白的是直线的快乐
White is the straight line of happiness
黑的是想念的泪痕～他心疼
Black is the tear stains of longing – he feels the pain
黄的是最初的景色
Yellow is the scenery of beginnings
红的是心头的深刻～舍不得
Red is the deep feeling in the heart – so hard to let go
一种人一种独特 他都不舍
Each kind of person, each unique essence, he can't bear to part with
形形色色 粉墨蠢蠢欲动的眼神
A myriad of colors, eyes eager and full of life
五光十色太迷人
Brilliantly colorful, so enchanting
倒一季的花色 妆一身的霓虹
Pouring a season of floral hues, adorning oneself with rainbows
还是输给他新粉刷的住客
Still losing to his freshly painted tenants
自以为是的春色
The self-important colors of spring
一转身成了模糊不清马赛克
A turn of the body becomes a blurry mosaic
眼角是骄傲的金色
The corners of the eyes are proud golden
眉稍是神秘的紫色～诱惑人
The brows are shrouded in mysterious purple~ so enticing
指尖是热情的彩色
Fingertips are passionate in vibrant colors
红唇是温柔的粉色～好香的吻
Red lips are soft pink~ such a fragrant kiss
一种人一种独特 他都不舍
Each person is unique, he can't let go
形形色色 又一次蠢蠢欲动的眼神
Diverse looks, once again the eager glimmer of the eyes
努力拼贴各种色
Piecing together various shades with effort
染一头的渐层 拼一脸缤纷
Dyeing hair in gradients, piecing together a colorful face
剪贴自己成他偏爱的风格
Shaping myself into the style he favors
镜子里的不对称
The asymmetry in the mirror
自卑的反射 马赛克他的胡扯
A reflection of insecurity, a mosaic of his nonsense
清醒的咖啡烫舌
Awake with coffee, burning the tongue
彩绘的玫瑰褪色
Faded painted rose
武装的色块掉了
Armed blocks of color have fallen
努力拼贴各种色
Struggling to piece together every hue
染一头的渐层 拼一脸缤纷
Dyeing my hair in gradients, crafting a colorful face
剪贴自己成他偏爱的风格
Cutting and pasting myself into his favored style
不对称的旧房客
The asymmetrical old tenant
自卑的反射 马赛克他的胡扯
A reflection of insecurity, a mosaic of his nonsense
只落下透明的泪
Only transparent tears fall down
滑过这一片 滑稽的五颜六色
Slipping through this absurd kaleidoscope
