Lyrics

[SUNG VERSE 1: ]

漂向北方 別問我家鄉

Piāo xìang běifāng bié wèn wǒ jiāxiāng

(I'm) wandering north, don't ask me about my hometown

高聳古老的城牆 擋不住憂傷

Gāosǒng gǔlǎo de chéngqíang dǎng bù zhù yōushāng

The towering ancient walls can't block out (my) sorrow

我漂向北方 家人是否無恙

Wǒ piāo xìang běifāng jiārén shìfǒu wúyàng

(I'm) wandring north, is (my) family alright?

肩上沉重的行囊 盛滿了惆悵

Jiān shàng chénzhòng de xíngnāng shèng mǎnle chóuchàng

The heavy parcel on my shoulders is full of despair

[RAP 1: ]

有人說他在老家欠了一堆錢 需要避避風頭

Yǒurén shuō tā zài lǎojiā qìanle yī duī qían xūyào bì bìfēng tóu

Some people say that his family owed a lot of money, and he needed to run away

有人說他練就了一身武藝卻沒機會嶄露

Yǒurén shuō tā lìan jìule yīshēn wǔyì què méi jīhùi zhǎn lù

Some people said that he practiced his martial arts for a long time, but did not have a chance to display them

有人失去了自我 手足無措四處漂流

Yǒurén shīqùle zìwǒ shǒuzúwúcuò sìchù piāolíu

Some people have lost themselves, aimlessly floating around

有人為了夢想為了三餐為養家糊口

Yǒurén wéi le mèngxiǎng wèile sān cān wèi yǎngjiā húkǒu

Some people (are doing this) for the sake of their dreams, for three square meals, or in order to raise their families

他住在燕郊區 殘破的求職公寓

Tā zhù zài yànjiāo qū cánpò dì qíuzhí gōngyù

He lives in the Swallow (Yan) Suburbs, a broken-down apartment building for job seekers

擁擠的大樓裡 堆滿陌生人都來自外地

Yǒngjǐ de dàlóu li duī mǎn mòshēng rén dōu láizì wàidì

The cramped apartment is full of foreigners from out of town

他埋頭寫著履歷 懷抱著多少憧憬

Tā máitóu xiězhe lǚlì húaibàozhe duōshǎo chōngjǐng

He lowers his head to write his resume, holding on to so much hope

往返在九三零號公路 內心盼著奇蹟

Wǎngfǎn zài jiǔsān líng hào gōnglù nèixīn pànzhe qíjī

(He) paces back and forth on 930th Street, hoping for a miracle

在遠方 (椰子樹搖晃 夢境倒映著的幻象)

Zài yuǎnfāng (yē zǐ shù yáohùang mèngjìng dàoyìngzhe de hùanxìang)

Are far away (coconut trees are swaying, in the hallucinations brought on by dreams)

這城市 (霧霾太猖狂 不散 都看不清前方)

Zhè chéngshì (wù mái tài chāngkúang bú sàn dōu kàn bù qīng qíanfāng)

This city (the fog is too thick, it won't go away, (I) cannot see in front of me)

The walkways are full of pair after pair of cold eyes

他經常將自己灌醉 強迫融入 這大染缸

Tā jīngcháng jiāng zìjǐ gùan zùi qiǎngpò róngrù zhè dà rǎngāng

He often gets himself drunk to force himself to adapt to this big melting pot

走著腳步蹣跚 二鍋頭在搖晃

Zǒuzhe jiǎobù pánshān èrguōtóu zài yáohùang

(He) is staggering drunk, the alcohol bottle is swaying (in his hands)

失意的人啊偶爾醉倒在那胡同陋巷

Shīyì de rén a ǒu'ěr zùi dào zài nà hútòng lòuxìang

Dejected people often fall down drunk in that alley

咀嚼爆肚涮羊 手中盛著一碗熱湯

Just like dust floating in the wind, who can lead me to fly along?

I stand in the middle of the Temple of Heaven and close my eyes, praying that my family is okay

走在前門大街 跟人潮 總會分歧

Zǒu zài qíanmén dàjiē gēn réncháo zǒng hùi fēnqí

Walking in the public streets with the mass of humanity, disagreements are inevitable

或許我根本不屬於這裡 早就該離去
