想念像蚊子神出鬼没
Missing you like a phantom mosquito,
咬我一口 但我没喊痛
It bites me once, yet I don't cry out in pain.
走过地铁白烟 纽约寒冬
Walking through the subway's white smoke, in New York's cold winter,
走不过心中的黑洞
Can't escape the black hole inside my heart.
我呼吸 吸不到需要的热
I breathe, but can't draw the warmth I need.
沿路上飘来爵士老歌
Jazz oldies drift along the way,
老先生带着孩子等车
An old man waits for the bus with his child,
我在这
I'm right here,
零下几分钟把时光暂停了
Just a few minutes below zero, time has paused,
把找不到路的我给冰冻
Freezing this lost version of me.
这时间地点
This time and place
对于我这游客只等于寂寞
For me, a traveler, is just loneliness
可乐拌饭了几天以后
After mixing cola with rice for days
忘了住这旅馆第几周
I've forgotten which week I'm at this hotel
混乱的世界加一公克寂寞
In a chaotic world, adding a gram of loneliness
成就了最完美的心痛
Achieved the most perfect heartache
没关系 事情没那么严重
It's okay, things aren't that serious
不就是爱念了莫名的咒
Isn't it just love reciting a strange spell?
人的心脆弱得像个气球
The human heart is as fragile as a balloon
被狠狠戳破
Pierced and burst with a harsh poke
零下几分钟 时代广场之中
Minutes below zero, in Times Square's embrace
我数不清的记忆咆哮着
My countless memories roar and race
冷风加音乐是双倍的折磨
The cold wind and music, double the torture I face
享受的人是我
The one who enjoys is truly me, in this space
要或不要都没用
Want it or not, it doesn’t change the case
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Ho-oh
零下几分钟把时光暂停了
Minutes below zero, time gets frozen still
把找不到路的我给冰冻
I, lost and wandering, find no path, no thrill
这时间地点
This time, this place
对于我这游客只等于寂寞
For a traveler like me, it's just loneliness
零下几分钟 时代广场之中
A few minutes below zero, in the heart of Times Square
数不清的记忆咆哮着
Countless memories roaring
冷风加音乐
Cold wind with the music
天知道享受的是我
God knows it's me who's enjoying this
要或不要都没用
Wanting or not, it makes no difference
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
Ooh-hmm
