Lyrics and translation 路嘉欣 - Manzhouli

Manzhouli

一座美麗島嶼
天空很藍沒有雲
海面有一架 玻璃鋼琴
人魚跳過火圈 成影

戰馬旋轉樂園
吃草羊群不問輸贏
最近好嗎 我不問你
因為最好的 世界已過去

未來的世界你給不起 給不起
未來的世界你給不起 他心中那片
滿洲里 滿洲里
暴風雨
暴風雨後的寧靜
請輕放啊 請輕放啊
難能不易 是易碎品
我到了嗎 那滿州里

玫瑰玫瑰我愛你
曇花一現 百花不語
快樂的波斯菊 才剛醒
枝葉記得修剪 之間芽距

水仙少年依然孤清
活活愛死了自己
最近好嗎 他不回答
因為最好的 世界已過去

未來的世界你給不起 給不起
未來的世界你給不起 他心中那片
滿洲里 滿洲里
暴風雨
暴風雨後的寧靜
請輕放啊 請輕放啊
難能不易 是易碎品
我到了嗎 那滿州里

做孤島也容易對世界太深情
恨記憶太猶新對世界還深情
請輕放啊 請輕放啊
所有文明 留個善意
再移居到那 那滿州里

到了沒啊 那滿州里
到了沒啊 那滿州里

Manzhouli

An island of beauty,
With a cloudless sky.
Upon the sea, a piano of glass,
Where mermaids leap through hoops of fire, leaving a shadow.

A carousel of warhorses
and grazing sheep who don't ask who's winning
My dearest, how are you? I dare not ask
For the best of our world has passed.

The world of the future you cannot give
The world of the future you cannot give, that realm
Of Manzhouli, Manzhouli
A tempest
And the calm after a storm
Oh, how gently, how gently must I tread
This precious, fragile thing.
Have I reached it, that Manzhouli?

Roses, roses, I love you.
A昙花一現, while other flowers are silent.
A cheerful daisy, just opened its eyes
Its leaves must be trimmed, with space between each bud.

The narcissistic youth remains aloof
Lost in his obsessive self-love.
My darling, how are you? He does not answer.
For the best of our world has passed.

The world of the future you cannot give
The world of the future you cannot give, that realm
Of Manzhouli, Manzhouli
A tempest
And the calm after a storm
Oh, how gently, how gently must I tread
This precious, fragile thing.
Have I reached it, that Manzhouli?

To be an isolated island is simple, when one loves the world too deeply.
I regret the freshness of my memories, for my heart still loves the world so.
Step softly, step softly
Let us preserve what little civilization is left
And move on, to that Manzhouli

Have I arrived at Manzhouli?
Have I arrived at Manzhouli?
