灯 不能熄灭 熬过今夜 就能从书中逃回到 这个世界
The light cannot be extinguished, endure this night, and you can escape back to this world from the pages.
我 我不明白 这个年代 怎么还能说读好书 就会发财 好呆
I, I don't understand, how in this era can they still say that reading good books will bring wealth? Such nonsense.
爱我的爸 疼我的妈 说了那么多你们明白吗
Love my dad, cherish my mom, after all that talk, do you really understand?
不是要反抗 只是要你看 我不满的地方
It's not about rebellion, I just want you to see the things that displease me.
读读读读读到书想吐 好想哭
Read, read, read, till I want to vomit, I really want to cry.
怕怕怕怕怕 老是背书 好白痴
Scared, scared, scared, always memorizing, it's so silly.
你你你你你 只会说你要第一 我就快要发羊癫疯
You, you, you, you, you only say you want to be first, I'm about to lose my mind.
不是每个人都会读书 会读书
Not everyone can study, can read.
不厉害读书也不一定就会输
Just because you're not great at studying doesn’t mean you'll lose.
不是想要说我会读书 不在乎
I'm not trying to claim I'm a good student, I don't care.
我只想要 你能清楚
All I want is for you to understand clearly.
我 我不明白 这个年代 怎么还能说读好书 就会发财 好呆
I, I don’t understand how in this day and age, we can still say that studying well will lead to wealth, how silly.
爱我的爸 疼我的妈 说了那么多你们明白吗
My dad loves me, my mom cares for me, after saying so much, do you understand?
不是要反抗 只是要你看 我不满的地方
It's not about rebelling, it's just that I want you to see the places I’m dissatisfied with.
读读读读读到书想吐 好想哭
Reading, reading, reading, till I’m sick of books, I really want to cry.
怕怕怕怕怕 老是背书 好白痴
Scared, scared, scared, always memorizing, it’s so stupid.
你你你你你 只会说你要第一 我就快要发羊癫疯
You, you, you, you, you only say you want to be first, I’m about to go totally insane.
不是每个人都会读书 会读书
Not everyone can excel at studying, can study well.
不厉害读书也不一定就会输
Not being great at studying doesn’t necessarily mean you'll lose.
不是想要说我会读书 不在乎 我只想要 你能清楚
It's not that I want to claim I study well, it doesn’t matter, I just want for you to understand clearly.
读读读读读到书想吐 好想哭
Read, read, read, read, can't take it anymore, I just want to cry.
怕怕怕怕怕 老是背书 好白痴
Scared, scared, scared, scared, always memorizing, how ridiculous.
你你你你你 只会说你要第一 我就快要发羊癫疯
You, you, you, you, only know to say you want to be first, I'm about to lose my mind.
不是每个人都会读书 会读书
Not everyone can study, can study.
不厉害读书也不一定就会输
Not all who study well will win for sure.
不是想要说我会读书 不在乎 我只想要 你能清楚
It's not that I want to brag about my studies, I just want you to understand.
读读读读读到书想吐 好想哭
Read, read, read, read, can't take it anymore, I just want to cry.
怕怕怕怕怕 老是背书 好白痴
Scared, scared, scared, scared, always memorizing, how ridiculous.
你你你你你 只会说你要第一 我就快要发羊癫疯
You, you, you, you, only know to say you want to be first, I'm about to lose my mind.
不是每个人都会读书 会读书 不厉害读书也不一定就会输
Not everyone can study, can study, not all who study well will win for sure.
不是想要说我会读书 不在乎 我只想要 你能清楚
It's not that I want to say I'm studious, I don't care, I just want you to understand clearly.
