我们叫他阿怪
We call him A-Gwai
他说的最多的是拜拜
The most he says is goodbye
钱赚够了就离开
Once he's earned enough, he'll fly
直到不能够生活 他才回来
Only to return when life gets too dry
他常说 日子过得太快
He often says, time passes so fast
还没攀过乌拉山脉
Hasn't yet climbed the Ural Mountains at last
他有他未来
He has his own future,
我们学不来
Something we cannot pursue
阿怪在饭店长驻
A-Gwai's always at the hotel for a stay
永远都在准备云游四海
Forever preparing to roam and stray
一间房子可能不方便携带
A house may not be easy to carry along,
拿不走的 他都不会买
He won't buy what he can't take with him.
他常常说 日子过得太快
He often says life passes too quickly.
还没试过住在寒带
I've never tried living in the cold zones.
他有他未来
He has his own future.
我们都学不来 学不来
We can never learn, never learn.
阿怪他长的好帅
Oh, he's so handsome,
女人一见到他就发呆
Women gaze at him in a daze.
可从来没有听过他和某人谈恋爱
But I've never heard of him dating anyone.
也没有打算生个小孩
And he has no plans to have a child.
他常说 日子过得太快
He often says that days fly by too fast
还没亲眼见过鬼怪
Still haven't seen a ghost with my own eyes
这就是他未来
This is his future
我们学不来 我学不来
We can't learn it, I can't learn it
我们活在选择的年代
We live in an age of choices
选择电视 该看哪一台?
Choosing a TV, which channel to watch?
选择一个人 值不值得爱?
Choosing a person, is it worth the love?
选择离不开 选择生小孩
Choosing to stay, choosing to have kids
我们很努力活得精彩
We work hard to live vividly
好让看起来活得精彩
So that it seems we live life to the fullest
我们自由自在 选择著未来
We are free and easy, choosing our own future
我们选择 选择不做阿怪
We choose, choose not to be strange
他常常说 生活不能安排
He often says life can't be arranged
还说 不能按理出牌
And says we can't play by the rules
他有他未来
He has his own future
我们学不来 我学不来
We can't learn it, I can't learn it
学不来 谁学得来?
Can't learn it, who can learn it?
他说时间好快
He says time flies so fast
还没试过亲身种小麦 (学不来)
Haven't even tried to personally grow wheat (can't learn it)
阿怪说时间好快
The strange one says time flies so fast
来不及到北极看苔原带 (学不来)
Can't make it to the Arctic to see the tundra's embrace (Can't learn it)
阿怪说时间好快
Ah, it's said that time flies so fast
来不及看一朵花怎么盛开 (学不来)
Can't make it to see a flower bloom in its grace (Can't learn it)
他真的 真的 真的好奇怪
He really, really, really is so strange
说没有时间谈个恋爱 (学不来)
Said there's no time to fall in love (Can't learn it)
Bye-bye
