The Dark Horse’s Wander Mandarin Lyrics English Translation
Li Ronghao describes exhaustion after resistance as what we call growth. He invents a lover and a friend to cope with loneliness, showing transient connections that fade without confrontation.
Huíqù De Lùshàng Zì Shuō Zì HuàTalking to myself on the way back home.
Gùzhí De Duìkàng Wǎngwǎng Huì TóuxiángStubborn resistance often ends in surrender.
Bèi Cuòfùle De Qínggǎn Quèshí Hěn YíhànIt’s truly a shame about the affection that was wasted.
Màn Man Dǒngdéle Tuìràng Tuì Dé Lǐsuǒ YīngdāngI’ve slowly learned to back down, accepting it as the natural way.
Yóuhuà Lǐ De Shān Láihuí Yī TàngA round trip to the mountains inside an oil painting.
Lièwù Shòule Shāng Yào Zěnme FēixiángHow is the wounded prey supposed to fly?
Duìkàng Hòu De Píbèi Gǎn Jiàozuò ChéngzhǎngThat exhaustion after resisting is what we call ‘growth’.
Yuánlái Shìjiè Cóng Méiyǒu Nà Zhǒng Jùqíng De FǎnzhuǎnIt turns out the world never really has those dramatic plot twists.
Qù Wǒ De Xīnlǐ Zǒu Yī Zǒu Zài Duōnián YǐhòuCome take a walk inside my heart, many years from now.
