回家的路 [Huí jiā de lù] [English translation]

On the way home,

I count how many summers and winters have passed in my lifetime

I count of the ups and downs of this journey,

the (many) times I’ve laughed,

and cried

On the way home,

I count all 365 days in a year

I count the days having victory or defeat,

and also those days with full of content

Going home, I feel blessed/happy

I’m happy to be able to hug my parents

Saying a little, I’m shy to start to talk

The lights are close to waning

Going home, I feel lonely

Loneliness is also waiting to appease

It takes the layers of costumes,

blowing happiness in the middle of the fog

On the way home,

I count how many times I was happy in a year

I count how ups and downs of my temperament in a day,

what is poor,

and rich?

On the way home,

I count the flowing speed of time throughout the years

I count who can coexist with adversity in this life,

everything slowly starts to makes sense

Going home, I feel blessed/happy

I’m happy to be able to hug my parents

Saying a little, I’m shy to start to talk

The lights are close to waning

Going home, I feel lonely

Loneliness is also waiting to appease

It takes the layers of costumes,

blowing happiness in the middle of the fog

Going home, I feel blessed/happy

I’m happy to be able to hug my parents

Saying a little, I’m shy to start to talk

The lights are close to waning

Going home, I feel lonely

Loneliness is also waiting to appease

It takes the layers of costumes,

blowing happiness in the middle of the fog

On the way home,

I pat a little on the shoulders with contaminated dust

More tiring making me adhere to the same tired footsteps,

going home really brings happiness
