黃雅莉 - Huang Yali перевод на английский

黃雅莉

老師 禁止 莫名其妙的髮型
逼她剪頭髮 她卻不聽話
為了 自由 她去電視裡唱歌
想 自己決定髮型 自己決定人生

然後啊 十六歲的她離開小鎮奔向遠大前程
她以為啊 只是去玩耍 好像小學郊遊去了長沙

我看著她 假裝瀟灑
被世界啪啪吊打 分不清真話和 假話
學會裝傻 在夜裡撥通電話 她最怕 聽媽媽 說回家吧
其實她也掙扎過 卻不認輸 怕一回頭
就好像當年親手剪掉了頭髮

那年 的她 坐上纜車去山頂
收下了鮮花 都會有代價
走走 停停 喧嘩都變得安靜
她 聽別人的故事 找到自己的心

然後啊 二十歲的她一邊畫畫一邊思考人生
沒關係啊 不管多變化 認真的人總能立命安身

我看著她 捂著傷疤
雖然世界無限大 自由卻永遠有 代價
不怕不怕 我在這裡等你啊 雅莉呀 要記得 全都值得
那些心酸和挫折 都是收穫 你的選擇
才讓我可以大聲唱完這支歌

她看著我 隔了長河
她笑得嘻嘻哈哈 我卻忽然淚如 雨下
她對我說 我很期待遇見你 而你也 要記得 全都值得
不管明天會怎樣 要更快樂 你的選擇
才讓我確信當初出發是對的

The teacher forbade outlandish hairstyles,
Forced her to cut her hair, but she wouldn't obey.
For freedom, she went on TV to sing,
Wanting to decide her own hairstyle, her own life.

Then, at sixteen, she left her small town for a bright future,
She thought it was just a trip, like a school outing to Changsha.

I watched her, pretending to be carefree,
Beaten down by the world, unable to distinguish truth from lies.
Learning to play dumb, calling home at night, she feared most hearing her mother say, "Come home."
She struggled, but refused to give up, afraid that turning back
Would be like cutting off her hair all over again.

That year, she rode the cable car to the mountaintop,
Accepted the flowers, knowing everything comes at a price.
Walking, stopping, the noise fading into quiet,
She listened to others' stories, and found her own heart.

Then, at twenty, she painted and pondered life,
It didn't matter how much changed, a dedicated person can always find their place.

I watched her, covering her scars,
Though the world is vast, freedom always has a price.
Don't be afraid, I'm here waiting for you, Yali, remember, it's all worth it.
Those heartaches and setbacks are all gains, your choices
Allow me to sing this song out loud.

She looked at me, across the long river,
She laughed heartily, but I suddenly burst into tears.
She told me, "I'm looking forward to meeting you," and you too, remember, it's all worth it.
No matter what tomorrow brings, be happier, your choices
Assure me that setting out was the right thing to do.
