Life’s long road has been so hard to tread
No connections no good fortune ahead
All these years I’m still right where I began
I stare in the mirror with nothing to show for my plan
Did I do something wrong in a past life long ago
That this life brings me nothing but endless woe
Hou Yaqiang Hou Yaqiang oh Hou Yaqiang Hou Yaqiang
I call to heaven heaven gives no reply
I call to the earth the earth stays silent by
Why does sickness cling to me and wear my spirit down
Why did love in the end just turn around and leave town
Oh life dear life why bring me joy and then deep sorrow
Late at night all alone I turn to Kugou to follow
I listen to the songs that I myself have written
They hold my joys and all my wounds unhidden
Every word I’ve longed to say goes into every line
All the grief helplessness and pain fade with time
Empty room only my shadow keeps me company
I light one cigarette when the last one burns away completely
Old dreams have been washed out by reality’s tide
Only weariness lingers deep down inside
Am I doomed to walk this life all on my own
Every effort I’ve made just vanishes and is gone
Hou Yaqiang Hou Yaqiang oh Hou Yaqiang Hou Yaqiang
When will I break free from fate’s heavy chain
Why does sickness cling to me and wear my spirit down
Why did love in the end just turn around and leave town
Oh life dear life why bring me joy and then deep sorrow
Late at night all alone I turn to Kugou to follow
I listen to the songs that I myself have written
They hold my joys and all my wounds unhidden
Every word I’ve longed to say goes into every line
All the grief helplessness and pain fade with time
Maybe one day maybe one day
Like a moth to flame I’ll drift away
No one will remember my name
No more sneers no more judgment to bear each day
Why does sickness cling to me and wear my spirit down
Why did love in the end just turn around and leave town
Oh life dear life why bring me joy and then deep sorrow
Late at night all alone I turn to Kugou to follow
I listen to the songs that I myself have written
They hold my joys and all my wounds unhidden
Every word I’ve longed to say goes into every line
All the grief helplessness and pain fade with time
