斑马，斑马 lyrics with English translation

斑马斑马 你不要睡著啦

Zebra, zebra, please don't fall asleep now

再给我看看你受伤的尾巴

Let me see your wounded tail once more

我不想去触碰你伤口的疤

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

我只想掀起你的头发

I just want to lift your hair

斑马斑马 你回到了你的家

Zebra, zebra, you've returned to your home

可我浪费著我寒冷的年华

But I've wasted my chilly youth

你的城市没有一扇门为我打开啊

Your city has no door open for me, oh

我终究还要回到路上

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

斑马斑马 你来自南方的红色

Zebra, zebra, you come from the red south

是否也是个动人的故事啊

Could it be another touching story?

你隔壁的戏子如果不能留下

If the actor next door can't stay,

谁会和你睡到天亮

Who will sleep with you until the dawn?

斑马斑马 你还记得我吗

Zebra, zebra, do you still remember me?

我是只会歌唱的傻瓜

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

斑马斑马 你睡吧睡吧

Zebra, zebra, go on and sleep, sleep.

我会背上吉他离开北方

I'll pack my guitar and leave the North,

斑马斑马 你还记得我吗

Zebra, zebra, do you still remember me?

我是强说著忧愁的孩子啊

I’m the child who pretends to be sorrowful.

斑马斑马 你睡吧睡吧

Zebra, zebra, go on and sleep, sleep.

我把你的青草带回故乡

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

斑马斑马 你不要睡著啦

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

我只是个匆忙的旅人啊

I'm just a hurried traveler, oh,

斑马斑马 你睡吧睡吧

Zebra, zebra, go on and sleep, sleep,

我要卖掉我的房子

I'm going to sell my house,

浪迹天涯

Wandering the world.
