平静夜里天际没有星 城内极冷落 路人不起劲
In the calm night, there are no stars in the sky, the city feels so desolate, and passersby lack zest.
沿路没说话 怎么可叫妳倾听 AH...
Along the road, I said nothing, how could I ask you to listen, AH...
无聊地讲一串旧笑话 仍未令妳快乐 仍多牵挂
Boringly telling a string of old jokes still fails to bring you joy, and I can't help but worry.
然后妳在街的终点转身说 倦透了 回家吗
Then you turn at the end of the street and say, tired to the bone, shall we head home?
问雨为何在这夜 不可以快些倾斜 下降在沉闷午夜
I ask the rain why it can't tilt down quicker, descending in this oppressive midnight.
清洗心中的旷野 令这荡游伴侣 再躲入雨遮
Washing away the wilderness in my heart, leading this wandering companion to hide under the raincoat again.
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!
模拟电影主角造气氛 胡乱地发问 但全不吸引
Mimicking the movie protagonist to create an atmosphere, asking random questions, but none capture your interest.
呆立对望 怎么可叫妳兴奋 AH...
Standing still and gazing, how could I make you feel excited, AH...
（如流浪的心）无聊地讲一串旧笑话（风也似在取笑我没情话）仍未令妳快乐 仍多牵挂
(Like a wandering heart) Boredly tells an old joke (The wind seems to mock me for my lack of love) Still doesn’t bring you joy, still much to care for
然后妳在街的终点转身说 （闷局毫不变化）倦透了 回家吗
Then you turn at the end of the street and say (The dullness remains unchanged) Exhausted, should we go home?
问雨为何在这夜 不可以快些倾斜 下降在沉闷午夜
I ask the rain why, on this night, it can't tilt and fall sooner, descending into the dreary midnight
清洗心中的旷野 令这荡游伴侣 再躲入雨遮
Cleansing the wilderness in my heart, letting this wandering companion hide once more under the rain's shelter
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!
问雨为何在这夜 不可以快些倾斜 下降在沉闷午夜
I ask the rain why, on this night, it can't tilt and fall sooner, descending into the dreary midnight
清洗心中的旷野 令这荡游伴侣 再躲入雨遮
Cleansing the wilderness in my heart, letting this wandering companion hide once more under the rain's shelter
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!（步入雨遮）
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH! (Step into the rainshade)
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!（I LOVE YOU）
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!（靠近我一些）
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH! (Come a little closer to me)
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!（我盼望微雨探射）
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH! (I long for the soft rain to touch)
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!（I LOVE YOU）
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!（靠近我一些）
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH! (Come a little closer to me)
OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!
