二三十 lyrics with English translation

邮递的工人儿科的医生

Postal workers, pediatric doctors,

几个开旅馆的人

A few people running motels,

园丁喝的茶理发师的话

The gardener's tea, the barber's words,

修鞋匠的家没想过伟大

The shoemaker's home, never thought of greatness,

二三十岁的人

Those in their twenties and thirties,

傍晚黄昏还等对的人

Waiting for the right one at dusk,

醉的好坯不分哭的大声

Drunk, unable to tell good from bad, crying loudly,

记录着青春

Documenting youth,

二三十岁的人

Those in their twenties and thirties,

奋不顾身微笑着成人

Fearless, smiling, stepping into adulthood.

回头看了看路程

Looking back at the journey we’ve traveled

航海去了哪主编爱的他

Setting sail, where has the editor of love gone?

还有个别作曲家

And there are still a few composers around

我们都很好没觉得无聊

We’re all doing well, feeling no boredom

天气那么好没想过会老

The weather’s so fine, never thought we’d grow old

二三十岁的人

Those in their twenties and thirties

傍晚黄昏还等对的人

In the twilight, still waiting for the right one

醉的好坯不分哭的大声

Drunk, it’s hard to tell good from bad, crying out loud

记录着青春

Recording our youth

二三十岁的人

Those in their twenties and thirties

奋不顾身微笑着成人

Fearlessly, I smile and embrace adulthood

回头看了看路程

I look back at the journey

有些快要想不起来的人吧

Some people I almost can't remember, right?

那些就是已经过去了的年华

Those are the years that have already passed

二三十岁的人

People in their twenties and thirties

傍晚黄昏还等对的人

In the evening twilight, still waiting for the right one

醉的好坯不分哭的大声

Drunk, unable to tell good from bad, crying out loud

记录着青春

Documenting our youth

二三十岁的人

People in their twenties and thirties

奋不顾身微笑着成人

Fearlessly, I smile and embrace adulthood

回头看了看路程

Looking back at the journey
