有几片云的晴空
A few clouds in the clear sky
除了感动还有微风
Besides the emotion, there's also a gentle breeze
我的爱人走了很久
My lover has been gone for a long while
天气不热听着歌
The weather's not hot, listening to a song
几个背包一台旧车
A few backpacks and an old car
我的世界音量不多
The volume in my world isn’t loud
自拍的拍拍到世外
Selfies taken in a world beyond
自拍的拍拍到发呆
Selfies captured while I’m dazed
前面阳光正面照过来
The sunlight shines directly ahead
眼睛也不愿意睁开
My eyes don't even want to open
一生无非几个欢笑悲哀
Life is just a handful of joys and sorrows,
和爱你的女孩
And the girl who loves you.
看了几遍人生的指南
I've watched the guide to life several times,
我还是选择没姿态
Yet I still choose to remain unassuming.
目前最有趣的等待是未来
Right now, the most interesting wait is for the future,
有几片云的晴空
With a few clouds in a clear sky,
除了感动还有微风
Besides the emotions, there’s a gentle breeze.
我的爱人走了很久
My lover has been gone for quite some time,
天气不热听着歌
The weather's not hot while listening to songs,
几个背包一台旧车
A few backpacks and an old car.
我的世界音量不多
My world isn't very loud
自拍的拍拍到世外
Selfies capturing a world beyond
自拍的拍拍到发呆
Selfies capturing moments of daze
前面阳光正面照过来
Sunlight shines brightly ahead
眼睛也不愿意睁开
My eyes don't even want to open
一生无非几个欢笑悲哀
Life is just a handful of joys and sorrows
和爱你的女孩
And the girl who loves you
看了几遍人生的指南
I've read the guide to life a few times
我还是选择没姿态
Yet I choose to remain without a stance
目前最有趣的等待是未来
Currently, the most interesting wait is for the future
前面阳光正面照过来
The sunlight ahead shines right on me
眼睛也不愿意睁开
My eyes refuse to open wide
一生无非几个欢笑悲哀
Life is just a mix of laughs and sighs
和爱你的女孩
And the girl I love by my side
看了几遍人生的指南
I've read life's guide a few times
我还是选择没姿态
Yet I still choose to stand aside
目前最有趣的等待
The most interesting wait is yet to come
前面阳光正面照过来
The sunlight ahead shines right on me
眼睛也不愿意睁开
My eyes refuse to open wide
一生无非几个欢笑悲哀
Life is just a mix of laughs and sighs
和爱你的女孩
With the girl I love,
看了几遍人生的指南
I've read the guide to life a few times,
我还是选择没姿态
I still choose to remain unpretentious,
目前最有趣的等待
For now, the most intriguing wait,
前面阳光正面照过来
Sunlight shines brightly ahead,
眼睛也不愿意睁开
My eyes refuse to open,
一生无非几个欢笑悲哀
Life offers nothing but a few laughs and sorrows.
