Preparing to meet you, rehearsing two hundred times, with a calm demeanor


脉搏太急促 怕会胡言乱语很吞吐

Pulse too rapid, afraid of speaking nonsense and stammering

深宵失眠时 心中不停忙 念稿

During late-night insomnia, heart busily reciting the speech

遇见你当刻 是如何看我 真想知道

At the moment of meeting you, how do you see me? I really want to know


容纳或抗拒 忽视或仰慕 是我这个新学徒

Acceptance or rejection, disregard or admiration, I am this new apprentice


突然时间过 偶尔怀疑自我如何好

Suddenly time passes, sometimes doubting how I am doing

Farewell to the years, it's all good, even at ninety still a big kid

Like that day when we first met

习惯了很多 别人评价我 减少焦躁

zaap6 gwaan3 liu5 han2 do1 bit6 jan4 ping4 gaa3 ngo5 gaam2 siu2 ziu1 cou3

Got used to many others' opinions, reduced anxiety

还是在意你 失望或赞颂 面对我会否自豪

waan4 si6 zoi6 ji3 nei5 sat1 mong6 waak6 zaan3 zung6 min6 deoi3 ngo5 wui2 fau2 zi6 hou4

Still care about you, disappointment or praise, will I face it with pride?


未来航线里 欠缺才华能尽力弥补

In the future course, lacking talent can be made up with effort
