Lyrics and translation 周子琰 - 紅綠燈

紅綠燈

同样的目的地
可能因为一个红灯

会有不同的路程
有人按图索骥
有人选择了小胡同
走了不同的里程
他遇到场堵车
加速跑却引来车祸
你一路很畅通
最先到达了目的地
却没空欣赏过程
北京纽约 都堵在早晨九点
司机抽着烟 乘客黑着脸
广播嘻嘻哈哈话早间 一天接一年
爱人敌人 随时都可能碰面
一会儿红着脸 一会儿青着脸
透过玻璃车窗看世界 每天都在变
斑马线的白色
间隔了故事的离合
是谁在踩下离合
道路越来越多

那些结伴而行的人
在汹涌中走散了
他骑单车经过
那些曾喧哗的角落
你在地铁穿梭
城市最黑暗的脉络没有信号闪烁
北京纽约 都堵在早晨九点
司机抽着烟 乘客黑着脸
广播嘻嘻哈哈话早间 一天接一年
爱人敌人 随时都可能碰面
一会儿红着脸 一会儿青着脸
透过玻璃车窗看世界 每天都在变
交替之间 有几秒绿灯出现
有人停下来 有人走向前
谁与你我打了个照面
就在 一念之间

Traffic Light

The same destination
Perhaps because of a red light

There will be different journeys
Some follow the map
Some choose the alley
Took different mileage
He encountered a traffic jam
Accelerating caused a car accident
Your way is smooth
Reached the destination first
But no time to enjoy the process
Beijing, New York, both stuck at nine in the morning
The driver smokes, the passenger has a black face
The radio talks about the morning year after year
Lovers and enemies may meet at any time
Blushing for a while, turning pale for a while
Watching the world through the glass window, changing every day
The white of the zebra crossing
Separating the story's union and separation
Who stepped on the clutch
There are more and more roads

Those who traveled together
Got separated in the rush
He rode a bicycle through
Those once noisy corners
You shuttle in the subway
The darkest veins of the city have no signal lights
Beijing, New York, both stuck at nine in the morning
The driver smokes, the passenger has a black face
The radio talks about the morning year after year
Lovers and enemies may meet at any time
Blushing for a while, turning pale for a while
Watching the world through the glass window, changing every day
There is a few seconds of green light between the alternations
Some stop, some move forward
Who had a glimpse of you and me
Just in a moment
