Chen Xiao-Yun – 免失志 (English translation)

(Verse 1)
Pour another round, I’m not drunk, not yet.
Crack it open, drink it down till we’re all set.
Just one more glass, I’m still clear, I’m still fine,
Let the liquid burn, make this moment mine.
(Chorus)
Looking at you feels like I’m already high,
Eyes half-closed, hazy under this sky.
You and me—same kind, same soul, same thirst,
Let’s pour it up, drink our fill, put life’s worries first.
(Refrain)
Drink it down, drink it down, I’m not drunk, no—
Drink it down, drink it down, still in control though.
Life has its ups and downs, what’s a little fall?
Don’t lose that fire inside, stand up tall.
When the moment comes, nothing can hold you back at all.
(Verse 2)
Keep ’em coming, I’m still steady on my feet.
Bottles open, pouring out the beat.
Looking at you’s a buzz without the drink,
Two kindred spirits on the same wavelength, I think.
(Refrain)
Drink it down, drink it down, I’m not drunk, no—
Drink it down, drink it down, still in control though.
Life has its highs and lows, small bumps in the road.
Don’t you dare lose that spark, lighten the load.
When opportunity knocks, blow the doors off the abode.
(Outro)
Ah… I’m not drunk.
Just free.
