Lyrics~~~

*gam tin ngoh hon ye lui hon seuit piu gwoh

Repeat * **

Repeat * *

 

 

Translation~~~

Today, I see the swirl of snowflakes in a cold night
I (too) swirl afar with a chilled heart
I give chase braving wind and rain
Unable to make out the shadowy trace in the mist
There’s a boundless sky and sea
Would you and I change?
(Who are not changing?!)

Many times, I face up to cold shoulder and ridicule
Never have I given up the ideal inside my mind
In a fleeting trance
I feel as if something are missing
In an unconscious way
Love has faded from my heart
(Who understands me?!)

Forgive me, I’ve been an unruly, untamed freedom-lover all my life
I too fear I might fall down someday
Abandoning the ideal — everyone might do it
Don’t worry that only you and I might someday

Still carefree and self-reliant
Forever singing aloud my own song
Going everywhere
