要是你是5号
If you were number five
隆重意义说不到
The grand meaning can't be expressed
仍让我们能当6, 7号
Yet still lets us be six and seven
也觉得有味道
And feel the flavor,
要是你是句号
If you were a full stop,
让我当个大引号
Let me be the big quotation mark,
便会东一句
Then it would be a line to the east,
或会西一句
Or perhaps a line to the west,
都很好
All would be well,
行在路中
Walking on the road.
万物全有看到
Everything has its sight.
愈望愈似一块砌图
The more I hope, the more it looks like a jigsaw.
一幅一幅 刚刚好
One piece fits just right.
行在路中
Walking along the way.
万物全部有福
Everything is truly blessed.
愈闷愈爱走到大道东
The heavier the gloom, the more I long for the east road.
边位最好 请数（伴我去数）
The best spot, please count (come count with me).
这个快乐 这个美丽
This joy, this beauty.
少一位都很少
Even one less feels so rare.
这个寂寞 几多个脆弱
This loneliness, how many weaknesses.
多一位都太多
One more is just too much
一个市面 千副正面
A marketplace, a thousand faces
如集合在拍照
Like a group gathering for a photo
这个在前 几多个在后
This one in front, several behind
少一位都太少
One less is just too few
我们正在记录
We are documenting
城内眼神与体重
The gazes and weights within the city
然后证明无一是克隆
Then proving none are clones
个个都有味道
Each one has its own flavor
要是你是杉木
If you were a cedar wood
让我当串地切草
Let me sever the grass like threads,
苦会生得到
Suffering will bring forth sweetness,
便会长得到 相当好
Then it will grow, all will be well.
行在路中
Walking down the road,
万物全有看到
Everything is within sight,
愈望愈似一块砌图
The more I hope, the more it resembles a puzzle piece.
一幅一幅 刚刚好
Frame by frame, just right.
行在路中
Walking down the road,
万物全部有福
Everything is blessed,
愈闷愈爱走到大道东
The more I wander, the more I love to stride to the east.
这个快乐 这个美丽
This joy, this beauty
少一位都很少
Even one less feels so scarce
这个寂寞 几多个脆弱
This loneliness, how many are fragile
多一位都太多
One more is just too much
一个市面 千副正面
A marketplace, a thousand faces
如集合在拍照
Like gathering for a photo
这个在前 几多个在后
This one in front, how many behind
少一位都太少
One less is just too few
这个自然 这个壮健
This nature, this strength
少一位都很少
Even one less feels so scarce
这个皱纹 几多个皱眉
This wrinkle, how many frowns it bears
多一位都太多
One more face would be too many
一个市面 千副正面
One marketplace, a thousand faces shining
如集合全人类 在拍照
As if all humanity gathered for a photo
这个在前 几多个在后
This one in front, how many are behind
这个快乐 这个美丽
This joy, this beauty
少一位都很少
One less face feels so few
这个寂寞 几多个脆弱
This loneliness, how many fragilities it holds
多一位都太多
One more face would be too many
一个市面 千副正面
One marketplace, a thousand faces shining
如集合在拍照
Like a gathering in a photo
这个在前 几多个在后
This one in front, several more in the back
少一位都太少
One less would be too few
