这一生我等得好长
Zhe yisheng, wo deng de haochang
This life, I waited for so long

从懵懂少年到孤独的王
Cong mengdong shaonian dao gudu de wang
From an ignorant boy to a lonely duke

这一世我爱得好伤
Zhe yishi, wo ai de hao shang
This lifetime, I loved too much (it hurts)

任你把剑插进我胸膛
Ren ni ba jian chajin wo xiongtang
You can stab the sword in my chest

我的战马飞踏为你平天下
Wo de zhanma feita, wei ni ping tianxia
My war horses will fly, calming the world for you

你的琴弦拨动伴我啸天涯
Ni de qinxian bo dong, ban wo xia tianya
Your qin strings will tremble, accompanying me to the end of the world

愿为你舍江山为你卸铠甲
Yuan wei ni she jiangshan, wei ni xie kaijia
Willing to forgo the rivers and mountains [meaning the country], remove the armor for you

愿牵你的手陪你到青丝变白发
Yuan qian ni de shou, pei ni dao qingsi bian bai fa
Willing to hold onto your hand, stay with you until your black hair fades to grey

孤傲的背影掩不住紧锁的眉
Gu ao de beiying, yan bu zhu jin suo de mei
Your aloof back, cannot hide your knitted brows
{Alternate TL: Frown}

芳香的一吻止不住风干的泪
Fangxiang de yi wen, zhi bu zhu fenggan de lei
Your fragrant kiss, cannot stop air-dried tears

不羁的岁月诉不完思念如水
Buji de suiyue, su bu wan sinian ru shui
Those unrestrained years, of endless yearning like water

自问来时路走不尽爱的轮回
Zi wen laishi lu, zou bu jin ai de lunhui
Asked myself which road I took to come here, through endless reincarnations of love

赏漫天落花如你笑颜相随
Shang mantian luohua, ru ni xiaoyan xiang sui
Admiring the sky studded with falling flowers, as stunning as your smiling face
