Sandcastle Legacy
沙堡遗产沙堡遺產Intro
你用半生你用半生
You spent half your life
把穷日子埋掉把窮日子埋掉
Burying the days of poverty
却没等到卻沒等到
But you did not live to
坐进自己的王朝坐進自己的王朝
Sit within the dynasty you built
Verse 1
少年空手 一路熬少年空手 一路熬
You started with empty hands and endured all the way
肩上扛家 往上跑肩上扛家 往上跑
You carried the family and kept climbing
一砖一瓦 盖得高一磚一瓦 蓋得高
Brick by brick, you built it high
只盼孩子 别再倒只盼孩子 別再倒
Hoping only that your children would never fall again
青春换屋 汗换钞青春換屋 汗換鈔
You traded your youth for a home and sweat for money
苦都吞下 没人知道苦都吞下 沒人知道
You swallowed every hardship where no one could see
以为家富 人就牢以為家富 人就牢
You thought wealth would bind the family close
谁知岁月 先收刀誰知歲月 先收刀
Who knew time would strike first
Pre-Chorus
沙漏尽沙漏盡
The hourglass ran out
人先老人先老
And you grew old first
留下屋留下屋
You left us a house
留不住拥抱留不住擁抱
But could not preserve the embrace
Chorus
浪一来 沙堡倒浪一來 沙堡倒
When the waves arrive, the sandcastle falls
谁还记得为谁盖得那么高誰還記得為誰蓋得那麼高
Who still remembers for whom it was built so high?
钱一分 门一关錢一分 門一關
The money is divided and the doors close
几十年的亲情散成一把沙幾十年的親情散成一把沙
Decades of family love scatter into a handful of sand
爸 你留下的王朝爸 你留下的王朝
Dad, the dynasty you left behind
怎么最后只剩谁多 谁少怎麼最後只剩誰多 誰少
How did it end with only who received more and who received less?
你带我们离开穷你帶我們離開窮
You led us out of poverty
却没留下——卻沒留下——
But did not leave us
怎么一起走怎麼一起走
The way to keep walking together
怎么一起走怎麼一起走
The way to keep walking together
Verse 2
灵堂散了 帐本开靈堂散了 帳本開
The mourners left, and the ledgers opened
旧伤旧怨 全翻出来舊傷舊怨 全翻出來
Every old wound and grievance was brought back
有人要多 有人不甘有人要多 有人不甘
Some wanted more; others would not accept it
血比水浓 怎么也会干血比水濃 怎麼也會乾
If blood is thicker than water, how can it still run dry?
房子有墙 心没墙房子有牆 心沒牆
A house has walls, but hearts should not
水泥很硬 人却散水泥很硬 人卻散
The concrete stood firm, yet the family scattered
我们继承你的家产我們繼承你的家產
We inherited everything you owned
却弄丢你想留的模样卻弄丟你想留的模樣
But lost the family you wanted to leave behind
Chorus
浪一来 沙堡倒浪一來 沙堡倒
When the waves arrive, the sandcastle falls
谁还记得为谁盖得那么高誰還記得為誰蓋得那麼高
Who still remembers for whom it was built so high?
钱一分 门一关錢一分 門一關
The money is divided and the doors close
几十年的亲情散成一把沙幾十年的親情散成一把沙
Decades of family love scatter into a handful of sand
爸 你留下的王朝爸 你留下的王朝
Dad, the dynasty you left behind
怎么最后只剩谁多 谁少怎麼最後只剩誰多 誰少
How did it end with only who received more and who received less?
你带我们离开穷你帶我們離開窮
You led us out of poverty
却没留下——卻沒留下——
But did not leave us
怎么一起走怎麼一起走
The way to keep walking together
Bridge
没有王沒有王
There is no king
只剩沙只剩沙
Only sand remains
没有路沒有路
There is no road
只剩家只剩家
Only home remains
我站在倒掉的城墙下我站在倒掉的城牆下
I stand beneath the fallen walls
一把一把一把一把
Handful by handful
重新抓重新抓
I gather it again
重新抓重新抓
I gather it again
Verse 3
现在换我 再筑堡現在換我 再築堡
Now it is my turn to build the castle again
浪会来 我早知道浪會來 我早知道
I have always known the waves will come
做对的留 错的埋掉做對的留 錯的埋掉
I will keep what was right and bury what was wrong
别让孩子 替我补考別讓孩子 替我補考
I will not make my children retake my failures
我的高度 不是顶我的高度 不是頂
My height is not the summit
只是下一代的地只是下一代的地
It is only the ground beneath the next generation
你若走得比我更远你若走得比我更遠
If you travel farther than I did
那才算——那才算——
Only then is it
我的胜利我的勝利
My victory
Final Chorus
浪会来 沙堡倒浪會來 沙堡倒
The waves will come and the sandcastle will fall
倒了以后 就再盖得更高倒了以後 就再蓋得更高
After it falls, we will build it higher
我留下 不是钞我留下 不是鈔
What I leave behind is not money
是让你知道什么值得守好是讓你知道什麼值得守好
It is knowing what is worth protecting
孩子啊 往前跑孩子啊 往前跑
My child, run forward
我的成功给你 失败我带走我的成功給你 失敗我帶走
Take my successes; I will carry away my failures
别守著我的王朝別守著我的王朝
Do not guard my dynasty
去盖你的——去蓋你的——
Go and build your own
沙堡沙堡
Sandcastle
愿下一代願下一代
May the next generation
站得比我们更高站得比我們更高
Stand higher than we ever did
