qí zǐ
棋子
Chess Piece
xiǎng zǒu chū nǐ kòng zhì de lǐng yù
想走出你控制的领域
Want to escape from the domain you control
què zǒu jìn nǐ ān pái de zhàn jú
却走近你安排的战局
But step into the battlefield you arranged
wǒ méi yǒu jiān qiáng de fáng bèi
我没有坚强的防备
I have no strong defenses
yě méi yǒu hòu lù kě yǐ tuì
也没有后路可以退
Nor any retreat path to fall back on
xiǎng táo lí nǐ bù xià de xiàn jǐng
想逃离你布下的陷阱
Want to flee from the trap you set
què xiàn rù le lìng yí gè kùn jìng
却陷入了另一个困境
But fall into another predicament
wǒ méi yǒu jué dìng shū yíng de yǒng qì
我没有决定输赢的勇气
I lack the courage to decide victory or defeat
yě méi yǒu táo tuō de xìng yùn
也没有逃脱的幸运
Nor the luck to escape
wǒ xiàng shì yì kē qí
我像是一颗棋
I am like a chess piece
jìn tuì rèn yóu nǐ jué dìng
进退任由你决定
Advance or retreat, all at your command
wǒ bú shì nǐ yǎn zhōng wéi yī jiàng lǐng
我不是你眼中唯一将领
I’m not the only general in your eyes
què shì bù qǐ yǎn de xiǎo bīng
却是不起眼的小兵
But an insignificant pawn
wǒ xiàng shì yì kē qí zǐ
我像是一颗棋子
I am like a chess piece
lái qù quán bù yóu zì jǐ
来去全不由自己
Coming and going, all beyond my control
jǔ shǒu wú huǐ nǐ cóng bù céng yóu yù
举手无悔你从不曾犹豫
You never hesitate with no-regret moves
wǒ què shòu kòng zài nǐ shǒu lǐ
