马赛克(Mosaic)
Mosaic
白的是直线的快乐
The white is a straight line of joy
黑的是想念的泪痕 他心疼
The black marks are tears of longing, he feels the pain.
黄的是最初的青涩
The yellow is the first blush of innocence.
红的是心头的深刻 舍不得
Red are the depths of my heart, hard to let go.
一种人一种独特
A kind of person, a unique spark
他都不舍
He can't bear to part.
形形色色
Varied and diverse
粉墨蠢蠢欲动的眼神
The painted eyes are stirring with desire
五光十色太迷人
In dazzling colors, so enchanting
倒一季的花色 妆一身霓虹
Pouring a season of floral hues, dressing in neon glow,
还是输给他新粉刷的住客
Still losing to his freshly painted tenant,
自以为是的春色
Self-righteous springtime colors,
一转身成了模糊不清马赛克
A turn transforms into a blurry mosaic,
眼角是骄傲的金色
Corner of my eye shines with proud gold,
眉稍是神秘的紫色 诱惑人
Brows hold a mysterious purple, tempting allure,
指尖是热情的彩色
Fingertips vibrate with passionate colors,
红唇是温柔的粉色 好香的吻
Red lips, a gentle pink, such a fragrant kiss,
一种人一种独特
Every person carries their own uniqueness,
他都不舍
He can’t bear to let go.
形形色色
A kaleidoscope of forms,
又一次蠢蠢欲动的眼神
Once more, a restless glance.
努力拼贴各种色
Striving to patch together every hue,
染一头的渐层
Dyeing my hair in gradients,
拼一脸缤纷
Collaging a face of vibrant colors.
剪贴自己成他偏爱的风格
Cut and paste myself into his favored style,
镜子里的不对称
Asymmetry in the mirror,
自卑的反射
A reflection of self-doubt.
马赛克他的胡扯
Mosaic his nonsense,
清醒的咖啡烫舌
Waking up with coffee, burning my tongue.
彩绘的玫瑰褪色
The painted rose fades away
武装的色块掉了
The armed colors have fallen
努力拼贴各种色
Struggling to piece together various hues
染一头的渐层
Dyeing my hair in a gradient
拼一脸缤纷
Patching my face with vibrance
剪贴自己成他偏爱的风格
Collaging myself into his favorite style
不对称的旧房客
The asymmetrical old tenant
自卑的反射
A reflection of insecurity
马赛克他的胡扯
Mosaic of his nonsense
只落下透明的泪
Only transparent tears fall down
滑过这一片
Gliding through this expanse
滑稽的五颜六色
Comically colorful and bright
