We live on a hillside of the steppe
Beautiful skies, a fine life
One day, a big wild wolf appeared
Its wounds were terribly severe

You say, let’s heal him
I know you would think this way
Of course, anyway we don’t have any friends
Therefore the wolf became our friend

One day, I was eaten by the wolf
On the steppe where we often played
He said I was an extremely delicious meal
I said, you’re welcome

No problem, no problem, you can eat it for my sake
But take care not to eat too much
Thank you for taking this sweet revenge for me
Then can I humbly request that you
Devour his body and spirit
Let me become you

Title: 住进狼胃里
Artist: 昏鸦
Link: https://youtu.be/4s8J8zti8qw
Translation: https://www.notion.so/7718ebe1acf842c69eab109bedd3cfd5

Chinese lyrics

我们住在草原的山坡上
天空美丽,生活美好
有一天来了一只大野狼
它受了很重很重的伤

你说我们来医治它吧
我也知道你会那么地想
当然好阿,反正我们也没有朋友
于是狼成为了我们的朋友

有一天我被狼吃掉了
在我们常玩耍的草原
它说我是非常美味的一餐
我说别客气

可以可以的,你可以为我吃掉它
但小心别吃太饱了喔
谢谢你为我完成这甜蜜复仇
那就再麻烦你
吃掉它的身体和灵魂
让我成为你

Challenge #73: He says he’d like to eat all the humans

Use the translated English lyrics below to find the title and artist of the song. Bonus points for providing a video or audio link. A short audio clip is provided as an additional hint, should you need it.
 



There’s a polar bear
Sitting on the sofa in our house
Drinking cola through a straw
Says the North Pole is too hot now

He asks me, can we turn the air conditioning on?
I say "no nuclear power", gotta be environmentally conscious
He silently looks at my refrigerator
I say don’t even think about it, no way in hell you’ll fit

Woo, why are you looking at me like that?
It’s not like I’m a hunter
Woo, why are you looking at me like that?
You say I’m not drooling, it’s tears

Crawl into bed without even bathing
Snatched away my cotton quilt, but doesn’t use it
Sleeping on my body, makes me hot as hell
He says you finally understand my pain, huh?

Pointing at the iceberg in the TV news
Says his home doesn’t look like that now
Crying, says the fish have all been eaten by humans
And he says he’d like to eat all the humans

Woo, why are you looking at me like that?
Ten of me wouldn’t be enough to fill the gaps in your teeth
Woo, why are you asking if I live by myself?
What do want to do, what do you want to do?

Wawuwawuwa, he swallowed one of my hands
Smoking my cigarettes, but doesn’t carelessly discard the butts
Wawuwawuwa, he swallowed one of my legs
Take my credit card to go shopping online
Wawuwawuwa, he swallows my body
Wear my clothes and start to go to work
Wawuwawuwa, don’t hang my head on the wall

Wawuwawuwa, living happy days
Wawuwawuwa, are these happy days?

Chinese lyrics

有一只北极熊
坐在我们家的沙发上
用吸管喝着可乐
说北极现在太热啦

他问我 能不能开个冷气
我说核电归零要环保啊
他默默看着我的冰箱
我说你想都别想进去啊,鬼才装得下

呜 你干嘛这样看着我啊
我又不是猎人啊
呜 你干嘛这样看着我啊
你说哥流的不是口水是眼泪啊

没洗澡就爬上床
抢走我的棉被却不盖啊
睡在我的身上,想热死我啊
他说你终于明白我的苦了吧

指着电视新闻里的冰山上
说他家现在才不是长那样
哭着说鱼都被人类吃光光
而他也想把人类吃光光

呜 你干嘛这样看着我啊
十个我也不够你塞牙缝啦
呜 你干嘛问我是一个人住吗
你想干嘛,你想干嘛

哇呜哇呜哇 他吞了我的一只手啊
抽着我的烟却不会乱丢烟蒂啊
哇呜哇呜哇 他吞了我的一只脚啊
拿着我的信用卡上网去shopping啦
哇呜哇呜哇 他吞了我的身体啊
穿上我的衣服,开始去上班啦
哇呜哇呜哇 别把我的脑袋挂在墙上

哇呜哇呜哇 过上好日子啦
哇呜哇呜哇 这是好日子吗

Challenge #72: Remember to be happy on New Year's day

Like a top, every day spinning non-stop
Why the heck are you so crazy busy?
Like a powerful eagle flying up into the blue sky
That’s how it understands the white cloud’s loneliness
The lonely wind blows away the sky-filling snow
Wants to invite it to dance and flutter

Want to wish you a happy new year, happy new year
A happy smile makes you more beautiful
Want to wish you a happy new year, happy every day
Worries and vexations, cast them all aside
Wulalalalala ye ye
Wulalalalala oh ye ye
Gotta be happy on new year's, remember it

Like a satellite, or orbiting other people
Spinning to and fro, can it receive praise?
Like a peacock, looking bright and fresh
How many years did it wait until it could spread its tail?
A tiny heart hides a lot of dreams
The more setbacks, the more bravery is needed

Want to wish you a happy new year, happy new year
A happy smile makes you more beautiful
Want to wish you a happy new year, happy every day
Worries and vexations, cast them all aside
Wulalalalala ye ye
Wulalalalala oh ye ye
Gotta be happy on new year's, remember it

Every person in this world, what are they crazily chasing after?
Does living just make you more tired and more perplexed?
The moment the new year arrives, return to childhood
Once again search for that innocent happiness

Want to wish you a happy new year, happy new year
A happy smile makes this world beautiful
Want to wish you a happy new year, happy every day
A good mood leads to humming a song
Wulalalalala ye ye
Wulalalalala oh ye ye
Gotta be happy on new year's, remember it
Happy new year, happy happy!

Chinese lyrics

像一颗陀螺,每天不停忙
昏天暗地究竟为什么
像一只雄鹰 飞上了蓝天
才懂得白云的孤单
寂寞的风 吹开漫天的雪
想邀请它来舞翩翩

想要祝你新年快乐,新年快乐
开心的笑让你更美好
想要祝你新年快乐,天天快乐
忧愁烦恼全抛掉
Wulalalalala ye ye
Wulalalalala oh ye ye
新年一定要快乐,你要记得

像一颗卫星 围着别人转
转来转去能否得到称赞
像一只孔雀,看上去光鲜
开屏瞬间等待多少年
小小的心 藏着许多的梦
越受挫越要勇敢

想要祝你新年快乐,新年快乐
开心的笑让你更美好
想要祝你新年快乐,天天快乐
忧愁烦恼全抛掉
Wulalalalala ye ye
Wulalalalala oh ye ye
新年一定要快乐,你要记得

每个人在这世上 疯狂地追什么
是否越活越累越困惑
新年来临的时刻 回到小时候
重新找到那些纯真快乐

想要祝你新年快乐,新年快乐
开心地笑让这世界美好
想要祝你新年快乐,天天快乐
好心情都哼成歌
Wulalalalala ye ye
Wulalalalala oh ye ye
新年一定要快乐,你要记得
新年快乐,快快乐乐!

Na ta c na ta sa
A tree has something to say
Na ta cei na ta c
A stringed instrument sings
Na ta c na ta sa
I fall down on the wild mountain side
Na ta cei na ta sa
Grass kisses my feet
Kei mo la jin na jiu kei mo la jin na jiu
Open your hands and listen to the sand fall
My house caught on fire, you followed the flame's light to find me
Kei mo la jin na jiu kei mo la jin na jiu
Stand on clouds, watch rain fall
My life cracked open, that's how sunlight came shining in
Na ta c na ta sa
Step in the red ocean, float on the river
Na ta cei na ta sa
I've walked through wilderness and deserts
Na ta cei na ta sa
My walking stick sprouted
Na ta c na ta sa
A pair of rainbows appear

Kei mo la jin na jiu kei mo la jin na jiu
Open your hands and listen to the sand fall
If a cloud doesn't cry, rain can't fall
Kei mo la jin na jiu kei mo la jin na jiu
Stand on clouds, watch rain fall
If a seed doesn't die, how can wheat be born?

Kei mo la jin na jiu kei mo la jin na jiu
Open your hands and listen to the sand fall
My house caught on fire, you followed the flame's light to find me
Kei mo la jin na jiu kei mo la jin na jiu
Stand on clouds, watch rain fall
My life cracked open, that's how sunlight came shining in

Only when life cracks open
Na ta c na ta sa
Can the sun come shining in

放开双手听沙落
一朵云儿若不哭哦,雨滴不会落下来哟

Kei mo la jin na jiu kei mo la jin na jiu
放开双手听沙落

Kei mo la jin na jiu kei mo la jin na jiu
站在云上看雨落
我的生命裂了缝,阳光才能照进来哟

原来生命裂了缝
Na ta c na ta sa
阳光才能照进来哟

This world is too crowded
I have a small vegetable plot
This place is far from the 107
No smog or car fumes

My home isn’t in the big city
No need to smile at everyone you meet
No need to strive for money and power
I just need to make sure my tomatoes are clean

You take a Bombardier to go up in the air
My tomatoes are clean
When you land you drive a Ferrari
My tomatoes are clean

You wear a Rolex on your wrist
My tomatoes are clean
You wear Hermès around your waist
My tomatoes are clean

This world is too crowded
I have a small vegetable plot
This place is far from the 107
No smog or car fumes

My home isn’t in the big city
No need to smile at everyone you meet
No need to strive for money and power
I just need to make sure my tomatoes are clean

Your body is covered in Boucheron
My tomatoes are clean
You’ve sprayed Chanel from top to bottom
My tomatoes are clean

Tonight you’re lodging in the Burj Al Arab
My tomatoes are clean
You serve Martell at a fancy party
My tomatoes are clean

My tomatoes are clean
My tomatoes are clean
My tomatoes are clean
My tomatoes are clean

Chinese lyrics

这个世界太拥挤
我有一片小菜地
这里远离107
没有雾霾和尾气

我家不在大城市
不用逢人都笑嘻嘻
不用争夺名和利
只要我的番茄是干净的

你上天就坐庞巴迪
我的番茄是干净的
你落地就开法拉利
我的番茄是干净的

你手上戴着劳力士
我的番茄是干净的
你腰里系着爱马仕啊
我的番茄是干净的

这个世界太拥挤
我有一片小菜地
这里远离107
没有雾霾和尾气

我家不在大城市
不用逢人都笑嘻嘻
不用争夺名和利
只要我的番茄是干净的

你全身都是宝诗龙
我的番茄是干净的
你上下都喷着香奈尔
我的番茄是干净的

你今晚下榻在帆船
我的番茄是干净的
你觥筹交错马爹利
我的番茄是干净的

我的番茄是干净的
我的番茄是干净的
我的番茄是干净的
我的番茄是干净的

Since a potato’s composition
Is mostly a bunch of starch
You shouldn’t try to
Compare it with spinach in terms of vitamin A

You can use it with hot peppers to stir fry
A plate of vinegary julienned potato
So umami, spicy, fresh, crispy
You can totally treat it as a staple food

It also contains vitamin A
Has more thiamine than spinach
Stores a long time without spoiling

Since summer is a
Hot and suffocating season
You shouldn’t try to
Compare it with winter in terms of coolness

During the hottest time at noon, you can go out for a walk
Get some sun, sweat, detoxify, enliven blood circulation
Don’t ever need to spend money steaming in the sauna

Got some exercise, distracted oneself a bit
Also became familiar with the surrounding area
Got some exercise, distracted oneself a bit
Also became familiar with the surrounding area

Since the kid will grow up
You can’t stop it no matter what you do
Then you shouldn’t treat him
Like you would treat a Pekinese dog

Let him mistakenly believe this world
Is both refreshingly cool and warm
Basically it’s as if you took a frog
And put it into a pot filled with cold water that you slowly heat up

Flame burns ever more brightly, water gets ever hotter
Until he slowly loses perception

Since I told you that I love you
And you still don’t love me
Then why not just stay silent
And board a random train

Who cares if it’s headed towards a city
Or a small village
Anyway that place will always have
An unremarkable girl just like me

I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Her worries are waiting for me
I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Her worries are waiting for me

Title: 土豆
Artist: 万晓利

Translation: https://www.notion.so/d59065e5f81242eaa3994f5b9628e28a

Chinese lyrics

既然土豆的成份
主要就是些淀粉
那就不应该拿它
去和菠菜比什么维生素A

可以用它和辣椒炒
一盘醋溜土豆丝
又香又辣又鲜又脆
直接可以当做主食

它也含维生素A
硫胺素比菠菜多
放很长时间 也不腐烂

既然夏天就是个
又闷又热的季节
那就不应该拿它
去和冬天比谁凉快

可以在中午最热的 时候出去遛遛
又晒又出汗又排毒又活血
不用再花钱去蒸桑拿

也运动了,也散心了
周围的环境也摸清了
也运动了,也散心了
周围的环境也摸清了

既然孩子要长大
你挡也挡不住
那就不应该对他
像对待一只哈巴狗

让他误以为这世界
既清凉又暖和
到头来却像把一只青蛙
按进冷水锅再慢慢加热

火越烧越旺,水越来越烫
直到他渐渐失去知觉

既然我说我爱你
你还是不爱我
那就不如什么也不说
随便搭上一趟列车

管它前方是城市
还是个小村落
反正那里总会有个
像我一样不起眼的姑娘

在等着,在等着
她的烦恼在等着我
在等着,在等着
她的烦恼在等着我

Today is another time to drink and sing
A lot of friends are meeting for the first time
Even though you’ve just gotten to know each other, you’ll be saying goodbye again very soon
I hope it isn’t for forever
Even though Bitter Ghost can only offer the gift of a little music
We hope you can hear our warm regards

Time passes day by day
We still haven’t found ourselves
Together with music and beer
There’s us, and sometimes there’s you

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Sometimes feel that life isn’t fair enough
Music, beer, and you all
That’s the point of our existence in this moment

今天又是一个喝酒唱歌的时间
很多朋友都是第一次的见面
虽然是刚刚相识但是马上就要再说再见
我希望那不是永远
虽然苦鬼带来的礼物只是小小一点音乐
我们的心意希望你能听见

时间一天一天在过去
我们还是没找到自己
和音乐和啤酒在一起
有我们,有时候还有你

有时快乐,有时伤感
有时感觉生活不够公平
音乐,啤酒,还有你们
就是我们此刻存在的意义

Tonight we’re gonna relax
Go to the underground pub, entire body is carefree
Men and women drinking, dancing, singing
There’s black, white, yellow, and green, like a United Nations

Rock ‘n’ roll, one song after another
Rocking to the point where no one knows what day it is
Smoke wafts everywhere, nonstop joyous laughter
Can hear Chinese, English, French, German, as well as Spanish

The TVs on the walls are all showing MTV
Sometimes the DJ will play some cool songs
Because music is a wondrous kind of thing
It’ll make you cry, laugh, dance, scream til you’re old

The bigger and packed the crowd is, the more exciting
Scan front and back, left and right, up and down, it’s a happy scene
All night slowly indulging to your heart’s content
Who cares if you’re sitting, standing, leaning, lying down, or floating

This world is so wonderful
Life is good, so many sensations
This world is so wonderful
Having money is good, don’t lack for anything

Tonight we’re gonna relax
Go to the underground pub, entire body is carefree
Men and women drinking, dancing, singing
There’s black, white, yellow, and green, like a United Nations

This world is so wonderful
Having money is good, don’t lack for anything

今天晚上我们要来轻松
走到那地下室的pub,全身都舒畅
男男女女喝酒跳舞唱歌
有黑的白的黄的绿的,像个联合国

Rock 'n' roll 一首接一首
摇得所有人都忘了今夕是何夕
烟雾迷漫,欢笑声不断
有中文英文法文德文还有西班牙文

墙上电视都是MTV
有时候DJ常会放些屌的歌来听
因为音乐是种奇妙的东西
会让你又哭又笑又跳又叫high到老

总是人多拥挤越兴奋
放眼前后左右上下一幅愉悦景象
长夜漫漫尽情地放纵
谁管你坐着站着趴着躺着或是在飘着

这个世界真是多美好
活着真好,感觉真不少
这个世界真是多美好
有钱真好,什么都不少

今天晚上我们要来轻松
走到那地下室的pub,全身都舒畅
男男女女喝酒跳舞唱歌
有黑的白的黄的绿的像个联合国

活着真好,感觉真不少

Sun hasn’t risen yet, I open my eyes
Good morning, it’s now 6 AM
Change clothes, brush teeth, wash face, put on eyeliner
But forgot to eat breakfast

With great effort
Caught this subway train
After getting off the train
Realize that I’ve almost been squished into meat stuffing
Look down and check my wristwatch
I won’t be late
But must still add a little speed
Jog for a little while
Get through today, there’s no difference from yesterday

I would like to
Get home a bit earlier
To be not too tired
Stroke my guitar strings for a bit
Who could guess
After eating dinner it’s already 9
I want to jog 2 laps
To destroy my love handles

They say
You’d best do this and that
It should be like this and that
Go with the flow all the way to the end
But I don’t want to be facing life and saying sorry
Dadadida dadada
Saying sorry, didada dididi
Saying sorry

天还没亮,我睁开双眼
早晨好,现在是上午的六点
换衣服,刷刷牙,洗洗脸,画了眼线
却忘了吃早点

好不容易
赶上了 这趟地铁
下车后
发现自己 快被挤成肉馅
低头看了 一下手表
还不会迟到
但还是要 加快速度
来一段小跑
过了今天 和昨天没差别

我想要
到家能够早些
没有太多疲倦
拨一拨我吉他弦
谁知道
吃完饭已九点
我想慢跑两圈
消灭我的游泳圈

他们说
你最该是怎样
就应该是怎样
顺其自然到终点
可我不想 对着生活 说着抱歉
哒哒滴哒 哒啦哒
说着抱歉 滴哒哒 滴滴滴
说着抱歉

Dark clouds piled high in the sky
Groups of people walking blindly
Cling to momentary bursts of joy
Fill the void inside the heart
Use an invisible web
To link the world
Be consoled, be addicted

Flattering and fawning words
They always like to vie for social dominance
An environment where morals decline by the day
Corroding young souls

Sensationalist news
Blind adoration
False and exaggerated data
To manufacture topics
Manufacture topics

I’ve become a bird in a cage
Shed all the pride I once had
Saying things I don’t believe
Spare no effort to win their favor

Without realizing it I’ve become lonely and forlorn
Lonely and forlorn
But I’m powerless, hard to struggle free
This cage with an iron lock, an endless black hole

Please release me
Please discard me
Please kill me, dear master
Grant me my freedom
Please let me escape
Break free from this cage
Escape from this black hole

Please release me
Please discard me
Please kill me
Dear master

Please forgive me
Please guide me
Please help me attain my goal
Most beloved intimate

Smile
Kill me
Devour me

Dark clouds piled high in the sky
Groups of people walking blindly
Cling to momentary bursts of joy
Fill the void inside the heart

Chinese lyrics

乌云堆积的天空
盲目行走的人群
贪恋片刻的欢愉
填补内心的空虚
用一张无形的网
连接世界
慰藉,沉迷

阿谀奉承的话语
他们总喜欢相互攀比
世风日下的环境
侵蚀着幼小的心灵

哗众取宠的新闻
盲目崇拜
虚假夸张的数据
来制造话题
制造话题

我成为了笼中鸟
卸下往日所有的骄傲
说着违心的话语
极力讨好他们欢心

不知不觉我变得
孤寂落寞
却无能为力,难以挣脱
这铁锁牢笼,无尽的黑洞

请放过我吧
请丢弃我吧
请杀死我吧,亲爱的主人
赐予我自由吧
请让我逃离吧
挣脱这座牢笼
逃离这黑洞

请放过我吧
请丢弃我吧
请杀死我吧
亲爱的主人

请原谅我吧
请指引我吧
请成全我吧
至爱的亲人

微笑
杀死我吧
吞食我吧

乌云堆积的天空
盲目行走的人群
贪恋片刻的欢愉
填补内心的空虚

Set the time forward one hour, because summer has arrived
Set the time back one hour, because summer has gone
But afterwards, why did we stop doing it?
You ask me, how the heck would I know
Set the time forward one hour, I can sleep earlier
Set the time back one hour, I should wear thicker clothes
But afterwards, why did we stop doing it?
You ask me, how the heck would I know

No air conditioner, no cell phone, no DVD
At that time I had no idea what land ownership was
Summer rain falls on my chest
Mama says don’t catch a cold, run back home to study
Didn’t understand being poor, didn’t understand the ways of the world, didn’t understand love
At that time the friends by my side were everything
So-called dreams, anyway it’s not what I do for a living
Seems like I lost myself while living life

Set the time forward one hour, because summer has arrived
Set the time back one hour, because summer has gone
But afterwards, why did we stop doing it?
You ask me, how the heck would I know
Set the time forward one hour, I can sleep earlier
Set the time back one hour, I should wear thicker clothes
But afterwards, why did we stop doing it?
You ask me, how the heck would I know

From one side it looks like a ridge, from another side it looks like a peak, distance and height are all different
Cannot see the true face of Mt Lu, because I’m standing on the mountain
From one side it looks like a ridge, from another side it looks like a peak, distance and height are all different
Cannot see the true face of Mt Lu, because I’m standing on the mountain

Set the time forward one hour, because summer has arrived
Set the time back one hour, because summer has gone
But afterwards, why did we stop doing it?
You ask me, how the heck would I know
Set the time forward one hour, I can sleep earlier
Set the time back one hour, I should wear thicker clothes

You ask me, how the heck would I know

Chinese lyrics

把时间调快一小时,因为夏天到了
把时间调慢一小时,因为夏天走了
可是这事儿,后来为什么不弄了
你问我,我哪儿知道啊
把时间调快一小时,我可以早睡啦
把时间调慢一小时,该添厚衣服啦
可是这事儿,后来为什么不弄了
你问我,我哪儿知道啊

没有空调,没有手机,没DVD
那时候 根本不知道房产是什么东西
夏天的雨打在我胸口
妈妈说别感冒了,快回家复习
不懂没钱,不懂世故,不懂爱情
那时候 身边儿的朋友就是我的唯一
所谓梦想 反正不是现在这行儿
好像活着活着 就活没了自己

把时间调快一小时,因为夏天到了
把时间调慢一小时,因为夏天走了
可是这事儿,后来为什么不弄了
你问我,我哪儿知道啊
把时间调快一小时,我可以早睡啦
把时间调慢一小时,该添厚衣服啦
可是这事儿,后来为什么不弄了
你问我,我哪儿知道啊

横看成岭侧成峰,远近高低各不同
不识庐山真面目,只缘身在此山中
横看成岭侧成峰,远近高低各不同
不识庐山真面目,只缘身在此山中

把时间调快一小时,因为夏天到了
把时间调慢一小时,因为夏天走了
可是这事儿,后来为什么不弄了
你问我,我哪儿知道啊
把时间调快一小时,我可以早睡啦
把时间调慢一小时,该添厚衣服啦
可是这事儿,后来为什么不弄了
你问我,我哪儿知道啊

Have you already forgotten me?
I quietly left from the deep recesses of your memory
We’ve both changed our numbers
Perhaps we’ve lost touch

Actually it’s a been a really really long time since
I picked up the phone to call you
It’s just that I occasionally think of
The years we spent together

Underneath that tree where we buried the glass bottle
The hidden secret that I very much want to tell you
Actually I’ve wanted to write a letter this whole time
Don’t know where to mail it to

I’m walking by myself on the street
There’s a familiar silhouette
Want to approach but I can’t be sure
In an instant it disappears from my vision

How many people like you will I encounter in this lifetime?
Neither close nor distant, stars in the night sky
If some day I run into you on some corner
I’ll embrace you

Lalala…

After many years I returned to the tree
Unfortunately, things were already completely changed

Chinese lyrics

你是否已忘记了我
悄悄离去 从记忆深处
彼此都换了号码
我们或许失去了联系

其实我也好久好久
没拿起电话要打给你
只是偶尔还会想起
与你共同度过的年纪

那一棵树下我们埋的玻璃瓶
藏的秘密 好想告诉你
其实我一直都想写封信
不知道 要寄去哪里

我独自在街上走着
有一个熟悉背影
想上前又不敢确定
一转眼又消失在视野里

一生会遇到多少个这样的你
若即若离,夜空的星
如果某一天在某个路口相遇
我会拥抱你

Lalala…

过了多少年我又回到了树下
只可惜,已今非昔比

I guess you won’t be coming back tonight either
Time starts to get slower and slower
Got on the train going in the opposite direction of your home
Going towards a dark night that I'm not familiar with

Don’t fear the dark
When alone, embrace the darkness
Maybe I’ll
Look back fondly on the beautiful purity of blooming love
No matter how dark the night, at least loneliness will keep me company
Don’t fear the dark, maybe what I fear is not being able to see

Just treat it as you playing a small prank
Can’t bear to turn off this light
Perfume has left an impression on the unoccupied pillow
Reminds me I should’ve rehearsed being lonely long ago

Don’t fear the dark
When alone, embrace the darkness
Maybe I’ll
Look back fondly on the beautiful purity of blooming love
No matter how dark the night, don't want to fool myself into thinking it can console me
Don’t fear the dark, maybe what I fear is not being able to see

Close my eyes, as if I could instantly learn
Don’t fear the dark, I'd rather cry while thinking of you

Chinese lyrics

我猜你今晚又不会回来
时间也开始越走越慢
搭上往你家的反方向列车
驶向我所不知的夜深

别怕黑
一个人的时候就拥抱夜
也许会
怀念爱情当初美的纯粹
夜再黑,至少有寂寞能相陪
别怕黑,或许怕的是看不见

就当作是你开的小小玩笑
这一盏灯舍不得关掉
香水还在空枕上残留了肤触
提醒我早该练习孤独

别怕黑
一个人的时候就拥抱夜
也许会
怀念爱情当初美的纯粹
夜再黑,不想用至少来安慰
别怕黑,或许怕的是看不见

闭上眼,难道就能瞬间学会
别怕黑,我宁愿想着你流泪

Small town builds a pedestrian bridge
To residents accustomed to not having a crosswalk
A road that can be crossed in 2 seconds
Why must one ascend stairs that take dozens of steps
Walk down a corridor of more than 10 meters
Then choose an exit
Descend down a spiral staircase to the other side of the street
That really wastes time
Wastes physical energy, wastes emotions
Wastes youth, wastes ink
Wastes natural gas, wastes renminbi
Wastes food, wastes public resources

Very small pedestrian bridge
Was meant to let people stand even
A little bit high high high high high high higher
But in actuality a very small pedestrian bridge just makes
A very small town even smaller
Even smaller even smaller, really quite small
Just as small as a pea
Even a nearsighted person with a magnifying glass couldn’t see it
Oh
Even a nearsighted person with a magnifying glass couldn’t see it
Oh
Even a nearsighted person with a magnifying glass couldn’t see it
Ah
Even a nearsighted person with a magnifying glass couldn’t see it
Impossible
Even a nearsighted person with a magnifying glass couldn’t see it

Therefore (the residents who are) unpretentious, ordinary, hard-working, benevolent
Loving their hometown
Sometimes prone to taking small advantages
Never step onto it
As always, they live in the busy
Giant stream of people
Wake up, have breakfast, go to work
Eat lunch, take a siesta
Wake up, play cards, play Dou dizhu
Get off work, pick up kids from school
Eat dinner, go for a stroll and dancing
Greet acquaintances
Go back home, wash face, wash feet, rinse mouth
Go to bed and speak quietly for a while

Title: 小镇天桥
Artist: 张若水

Translation: https://www.notion.so/73b242dcbe1c4df3b5ea2bc227a4ead7

Chinese lyrics

小城镇修起了天桥
对于习惯了 没有斑马线的居民们来说
两秒钟就可以穿过的马路
何必要先登上几十步台阶
走过十多米走廊
再选择一个出口
沿着螺旋梯下到街对面
那多浪费时间
浪费体力,浪费感情
浪费青春,浪费墨水
浪费天然气,浪费人民币
浪费粮食,浪费公共资源

小小的天桥
本可以让人们站得再
高高高高高高高高一点
但实际上小小的天桥只会让
小小的城镇更小
更小更小,真的好小
只有豌豆儿那么小
近视眼儿用放大镜都看不到
哦吼
近视眼儿用放大镜都看不到
哦吼
近视眼儿用放大镜都看不到

近视眼儿用放大镜都看不到
不可能
近视眼儿用放大镜都看不到

所以朴实,平凡,勤劳,善良
热爱家乡
有时候爱贪点小便宜的居民们
从不登上去
依旧生活在忙碌的
巨大人流之中
起来,早饭,上班
午饭,午觉
起来,打牌,抢地主
下班,接小娃儿放学
晚饭,再去散步和跳舞
跟熟人打个招呼
再回家,洗脸,洗脚,漱口
上床说会儿悄悄话

Draw some moonlight for the lonely night sky
Draw myself singing under the moonlight
Draw a large window on the empty house
Also draw a bed

Draw a girl to keep me company
And draw an embroidered quilt
Draw a stove and firewood
We live together

Draw a flock of birds flying around me
Draw green ridges and blue slopes
Draw tranquility and prosperity
Rain droplets drift down over rice paddies

Draw a rainbow you can touch with your hands
The drawing has a starry sky that I decided not to extinguish
Draw an endless, winding, level path
At the end (of the path), we are dreaming

Draw mother in a serene pose
And conflicts that can be wiped away using an eraser
Draw food that is available in all four seasons
A carefree person has no worries

I don’t have an eraser to wipe away arguments
Just a pen for drawing loneliness
The moon in that night sky isn’t shining anymore
There’s just a melancholy child singing
Draw some moonlight for the lonely night sky

为寂寞的夜空画上一个月亮
把我画在那月亮的下面歌唱
为冷清的房子画上一扇大窗
再画上一张床

画一个姑娘陪着我
再画个花边的被窝
画上灶炉与柴火
我们一起生来一起活

画一群鸟儿围着我
再画上绿岭和青坡
画上宁静与祥和
雨点儿在稻田上飘落

画上有你能用手触到的彩虹
画中有我决定不灭的星空
画上弯曲无尽平坦的小路
尽头的人家梦已入

画上母亲安详的姿势
还有橡皮能擦去的争执
画上四季都不愁的粮食
悠闲的人从没心事

我没有擦去争吵的橡皮
只有一只画着孤独的笔
那夜空的月也不再亮
只有个忧郁的孩子在唱
为寂寞的夜空画上一个月亮

The only home underneath the pedestrian bridge
He speaks to himself
Why does no one admire his paintings?
Old paintings that were once soaked by rain
Keeping him company in his struggle
His only assets are the sand in his shoes

Old French painter
Painting the one he loves
His tears are punishing him but he doesn’t wipe them
Waits for her to come home, come home
Old French painter
His hands are clenching a cross
Just wants to return to 1968 to embrace her

How can he forget her?
Who once wore a snow-white wedding dress for the sake of love
Recalling the words once said under the Eiffel Tower

Old French painter
Painting the one he loves
His tears are punishing him but he doesn’t wipe them
Waits for her to come home, come home
Old French painter
His hands are clenching a cross
Just wants to return to 1968 to embrace her

Old French painter

等她回家,回家

曾经为爱穿上雪白色的婚纱
回忆着巴黎铁塔下曾说的话

Wind blows through trees full of leaves
Swaying, swaying
By the river, frogs leap
Between the grasses, crickets chirp
The moon is curved

Curved like a baby’s eyes
Laugh, laugh
Layers and layers of clouds
Like an umbrella being held up
Stars wink

Scarecrow’s general store has closed for the day
Sparrows, sparrows go home now
Tiny wings, pulling on the wind
Don’t be afraid
Wind chimes on the window can talk
Baby is laying their head on a camellia couch
Mama softly sings while her hand pushes the cradle

Sway, sway, sway to grandma’s house
Grandma sews a doudou (undergarment covering chest and abdomen) for the baby
Sway, sway, sway beneath the willow tree
Kitty curls up its tail and falls asleep

Sway, sway, sway to the wooden fence
On the fence grows a circle of morning glories
Sway, sway, sway to the grape trellis
Aiya, grapes are as big as the moon

Wind stops, moon is bright
Leaves cover the window lattice
Tiny crickets, crying ”zhengzheng”
Like the strings of an instrument

Sway, sway, sway to grandma’s house
Grandma sews a doudou (undergarment covering chest and abdomen) for the baby
Sway, sway, sway beneath the willow tree
Kitty curls up its tail and falls asleep

Sway, sway, sway to the wooden fence
On the fence grows a circle of morning glories
Sway, sway, sway to the grape trellis

Aiya, grapes are as big as the moon

Sway, sway, flowers bloom in dreams
Baby extends a hand to touch my cheek
Baby, baby, time is like a white horse
But I hope you won’t grow up
I really hope you don’t grow up

月儿弯呀

弯得像娃娃的眼睛
笑呀笑呀
云儿一层层
好像伞儿撑
星星眨呀

稻草人的杂货铺打烊啦
雀儿雀儿快回家
小翅膀啊,挽着风呀
别害怕
窗子上的风铃会说话
宝宝枕着茶花榻
娘的手儿摇着篮车轻轻唱啊

摇啊摇啊,摇到婆婆家
婆婆缝个兜兜给娃娃
摇啊摇啊,摇到柳树下
小猫卷着尾巴睡着啦

摇啊摇啊,摇到木篱笆
篱笆开满一圈儿牵牛花
摇啊摇啊,摇到葡萄架
哎呀,葡萄月亮一般大

风儿停,月儿明
树叶儿遮窗棂啊
小蛐蛐 叫铮铮
好像那琴弦声

摇啊摇啊,摇到婆婆家
婆婆缝个兜兜给娃娃
摇啊摇啊,摇到柳树下
小猫卷着尾巴睡着啦

摇啊摇啊,摇到木篱笆

摇啊摇,梦里开着花
娃娃伸手摸着我脸颊
娃娃呀 娃娃,时间像白马
我却希望你长不大
我好希望你长不大

Wednesday, second class of the day
A beautiful silhouette enters
She’s not Teacher Liu
Teacher Liu is sick

Her family name is Wang, she tells us
She’s our substitute teacher for the day
Her voice is very pleasant
She’s almost the same age as me

Miss Wang, I love you
I answer all of your questions
I haven’t yet experienced love
I’m not from around here

Miss Wang, I love you
These past days you’ve been in my dreams
Coming and going
Close my eyes, see you everywhere

Next Wednesday, second class of the day
Will Teacher Liu take a rest?
I know it’s not possible
Just want to see you

You're just like my sister
I often write to her
Want to think of you as her
Not logical at all

Miss Wang, I love you
When will you come to my class again
To answer your 100 questions
I’ll study hard
Miss Wang, I love you
Are you also not from around here?
People who left home don’t have it easy, have to rely on themselves

星期三的第二堂课
走进一个美丽的身影
她不是刘老师
刘老师病了

她姓王,她对我们说
今天她给我们代课
她说话很好听
年龄和我差不多

王老师,我爱你
回答你提的所有问题
我还没接触过爱情
我的家在外地

王老师,我爱你
这些天你在我的梦里
走来走去
闭上双眼,到处是你

下星期三的第二堂课
刘老师会不会休息
我知道不可能
只是想见你

你就像我姐姐一样
我经常写信给她
想把你看成她
不合逻辑

王老师,我爱你
你何时再来我的班里
为了你的一百个问题
我要好好学习
王老师,我爱你
你的家是否也在外地
离家的人 活着不易,全靠自己

Every day at 7 I wake up, semi-consciously I exit the dorm
No time to eat breakfast, because I have to go attend those stupid classes
Listen to these college professors, expressionlessly reading from the textbook
I lower my head and I’m also looking at my phone, without realizing it I enter dreamland

Sun is in the sky shining on the school, I’m carrying a bookbag filled with explosives
A flower finds out and smiles at me, a small bird says I’m badass
Fellow students aren’t worthless, tell me who’s worthless
You make me sit in the classroom, if I don’t show up you deduct points, this is how China’s colleges are

Basically, if you don’t attend class you fail it, if you fail it you have to retake it
If you retake it you gotta fucking pay up, a single class costs more than 200
You ask him what’s the point, what I’m learning is useless
He said you should just resign yourself, this is how China’s colleges are

Classmate Xiaohua, classmate Xiaohua
Your ideological stance is utterly wrongheaded
Classmate Xiaohua, classmate Xiaohua
Just go home already, just stop coming to study

When I was young
My family had 6 members
Brothers and sisters
I was the youngest

Papa was handsome
Mama was young and pretty
Energetic workers
Kind characters

After the Cultural Revolution
There were 5 left
Papa was falsely charged
Left us early

Mama was helpless
Remarried to another place
Brothers and sisters
Went to the mountains to work in the countryside

From that time on
My family was basically split apart
Brothers and sisters
East west south north

Every holiday
Just well wishes from afar
Well wishes from afar
Well wishes from afar

Many years later
Look back once more
Brothers and sisters
Don’t need to be consoled

We all remember
Papa wants us to be sincere
And also kind
Never change

We remember
Mama wants us to be resolute
And also happy
Even today

We are singing
Papa and mama’s
Favorite song
Resolute, happy
Kind, sincere

I know very little about your life
As a child you carried a canvas bookbag to school
Your father told you to work hard
More than half of your life, plain tea, cloth shoes, food coupons

Town gate, town gate, how high is it?
Town gate, town gate, how high is it?
Town gate, town gate, how high is it?
How high is it?

I know very little about your life
From the first time I saw you, you were very very old
How come time runs faster than the first-place runner?
In a flash your teeth all start to fall out

Please gift me a clock that turns in reverse
How great it would be for you to tell me the stories within your wrinkles
I’ll come with you to grow flowers, fish, stroll, feed birds
How great it would be for you to hold my child

Please gift me a clock that turns in reverse
How great it would be to return to the stories within your wrinkles
Go with you back to your hometown, even if it’s far away
Let me know about your life, OK?
Town gate, town gate, how high is it?

从第一次见你,你就好老好老
怎么时光比第一名还能跑
一晃神你的牙都开始掉

请赐予我一块倒着拨的钟表
给我讲讲你皱纹里的故事多好
陪你养花钓鱼 散步喂鸟
让你抱抱我的小孩该多好

请赐予我一块倒着拨的钟表
让我回到你皱纹的故事多好
陪你回趟家乡,哪怕迢迢
让我知道你的一生,好不好

You looked at me for a long time
In your eyes, I can see
You want me to bring you along
I looked at you for a long time
Afraid that on the way there, you’ll
Plead

Every time I go out
You wait for me a long time
As soon as the car pulls up downstairs
You watch for me a long time
All my worries
Are carried away by your tail
Waved away in the wind

I looked at it a long time
Your favorite window
Sunlight shines on your spot
At this time you‘re at the door
Always hoping I’ll take you out for
A walk

I’m still not used to
You not being behind the door
Give my first greeting upon coming home
I still like it
When you nudge me with your head

You just don’t know how to say it
You understand everything about me
You just don’t know how to say it
Inside your heart, there’s only me
You just don’t know how to say it
Inside your heart, there’s only me

Chinese lyrics

你看了我好久
眼神中透露着
要我带你走
我看了你好久
怕你会在那条路上
哀求

每次一出门
你等我好久
车刚到楼下
你守我好久
所有的忧愁
被尾巴带走
摇散在风中

我看了那好久
你最爱的窗口
阳光照着你的窝
每当这时候你在门口
总希望我带你出门
遛遛

我还不习惯
你不在门后
给我回家第一个问候
我还是喜欢
你用头碰碰我

你只是不会说
我的所有你都懂
你只是不会说
你的心里只有我
你只是不会说
你的心里只有我

Right at 9, the last alarm sounds
Lazily and dazedly extend my back, half awake, half asleep
She’s in a rush, afraid of being late
I accidentally pee in her shoe

I mistakenly think this habit is a sort of mutual understanding
But she gives me a bitter melon face, very angry
Oh a dog’s mission
I still don’t understand it’s meaning

Want to sleep, want to eat my fill
But still have to continue pondering
Why my master
Is not accepting my ingratiation anymore

Is there some kind of medicine
Swallow it whole
And I can share her struggles
I really really want to see her smile
And in passing tell her
Today I didn’t cause a scene

Jiu ba li du lu jiu ba li du
Want to open my mouth but I can’t say anything
Jiu ba li du lu jiu ba li du
No time to do cheap tricks for you

Jiu ba li du lu jiu ba li du
Go out into the world and look around
Don't dodge or hide
If you’re not satisfied, dress like a person and live like a dog

Like to sniff morning flower scent
Like to observe every day’s sunset
This is what I’m like
Don’t unrealistically expect any more human characteristics

But day after day passes
She’s step by step
Discovering her dream
And time passes unwaveringly second by second
The clock hand ticks heavily on my heart

Jiu ba li du lu jiu ba li du
Want to open my mouth but I can’t say anything
Jiu ba li du lu jiu ba li du
Don't want to do cheap tricks for you

Jiu ba li du lu jiu ba li du lu
Go out into the world and look around
Don't dodge or hide
If you’re not satisfied, dress like a person and live like a dog

Title: 一条狗的使命

Chinese lyrics

九点整最后闹钟响起
伸个懒腰迷迷糊糊,半梦半醒
她慌慌张张,怕来不及
我一不小心尿进她的鞋里

我以为这习惯是种默契
她却给我一张苦瓜脸,好生气
喔一条狗的使命
我大概还不懂得它的意义

想睡觉,想吃饱
但又不得不继续思考
主人因为什么
不再接受我的讨好

有没有一种药
一口吞下
可以分担她的苦恼
我很想很想看她笑
顺带告诉她
今天我没有哭闹

噈叭哩嘟噜噈叭哩嘟
想开口却又讲不来话
噈叭哩嘟噜噈叭哩嘟
没空跟你玩什么烂把戏呀

噈叭哩嘟噜噈叭哩嘟
去外面的世界看一看
你别躲也别藏
不甘心穿得人模活得狗样

喜欢闻早晨的花香
喜欢看每日的夕阳
我就是这样
不奢求更多人类的模样

但一天一天过去了
她也一步一步
发觉自己的梦呀
而时间一秒一秒不停留
指针在心底走得好沉重

噈叭哩嘟噜噈叭哩嘟
想开口却又讲不来话
噈叭哩嘟噜噈叭哩嘟
跟你玩什么烂把戏呀

噈叭哩嘟噜噈叭哩嘟噜
去外面的世界看一看
你别躲也别藏
不甘心穿得人模活得狗样

Don't need to turn the coil so tightly, treat passersby as scenery
Zoning out is the lesson of the day, getting lost is the goal of the moment
It’s been a good day, just let me chill
Let me face the other stuff when I wake up tomorrow
I’m gon have my way, I’m totally right, the farther my mind the better the experience

Rest a spell, let your body take a vacation
Find a coffeeshop to sit for a while
Rest a spell, bad weather’s no biggie
Pretend not to notice, don’t let your mood be hijacked

No need to fight on the weekend, please don’t persist in going against the flow
Heart beats in time with the rhythm in my headphones, getting lost is the goal of the moment yeah
It’s been a good day, just let me chill
Let me face the other stuff when I wake up tomorrow
I’m gon have my way, I’m totally right, the farther my mind the better the experience

Rest a spell, let your body take a vacation
Find a coffeeshop to sit for a while
Rest a spell, bad weather’s no biggie
Pretend not to notice, don’t let your mood be hijacked

It’s been a good day, just let me chill
Let me face the other stuff when I wake up tomorrow
I’m gon have my way, I’m totally right, the farther my mind the better the experience
Rest a spell, let your body take a vacation
Find a coffeeshop to sit for a while
Rest a spell, bad weather’s no biggie
Pretend not to notice, don’t let your mood be hijacked

I'm gon have my way
Today was a good day

Chinese lyrics

发条不用拴紧,把路人当做一种风景
放空是今天的课题,迷路是现在的目的
It's been a good day,就让我耍废
其他事 明天起床面对
I'm gon have my way,我说的就对,心越远 我就 能够体会

小歇一下,让身体放假
找个 咖啡店坐一下
小歇一下,坏天气没差
装个傻,别让心情绑架

周末不需要战斗,反拍生活请不要执着
心跳跟着耳机节奏,迷路是现在的目的 yeah
It's been a good day,就让我耍废
其他事 明天起床面对
I'm gon have my way,我说的就对,心越远 我就 能够体会

小歇一下,让身体放假
找个 咖啡店坐一下
小歇一下,坏天气没差
装个傻,别让心情绑架

It's been a good day,就让我耍废
其他事 明天起床面对
I'm gon have my way,我说的就对,心越远 我就 能够体会
小歇一下,让身体放假
找个 咖啡店坐一下
小歇一下,坏天气没差
装个傻,别让心情绑架

I'm gon have my way
Today was a good day

Before afternoon
Is sleepy time
I’m by the innermost bookshelf
Dozing off, staring at the sky

Before afternoon
Is a time of one’s own
I’m in the corner smoking
Blow out mist, 2 to 3 rings

Look, look, look, look
Noon clouds drift slowly
Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly
When will they obscure the brilliant sunlight?

Before afternoon
Is a time of freedom
I’m at a lake with no people
Singing how fresh is the sunlight

Before afternoon
Is a time for dreaming
Clouds can’t hide the autumn warmth
Who’s smiling sweetly in their dream?

Listen, listen, listen, listen
Who’s been singing the whole time?
Softly, softly, softly, softly
As if the autumn day was chirping in your ear

Look, look, look, look
Noon clouds drift slowly
Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly
When will they obscure the brilliant sunlight?
Listen, listen, listen, listen
Who’s been singing the whole time?
Softly, softly
As if the autumn day was chirping in your ear

Before afternoon
Is the mellowest time
Suddenly everything
Fades into pre-afternoon

Chinese lyrics

午后以前
属于困倦的时间
我在书架的最里面
打着瞌睡望着天

午后以前
属于自己的时间
我在角落里抽着烟
吹起云雾两三圈

你看,你看,你看,你看
正午云儿走得缓
好慢,好慢,好慢,好慢
何时遮住日光灿

午后以前
属于自由的时间
我在没有人的湖边
唱着日光好新鲜

午后以前
属于做梦的时间
云也藏不住秋意暖
谁在梦里笑得甜

你听,你听,你听,你听
谁的歌儿唱不停
好轻,好轻,好轻,好轻
像是秋日耳边鸣

你看,你看,你看,你看
正午云儿走得缓
好慢,好慢,好慢,好慢
何时遮住日光灿
你听,你听,你听,你听
谁的歌儿唱不停
好轻 好轻
像是秋日耳边鸣

午后 以前
是最慵懒的时间
突然间 一切都
消散在下午以前
