我要从南走到北 我还要从白走到黑
I want to walk from the south to the north, I want to move from the white to the black.
我要人们都看到我 但不知道我是谁
I want everyone to see me, but not know who I am.
假如你看我有点累 就请你给我倒碗水
If you see I'm a bit tired, please pour me a bowl of water.
假如你已经爱上我 就请你吻我的嘴
If you have already fallen in love with me, then please kiss my lips.
我有这双脚 我有这双腿
I have these feet, I have these legs.
我有这千山和万水
I have these thousands of mountains and tens of thousands of rivers.
我要这所有的所有 但不要恨和悔
I want all of this and that, but no hate and no regrets.
要爱上我就别怕后悔
If you're going to love me, don't be afraid of regret.
总有一天我要远走高飞
One day I will soar high and far away.
我不想留在一个地方
I don’t want to stay in one place.
也不想有人跟随
I don't want anyone following me.
我要从南走到北 我还要从白走到黑
I want to walk from south to north, and I want to shift from white to black.
我要人们都看到我 但不知道我是谁
I want everyone to see me, but not know who I really am.
我只想看到你长得美 但不想知道你在受罪
I just want to see you looking beautiful, but don’t want to know your pain.
我想要得到天上的水 但不是你的泪
I want the water from the heavens, but not your tears.
我不愿相信真的有魔鬼 也不愿与任何人作对
I don't want to believe there are real devils, nor do I wish to oppose anyone.
你别想知道我到底是谁 也别想看到我的虚伪
Don't think you can find out who I really am, nor see my hypocrisy.
