Yī yǎn wàng jìn de hú tòng一眼望盡的胡同The alley you can see from end to end

tīng guàn xí yǐ wéi cháng聽慣習以為常So used to hearing it, it's become ordinary

de bù lǚ cōng cōng的步履匆匆The hurried footsteps passing by

xiàng kǒu yíng巷口迎At the mouth of the lane, welcoming

lái sòng wǎng de wú tóng來送往的梧桐The paulownia tree that greets all who come and go

zhào chū yī piàn罩出一片Casting a canopy of shade

xiào yǔ zhèng nóng笑語正濃Where laughter and voices fill the air

zǒu bù chū de xiǎo xiàn chéng走不出的小縣城The small county town you couldn't escape

hái yí liú le gǔ還遺留了古Still holding on to the ancient

chéng qiáng shàng de xiǎng zhōng城墻上的響鐘Ringing bell upon the old city wall

yī shēng chuán mǎn le一聲傳滿了One toll echoing out to fill

zhěng piàn tiān kōng整片天空The entire sky above

chōng chì chéng nián shào de充斥成年少的Flooding into the youth's

yōu chóu憂愁Sorrow and worry

hé qiú lóng和囚籠And the cage that held you

nà shì bù shì那是不是Is that or isn't that

nǐ kě wàng de zì yóu你渴望的自由The freedom you once craved

yǐ wéi lǐ xiǎng以為理想Believing that dreams

kào shuāng shǒu jiù zú gòu靠雙手就足夠Are enough when you just use your two hands

zhí dào bèi xiàn shí直到被現實Until reality

hěn tuī yī bǎ狠推一把Shoves you hard

diē dào hún shēn shì shāng bā跌到渾身是傷疤And you fall, your whole body covered in scars

cái dǒng shēng huó才懂生活Only then do you understand that life

bù shì tóng huà不是童話Is not a fairy tale

nǐ hěn shī wàng ba你很失望吧You're so disappointed, aren't you

dà rén de shì jiè大人的世界The adult world

bù kuài lè ba不快樂吧Isn't a happy place, is it

nà gè ài xiào de zì jǐ那個愛笑的自己That version of yourself who loved to smile

qù nǎ le去哪了Where did they go

pīn jìn quán lì zhēng zhá拼盡全力掙扎Struggling with everything you've got

zhǐ wéi néng只為能Just to be able

chéng wéi pǔ tōng rén a成為普通人啊To become an ordinary person

nǐ hěn lèi duì ma你很累對嗎You're so tired, aren't you

zhè shì nǐ這是你Is this

qī pàn de cháng dà ma期盼的長大嗎The growing up you used to long for

jiù rèn shí guāng就任時光Just letting time

fēng gān mèng xiǎng le ma風乾夢想了嗎Air-dry all your dreams away

duī jī le yī shēn shāng bā堆積了一身傷疤Piling up scars all over your body

yě zhǐ shì xiào xiào也只是笑笑And you just smile through it

bù shuō huà不說話Without a word

hái huì xìng fú ba還會幸福吧You'll still find happiness, won't you
