Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of Interstellar光的方向
wú chù kě táo
无 处 可 逃
Nowhere to run
wú zhī kě kào
无 枝 可 靠
No one to rely on
nì háng zhe wēi xiào
逆 行 着 微 笑
Facing obstacles head on with smile
bú qū bú náo
不 屈 不 挠
Never givn in
wàng le nián shǎo
忘 了 年 少
Forget our youth
bú céng wèi jì mò chéng háng
不 曾 畏 寂 寞 成 行
Never once feared the lonesome start of the journey
lèi yǔ hàn chéng shuāng
泪 与 憾 成 双
Tears and regret come in pairs
xīn yǐ gǔn tàng (xiàng zhe yuǎn fāng )
心 已 滚 烫 (向 着 远 方 )
Heart is already boiling hot (set to conquer the far-away places)
guò wǎng fēng shuāng chéng kè dāo
过 往 风 霜 成 刻 刀
These past hardships carved out a dagger
shé liè le chì bǎng
折 裂 了 翅 膀
That teared these wings
hái yào fēi xiáng
还 要 飞 翔
Yet, I must fly on
xún zhe guāng zhào de fāng xiàng bǎ nǐ yí wàng
循 着 光 照 的 方 向 把 你 遗 忘
Following the direction of the light, I’ll forget about you
huí yì shé jiù chéng wǒ juè qiáng de mó yàng
回 忆 折 旧 成 我 倔 强 的 模 样
These memories only furthered my stubbornness
wǒ yào píng zhè àn yè lǐ de guāng
我 要 凭 这 暗 夜 里 的 光
I’ll rely on the light of the dark night
hái tā yǔ yi qǔ zhǎng gē xiàng wàng
还 它 与 ⼀曲 长 歌 相 望
I’ll return (the favor) with a long ballad
tà zhe shēng mìng zhī hé bú wǎng chī kuáng
踏 着 生 命 之 河 不 枉 痴 狂
With the river of life underfoot, I won’t regret my ways of recklessness
dú háng de liáo
独 行 的 寥
Feeling near empty in my solitude
pí juàn de ào
疲 倦 的 傲
My exhaustion masked by pride
hái shèng xià duō shǎo
还 剩 下 多 少
How much longer will they persist
xīn ruò ní zhǎo
心 若 泥 沼
Heart feels like it’s in the mud
shuí huì zhī dào
谁 会 知 道
[But] who would know
bú céng wèi jì mò chéng háng
不 曾 畏 寂 寞 成 行
Never once feared the lonesome start of the journey
lèi yǔ hàn chéng shuāng
泪 与 憾 成 双
Tears and regret come in pairs
xīn yǐ gǔn tàng (xiàng zhe yuǎn fāng )
心 已 滚 烫 (向 着 远 方 )
Heart is already boiling hot (set to conquer the far-away places)
guò wǎng fēng shuāng chéng kè dāo
过 往 风 霜 成 刻 刀
These past hardships carved out a dagger
shé liè le chì bǎng
