来回重复听着某歌
Listening to the same song on repeat,
借助月光数算脚步
Counting footsteps under the moonlit glow.
不想归家只想见见你面
I don't want to go home, just want to see your face.
不想不想不想算了也罢
Don't want, don't want, don't want—fine, let it be.
斜阳余晖变换晚灯
The slanting sun casts warm hues on the evening lights.
霓虹亮光招引脚步
Neon glows beckon my wandering feet.
流连常踏旧地渐是习惯
Lingering in familiar places has become a habit.
消磨睡不着夜晚
Filling the sleepless nights with passing time.
橱窗里黄灯里
In the window, yellow light glows,
仍摆满玩意
Still filled with trinkets and all sorts of things.
荡去荡来在晚上
Swinging back and forth in the night
但总有一些不想归去愿意留下
Yet there are always some who don't want to leave, willing to stay
来回重复唱着某歌
Repeating a certain song over and over
悠然闲荡旧地渐渐习惯
Leisurely drifting, gradually getting used to the old place
消磨睡不着的夜晚
While passing sleepless nights
橱窗里黄灯里
In the showcase under the yellow lights
仍摆满玩意
Still filled with trinkets
看一个路人 仿似游魂
Watching a passerby, like a wandering soul
荡去荡来在晚上
Swinging back and forth in the night
门关了人走了零星散去
The door is closed, people have left, scattered like dust
但总有一些不想归去愿意留下
But there are always some who wish to stay rather than return.
