有人在三更半夜寂寞中等待中
Someone waits in the lonely depths of the night,
有人在光天化日玩乐中荒淫中
Someone revels in the bright sunshine, lost in indulgence,
有人在天下太平失恋中失落中
Someone feels lost after a heartbreak in peaceful times,
有人在末日舞曲游戏中快乐中
Someone finds joy in the dance of an apocalyptic game,
你是否一位观众看著他们有没有用
Are you just a spectator, watching if they matter?
你是否一位观众看著他们有种没种
Are you just a spectator, watching if they have courage?
有人在黄金年龄创业中高潮中
Someone reaches a peak in their golden years of entrepreneurship,
有人在退休岁月得道中低调中
Someone keeps it low-key in the wisdom of retirement,
有人在患得患失求学中尝试中
Someone tries amidst the fears of gain and loss in their studies,
哪一位才是英雄
Which one of them is the hero?
也许这些人们的过程不同目标相同
Perhaps these people's journeys differ, yet their goals align.
也许我们就在其中
Maybe we are right in the midst of it.
也许都分别不大心情不同天下大同
Perhaps the distinctions aren't vast, just different moods in a harmonious world.
也许他们只是儿童
Maybe they are just children.
一闪一闪小小星星晃动星光的蒙眬
Twinkling, twinkling, little stars, swaying in the hazy starlight.
星光蒙眬千山万水正好装饰你的梦
The hazy starlight, across mountains and rivers, perfectly adorns your dreams.
你的眼睛正好装饰你的星球上的洞
Your eyes perfectly decorate the holes on your planet.
成千上万黑色眼珠正在交互的转动
Thousands of black pupils are revolving, intertwining in a dance.
有人在地铁车站寻找中荒废中
Someone is searching in the subway station, lost in the chaos.
有人在人行道上前进中蜜运中
Someone is advancing on the sidewalk, in a secret love affair.
有人在厨房中央麻木中烧菜中
Someone's numb in the kitchen, cooking away,
有人在睡房边缘吵骂中冲突中
Someone's clashing at the edge of the bedroom, in a heated dispute,
你看人家的时候跟看自己有何不同
When you look at others, what's the difference from looking at yourself?
有时候会不会心痛
Sometimes does it hurt your heart?
也许这些人们的过程不同目标相同
Maybe these people's journeys are different, but their goals are the same.
也许我们就在其中
Perhaps we are right in the midst of it all.
也许都分别不大心情不同天下大同
Maybe the differences aren't so great, feelings vary but the world remains one.
也许他们只是儿童
Perhaps they are just children.
一闪一闪小小星星晃动星光的蒙眬
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, swaying in the dreamy starlight,
星光蒙眬千山万水正好装饰你的梦
The starlight hazy, across mountains and rivers, just perfect to decorate your dreams.
你的眼睛正好装饰你的星球上的洞
Your eyes just perfectly adorn the holes on your planet.
成千上万黑色眼珠正在交互的转动
Thousands of black orbs are rotating in interaction.
