尼罗河悄悄漫过纸莎草
The Nile quietly flows over the papyrus
蜿蜒像一袭不带感情的纱袍
Winding like an emotionless silk robe
而妳穿上后转身为我舞蹈
And you turn around to dance for me once you put it on
为寂寥的大地舞一场惊叹号
Dancing a stunning exclamation mark for the lonely earth
黄昏燃烧金字塔上的云角 人面狮身的下影子在预兆
Dusk ignites the clouds atop the pyramid, the shadow of the man-lion is a portent
石阶上焚著油膏在我国度里 堆积了几个世纪的尘嚣
On the stone steps, oil is burning in my kingdom, accumulating centuries of dust and noise
在羊皮卷角 古老的明了
In the corners of the parchment, ancient wisdom is clear
谁都逃不掉 天平上的烦恼
No one can escape the worries on the scales
妳微微的笑 赤足又扭腰
Your slight smile, bare-footed and swaying your hips
朝著命运凿出一道美艳的符号
Carving a beautiful symbol in the face of destiny
来找我 找不到我
Come find me, but you can't find me
你那迷路的眼眸 (那迷路的眼眸 找不到我)
Your lost gaze (that lost gaze can't find me)
跟著我 被我诱惑
Follow me, let me seduce you
众神都已著了魔 (众神都著了魔 被我诱惑)
All the gods have fallen under my spell (the gods are enchanted by my allure)
说爱我 爱不爱我
Say you love me, do you love me?
你那王者的沉默 (那王者的沉默 爱不爱我)
Your royal silence (that royal silence, do you love me?)
看著我 被我诱惑
Look at me, let me seduce you
你的灵魂属于我 (你灵魂属于我 被我诱惑)
Your soul belongs to me (your soul belongs to me, seduced by me)
尼罗河悄悄漫过纸莎草
The Nile quietly flows over the papyrus
蜿蜒像一袭不带感情的纱袍
Winding like an emotionless robe of silk
而妳穿上后转身为我舞蹈
And you turn to dance for me after putting it on
为寂寥的大地舞一场惊叹号
To dance a marvel for the lonely earth
黄昏燃烧金字塔上的云角 人面狮身的下影子在预兆
Dusk ignites the cloud corners of the pyramids, the shadow of the sphinx foretells
石阶上焚著油膏在我国度里 堆积了几个世纪的尘嚣
On the stone steps, an oil balm burns in my realm, gathering centuries of dust
在羊皮卷角 古老的明了
In the corners of the parchment, ancient clarity
谁都逃不掉 天平上的烦恼
No one can escape the troubles on the scales
妳微微的笑 赤足又扭腰
Your slight smile, barefoot and swaying
朝著命运凿出一道美艳的符号
Carving out a stunning symbol toward destiny
来找我 找不到我
Come find me, but you can't find me
你那迷路的眼眸 (那迷路的眼眸 找不到我)
Your lost gaze (that lost gaze can't find me)
跟著我 被我诱惑
Follow me, be lured by me,
众神都已著了魔 (众神都著了魔 被我诱惑)
All the gods have fallen under my spell (the gods are enchanted, lured by me),
说爱我 爱不爱我
Say you love me, do you love me?,
你那王者的沉默 (那王者的沉默 爱不爱我)
Your regal silence, (that regal silence, do you love me?),
看著我 被我诱惑
Look at me, be lured by me,
你的灵魂属于我 (你灵魂属于我 被我诱惑)
Your soul belongs to me, (your soul belongs to me, lured by me),
找我 找不到我
Search for me, yet can't find me,
你那迷路的眼眸 (那迷路的眼眸 找不到我)
Your lost gaze, (that lost gaze, can't find me),
跟著我 被我诱惑
Follow me, be lured by me,
众神都已著了魔 (众神都著了魔 被我诱惑)
All the gods have fallen under my spell (the gods are enchanted, lured by me)
说爱我 爱不爱我
Say you love me, do you love me?
你那王者的沉默 (那王者的沉默 爱不爱我)
Your royal silence (that royal silence, do you love me?)
看著我 被我诱惑
Look at me, drawn in by my charm.
你的灵魂属于我 (你灵魂属于我 被我诱惑)
Your soul belongs to me (your soul belongs to me, drawn in by my charm.)
