誰能明白我 [Seui nangt ming baak ngo] [English translation]

I proudly tread towards the future,

Pursuing an ideal journey.

I hold confidence in every step forward,

I Won’t yield even if I’m swept by the wind and battered by rain1.

No matter where I go,

The dreams in my heart will not change.

Even if It’s a rebirth, or an awakening,

Dreams will always be in this world.

Even if the road ahead is long,I only need to be self-reliant.

I will continue to uncover my direction.

I often wanted to lose my mind over past dreams.

I patiently explore the way.

I hold confidence in myself,never fearing night navigation.

Until I am weary I accompany myself and sing.

I search for applause in my dreams,

Even if everything is a vain dream.

Passers-by on the road turn to look at me

Only because of my peculiar appearance.

Who among these passers-by can understand

Why my eyes are so dazzling as snow today?

Each person has their aspirations,

And unyielding head towards their goals.

I use song and laughter,

To win the appreciation of a soul mate.

I hold confidence in myself,never fearing night navigation.

Until I am weary I accompany myself and sing.

I search for applause in my dreams,

Even if everything is a vain dream.

I proudly tread towards the future,

Pursuing an ideal journey.

I hold confidence in every step forward,

In accordance with the orientation correct in my heart.

I possess a heart filled with love and forbearance,

I’m a smiling artisan filled with dreams.

I use song and laughter

To win the appreciation of a soul mate.

I use song and laughter

To win the appreciation of a soul mate.
