Song: 米店 (Mǐ diàn)

米店

三月的烟雨飘摇的南方
你坐在你空空的米店
你一手拿着苹果一手拿着命运
在寻找你自己的香
窗外的人们匆匆忙忙
把眼光丢在潮湿的路上
你的舞步划过空空的房间
时光就变成了烟

爱人 你可感到明天已经来临
码头上停着我们的船
我会洗干净头发爬上桅杆
撑起我们葡萄枝嫩叶般的家

Rice Store

Swaying amidst the misty southern rain in March,
you sit alone in your empty rice shop.
Holding in one hand an apple, the other hand your destiny,
you were looking for your own fragrance.
Pedestrian outside the window
hastily caught a glimpse of the damp road.
Your dance moves crossed the empty room,
time became vapourised.

My love, can you feel that tomorrow is coming?
Our boats are parked on the pier.
I will wash my hair and climb up the mast,
to hold up our home soft like vines.

Song: 盡頭 (Jìn tóu)

尽头

路的尽头是湖
湖的尽头是你
你的尽头有一个人看着我，
说：明天，一起下葬

生的尽头是爱
爱的尽头是船
船的尽头有一片云围绕我，
说：来吧，一起下葬

莫名其妙的情绪从山顶上飘过来
飞也飞不出的包围对我说：
一起下葬……

莫名其妙的情绪从山顶上飘过来
飞也飞不出的包围对我说：
死亡和我的梦想曾经如此的接近
三十三年的挣脱脱不了,
如何是好……

The End

(At) the end of the road is the lake
(At) the end of the lake is you
(At) the end of your sight is a man watching me
Says: tomorrow, let’s die together

The end of life is love
(At) the end of love is a ship
(At) the end of the ship is a cloud around me
Says: come on, let’s die together

Inexplicable feelings drift over from the mountain peak
An encirclement I can’t fly out of
Says: let’s die together

Inexplicable feelings drift over from the mountain peak
An encirclement I can’t fly out of
Said: death and my dreams used to be so close
Thirty three years of struggling I can’t get off
I don’t know what’s right

Song: 来了 (Lái le)

来了

爱情来了
她穿过夜色来看望一个 那不是我 是我的兄弟
她背对着我脱下淋湿的衣服
我看见外面两只喜鹊在打架
啊哈哈
我系紧鞋带冲进这夜色 夜色在唱：
啦啦啦…………………………

理想来了
他是个被母亲遗弃的小孩
有一双结实的大腿蹦蹦跳跳到处乱跑
我的兄弟曾经那么疯狂的爱着他 跟随着他
不知道兄弟什么时候偷偷哭泣 要放弃他 于是唱：
啦啦啦啦啦…………

命运来了
他带着天平给每个人算命 我看着它 睡着了
我曾经那么无知的鄙视他 诅咒他
如今我跪倒着苛求个机会 他看着我笑了 于是我唱：
啦啦啦啦啦……………………

不管曾经或者以后拥有是什么，请你相信我
我还会唱歌
或许生死或许悲欢离别是什么，亲爱的兄弟
我还会唱歌
不管永远或是现在会有些什么，请你相信我
我还会唱歌

It came

Love came
She passed through the night to visit, not me, but my brother
With her back towards me, she stripped off wet clothes
I saw two magpies fighting outside
A-ha
I tied my shoelaces and rushed into the night, the night is singing
Lalala

Ideal came
He was a child abandoned by his mother
Had a pair of sturdy thighs, jumping and running all over
My brother once loved him so crazily and followed him
Don’t know when my brother cried secretly, wanting to give him up, so I sang
Lalalalala……..

Fate came
He brought a balancing scale to tell everyone’s fortune, I looked at it and fell asleep
I once despised him so ignorantly, cursing him
Right now I kneel and beg for a chance, he looked and me and smiled, so I sang
Lalalalala……..

No matter what we possess in the past or future, please believe me
I still will sing
No matter what life and death, joy and sorrow, gathering and parting are about, dear brother
I still will sing
No matter what eternity or the present holds, please believe me
I still will sing

Song: 春末的南方城市 (Chun mo de nan fang cheng shi)

春末的南方城市

这个下雨的清晨
我从南方的这个城市准备去南方的那个城市
我和我的兄弟在一家包子铺门口分手赶往远处的站台
车上的白领睡意朦胧隔着眼屎看着我
这让人心慌 这让人心慌
这让人心慌 这让人心慌

这个下雨的清晨
我从城市的这头渡过河去城市的那头
街上的红灯绿灯闪烁不停闪烁不停闪烁 这让人心慌
兄弟在玻璃的建筑里 我在潮湿的路上
人们重复着重复着重复着重复
这让人心慌 这让人心慌
这让人心慌 这让人心慌

不知道有谁能让你述说
你这样的生活到底为了什么
我看见你靠在窗口沉默
路过了青春我们还拥有什么

这让人心慌 这让人心慌
这让人心慌 这让人心慌

不知道有谁能让你述说
你这样的生活到底为了什么
我看见你靠在窗口沉默
路过了青春我们还拥有什么

这让人心慌 这让人心慌
这让人心慌 这让人心慌
这让人心慌 这让人心慌
这让人心慌 这让人心慌
这让人心慌 这让人心慌
这让人心慌 这让人心慌
这让人心慌 这让人心慌

Southern city in late spring

In the rainy morning,
from this southern city I plan to go to that southern city.
My brother and I separated in front a dumpling stall
and I rushed to the distant bus stop.
White collar on the bus looked at me through their sleepy eyes filled with crusty stuff.
Oh it makes me anxious, it makes me anxious,
it makes me anxious, it makes me anxious.

In the rainy morning,
from this site of the city I passed through the river to reach the other site of the city.
Neon lights in the street were twinkling, flickering and glinting. It makes me anxious.
My bro was in the glass building and I was in the wet street.
Oh it makes me anxious, it makes me anxious,
it makes me anxious, it makes me anxious.

Who can let you to express yourself?
What’s the purpose of such life?
I saw you leaning against the window silently.
What will we still have after our youthful time?

Oh it makes me anxious, it makes me anxious,
it makes me anxious, it makes me anxious.
It makes me anxious, it makes me anxious,
it makes me anxious, it makes me anxious.
It makes me anxious, it makes me anxious,
it makes me anxious, it makes me anxious.
It makes me anxious, it makes me anxious,
It makes me anxious, it makes me anxious.

忽然就流出泪来，忽然想要听到她的声音
而我却什么话都说不出来

是谁在温暖你，有谁会让我觉得这夜晚还有期盼
我就会跟着它去远行

可是你在哪里，可是明天醒来的第一脸阳光
是否，会像梦里一样明亮

幻想朝西的生活
幻想着你被害怕定格的角落
最后，我一个人越走越孤单

幻想朝西的生活
幻想着你被灯光伤感了寂寞
最后，你一个人越走越孤单

害怕朝西的生活
害怕着你被灯光伤感了寂寞
最后，我们就越走越孤单

Suddenly

Suddenly, tears drown my face, suddenly, I crave her voice
But I couldn’t say a thing

Who’s warming you, who would make this night worth living for me
I’ll escape faraway with them

But where would your soul lie, would the first ray of sunlight tomorrow
Glow as bright as it did in my dreams

Dreaming of life facing west
Imagining you trapped in the corner of fear
Alas, I walk a lonely road

Dreaming of life facing west
Imagining you hurt by the lonely lights
Alas, you walk a lonely road

Fearing the life facing west
Fearing you hurt by the lonely lights
Alas, we walk a lonely road

Song: 山阴路的夏天 (Shān yīn lù de xià tiān)

山阴路的夏天

这次你离开了没有像以前那样说再见，
再见也他妈的只是再见
我们之间从来没有想像的那么接近，
只是两棵树的距离
你是否还记得山阴路我八楼的房间，
房间里唱歌的日日夜夜
那么热的夏天你看着外面，
看着你在消逝的容颜

我多么想念你走在我身边的样子，
想起来我的爱就不能停止
南京的雨不停地下不停地下，
就像你沉默的委屈

一转眼，我们的城市又到了夏天，
对面走来的人都瞇着眼
人们不敢说话不敢停下脚步，
因为心动常常带来危险
我多么想念你走在我身边的样子，
想起来我的爱就不能停止
南京的雨不停地下不停地下，
有些人却注定要相遇
你是一片光荣的叶子落在我卑贱的心
像往常一样我为自己生气并且歌唱
那么乏力，爱也吹不动的叶子

Summer on Shanyin Road

This time you left without saying goodbye,
as if a goodbye would mean something
We were never as close as we thought,
Just two trees apart
Still remember my room on the 8th floor on Shanyin Road?
The days and nights we sang
Look outside on this hot summer day,
Look at your fading beauty

Missing the way you walked beside me,
My heart can’t stop bleeding thinking of it
Nanjing’s rain doesn’t stop coming,
Like your silent grievances

In a flash, it’s summer here once more,
The passer-bys all squinting
They fear to speak but they can’t stop,
The feelings inside is a source of danger
Missing the way you walked beside me,
My heart can’t stop bleeding thinking of it
Nanjing’s rain doesn’t stop coming,
Some people are just meant to meet
You’re a proud leaf falling on my lowly heart
As usual I grief my mistakes and sing,
Defeatly, about the leaf love can’t blow away

Song: 寻找 (Xún zhǎo)

寻找

我在恶心的世界里，寻找一个像你的人
在每个想你的夏天里，等另一种感情
我在失败的生活里，寻找一个爱我的人
我的悲伤，浪漫和幻想，不对她说起

我再也不会把自己，愚蠢的交给过去
我的生活和我的想法，从此相隔了万里
我整夜整夜地失眠，不是为了和谁再相见
曾经爱你的每一条街，
是我新鲜生活的起点

我在陌生的感动里，寻找一个像你的人
就算像过去一样被误解，不快乐又如何
我在干裂的春天里，寻找一个平凡的人
她的善良，甜蜜和阳光，陪伴我自己

我再也不会把自己，彻底的交给一个人
我的理想就像这黑夜，一分一秒的断裂
我一天一天地发呆，不是为了酝酿些什么
真情早已经被他们毁灭，
还有什么不能去拒绝

是否你也在沉默里，寻找一个像我的人
在每个想我的季节里，和他们在一起

Searching

I am, in this wicked world, searching for someone like you
In every summer where I miss you, waiting for another love
I am, in my failed life, searching for someone who loves me
My sorrow, sentimentality, and fantasy were not told to her

I will no longer hand myself foolishly over to the past
My life and my ideas are a thousand miles apart
I lose sleep for whole nights, not to meet again with anyone
In every street where I loved you
There lies the starting point of my life

I am, in unfamiliar touching moments, searching for someone like you
Even if I am misunderstood like in the past, so what if I am unhappy
I am, in the arid spring, looking for an ordinary person
Her kindness, sweetness, and sunlight will accompany me

I will no longer hand myself completely to a person
My ideals are like this night, breaking apart by the second
I spend whole days in a daze, not to painstakingly prepare for anything
Sincerity is already destroyed by them
What else cannot be rejected

Are you, in the silence, also searching for someone like me
To be together with them, in every season where you miss me

Song: 定西 (Dìng xī)

定西

这么多年你一个人一直在走
方向和天气的节奏会让你忧愁
你说你遇见了一大堆奇怪的人
他们看上去好像都比你开心

你能不能抽空替我去一个地方
据说那的人都擅长给别人答案
如果你想知道关于它的其他事情
我也不会给你刘堃的电话号码

多想和你一样臭不要脸
墨镜和表情都挂在脸上
穿什么吃什么玩什么都可以
今天爱他明天恨他也可以

这么多年我一个人一直在走
走过了人性的背后和白云苍狗
总以为答案会出现在下一个车站
随后的事情我不说你也能明白

悲伤是奢侈品我消受不起
快乐像噩梦总让人惊醒
你要哭吧就哭吧就随意吧
反正我早已习惯不去相信

悲伤是奢侈品我消受不起
快乐像噩梦一转眼惊醒
你要走吧就走吧就随意吧
反正我早已决定不再回去

Dingxi

For so many years you kept walking alone
The rhythm of the direction and weather makes you sorrowful
You said you met a ton of strange people

All of them appeared to be happier than you
Can you take out some time to accompany to a place
It is said that a person there is good at giving answers
Even if you want to know about other things related to it
I will not give you Liu Kun’s phone number
How I wish I can stink shamelessly like you
Hanging your sunglasses and expressions on your face
Being fine with wearing, eating and playing anything
Being fine with loving him today, hating him tomorrow

For so many years I kept walking alone
Passing the backside of human nature and freakish changes of the world
Assuming that the answer will surface at the next bus stop
What happened afterward you can understand without me saying
Sorrow is a luxury I cannot consume
Happiness is like a nightmare that shocks you awake
If you want to cry, just cry, just do anything
Anyway I am used to not believing
Sorrow is a luxury I cannot consume
Happiness is like a nightmare that shocks you awake
If you want to go, just go, just do anything
Anyway I have long decided not to return

Song: 天空之城 (Tiān kōng zhī chéng)

天空之城

飞机飞过天空，天空之城
落雨下的黄昏的我们
此刻我在异乡的夜里
感觉着你忽明忽暗

我想回到过去，沉默着欢喜
天空之城在哭泣越来越明亮的你
爱情不过是生活的屁
折磨着我也折磨着你

港岛妹妹，你献给我的西班牙馅饼
甜蜜地融化了我，天空之城在哭泣
港岛妹妹，我们曾拥有的甜蜜的爱情
疯狂地撕裂了我，天空之城在哭泣

有人路过那里，回来告诉我
天空之城在哭泣无法呼吸的你
此刻我在异乡的夜里
想念着你越来越远

City in the Sky

The plane flies across the sky, past the city in the sky
The raining evening envelopes us
Right now I am in a foreign land at night
Feeling your flickering presence

I long to return to the past, to that silent joy
The city in the sky is crying for you who are growing brighter, brighter
Love is but life’s trash
Torturing me and torturing you

Island girl, you presented to me a Spanish pie
The sweetness melted me, the city is the sky is crying
Island girl, the sweet love we once had
Tore me apart crazily, the city in the sky is crying

Someone passed by that place and returned to tell me
The city in the sky is crying for you who cannot breath
Right now I am in a foreign land at night
Missing you who are getting further, further
