哎呦 吉他谁教你的啊?
Eh-eh, who taught you to play the guitar?
哎呦 我生下来就会啦! 你不知道?
Eh-eh, I've known it since I was born! Didn't you know?
哎呦 屁啦!
Eh-eh, no way!
中国风的歌曲 有增无减
Songs in the Chinese style keep increasing, never decreasing.
是好是坏 问方文山最清楚
Whether it's good or bad, Fang Wenshan knows best.
从娘子唱到双截棍
From 'Niangzi' to 'Nunchaku',
东风破到发如雪
The East Wind blows, while my hair is as white as snow.
一路走来始终如一 多样的曲风
All the way here, I've stayed true, with diverse musical styles.
独爱中国风
I only love the Chinese style.
我坚持风格 我活在我的世界
I stick to my style, I live in my own world.
谁都插不上嘴
No one can butt in.
唱反调 是我的本性
Singing the opposite tune is in my nature.
出奇不意是我的个性
Being unexpected is part of my personality.
就算我站在山顶
Even when I stand at the mountain's peak,
也只不过是个平民老百姓
I'm still just an ordinary commoner.
但我的肩膀 会有两块空地
But on my shoulders, there are two spaces,
那就是勇气与毅力
Those are for courage and perseverance.
我要做音乐上的皇帝
I want to be the emperor of music.
哼哼哈兮 哼哼哈兮
Eh-eh, ha-hee, eh-eh, ha-hee.
哼哼哈兮 哼哼哈兮
Eh-eh, ha-hee, eh-eh, ha-hee.
下坡的路 不费功夫
The downhill path requires no effort,
别人已经帮你铺路
Others have already paved the way for you.
但我选择上坡
But I choose the uphill climb,
因为我取名叫自负
Because I've named myself Arrogance.
谦虚和那虚伪 就只差一个字
Humility and that falsehood differ by just one letter,
有时有点分不清
Sometimes it's hard to tell them apart.
因为我喜欢真实的自己
Because I embrace my true self,
我不能够后退 因为不是绿叶
I cannot retreat, for I'm not just a green leaf.
如果只是点缀 愿当皎洁明月
If I'm merely an embellishment, I wish to be the radiant moon.
小草等待风吹 不用靠你的背
The little grass waits for the wind, needing not your support.
假如天会很黑 我会请嫦娥奔月
If the sky turns dark, I'll ask Chang'e to run to the moon.
为什么写这首歌 我现在还找不到动机
Why I wrote this song, I still can't find the motivation.
不过用心听下去 你会觉得更有意义
But if you listen with your heart, you'll find it more meaningful.
如果你对未来产生恐惧
If you feel afraid of the future,
眼前雾蒙蒙一片
The mist before you is thick and dense.
那是因为你没把眼镜给擦干净
That's because you haven't cleaned your glasses.
勇敢走下去 这首歌会陪你前进
Bravely move forward, this song will accompany you on your journey.
我常常在想宇宙只有一颗太阳
I often ponder how the universe has only one sun.
为什么我的影子这么多 这么像
Why do I have so many shadows, all so alike?
战胜幻象 和我一样
Overcome the illusions, just like me.
喜欢模仿的朋友们 崇拜是件好事
Friends who like to imitate, admiration is a good thing.
欣赏是种美德 但走在我后面 我很担心
Appreciation is a virtue, but if you walk behind me, I'm quite concerned.
别人会看不见你
Others may not see you.
到最后只是一个接一个的分身
In the end, it's just a series of duplicates.
这样的鼓励 是否太直接 太讽刺
Is this kind of encouragement too direct, too ironic?
老师在讲 到底有没有在听啊
The teacher is speaking, but are you really listening?
我告诉你 做自己胜于跟太紧
Let me tell you, being yourself is better than clinging too tightly.
最大的敌人就是那内心的自己
The biggest enemy is that inner self.
我不能够后退 因为不是绿叶
I cannot retreat, for I'm not merely a green leaf.
如果只是点缀 愿当皎洁明月
If it's just for decoration, I wish to be the bright, pure moon.
小草等待风吹 不用靠你的背
The little grass awaits the wind, no need to lean on your back.
假如天会很黑 我会请嫦娥奔月
If the sky turns dark, I will ask Chang'e to fly to the moon.
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔喔
Eh-eh, oh-eh, eh-eh, oh-oh.
哎呦 不错喔
Eh-eh, not bad at all.
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔喔
Eh-eh, oh-eh, eh-eh, oh-oh.
哎呦 好久不见
Eh-eh, long time no see.
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔喔
Eh-eh, oh-eh, eh-eh, oh-oh.
哎呦 的意思是
Eh-eh, it means that...
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔喔
Eh-eh, oh-eh, eh-eh, oh-oh.
就是你没话讲的时候可以 哎呦
It's just that when you have nothing to say, you can go 'eh-eh'.
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔喔
Ayo ayo oh, ayo ayo oh oh
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔喔
Ayo ayo oh, ayo ayo oh oh
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔喔
Ayo ayo oh, ayo ayo oh oh
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔嘿
Ayo ayo oh, ayo ayo oh hey
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔喔
Ayo ayo oh, ayo ayo oh oh
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔喔
Ayo ayo oh, ayo ayo oh oh
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔喔
Ayo ayo oh, ayo ayo oh oh
哎呦哎呦喔 哎呦哎呦喔嘿
Ayo ayo oh, ayo ayo oh hey
