Traveling (环游)
1. About the song
Released on September 19, 2014.
“Traveling (环游)” is one of several songs chosen by Hua Chenyu which were composed by the Danish band, Dúné. He liked their songs so much that he actually chose four for his first album.
The vocals, sound effects, and instrumentation come together to make “Traveling” sound ethereal, transparent, and psychedelic; as though traveling in outer space. The lyrics describe a journey through life where Hua Chenyu encourages listeners to follow that journey with courage and youthful vitality. The song conveys the positive energy of youth, a new generation of rock style in comparison to the previous heavy and rather angry expression of the former generation.
The studio version incorporates a multitude of electronic sound effects, and although perhaps not as popular as “Ashes From Fireworks” or “I Don’t Care”, “Traveling” is an extremely challenging song to sing with a wide range and many different transitions from one register to another.

3. Lyrics Translation
Lyricist: Nagatomo Chie Mei；Liu Yuan |
| 环游 | Traveling |
|---|---|
| 我在 拥挤路口 | I stand at a crowded intersection |
| 听人群 争吵不休 | Listening to the crowd’s endless quarrels |
| 吵着无谓借口 | Arguing over pointless excuses |
| 吵着向左向右 | Arguing over going left or right |
| 我环游 这颗星球 | I travel around this planet |
| 看时间摆弄着沙漏 | Watching how time fiddles with hourglasses |
| 我不原地停留 | I don’t want to stand still |
| 我大步行走 | I stride forward |
| 走出精彩 | Striding towards brilliance |
| 双脚飞 | Fly on both feet |
| 没有疲惫 | Never tire |
| 飞翔着 倔强的花蕾 | Soaring a tenacious flower bud |
| 阳光飞 | Fly boldly |
| 没有伤悲 | Without sorrows |
| 世界明媚 | What a bright world |
| 彼岸爱上寻找 | The other shore falls in love with searching |
| 而天空爱上了奔跑 | Yet the sky falls in love with running |
| 我们怎敢睡着 | How dare we fall asleep |
| 我们怎敢牢骚 | How dare we complain |
| 生命这 无休旅程 | This life is an endless journey |
| 然后的然后是追逐 | Chasing is in the future of the future |
| 看看谁会认输 | Let’s see who will concede |
| 看谁会停步 | Let’s see who will halt their steps |
| 我会 | 一路奉陪 I will stay all the way |
| 勇敢飞 | Fly bravely |
| 拥吻雨水 | Embrace and kiss the rain |
| 逆风让翱翔 | 更珍贵 Soaring upwind makes the flight more cherished |
| 灿烂飞 | Fly gloriously |
| 拥吻沉醉 | Embrace and kiss this enchantment |
| 坚强花蕾 | An unwavering flower bud |
| 飞翔的花朵 | Soaring blossoms |
| 天空的焰火 | A blaze in the sky |
| 没有太多言说 | Few words are uttered |
| 骄傲的沉默 | This proud silence |
| 行进若不退缩 | If the march never backs off |
| 梦不会陨落 | Then dreams will not fall down |
| 飞翔的自我 | The self that flies |
| 勇敢飞 | Fly bravely |
| 拥吻雨水 | Embrace and kiss the rain |
| 逆风让翱翔更珍贵 | Soaring upwind makes the flight more cherished |
| 灿烂飞 | Fly gloriously |
| 拥吻沉醉 | Embrace and kiss the enchantment |
| 坚强花蕾 | An unwavering flower bud |
