天梯 [Sky Ladder] - C All Star {Cantonese 11}

This is my first post. Just decided to make a blog to have some of my favourite songs translated into English. This song is based on a true story, basically about a couple who left their village because the women's husband has passed away and the man is younger than the women.

Here is the link to the story:


If, I could find a desert island
to live in, I could dodge all the troubles in life
In the winter even if we lacked an electric heater, in each other's arms we could resist the nature

Regardless of how hard it maybe, that it seems like we are in a dead end
I could isolate myself from the rest of the world just to be with you 'til the end of our lives
Come on, let's go beyond the boundaries of this map. I do not ask for any reward aside from your well-being

I could climb this ladder to heaven with you all along, you don't have to fear
From all the slanders and rumours I will definitely protect you
I will stay by your side no matter how they foretell that our love couldn't last forever
I have a clear conscience: with you I can abandon my everything

How many of them may keep in love until as old as they may be?
When I can sacrifice even my life for you
How would I care about all their reprehension or whether they think we match each other
We would continue to hold hands despite all the changes in the world
How many of them may apprehend how much of the meaning of true love?
If I could endure, even exhausting the very last bit of my life I would devote myself entirely for our love
I wouldn't feel strength-depleted to hold you forever in my arms

The road ahead is still heavily misty
Perhaps we wouldn't know if we are heading to the cliff or the seaside
If I could hold on to you until our hairs grew white, I have no intention to go against the gods

How tall is the mountain before us? It's all barrens around us
As we climb, every step we take makes our hands rougher 
Paving a path from this rugged route so that it may be easier for you to travel

I could climb this ladder to heaven with you all along, and so even the dark sky at night looks beautiful to me
We pledged to each other on the mountain top,amidst the raging waters
I will stay by your side no matter how they foretell that our love couldn't be forever
I have a clear conscience: to be with you I could subvert this world

How many of them may keep in love until as old as they may be?
When I can sacrifice even my life for you
How would I care about all their reprehension or whether they agree we match each other
We would continue to hold hands despite all the changes in the world
How many of them may apprehend how much of the meaning of true love?
If I could endure, even exhausting the very last bit of my life I would devote myself entirely for our love
I wouldn't feel strength-depleted to have you held tightly in my arms forever

Holding hands, we are surrounded by happiness though the mud-made walls around us are crude 
walking with hands held tight, only with this courage may our love perpetuate

How many of them may keep in love until as old as they may be?
If we don't love boldly enough, how could we top the world? 
Despite all their reprehension, and regardless whether they think we match each other
We would continue to hold hands despite all the changes in the world
How many of them may apprehend how much of the meaning of true love?
If I could endure, even exhausting the very last bit of my life I would devote myself entirely for our love
I wouldn't feel strength-depleted to hold you forever in my arms tightly

How many of them may keep in love until as old as they may be?
When I can sacrifice even my life for you...
