我走在鼓楼下面 路在堵著
I walk beneath the Drum Tower, the road is blocked
雨后的阳光洒落 人们都出来了
Sunlight after the rain spills down, and people are all out
执著的迷惘的 文艺青年很多
Obstinate and bewildered, there are many artistic youths
如果我无聊了 就会来这里坐坐
If I feel bored, I come here to sit for a while
我是个沉默不语的 靠著墙壁晒太阳的过客
I'm a silent wanderer, soaking up the sun leaning against the wall
如果我有些倦意了 就让我在这里独自醒过
If I feel a bit weary, let me wake up here all alone
我站在鼓楼上面 一切繁华与我无关
I stand atop the Drum Tower, all the splendor has nothing to do with me
这是个拥挤的地方 而我却很平凡
This is a crowded place, yet I remain so ordinary
我走在鼓楼下面 淋湿的咖啡馆
I walk beneath the Drum Tower, the café is drenched
睡不著的后海边 月亮还在抽著烟
By the sleepless Houhai, the moon is still smoking a cigarette
喝醉的亲吻著 快活的人不眠
Drunken kisses, happy souls can't find sleep,
唯有我倚著围栏 对过往说晚安
Only I lean on the railing, bidding the past goodnight.
我是个沉默不语的 靠著车窗想念你的乘客
I'm a silent passenger, leaning by the window, missing you.
当107路再次经过 时间是带走青春的电车
When the 107 bus passes by again, time is the tram that takes away youth.
我站在什刹海边 一切甜蜜与我无关
I stand by Shichahai, where all sweetness is lost to me.
这是个拥挤的地方 而我却很孤单
This is a crowded place, yet I feel so alone.
我在鼓楼（我在鼓楼）
I'm at the Drum Tower (I'm at the Drum Tower),
我在鼓楼（我在鼓楼）
I'm at the Drum Tower (I'm at the Drum Tower),
我在鼓楼（我在鼓楼）
I'm at the Drum Tower (I'm at the Drum Tower),
我在鼓楼（我在鼓楼）
I'm at the Drum Tower (I'm at the Drum Tower).
我在鼓楼（我在鼓楼）
I'm at the drum tower (I'm at the drum tower)
我在鼓楼（我在鼓楼）
I'm at the drum tower (I'm at the drum tower)
