Текст и перевод песни 任賢齊 - 本來也可以

本來也可以

本来也可以
向这个世界举起白旗
把眼睛闭上
走进队伍里面
不看不想 不再争辩和反抗
本来也可以
依照人生的进度前进
像一个好人
准时恋爱求职
一成不变 按步就班地 老去
只要当初没听见 远方的鼓声
我就不必寻觅 那是什么歌曲
既然我已经看见 另一条路上的美景
那么怎样崎岖 我都不在意
本来也可以
让我的呼吸 不用费力
本来也可以
让我的快乐 比较容易 只要我 甘心
本来也可以
向这个世界举起白旗
把眼睛闭上
走进队伍里面
不看不想 不再争辩和反抗
本来也可以
依照人生的进度前进
像一个好人
准时恋爱求职
一成不变 按步就班地 老去
只要当初没听见 远方的鼓声
我就不必寻觅 那是什么歌曲
既然我已经看见 另一条路上的美景
那么怎样崎岖 我都不在意
本来也可以
让我的呼吸 不用费力
本来也可以
让我的快乐 比较容易 只要我 甘心

It Could Have Been

It could have been
I could have surrendered to this world
Closed my eyes
Joined the masses
Ignoring, refusing to fight or argue
It could have been
I could have followed the predictable path
Like a good person
Dating, applying for jobs on time
Unchanging, going through the motions, growing old
If only I hadn't heard the distant drums
I wouldn't have had to search for that song
Since I've seen the beauty on the other path
I don't care how rugged it is
It could have been
I could have breathed effortlessly
It could have been
My happiness could have been easier if I had been content
It could have been
I could have surrendered to this world
Closed my eyes
Joined the masses
Ignoring, refusing to fight or argue
It could have been
I could have followed the predictable path
Like a good person
Dating, applying for jobs on time
Unchanging, going through the motions, growing old
If only I hadn't heard the distant drums
I wouldn't have had to search for that song
Since I've seen the beauty on the other path
I don't care how rugged it is
It could have been
I could have breathed effortlessly
It could have been
My happiness could have been easier if I had been content
