黑色的高帽架着风飘到
A black high hat sways with the wind,
东方灯映照得哄动
Eastern lights illuminate with a stirring glow.
正在蠕动
It is writhing,
急风吹得我似转动
The fierce wind makes me feel like I'm spinning.
快令我想起舞
Hurry, make me want to dance.
大脑内记忆破洞
My brain's memories are full of holes,
留恋于优雅袖香光阴送
Lingering in the elegance of scented moments.
黑色的高帽架着风
A black high hat carries the wind,
盯向长街的姿态及芳踪
Fixated on the postures and fragrant trails of the long street.
低胸的衣着起势弄
Low-cut attire rises to stir things up.
掩盖时光中不见散
Covering the time that fades away unseen
灼热了的心
A heart that's burned bright
放荡到或会毁美梦
Recklessly risking the beautiful dream
凭金光紫醉夜空中起哄
With gold and purple igniting chaos in the night sky
红要像灯般亮
Red should shine like a lamp
黄与绿有方向
Yellow and green have their direction
又发现在背后青光异常
I discover an unusual blue glow behind me
蓝要是挂天上
Blue must hang in the sky
未够艳紫一抹夸张
Not yet bold enough, purple makes a statement
红要像灯般亮
Red should shine like a lamp
黄与绿有方向
Yellow and green have their direction,
又发现在背后青光异常
Again I discover an unusual blue light behind me.
蓝要是挂天上
If blue were to hang in the sky,
另有白色捆上
There would be white bound together with it.
未够艳紫一抹夸张
Not enough vivid purple to boast a flair,
新气象
A new atmosphere.
黑色的高帽架着风
The black high hat is lifted by the wind,
找到抬高的身价没有用
Finding a raised status is of no use.
胭脂多吸引竟作弄
Lipstick is alluring, yet it plays tricks,
摆脱无止境的火舌已极严重
Breaking free from the endless tongues of fire has become quite serious.
愈觉自我早欠奉
Feeling like I've long lost my sense of self,
无边的兴奋 目光早猜中
Endless excitement, my gaze already knows.
