为何又困恼象个风铃
Why am I troubled like a wind chime?
再次踏上街头方向 未明
Taking to the street again, direction unclear.
为何象世界雨洒不停
Why does it feel like the world's rain keeps pouring?
堆积满山心头总有 事情
Mountains of thoughts pile up, there are always matters.
为何未看透我的表情
Why can't you see through my expression?
沟通仿佛失灵
Communication seems to have broken down.
望你今天快些应承
I hope you'll reply quickly today.
公开发表声明
Make a public statement.
知否对于感情
Do you understand about feelings?
一些规定不懂究竟
Some rules are confusing, I just don't know.
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in Beijing
不知命运是谁定
Unaware of who shapes my fate
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in Beijing
示爱不便说清
It's hard to express love clearly
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in Beijing
偏偏浪漫热情任性
Yet romance's passion runs wild and free
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in Beijing
没法一夜说清 一生背景
No way to explain it all in a night, life's background
为何在脑里象个幽灵
Why does it haunt me like a ghost in my mind?
每晚令我只能想到 黎明
Every night leaves me thinking only of dawn
为何象爱意没有收成
Why is it that love bears no harvest?
似有没有依然不觉 共鸣
It feels like there's still no resonance, unaware as ever.
为何未看透我的表情
Why can't you see through my expression?
沟通仿佛失灵
It seems communication has gone numb.
望你今天快些应承
I hope you'll agree more quickly today.
公开发表声明
Publicly declare your statement.
知否对于感情
Do you know about emotions?
一些规定不懂究竟
Some rules are unclear, no one really understands.
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in Beijing.
不知命运是谁定
Not sure who decides our fate.
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in beijing
示爱不便说清
Expressing love is hard to articulate
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in beijing
偏偏浪漫热情任性
Yet romance and passion go their own way
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in beijing
没法一夜说清
No way to clarify it in a single night
长路里 往日无尽散聚
On this long road, past moments scatter endlessly
能遇你 似是缘份注定
Meeting you seems like fate was meant to be
其实我 盼望停下脚步
In truth, I long to pause my steps
但谁未有决定
But who can truly make that choice
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in beijing
不知命运是谁定
Not knowing who decides fate
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in beijing
示爱不便说清
Expressing love isn't easy to explain
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in beijing
偏偏浪漫热情任性
Yet romance and passion are so wild and free
I i i was born in beijing
I i i was born in beijing
没法一夜说清 一生背景
No way to clarify in one night, a lifetime's background
