太阳之子 lyrics with English translation

作词：方文山 Vincent Fang

Lyricist: Vincent Fang

作曲：周杰伦 Jay Chou

Composer: Jay Chou

谁弹奏著灰黑协奏曲

Who plays the gray-black concerto?

蒙娜丽莎微笑著哭泣

The Mona Lisa smiles while she weeps

救赎来临前始终不语

Silent until redemption arrives

(解剖过去 谁的表情刻意

Dissecting the past, whose expression is so deliberate

松手前的鹅毛笔 指向线索的信)

The feathered brush before I let go points to the clue's message.

莎士比亚笔下的纯真

Innocence penned by Shakespeare

哈姆雷特花丛那歌声

The song echoes through the hamlet's bloom

火炬的光不照著剧本

The torchlight doesn't illuminate the script

(黑夜来袭 蝙蝠轰然离去

(As the night approaches, the bats suddenly fly away)

远方正邪在对立 黎明前谁参与）

(In the distance, good and evil stand opposed, who will join before dawn?)

雏菊紫罗兰飘散在风里

Daisies and violets drift upon the breeze

浮出水面的是不是真理

Is what surfaces the truth that we seek?

克林姆的吻是一种别离

A kiss from Klim is a kind of farewell

我就是光 照亮远方黑夜

I am the light, illuminating the distant night

我闯 马上将你击溃

I'll charge ahead, ready to overthrow you

如钢 把心魔都粉碎

Like steel, I’ll shatter all inner demons

不怯 不退 将邪恶都灭

Not afraid, not backing down, I will vanquish evil

光 照亮远方黑夜

Light, illuminating the distant night

我闯 恶梦灰飞烟灭

I charge into nightmares, turned to ash and smoke,

我扛 不管声嘶力竭

I endure, no matter how hoarse my voice becomes,

不怯 不退 将邪恶都灭

Unfazed, unyielding, I will extinguish the evil,

吧台后镜子里的世界

In the mirror behind the bar, what's the world like,

与你对话的人又是谁

Who is it that speaks with you, oh so slyly?

调了一杯迷惑的无解

Mixed a glass of perplexing riddles,

(笔触强烈 这张画的细节

(Brushstrokes bold, the details of this painting,

色调暗示著一切 线条却在分裂）

Shadows hint at everything, yet the lines are dividing.)

瞳孔里燃烧的向日葵

In my pupils, sunflowers burn bright,

孤独的夜游者等心碎

Lonely night wanderers await their hearts to break.

左耳纷乱中搁下是非

In the chaos of the left ear, judgments are set aside

(月光低垂 隆河上的星夜

(Moonlight hangs low over the starlit river night

教堂里有人告解 谁被吸干了血）

In the church, someone confesses, who has had their blood drained)

时间的钟被扭曲的声音

The sound of time's clock, distorted and bent

如同被折叠起来的表情

Like an expression folded in on itself

而我却在风中一路前行

Yet I press on, walking through the wind

我就是光 照亮远方黑夜

I am the light that brightens the distant night

我闯 马上将你击溃

I charge forth, ready to crush you

如钢 把心魔都粉碎

Like steel, shattering all demonic fears

不怯 不退 将邪恶都灭

Unafraid, unyielding, eradicating all evil

光 照亮远方黑夜

Light illuminates the distant dark night

我闯 恶梦灰飞烟灭

I charge forth, nightmares turn to dust

我扛 不管声嘶力竭

I bear it all, no matter how exhausted I get

不怯 不退 将邪恶都灭

Unfazed, unyielding, I'll vanquish all evil

我就是光 照亮远方黑夜

I am the light, shining on distant dark nights

我闯 马上将你击溃

I charge in, ready to strike you down

如钢 把心魔都粉碎

Like steel, I shatter the demons within

不怯 不退 将邪恶都灭

Unfazed, unyielding, I'll vanquish all evil

光 照亮远方黑夜

Light illuminates the distant dark night

我闯 恶梦灰飞烟灭

I charge forth, nightmares turn to dust

我扛 不管声嘶力竭

I bear it all, no matter how hoarse my voice becomes,

不怯 不退 将邪恶都灭

Unafraid, unyielding, I will vanquish all evil.
