世界几大我几高
How vast is the world, and how high am I?
还未看破有多好
I still can't see how good it can be.
请给我一一参透好不好
Please let me understand it all, won't you?
眼界几大我几高
How wide is my vision, and how high am I?
还未上过太多路
I haven't walked many roads yet.
今天我只得一岁要到处寻宝
Today I'm just one year old, on a treasure hunt everywhere.
一生几多次心跳
How many heartbeats does a lifetime hold?
我跳了多少
How many have I jumped?
就像今天刚开窍
Just like today, I’ve just awakened.
极乐到大叫
In ecstasy, I shout out loud!
很多东西碰不了
So many things can't be touched
我错过多少
How much have I missed?
做什么都不得了
Whatever I do feels crucial
我要发高烧
I'm burning with fever
从前最美好的献给记忆
The best of times, a gift to memory
原来有更好的我想见识
Turns out there's a better me I want to meet
潜龙无悔
The hidden dragon has no regrets
活着未怕更刺激
Living on is more thrilling than fear
世界几大我几高
How vast is the world, how high can I rise?
还未看破有多好
Yet to see how wonderful it can be
请给我一一参透好不好
Please help me understand it all, will you?
眼界几大我几高
The wider my vision, the higher I rise.
还未上过太多路
I haven't traveled many roads yet.
今天我只得一岁要到处寻宝
Today I'm just one year old, searching for treasure everywhere.
不知怎么算污秽
I don't know how to calculate filth.
活着便美丽
To be alive is beautiful.
就像今天刚出世
Just like being born today.
未学会入世
I haven't learned how to enter this world.
不必急于去洗礼
No need to rush for baptism.
我有染色体
I have chromosomes.
就是天使都不够
Even angels are not enough,
那会怕魔鬼
So why fear the devil?
从前最美好的献给记忆
The best of the past is given to memories,
原来有更好的我想见识
Turns out there's more to me I want to explore.
潜龙无悔
A hidden dragon, no regrets,
活着未怕更刺激
Living life, I'm not afraid of the thrill.
世界几大我几高
How high is this world, how far can I go?
还未看破有多好
Still yet to see just how great it can be.
请给我一一参透好不好
Please grant me a glimpse into it, will you?
眼界几大我几高
As wide as my vision, so high I will soar.
还未上过太多路
Still haven't wandered too far
今天我只得一岁要到处寻宝
Today I'm just a year old, searching for treasures everywhere
不要任我
Don't just leave me be
保鲜纸里磋跎
Stuck in this cling film, wasting away
等你问我
Waiting for you to ask me
这鸡蛋壳一敲即破会看见什么
What will we see when we crack this eggshell?
世界几大我几高
How vast is the world, and how high am I?
还未看破有多好
Still haven't realized how good it can be
请给我一一参透好不好
Please help me see it through, would you?
眼界几大我几高
How broad is my view, and how high am I?
还未上过太多路
Haven't traveled too far yet,
今天我只得一岁要到处寻宝
Today I turn just one, searching high and low for treasure.
