空空如也 lyrics with English translation

在每个洒满阳光的清晨

On every sunlit morning,

我都拎著背包走上街道

I grab my backpack and hit the street.

皮鞋敲著路面嘎嘎作响

My leather shoes tap out a clacking beat,

发型新颖而且外套鲜亮

With a fresh hairstyle and a coat so bright.

我和她整夜的爱抚缠绵

We cherished each touch through the night,

紫星星都洒落在床边

As purple stars spilled by the bedside.

她说感觉我就在她里面

She says it feels like I'm deep inside her,

我却感觉我迷失在荒野

Yet I feel lost in the wilderness wide.

可我不知道为什么

But I don't know why,

感觉自己并不存在

I feel like I don't exist.

在我坚硬的肉下面

Beneath my hardened flesh

空空如也

It's an emptiness profound

可我不知道为什么

But I don't know why

总是感觉不到自己

I always feel so lost

在我坚硬的肉下面

Beneath my hardened flesh

空空如也

It's an emptiness profound

从出生到现在我都在寻找

From the moment I was born, I've been searching

寻找一种存在的理由

Searching for a reason to exist

我想知道生命真正的意义

I want to know the true meaning of life

想知道究竟为什么活著

I want to understand why we live

生命中有一种悲无法形容

There's a sadness in life that cannot be expressed.

你笑著却比哭要心碎

You smile, yet it's more heartbreaking than tears.

正如还有一种痛无法承受

Just as there's a pain that's beyond endurance.

你活著却比死要失望

You live, yet disappointment feels worse than death.

而我不知道为什么

And I don't know why.

总是感觉不到自己

I always feel so disconnected from myself.

在我坚硬的肉下面

Beneath this hardened flesh of mine,

空空如也

I am empty inside.

而我不知道为什么

And I don't know why.

总是无法面对自己

I can never confront who I am.

在我坚硬的肉下面

Beneath my hardened flesh

空空如也

It's all so empty

而我不知道为什么

And I don't know why

感觉自己并不存在

I feel like I don't exist

在我坚硬的肉下面

Beneath my hardened flesh

空空如也

It's all so empty

而我不知道

And I don't know

这比死还要让我恐惧

This frightens me more than death

在我坚硬的肉下面

Beneath my hardened flesh

空空如也

It's all so empty
