Empty Heart kōng jì zhī xīn |
|
|
|
So many roads I' ve wandered. |
|
chén shì wàn tú, wǒ dú chí chú. |
|
Only to find they all lead to my door. |
|
lí huàn xīn jué, jiē rù zhǎi mén. |
|
So I don' t have to search no more. |
|
jué xīn bù dòng, wú yù wú qiú. |
|
I take the water to the thirsty. |
|
rén jiān gān quán, zì qǔ yī piáo. |
|
I sing my song to the empty sky. |
|
tiān dì kōng líng, chàng huái gāo gē. |
|
I know the rains they have heard me cry. |
|
yǔ luò cāng shēng, zhī wǒ bēi mǐn. |
|
|
|
I' ve got this empty heart |
|
dé cǐ chán xīn, wǒ fù hé qiú? |
|
that I can' t explain |
|
tiān dì ēn chǒng, miào bù kě yán. |
|
No longing for love, no sweet pain |
|
ài zhī yōu chóu, mǐn rán rén jiān. |
|
No voice I hear in the still of night |
|
cháng yè jì jìng, dà ài wú shēng. |
|
Just an empty heart, full of light |
|
dú cǐ chán xīn, sān jiè càn rán. |
|
Resting in emptiness |
|
jìng niàn xiāng jì, zhí zhuó wú cún. |
|
|
|
I' ve tried to name the nameless |
|
wǒ céng zhí mí, yù yán miào yǒu. |
|
I' ve tried hard to understand |
|
kǔ sī míng xiǎng, qiú zhī bù dé. |
|
When I closed my fist, Well, of course I missed |
|
hé shí yǐ xiàng, shī zhī záo rán. |
|
There was nothing in my hand. |
|
běn wú yī wù, hé lái chén āi? |
|
I used to think I knew where I was going |
|
wǒ céng yǐ wéi, zhī zhī suǒ xiàng. |
|
I used to think we had to get somewhere |
|
wǒ céng zì shì, sù mìng suǒ wǎng. |
|
Now it' s enough to watch the river flowing |
|
de xìng pò zhí, jìng guān cháng hé. |
|
|
|
Repeat Twice |
|
I' ve got this empty heart |
|
dé cǐ chán xīn, wǒ fù hé qiú? |
|
that I can' t explain |
|
tiān dì ēn chǒng, miào bù kě yán. |
|
No longing for love, no sweet pain |
|
ài zhī yōu chóu, mǐn rán rén jiān. |
|
No voice I hear in the still of night |
|
cháng yè jì jìng, dà ài wú shēng. |
|
Just an empty heart, full of light |
|
dú cǐ chán xīn, sān jiè càn rán. |
|
|
|
Resting in emptiness |
|
jìng niàn xiāng jì, zhí zhuó wú cún. |
|
Resting in emptiness |
|
zhuǎn mí chéng wù, lí kǔ dé lè. |
|
Resting in emptiness |
|
xīn xiē pú tí, wú shàng zhèng jué. |
