我以前不是这样

我以前不是这样。

在家里，
人们给我豪华强力盛装。
为我命名进攻型“海狼”。
自从离开你，
常思念你寄予我的厚望。

在深海，
我“自由航行”，
耀武扬威，
横冲直闯。
自从离开你，
常思念你赐予我的辉煌。

今天，
在万里之遥的海底，
我撞上了一个物体不详。
造成我自己损坏，
十几位兄弟受伤。
我心虚、惊恐、慌张，
像黄鼠狼一样拼命逃亡。

我以前不是这样。

I Was Not Like This Before

I was not like this before.

At the home port,
People equipped me with luxurious, powerful and splendid dress,
I was named as an aggressive“sea wolf”.
But after leaving you,
Often I remember the great hope you entrusted me.

In the deep sea,
I used to conduct“free navigation”,
Running amuck and ruling the day arrogantly.
Now after leaving you,
Often I miss the captivating views you gave me.

Today,
At the sea bed thousand miles afar,
I struck an unidentified object,
Causing damage to my body,
As well as dozen of people being injured.
I was stricken by guilty of conscience, panic and confusion,
Like a yellow weasel, fleeing pell-mell.

I was not like this before.
