Lyrics and translation 張懸 - 城市

城市

夜裡回憶是白天川流來往此刻偶經的車
活著 時光如水經過
你捧 常想起渴有多渴

喜悅與傷痛是命運於社交中當時多嘴的舌
聊遍了所有萬千的臉色
還是在等一瞬間的心動

人們火熱 宗教理想娛樂
而我愛你 你可能記得？
我們相濡以沫長大後看晚餐時的 TV show

夜裡回憶是白天川流來往，此刻廣播裡的歌
活著 時光如水冷熱
你喝 仍常想渴能有多渴

人與蟬 蟬與狗 狗與深夜衝撞高處街燈的蛾
所有浮生裡萬千的臉孔
讓我因為你們隆重

你多難得 城市繼續轉動
而我愛你 你可要記得
容納我們共同的飢餓 握手後再奔波

人們懂的 激情後各自沈默
而我愛你 但不因你而什麼
我們今曾與共交織於城市你的流行歌

(在土地上的 歸神所有
在土地上的 花開有爾
落在土地上的 腐敗後成為肥沃)

人們火熱 城市 何必寂寞
我多愛你 但不因你而什麼
時光穿梭 我們不在左右只在彼此其中

讓我承諾 我盡情不求自由
我多愛你 我不隨你而怎麼
從此今曾與共交織於城市你的流行歌

City

Memories at night are day stream, cars now passing by
Living, time flows by like water
You cherish it, often think how thirsty you are

Joy and sorrow are fate, in society, the talkative tongue
Chatted through all the thousands of expressions
Still waiting for a moment's heartbeat

People are passionate, religion, ideals, entertainment
And I love you, do you remember?
We shared our joys and sorrows, growing up watching TV shows at dinner

Memories at night are day stream, now the songs on the radio
Living, time flows by like water, hot and cold
You drink it, still wondering how thirsty you can be

People and cicadas, cicadas and dogs, dogs and the moth that flies into the street lamp at night
All the thousands of faces in life's journey
Make me feel honored because of you

You are so rare, the city keeps turning
And I love you, please remember
Tolerate our common hunger, shake hands and rush again

People understand, after passion, everyone is silent
And I love you, but not for what you are
We once shared the city, your pop songs

(On the land, belong to God
On the land, flowers bloom for you
On the land, decay becomes fertile)

People are passionate, why is the city lonely?
I love you so much, but not because of what you are
Time flies, we are not around, only in each other

Let me promise, I will be unrestrained, not seeking freedom
I love you so much, I will not follow you
From now on, we have shared the city, your pop songs
