多么沮丧 成人世界并不像童话
How frustrating, the adult world isn't like a fairy tale
王子公主很少 喜剧收场
Princes and princesses are rare, the comedy ends
不是只要够勇敢 够善良 就会有
It's not just about being brave enough, kind enough, to have it
仙女 帮忙 实现愿望
A fairy helping to grant wishes
慢慢懂了 其实失恋是一种力量
Slowly understanding, heartbreak is actually a kind of strength
因为孤独让人 可以回想
Because loneliness allows one to recall
是在哪边该下车 却没下 才到了
Where to get off, yet not getting off, only arrived
一个 不想 到的地方
At a place you never wanted to go
有时候爱是粉红的羽毛
Sometimes love is a pink feather
谁捧著都有微笑的眼角
Whoever holds it has a smile in their eyes
才看他在手心沉沉的睡著
I just saw him peacefully sleeping in my palm,
一起风 又醒了 那么轻飘飘的走掉
A breeze passed by, and awoke him, gently drifting away.
我觉得我是雪白的羽毛
I feel like I'm a pure white feather,
向往著超越自己的渺小
Yearning to surpass my own insignificance.
成为寂寞城堡关不了
Becoming a lonely castle that can’t be sealed off,
能带给人幸福的青鸟
A bluebird that brings happiness to people.
幸福的青鸟
A happy bluebird,
慢慢懂了 其实失恋是一种力量
I slowly understood that heartbreak is a form of strength.
因为孤独让人 可以回想
For in solitude, one can reflect,
是在哪边该下车 却没下 才到了
Wondering where I should have gotten off, yet I didn't, and here I am.
一个 不想 到的地方
A place I don't want to go
有时候爱是粉红的羽毛
Sometimes love is a pink feather
谁捧著都有微笑的眼角
Whoever holds it has a smiling eye
才看他在手心沉沉的睡著
Only to see him sleeping deeply in the palm of my hand
一起风 又醒了 那么轻飘飘的走掉
The wind comes together, then wakes up and floats away so lightly
我觉得我是雪白的羽毛
I feel like a pure white feather
向往著超越自己的渺小
Yearning to transcend my own insignificance
成为寂寞城堡关不了
Becoming a lonely castle that can't be closed off
能带给人幸福的青鸟
A bluebird that can bring happiness to others
有时候爱是粉红的羽毛
Sometimes love is a pink feather
谁捧著都有微笑的眼角
Whoever holds him smiles with gentle eyes,
才看他在手心沉沉的睡著
Only then do I see him sleeping soundly in my palm.
一起风 又醒了 那么轻飘飘的走掉
Together with the breeze, he wakes, drifting away so lightly.
我觉得我是雪白的羽毛
I feel like a pure white feather,
向往著超越自己的渺小
Yearning to transcend my own smallness.
成为寂寞城堡关不了
Becoming a lonely castle that cannot shut its doors,
能带给人幸福的青鸟
A bluebird that brings happiness to all.
