蜃楼 lyrics with English translation

当挤身地铁中 可去到天国远足

In the crowded subway, I can hike to paradise,

当喧哗夜店中 可看出我想发梦

In the noisy nightclub, I can see my dreams unfold.

城内却热到 幻想都干燥

But in the city, it’s so hot that fantasies dry up,

而我顺著思念迷路

And I wander lost, guided by my longing.

想得到半滴美好 这渴望大到

Wishing for just a drop of beauty; this desire is vast,

两眼合实或看到

Even if I close my eyes, I might still see.

沉迷一睡不醒的白昼

Enthralled by a never-ending daydream,

宁愿恋爱散失后 至少可内疚

I’d rather lose love; at least I could feel guilt,

无论是化身是化灰总算是华丽理由

No matter if I transform or turn to dust, it's still a glorious reason,

能怀念到永久

That I can cherish forever.

美丽 在骤眼间会没有

Beauty fades in the blink of an eye

到底都得过镜花的享受

In the end, one must savor the illusion of the mirror flowers

我相信蜃楼 相信荒谬

I believe in mirages, I believe in the absurd

从来憧憬的都不永久 总好过没有

What I've always yearned for is never permanent, but it’s still better than having nothing

当掌心是你的 都会想 想去接触

When your hand is in mine, I yearn to reach out and touch

当呼吸是暖的 可种出我的翠绿

When the breath is warm, it can nurture my vibrant green

城内岁月老 幻想都干燥

The years in the city grow old, and fantasies turn dry

而我顺著思念迷路

And I wander lost in memories of you

想得到半滴美好 这渴望太到

Longing for just a drop of beauty, this desire is too intense

世界末日未碰到

The apocalypse has yet to arrive

沉迷一睡不醒的白昼

Lost in a daydream, never waking up,

宁愿恋爱散失后 至少可内疚

I'd rather lose love than feel no guilt at all.

无论是化身是化灰总算是华丽理由

Whether transformed or reduced to ash, it's still a glamorous excuse,

能怀念到永久

To cherish memories forever.

美丽 在骤眼间会没有

Beauty can vanish in the blink of an eye.

到底都得过镜花的享受

After all, we must experience the delight of reflected illusions.

我相信蜃楼 相信荒谬

I believe in mirages, I believe in the absurd.

从来憧憬的都不永久 总好过没有

What I've always yearned for is never permanent, yet it's better than nothing.

沉迷一睡不醒的白昼

Lost in a daydream, never waking up,

宁愿一切散失后 至少可内疚

I'd rather everything fade away than feel no guilt at all.

无论是叹息是记忆总算在华丽里浮

No matter if it's a sigh or a memory, it all floats in splendor.

能沉睡到永久

Able to sleep until forever.

美丽 在骤眼间会没有

Beauty may disappear in the blink of an eye.

变出一千扎镜花的今后

Transforming into a thousand mirrored flowers of the future.

我相信蜃楼 相信荒谬

I believe in mirages, I believe in the absurd.

从来憧憬的都不永久 总好过没有

What we always yearn for may not last, but it's still better than having nothing.
