  1. 斑马斑马 不要睡著

    Zebra, zebra, please don't fall asleep now

  2. 看看受伤尾巴

    Let me see your wounded tail once more

  3. 我不想去触碰伤口

    I don't want to touch the scar of your pain

  4. 只想掀起你的头发

    I just want to lift your hair

  5. 斑马斑马 回到你的

    Zebra, zebra, you've returned to your home

  6. 浪费寒冷年华

    But I've wasted my chilly youth

  7. 你的城市没有一扇门为我打开

    Your city has no door open for me, oh

  8. 终究回到路上

    In the end, I still have to get back on the road

  9. 斑马斑马 来自南方红色

    Zebra, zebra, you come from the red south

  10. 是否也是动人故事

    Could it be another touching story?

  11. 隔壁如果不能留下

    If the actor next door can't stay,

  12. 谁会睡到天亮

    Who will sleep with you until the dawn?

  13. 斑马斑马 记得我吗

    Zebra, zebra, do you still remember me?

  14. 我是歌唱傻瓜

    I’m just a fool who knows how to sing.

  15. 斑马斑马

    Zebra, zebra, go on and sleep, sleep.

  16. 背上吉他离开北方

    I'll pack my guitar and leave the North,

  17. 斑马斑马 记得我吗

    Zebra, zebra, do you still remember me?

  18. 我是忧愁孩子

    I’m the child who pretends to be sorrowful.

  19. 斑马斑马

    Zebra, zebra, go on and sleep, sleep.

  20. 我把你的青草故乡

    I’ll take your green grass back to my hometown.

  21. 斑马斑马 不要睡著

    Zebra, zebra, don't you fall asleep now,

  22. 只是匆忙旅人

    I'm just a hurried traveler, oh,

  23. 斑马斑马

    Zebra, zebra, go on and sleep, sleep,

  24. 我要我的房子

    I'm going to sell my house,

  25. 浪迹天涯

    Wandering the world.
