又很久没见
It's been a while since we last met
你剪了长发
You've cut your long hair
谈怎么说话
Talking about how to speak
谈怎么启发
Talking about how to inspire
怕歌词写的肉麻
Afraid the lyrics sound cheesy
怕浮夸
Afraid of being too grandiose
放一盘磁带
Playing a tape
七八十年代
From the '70s and '80s
才听了一半
I've only listened to half
就悲伤起来
And already I feel the sadness rise
每一句里的感慨
Every sigh within each line
都是现在
Is from the present moment

写一首我们一生最平凡的歌
Writing the most ordinary song of our lives.

告诉你爱的人你多真多深刻
Tells the one you love how true and profound your feelings are.
作曲家
The composer,
我还是你多年未见的老友啊
I am still your old friend you haven't seen in years,
而你还是不太明白
Yet you still don't quite understand.
孤独是个节拍
Loneliness has its own beat.
音符不会写
Notes can't be written down
写歌是感觉
Writing songs is all about feeling
看几眼世界
Glimpse the world a few times
多几个头衔
More titles, more crowns
理论书上的观点
Theories in books hold flaws
有缺陷
They're imperfect
颁一个奖牌
Award a medal
说一段对白
Share a line from a script
不谈情说爱
No talk of romance or love
也尽量精彩
But still, let's make it splendid
没几个人生下来
Not many are born
不是天才
Without being a genius
