歌词翻译 (English)
Sailor
The feeling of bitter sand blowing painfully against the face,
Just like a father's scolding and a mother's weeping, (it is) never forgotten.
When I was young, I loved to go alone to the seashore,
Roll up my pants and walk barefoot on the sand.
Always dreaming of a magical world at the end of the sea,
Always imagining a brave sailor, a "real man",
Always appearing weak and cowardly,
Whenever I was bullied, I would hear the sailor speak.
He would say, "Through the wind and rain, endure the pain!
Dry your tears, don't be afraid, for we still have dreams!"
He would say, "Through the wind and rain, endure the pain!
Dry your tears and don't ask why."
When I grew up, I worked hard to achieve my dreams,
(But) gradually grew distant from my father, mother, and hometown.
Now today, I live as if I'm (acting) in a play,
Speaking insincere words, wearing a mask of hypocrisy
Always deluding myself with some small "success",
Always feeling an strange emptiness inside,
Always needing the anesthesia of alcohol to sleep,
Half-asleep, half-awake, I hear the sailor speak.
He says, "Through the wind and rain, endure the pain!
Dry your tears, don't be afraid, for we still have dreams!"
He says, "Through the wind and rain, endure the pain!
Dry your tears and don't ask why."
Desperately hoping that I'm a ghost,
(When I'm) unable to leave footprints on the city's hard paved roads.
Proud and ignorant, modern man doesn't know how to appreciate
The sea and earth, (now) ravaged by civilization
Only away from the crowds can I find myself (again),
(While) freely breathing in the salty air,
Once again, the sound of steam whistles and sailors' laughter enters my ears,
Forever in the depths of my heart, I hear the sailor speak
He says, "Through the wind and rain, endure the pain!
Dry your tears, don't be afraid, for we still have dreams!"
He says, "Through the wind and rain, endure the pain!
Dry your tears and don't ask why."
