General's Command (Your Legend) - Mayday

將軍令 - 五月天 
General's Command (Your legend) - Mayday

在等誰 一聲下令以後
才想起 呼吸你的自由
從何時 習慣這種生活 Oh ~
Waiting for someone to give the command
Then suddenly remember to breath your freedom
Since when did you get used to this kind of life? Oh~

不相信 或是相信什麼
其實你 早已被決定過
你忍受 但是不願接受 Oh ~
No matter you do not believe or believe in something
Actually your fate has been decided earlier
You endure but are not willing to accept it Oh~

歷史 落在 贏家 之手
至少 我們 擁有 傳說
誰說 敗者 無法 不朽 Oh ~
History is written by those who win
But at least we own the legend
Who said losers won't be remembered? Oh~

拳頭 只能 讓人 低頭
念頭 卻能 讓人 抬頭

抬頭 去看 去愛 去追 你心中的夢
Fist can only let people bow their head
A spark in mind can let people raise their head

Raise your head to see, to love, to chase, the dream in your heart
此生到盡頭 你是誰 曾怎麼活
他們說 就讓他們去說
生命如長風 吹過誰 的心頭
你想被記住 的那個名字 將會是什麼
When your life draws to an end, who you are and how you have lived
If they want to talk behind your back, let them be
Life is like a long wind; whose heart it has touched?
What is the name that you want to be remembered?

大時代 你我都是蜉蝣
在昨天 你我還是頑童

而今天 雙肩如此沈重 Oh ~
In this big era you and I are only mayflies
When yesterday you and I are still naughty children
But today our shoulders are heavy with burden Oh~

一首歌 只是靡靡唱遊
或者能 讓誰看見宇宙

全看你 願意聽見什麼 Oh ~
A song maybe just a sing-a-long
Or you can let someone see the galaxy
It depends on what you are willing to listen to Oh~

星月 從來 只能 沉默
微光 多難 照遍 角落
只求 點亮 你的 瞳孔 Oh ~

Stars and moon can only stay silent all these while
Dim light is so difficult to lit up all the corners
Just hope that it can lit up your pupil Oh~

戰場 不會 放過 你我
直到 人們 覺醒 自我
何時 不盼 不求 不等 將軍或英雄

Battles won't leave you and I alone
Until the people awaken themselves
When will we stop hoping, stop pleading, stop waiting for generals or heroes

此生到盡頭 你是誰 曾怎麼活
他們說 就讓他們去說
生命如長風 吹過誰 的心頭
你想被記住 的那個名字 將會是什麼

When your life draws to an end, who you are and how you have lived
If they want to talk behind your back, let them be
Life is like a long wind; whose heart it has touched?
What is the name that you want to be remembered?

蒼空盼飛鴻 蒼生等英雄
我們顛沛千年依然還在等候
失去了土地 失去了天空
自問 不能失去什麼

Sky hopes for flying eagles, people waiting for heroes
We have been facing troubles for thousand of years but are still waiting
We lost our land; we lost our sky
Ask yourself, what you cannot lose?

此刻到永久 你是誰 要怎麼活
為什麼 還在問為什麼
生命如長風 風中誰 在問我
你想被記住 的那個名字 將會是什麼
你相信什麼 你執著什麼 你就是什麼

When your life draws to an end, who you are and how you have lived
Why, why still asking why?
Life is like a long wind; who is asking me in the wind?
What is the name that you want to be remembered?
What you believe in; what you hold onto; that is you. 

Congratulations to all the people who step up and do something for the community during the Student-initiated Environmental Projects Competition 2015!

P/S: I retrieved a translated version of lyrics from Asia Pacific Arts but I did quite a lot of modification on the translation because I prefer the lyrics to be more implicit rather than direct. That's the one of the beauty of songs. *wink*
