Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “A Life Of Fighting Is But A Dream”
wǒ jiàn hé qù hé cóng ài yǔ hèn qíng nán dú zhōng
我 剑 何 去 何 从 爱 与 恨 情 难 独 钟
My sword, where shall it go? In love and hate, it is rare to have only one of the two
wǒ dāo huá pò zhǎng kōng shì yǔ fēi dǒng yě bú dǒng
我 刀 划 破 长 空 是 与 非 懂 也 不 懂
My saber, it seems to cut open the sky. In right and wrong, it is as if I both understand and don’t understand them
wǒ zuì yī piàn méng lóng ēn hé yuàn shì huàn shì kōng
我 醉 一 片 朦 胧 恩 和 怨 是 幻 是 空
I am drunk, everything is a haze. Gratitude and resentment are illusory and empty
wǒ xǐng yī chǎng chūn mèng shēng yǔ sǐ yī qiē chéng kōng
我 醒 一 场 春 梦 生 与 死 一 切 成 空
I am awake, it was all a dream. Life and death all become empty
lái yě cōng cōng qù yě cōng cōng hèn bú néng xiàng féng
来 也 匆 匆 去 也 匆 匆 恨 不 能 相 逢
You came quickly. You left quickly. I wish we we could have met
ài yě cōng cōng hèn yě cōng cōng yī qiē dōu suí fēng
爱 也 匆 匆 恨 也 匆 匆 一 切 都 随 风
Love so quickly. Hate so quickly. Everything flows by like the wind
kuáng xiào yī shēng zhǎng tàn yī shēng kuài huó yī shēng
狂 笑 一 声 长 叹 一 声 快 活 一 生
A sound of wild laughter. A sound of a long sigh. A life of joy.
bēi āi yī shēng shuí yǔ wǒ shēng sǐ yǔ gòng
悲 哀 一 生 谁 与 我 生 死 与 共
A life of sorrow. Who will live and die with me?

我 笑 我 狂 我 疯 天 与 地 风 起 云 涌
I laugh, I am mad, I am crazy. Between heaven and earth a turbulent storm breaks free
