世界几大我几高
How vast the world, how high am I?
还未看破有多好
Yet I haven't realized how great it can be.
请给我一一参透好不好
Please let me see it all, would you?
眼界几大我几高
How wide the vision, how high am I?
还未上过太多路
Still haven't traveled many paths yet.
今天我只得一岁要到处寻宝
Today I'm just one, out to seek treasure everywhere.
一生几多次心跳
How many heartbeats in a lifetime?
我跳了多少
How many have I already danced through?
就像今天刚开窍
Just like today, I've just awakened.
极乐到大叫
In pure ecstasy, I shout out loud.
很多东西碰不了
So many things I can't touch
我错过多少
How much have I missed?
做什么都不得了
No matter what I do, it's never enough
我要发高烧
I want to burn with fever
从前最美好的献给记忆
Once, the best was given to memory
原来有更好的我想见识
Turns out there's a better me I want to discover
潜龙无悔
A hidden dragon, no regrets
活著未怕更刺激
Living boldly, unafraid of more thrills
世界几大我几高
How vast is the world, and how high is my climb?
还未看破有多好
Still haven't seen just how good 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 view, the higher I soar.
还未上过太多路
I've yet to travel many roads,
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
Not sure how to define what's impure,
活著便美丽
Living is already beautiful.
就像今天刚出世
Just like being born today anew.
未学会入世
Haven't learned to enter the world,
不必急于去洗礼
No need to rush for baptism,
我有染色体
I carry my chromosomes.
就是天使都不够
Even angels aren't enough,
那会怕魔鬼
So why fear the devil?
从前最美好的献给记忆
Once the most beautiful, given to memory,
原来有更好的我想见识
Turns out there's a better me I want to see.
潜龙无悔
A hidden dragon knows no regret,
活著未怕更刺激
Living on isn't scary, it's more thrilling yet.
世界几大我几高
The world is vast, but I'm standing tall,
还未看破有多好
Still haven't seen how truly great it can all be.
请给我一一参透好不好
Please help me understand it, will you?
眼界几大我几高
My vision is wide, and I'm reaching high.
还未上过太多路
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.
不要任我
Don't allow me to be free,
保鲜纸里蹉跎
Wrapped in plastic, time slips 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 be revealed when this eggshell breaks?
世界几大我几高
How vast the world is, and how tall I stand,
还未看破有多好
Still haven't seen through how great it can be.
请给我一一参透好不好
Please let me understand it all, would that be alright?
眼界几大我几高
How wide my perspective is, so tall I stand.
还未上过太多路
Haven't traveled much yet,
今天我只得一岁要到处寻宝
Today I'm just one year old, out to seek my treasure.
