Lyrics and translation 李泉 - 花花大世界

花花大世界

洋人与狗走在外滩上散步
黄包车寂静的穿过
亨得利表店隐约的算盘声
嘀嗒着时光的价钱
弹落掉老刀牌香烟的灰烬
丁香楼已换了佳人
再没人梳起时髦的爱司头
再没人 约她去百乐门
花花大世界
飞起多少鸳鸯蝴蝶乌鸦麻雀
灯火阑珊夜
掠过多少金粉银光啼笑风月
梧桐树遮住了石库门女人
弄堂里有三黄鸡味道
谁见过赫德路上的旧身影
惊起了 十八春的沉香
花花大世界
飞起多少鸳鸯蝴蝶乌鸦麻雀
灯火阑珊夜
掠过多少金粉银光啼笑风月

花花大世界
飞起多少鸳鸯蝴蝶乌鸦麻雀
灯火阑珊夜
掠过多少金粉银光啼笑风月

Bright Lights, Big City

Foreigners and dogs walked along the Bund
The rickshaw passed by silently
The faint sound of an abacus from the Henderson watch shop
Ticking away the cost of time
Knocking off the ash of an Old Knife brand cigarette
The Cloisonne Tower has changed hands again
No one combs their hair in the fashionable Astor style anymore
No one invites her to the Paramount anymore
Bright Lights, Big City
So many lovers, butterflies, crows, and sparrows taking flight
Night of flickering lights
So many golden and silver halos, laughter and tears under the moon
The sycamore trees hide away the women of Shikumen
The alleyways smell of yellow chicken
Who has seen the old figure on Hardoon Road?
Awakening the sweet scent of Eighteen Springs
Bright Lights, Big City
So many lovers, butterflies, crows, and sparrows taking flight
Night of flickering lights
So many golden and silver halos, laughter and tears under the moon

Bright Lights, Big City
So many lovers, butterflies, crows, and sparrows taking flight
Night of flickering lights
So many golden and silver halos, laughter and tears under the moon
