it

Hey, don't be hesitant, believe you can do it

Hey 不要有所顾虑 得到或者失去

Hey, don't be apprehensive

Hey 看破所有面具 看破傀儡游戏

You either get it or you lose it

保持初心无所畏惧 skrt skrt skrt

Hey, see through all the masks

捍卫自己不需要卑微

You don't have to belittle yourself to defend yourself

遇到困难微笑着去面对

Face difficulties with a smile on your face

点燃心中希望的火焰让一切重来

Ignite your heart and hopes,

一步一个脚印朝着梦想道路前进 Aye

The flames will let everything be reborn

所有trouble 全wipe out

All the troubles are wiped out

所有包袱全抛掉

All the burdens are flung away

迈出第一步重要

It's important to take this first step

没有什么做不到

There's nothing you can't do

不同的方式 不同的态度

Different ways of life, different attitudes

不同的感觉 Like that

Different feelings like that

相同的阴暗 相同的骗局

The same darkness, the same traps

相同讨人厌 Like that

The same annoyances, like that

笑容的真相 内心的倔强

A truthful smile, a stubborn heart

夜深人静封闭 隐藏所有情绪

The quiet night is sealed away, hiding every emotion

I don’t have to show you

I don’t have to show you

Everything I’ve been through

Everything I’ve been through

勿忘初心就算沼泽泥泞也要清醒

Don't forget your original intentions

Hey 不要有所犹豫 believe you can do it

Hey, don't be hesitant, believe you can do it

Hey 不要有所顾虑 得到或者失去

Hey, don't be apprehensive

Hey 看破所有面具 看破傀儡游戏

You either get it or you lose it

Hey, see through all the masks
