Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “The Way You Were”
céng jīng de nǐ
曾经的你
The You of Yesterday
céng mèng xiǎng zhàng jiàn zǒu tiān yá
曾梦想仗剑走天涯
Once dreamed of roaming the world with sword
kàn yī kàn shì jiè de fán huá
看一看世界的繁华
To see the world’s splendor
nián shào de xīn zǒng yǒu xiē qīng kuáng
年少的心总有些轻狂
Youthful hearts are always somewhat wild
rú jīn nǐ sì hǎi wéi jiā
如今你四海为家
Now you wander without home
céng ràng nǐ xīn téng de gū niang
曾让你心疼的姑娘
The girl who once broke your heart
rú jīn yǐ qiǎo rán wú zōng yǐng
如今已悄然无踪影
Has now quietly disappeared
ài qíng zǒng ràng nǐ kě wàng yòu gǎn dào fán nǎo
爱情总让你渴望又感到烦恼
Love always brings desire and trouble
céng ràng nǐ biàn tǐ lín shāng
曾让你遍体鳞伤
Left you wounded all over

Walking the path of courage
Di li li li di li li li den da

有难过也有精彩
With sorrows and wonders
měi yī cì nán guò de shí hòu
每一次难过的时候
Every time you feel sad
jiù dú zì kàn yī kàn dà hǎi
就独自看一看大海
Just go see the ocean alone
zǒng xiǎng qǐ shēn biān zǒu zài lù shàng de péng you
总想起身边走在路上的朋友
Always remember friends walking their paths
yǒu duō shǎo zhèng zài liáo shāng
有多少正在疗伤
How many are healing their wounds
Di li li li di li li li den da
Di li li li di li li li da da
Di li li li di li li li da da

Countless lonely nights
Di li li li di li li li den da
Di li li li di li li li da da
Di li li li di li li li da da
cóng zuó yè jiǔ zuì xǐng lái
从昨夜酒醉醒来
Waking from last night’s drunkenness

让我们干了这杯酒
Let’s drink this cup of wine
hǎo nán ér xiōng huái xiàng dà hǎi
好男儿胸怀像大海
True men have hearts vast as oceans
jīng lì le rén shēng bǎi tài shì jiān de lěng nuǎn
经历了人生百态世间的冷暖
Having tasted life’s joys and sorrows
zhè xiào róng wēn nuǎn chún zhēn
这笑容温暖纯真
This smile remains warm and pure
