赶著下班的计程车
A taxi rushing to finish its shift,
一啸而过
Whizzes past with a whistle.
下班后不想回家的我
Me, not wanting to go home after work,
谁要理我?
Who even cares about me?
很多年之前 我问
Many years ago, I asked,
朋友来陪我 有谁来爱我?
Who among my friends will come to keep me company, who will love me?
买醉的时候 你认识我
When I was lost in drink, you got to know me,
最后还一起生活
In the end, we lived together.
为怕寂寞 我们做了很多
To fear loneliness, we've done so much,
最没空寂寞
The least busy with loneliness.
偶遇你之后 我说
After I met you, I said,
想有人爱我 就有人爱我
I want someone to love me, and then someone loves me.
可是我
But I
不知道想要什么
Don't know what I want.
不知道拥有什么
Don't know what I have.
可能我们都寂寞
Perhaps we are both lonely.
迎面一个老尼姑走过
A nun walks by, right in front of me,
把路灯看破
Seeing through the streetlight.
有你在家里苦等的我
Is it really better for me, waiting at home for you,
难道比她幸福的多?
Than her happiness?
现在不想下班的我
Right now, I don’t want to clock out
没爱好难过 有爱算什么?
Without love, there's sorrow; having love, what does it mean?
我恨我
I hate myself
我不知道想要什么
I don't know what I want
我不知道拥有什么
I don't know what I possess
可能我们都寂寞
Perhaps we're all lonely
走过马路的我说
As I cross the street, I say
一个人寂寞 两个人寂寞
One person lonely, two people lonely
可能我
Maybe it's me
我不知道拥有什么
I don't know what I possess
而我又缺少什么?
But what am I still missing?
我害怕什么?
What am I afraid of?
Ooh 怕什么?
Ooh, afraid of what?
我不知道爱算什么 yeah
I don't know what love really is, yeah
而我又算什么?
And what do I count as?
我们都寂寞
We're all lonely
