我是只咸鱼
Salted fish
Words and Music by Ashin
I am a salted fish, I don’t want to admit it but I can’t deny it
Don’t pity my stupidity, or praise my naivety, or dream in vain that I’ll change
Because if a salted fish tries to change, it’s still just a salted fish, it loses sincerity
At least in the end, I have the salted fish’s great pride of never rotting away
I have no real talent, yet I have the naivety of dreams
I’m foolish, but not dim-witted, I’m going to bear witness, using my life
I, if I have a dream, I may make mistakes,
but only if you’ve made mistakes can you have understanding, understanding of what persistence really is
I, if I have a dream, the dream might be crazy,
but only if it’s crazy can I become a hero and one day have a legend of my own
I’m not good, nor am I bad, I’m not particularly outstanding, I just dare to be different
My life is just one mistake after another, after finishing one mistake, starting over
Perhaps giving up a little might make living more relaxing, but then I wouldn’t be me
I’m not willing to spend my life relaxing in the sun and wind, even a salted fish should have a dream
I have no real talent, yet I have the naivety of dreams
I’m foolish, but not dim-witted, I’m going to testify using my life
I, if I have a dream, I may make mistakes,
but only if you’ve made mistakes can you have understanding, understanding of what persistence really is
I, if I have a dream, the dream might be crazy,
but only if it’s crazy can I become a hero and one day have a legend of my own
One day I’ll have my heaven
I’ll be my own hero, in my heaven; I know you understand, I know you can understand, na…
