行走的鱼 lyrics with English translation

写一首歌给你听 来致敬你的阴影

I write a song for you, to pay homage to your shadow

人们传颂勇气 而我可不可以

People speak of courage, but can I too?

爱你哭泣的心 爱你的情绪

Loving your crying heart, loving your emotions

和你亲手戴上的面具 拉扯得很痛吧我懂你

The mask you placed on me, it pulls tightly, I understand your pain

假装不怕笑得暴力 我们都好像

Pretending not to fear, laughing violently, we all seem that way

像一条鱼行走在陆地 要学著呼吸

Like a fish walking on land, learning how to breathe

孤单热闹双栖 忍著痛往前行

Loneliness and hustle cohabitate, bearing the pain and moving forward

不过是梦寐以求 长大了怎么你不快乐

Isn't it just a dream that's desired? Growing up, why aren't you happy?

一边哭一边丢 一边颓一边追

Crying while tossing, fading while chasing

把玩具都忘了 换大人的外壳

Forgetting the toys, exchanging for an adult's shell

好难过好幽默 你走过我走过

So sad yet so humorous, you walked by, I walked by

别后退听我说 人们爱你的光

Don't retreat, listen to me say, people love your shine

我偏爱你的黑 你的笨你的错

I favor your darkness, your clumsiness, your flaws

用瑕疵做我们 找彼此的印记

Using imperfections to find our marks in each other

没关系没关系 你一定爱我不完美的心

It's okay, it's okay, you must love my imperfect heart

想写给你听 写我们心照不宣的怪癖

Want to write for you, about our unspoken quirks

只想在这不安的世纪 为你保留哭的权利

Just want to preserve the right to cry for you in this uneasy century

我们都好像 像一条鱼行走在陆地

We both seem like, a fish walking on land

要学著呼吸 孤单热闹双栖

Learning to breathe, a dual life of solitude and noise

很用力的前行 不过是梦寐以求

Moving forward with great effort, it's just a dream longed for

长大了怎么你不快乐 一边哭一边丢

Growing up, why aren't you happy? Crying while letting go.

一边颓一边追 把玩具都忘了

Chasing dreams while feeling down, forgetting all the toys we had.

换大人的外壳 好难过好幽默

Wearing a grown-up's shell, so sad yet humorous.

你走过我走过 别后退听我说

You've walked by, I've walked by, don't step back, just listen to me.

人们爱你的光 我偏爱你的黑

People love your light, but I prefer your dark.

你的笨你的错 用瑕疵做我们

Your clumsiness, your mistakes, let's embrace our flaws.

找彼此的印记 没关系没关系

Finding each other's imprints, it's okay, it's okay.

你一定爱我受伤的表情

You must love the hurt in my expressions.

请和我约定 管世界正剧闹剧

Promise me to meet, regardless of the world's drama or comedy.

发誓要演得尽兴 像一段遗憾的过往不与任何人讲

Swearing to perform wholeheartedly, like a bittersweet past, kept to ourselves.

像一首悲伤的歌却被人欢快的唱

Like a sad song that's joyfully sung by all,

像一艘归航的船灯塔熄灭所有光

Like a ship returning home, with the lighthouse dimming every light,

像是你像是我 像每个渺小而又破碎的心

Like you, like me, like every small and shattered heart,

真诚的炽热却被谎言割伤

Sincerity burns bright yet is cut by lies,

像奋力奔跑的孩子忘记来时方向

Like a child running fiercely, forgetting the way they came,

像沉默的人突然有话语堵在胸膛

Like a silent person suddenly finding words stuck in their chest,

没关系没关系 请让我用这首歌拥抱你

It's alright, it's alright, let me embrace you with this song,

就这么约定 管世界正剧闹剧

Let's make this promise, amidst the world's drama and farce,

发誓要演得尽兴 写一首歌给你听

Swearing to perform with all my heart, I'll write a song just for you.
