Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Life is More Than The Mundane”
shēng huó bù zhǐ yǎn qián de gǒu qiě
生活不止眼前的苟且
Life is more than the mundane before your eyes
mā ma zuò zài mén qián， hēng zhe huā ér yǔ shào nián
妈妈坐在门前，哼着花儿与少年
Mom sits by the door, humming “Flowers and Youth”
suī yǐ shí gé duō nián， jì de tā lèi shuǐ lián lián
虽已时隔多年，记得她泪水涟涟
Though years have passed, I remember her streaming tears
nà xiē yōu àn de shí guāng， nà xiē jiān chí yǔ huāng zhāng
那些幽暗的时光，那些坚持与慌张
Those gloomy times, that persistence and panic
zài lín bié de mén qián， mā ma wàng zhe wǒ shuō
在临别的门前，妈妈望着我说
At the farewell door, mom looked at me and said
shēng huó bù zhǐ yǎn qián de gǒu qiě， hái yǒu shī hé yuǎn fāng de tián yě
生活不止眼前的苟且，还有诗和远方的田野
Life is more than the mundane, there’s poetry and distant fields
nǐ chì shǒu kōng quán lái dào rén shì jiān， wèi zhǎo dào nà piàn hǎi bù gù yī qiè
你赤手空拳来到人世间，为找到那片海不顾一切
You came barehanded to this world, seeking that ocean at all costs
tā zuò zài wǒ duì miàn， dī tóu shuō zhēn zhòng zài jiàn
她坐在我对面，低头说珍重再见
She sat across me, bowing to say farewell
suī yǐ shí gé duō nián， jì de tā lèi shuǐ lián lián
虽已时隔多年，记得她泪水涟涟
Though years have passed, I remember her streaming tears
nà xiē huān xiào de shí guāng， nà xiē shì yán yǔ mèng xiǎng
那些欢笑的时光，那些誓言与梦想
Those laughing times, those vows and dreams
zài fēn shǒu de jiē biān， tā jǐn bào zhù wǒ shuō
在分手的街边，她紧抱住我说
At the parting street, she hugged me tight and said
shēng huó bù zhǐ yǎn qián de gǒu qiě， hái yǒu shī hé yuǎn fāng de tián yě
生活不止眼前的苟且，还有诗和远方的田野
Life is more than the mundane, there’s poetry and distant fields

我独自渐行渐远，膝下多了个少年
I walked alone farther away, with a youth at my knees
shào nián yī tiān tiān zhǎng dà， yǒu yī tiān yào lí kāi jiā
少年一天天长大，有一天要离开家
The youth grows day by day, will leave home someday

看他背影的成长，看他坚持与回望
Watching his growing back, his persistence and looking back
