真没时间去伤春悲秋
There's really no time to mourn spring or autumn.
眼耳鼻舌口
Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and mouth.
忙着被诱惑
Busy being tempted.
感谢这个神奇的宇宙
Thanks to this magical universe.
热闹的地球
The lively earth.
愿意容纳我
Willing to embrace me.
风花雪月太好看
The beauty of wind, flowers, snow, and moon.
苦辣酸甜在狂欢
Bittersweet flavors in the celebration.
每天
Every day.
一口什么
What is this taste?
一杯什么
What is in the cup
温暖我
Warms my soul
一盘什么
What is on the plate
一碗什么
What is in the bowl
抚慰我
Comforts me
食人间烟火
The smoke of the world
哪有空烦忧
How can I find time to worry
一本什么
What is in the book
一场什么
What is in the experience
感动我
Moves me deeply
一首什么
What kind of song
一部什么
What kind of story
震撼我
Shakes me to my core
这人间烟火
This world's fleeting beauty
太奢侈挥霍
Is too lavish to waste
简直幸福到愧疚
It's almost happiness that brings guilt
La-la la-la
La-la la-la
La la la la la
La la la
感谢老天周到款待我
Thank you, heavens, for your thoughtful hospitality
我作了什么
What have I done
能这样享受
To enjoy like this
红橙黄绿真撩乱
Red, orange, yellow, green—so enticingly chaotic
爱恨情仇都浪漫
Love, hate, emotions—all so romantic
每天
Every day
一口什么
A bite of something
一杯什么
A cup of something
勾引我
Tempting me
一盘什么
A plate of something
一碗什么
What is in a bowl
升华我
Elevates me
食人间烟火
The smoke of the world
哪有空烦忧
Where is there time for worries?
一本什么
What is in a book
一场什么
What is in a performance
抱住我
Hold me tight
一首什么
What is in a song
一部什么
What is in a story
懂了我
Understand me
这人间烟火
This world's fleeting sparks
太奢侈挥霍
Such lavish waste
简直幸福到愧疚
So blissful it's almost a sin
我想我
I think of myself
真的应该要设法
We really should find a way
还些什么
What else is there?
才 能继续心安理得
Only then can I feel at peace with my heart.
享用
Enjoy
那 就让我一直努力真心歌颂
So let me keep striving to sincerely sing my praise
点亮一点点烟火
Light up a little spark of fire
每天
Every day
尝试什么
What to try
探索什么
What to explore
新鲜我
The fresh me
咀嚼什么
What to chew
消化什么
What to digest
美丽我
The beautiful me
食人间烟火
Experiencing the world's flavors
作完整的我
Becoming the whole me
拥抱什么
What to embrace
舍弃什么
What shall I cast away
圆满我
To be complete, to be whole
去作什么
What should I pursue
不作什么
What should I forgo
成熟我
To grow, to mature
这人间烟火
In this world of fleeting flames
要尽情挥霍
I must revel without restraint
这种幸福不愧疚
This happiness feels so right
La-la la-la
La-la la-la
La la la la la
La la la
La-la la-la
La-la la-la
La la la la la
La la la
