P.S.: Since this song is in Cantonese, I'm not going to put any pinyin translations this time because the pronunciation of Chinese characters in Cantonese and Mandarin is different, sorry for the inconvenience!

(許)夜風凜凜 ç¨å›žæœ›èˆŠäº‹å‰å¡µ
是以往的我充滿怒憤
誣告與指責 ç©å£“è‘—æ»¿è‚šæ°£ä¸æ†¤
å°è¬ è¨€å應甚為著緊
 
[Hui] The night wind is cold, I'm looking back at the things I've done in the past
It's me that was full of anger back in the days
False accusations and being scolded made me dissatisfied and my stomach full of anger
My response to rumors was very nervous

(å¼µ)å—了教訓 得了書經的指引
ç¾å·²çœ‹å¾—é€ä¸å†è‡ªå›°
但覺有分數 ä¸å†åƒä»¥å¾€é‚£èˆ¬ç¬¨
抹淚痕輕快笑著行
 
[Cheung] Being lectured and punished, I was taught and directed (to the good side?) by the book of prayers*
And I've moved on from the past and don't suffocate myself
But I know what I did wrong(?), and I'm not as stupid as I used to be
I wipe my tears quick and walk away while smiling
 
*
(åˆ)冥冥中都早注定你富或貧
是錯永ä¸å°çœŸæ°¸æ˜¯çœŸ
任你怎說安守我本份
始終相信沉默是金
 
[All] Fate have already known if you are rich or poor anyways
If it's wrong, it will never be right; (but) the truth will always be true/real
Doesn't matter what you say, as long as I do my part/responsibility
I will keep believing that silence is golden

(許)æ˜¯éžæœ‰å…¬ç† 慎言莫冒犯別人
(å¼µ)é‡ä¸Šå†·é¢¨é›¨ä¼‘太èªçœŸ
(許)自信滿心裡 ä¼‘ç†æœƒè«·åˆºèˆ‡è³ªå•
(åˆ)笑罵由人 ç‘脫地åšäºº
[Hui] The things that happen will have its fairness/reason to it (?), be careful with your words so you don't offend other people/careful words won't offend other people
[Cheung] When (you) meet a cold, rainy, and windy day, don't be too serious about it (?)
[Hui] Confidence fills (your) heart, don't care about the sarcasms and the questionings by the others
[All] Don't care when someone laughs or scolds you, and do your own thing without caring about what the others think

少年人 ç‘脫地åšäºº
繼續行 ç‘脫地åšäºº
 
Young adults, and do your own thing without caring about what the others think
Just keep going forward, and do your own thing without caring about what the others think
 
T/N:
- Book of prayers: A Buddhist book that lists Buddhist prayers
- Underlined phrases with "(?)" means that I'm not sure whether if my translations are correct or not, sorry!
