聊生活方式
Chat about our way of life,
聊各种日子
Talk about the various days,
还有面包可以吃
And there’s still bread to eat.
别人的想法只是个想法
Others' thoughts are just mere thoughts,
有好有坯又笨又傻
With both good and bad, foolish and silly.
都是这么想这么想这么想
It's all just thoughts, thoughts, thoughts.
可以看起来不伟大却要善良
It may not seem grand, but kindness is key.
要尝过时间给过的挫败
You must taste the setbacks that time brings,
才能够变得坦然
Only then can you learn to be at ease.
都是这么想这么想这么想
It's all just thoughts, thoughts, thoughts.
可以微笑着自弹自唱
I can smile while playing and singing by myself
保持勇敢
Stay brave
也许有一天
Maybe one day
能遇上几个能说话的伴
I’ll meet a few companions who can talk
贫穷的
The poor
富有的
The rich

聊生活方式
Chat about ways of living
聊各种日子
Chat about all kinds of days
还有面包可以吃
And still have bread to eat
别人的想法只是个想法
Others' thoughts are just thoughts,
有好有坯又笨又傻
Some are good, some are bad, both foolish and naive.
都是这么想这么想这么想
Everyone thinks this way, thinks this way, thinks this way.
可以看起来不伟大却要善良
It may not look great, but one must be kind,
要尝过时间给过的挫败
You must taste the setbacks that time brings,
才能够变得坦然
Only then can you become at ease.
都是这么想这么想这么想
Everyone thinks this way, thinks this way, thinks this way.

How many friends can truly converse?
