一生何求 [Yat sang ho kau] [English translation]

Could I take a break from daily life

Looking back, how many autumns has come and gone

I lost what I’d been searching for

And got what I’d never expected

I gained nothing,

Couldn’t explain my success, failure, mistakes, and negligence

What I just seen or heard changed quickly

Don’t know what was accountable

What more could I ask for in life

Often I have to decide what to give up and what to keep

Exhausted my whole life

Couldn’t touch before it went away

What more could I ask for in life

We often couldn’t see in the state of confusion

Didn’t realized what I’d lost was everything I’ve got

What more could I ask for in life

I had compromised and tried hard

Once the dream dissipated, how do I retain its glitter

What more could I ask for in life

Who cares about compliments and curses

I didn’t realized what I’d lost was everything I’ve got
