This song comes from Han Geng’s 2012 new album 寒更 Han Geng (Hope in the darkness).
背叛灵魂这首歌曲所描述的内容不是在探讨爱情，友情或亲情，而是在探讨每一个人内心深处对于我们存在於这个世界上这个问题的疑惑, 什么东西对于人们有真正的意义？当我们最后面对死亡时, 我们遗留了什么在这世界上? 现实剥夺走我们许多的纯真, 我们是否应该释放懊悔的心灵？
bèipàn línghún zhè shǒu gēqǔ suǒ miáoshù de nèiróng bù shì zài tàntǎo àiqíng , yǒuqíng huò qīnqíng, érshì zài tàntǎo měiyīgerén nèixīn shēnchù duìyú wǒmen cúnzài yú zhège shìjièshàng zhège wèntí de yíhuò , shénme dōngxi duìyú rénmen yǒu zhēn zhèng de yìyì ? dàng wǒmen zuìhòu miànduì sǐwáng shí , wǒmen yíliú le shénme zài zhè shìjièshàng ? xiànshí bōduó zǒu wǒmen xǔduō de chúnzhēn , wǒmen shìfǒu yīnggāi shìfàng àohuǐ de xīnlíng ?
The content described by the song ” Betrayal of the soul” is not to probe love, friendship or family love, but to investigate the doubt in everyone’s deep inner heart about the question of our existence in this world. What kinds of things have real meanings for people? When we finally face death, what will we leave behind in this world? Reality deprived us too much of innocence. Should we release our contrite heart?
韩庚在这首歌中，以本我的角度去看这个世界，在人们经历了足够多了之后，也许人们会更容易回归到最自然，最纯真的状态，更能够去分辨世界的黑白是非，也会更有勇气去面对自己的不足与世界的残酷。
Hán Gēng zài zhè shǒu gē zhōng , yǐ běn Wǒ de jiǎodù qù kàn zhège shìjiè , zài rénmen jīnglì le zúgòu duō le zhīhòu , yěxǔ rénmen huì gēng róngyìhuíguī dào zuì zìrán , zuì chúnzhēn de zhuàngtài , gèng nénggòu qù fēnbiàn shìjiè de hēibái shìfēi, yě huì gèng yǒu yǒngqì qù miànduì zìjǐ de bùzú yǔ shìjiè de cánkù .
In this song, Han Geng, sees the world from the angle of oneself. After people experienced enough, maybe it would be easier for people to return to the most natural, purest state, and be more able to differentiate between the world’s black and white, right and wrong and also would have more courage to face their own inadequacies and the brutality of the world.

当夜晚又叹息
dāng yèwǎn yòu tànxī
When the night sighed again,
对我吐一口空虚
duì Wǒ tǔ yī kǒu kōngxū
It blew me one mouth of emptiness
毫无止境
háowú zhǐjìng
Completely without ending boundary
掉入了存在的反省
diào rùle cúnzài de fǎnxǐng
Fell into self conscientious examination of (the question of) existence
当心里又哭泣 (我呐喊着觉醒)
dāngxīn lǐ yòu kūqì (Wǒ nàhǎn zhe juéxǐng )
When inside the heart cried again ( I shouted ” waking up”)
想起最初的自己
xiǎngqǐ zuìchū de zìjǐ
Thought of the starting point of myself
年少的信念
niànshǎo de xìnniàn
The belief of youth
如何无畏无惧
rúhé wúwèi wú jù
How fearless, how unfrightened
到底我活了什么
dàodǐ Wǒ huóle shénme
What on earth did I live for?
在这一路上滚动
zài zhè yī lù shàng gǔndòng
Rolling and moving on this one path
沾满了一身的灰
zhān Mǎn le yīshēn de huī
The dust covered whole body
浇熄了狂热的梦 (逝去的花火)
jiāo xīle kuángrè de mèng (shìqù de huāhuǒ )
Poured water to extinguish feverish dreams ( the past firework like flower)
到底我变成什么 (挣扎的)
dàodǐ Wǒ biànchéng shénme (zhēngzhá de )
What on earth did I change into (struggled)
说着妥协的理由 (纠结的)
shuōzhe tuǒxié de lǐyóu (jiū jié de )
Talking about the reason of compromise (tangled)
出卖了多少纯真 (矛盾的)
chūmài le duōshao chúnzhēn (máodùn de )
Sold out how many pureness (conflicting)
忘记了怎样感动
wàng jì le zěnyàng gǎndòng
Forgot about how I got moved
背叛我的灵魂
bèipàn Wǒ de línghún
betrayed my soul
你摆脱不了堕落
nǐ bǎituō bù liǎo duòluò
You could not escape the fallen
你掩饰不了荒谬
nǐ yǎnshì bù liǎo huāngmiù
You can not conceal the absurdity
你利用了我的脆弱
nǐ lìyòng le Wǒ de cuìruò
You use my fragility
背叛我的灵魂
bèipàn Wǒ de línghún
Betray my soul
求你不要扯破我
qiúnǐbùyào chě pò Wǒ
Beg you don’t tear me
求你不要扭曲我
qiúnǐbùyào niǔqū Wǒ
Beg you don’t twist me
求你让我保留
qiúnǐràng wǒ bǎoliú
Beg you to let me preserve
再狂奔的自由
zài kuáng bēn de zìyóu
The freedom of frantic running
当世界又安静
dāng shìjiè yòu ānjìng
When the world turns quiet again
名和利都会过去
míng hé lì dōuhuì guòqù
Fame and wealth all will pass
留下的回忆
liúxià de huíyì
The remaining memory
也许只是一首歌
yěxǔ zhǐ shì yī shǒu gē
Perhaps just is a song
到底我活了什么
dàodǐ Wǒ huóle shénme
What on earth did I live for?
在这一路上滚动
zài zhè yī lù shàng gǔndòng
Rolling and moving on this one path
沾满了一身的灰
