Текст и перевод песни 許廷鏗 - 我的志願

我的志願

自細要踏太空 到大個別要認
但是大情大性 怎會忍心信命
你我也說過 要獻身 世界太平
童年豪情 純為動聽

人越大越難自選 怕吃不起虧損
哪怕有翼會飛 不知哪刻已剪斷
成熟蠶食初衷 像作文 寫出志願
還未寫完 但世界 已替我作出打算

從未嫌路長夢短 不怕固執到心酸
我有我做我想 不相信不夠飽暖
無論離地多高 實踐真心喜歡的素願
好高騖遠 永遠未算遠

大概細路已經 看著去路固定
就像未曾白髮 早怕摸黑喪命
你我愛好勝 更愛聽某某贊成
誰曾隨緣 何嘗盡興

人越大越難自選 怕吃不起虧損
哪怕有翼會飛 竟給哪一個剪斷
成熟蠶食初衷 像作文 寫出志願
還未寫完 但世界 已替我打交叉再 埋怨

我信我有權 妄想到沒了沒完
趁有勇氣 跳火圈

還未懼路長夢短 不怕固執到心酸
我有我做我想 不相信不夠飽暖
無論離地多高 未放低 當初志願
懷著心願 永遠未算遠 我拒絕計算

My Aspiration

As a child, I wanted to reach for the stars, but as I grew, I realized
That with my big dreams and my heart,
You and I said we'd give our all for a world at peace.
My childhood dreams, they were just sweet nothings.

As we grow older, it's harder to choose our own path, for fear of loss.
Even if we had wings, we don't know when they'll be clipped.
Maturity eats away at our dreams, like an essay, we write our aspirations.
Before we could finish, the world had already made its plans for us.

I've never thought the road was too long or the dream too short, I wasn't afraid to be stubborn to the point of pain.
I had my dreams and I believed in them, even if they didn't bring me wealth or comfort.
No matter how far I stray from the norm, I'll still follow my heart's desires.
Even if my dreams seem far-fetched, they're still mine.

Perhaps as children, we already saw the path laid out before us.
Even before our hair turned white, we feared stumbling in the dark.
You and I love to win, and we love to hear the approval of others.
Who has ever truly gone with the flow, and really lived?

As we grow older, it's harder to choose our own path, for fear of loss.
Even if we had wings, who knows who clipped them?
Maturity eats away at our dreams, like an essay, we write our aspirations.
Before we could finish, the world had already crossed us out and blamed us.

I believe I have the right to dream without limits.
While I have the courage, I'll jump through any hoop.

I'm not afraid of the long road or the short dream, I'm not afraid to be stubborn to the point of pain.
I have my dreams and I believe in them, even if they don't bring me wealth or comfort.
No matter how far I stray from the norm, I'll never give up on my dreams.
With my dreams in my heart, there's no distance too far. I refuse to count the cost.
