Текст и перевод песни 羅大佑 - 吉星高照

吉星高照

黄花岗有七十二个烈士
孔老夫子有七十二个弟子
孙悟空的魔法七十二变
我们又等到公元2001年
岁岁年年风水都在改变
有多少沧海一夜变成桑田
在这个五千年的悠久历史里面
成功与失败多少都有一点
清清楚楚写在你的脸上
你是个道道地地的聪明人
慌慌张张迈开你的脚步
你是个匆匆忙忙的现代人
有人默默耕耘默默从事
有人在过着他的太平日子
有人在大白天里彼此明争暗斗
随着都市现代化的程度
每个人多少追求一点幸福
是个什么样的心理因素
每年要吃掉一条高速公路
在西门町的天桥上面闲逛
有多少文明人在横行大声
就象我看到文明车辆横冲直撞
我不懂大家心中作何感想
一年过了又是新的一年
每一年现在都在传统边缘
在每个新的一年三百六十五天
我们多每天进步一点点
眼看着高楼盖得越来越高
我们的人情味却越来越薄
朋友之间越来越有礼貌
只因为大家见面越来越少
苹果价钱卖得没以前高
或许现在味道变得不好
就像彩色的电视变得更加花梢
能辨别黑白的人越来越少

一年过了又是新的一年
每一年现在都在传统边缘
在每个新的一年三百六十五天
我们多每天进步一点点
现实生活不能等待奇迹
这是个非常简单的道理
如果真要生存非常容易
只要你对人保持一点距离
但是生活不能像在演戏
你戴着面具如何面对自己
或许你将会真的发现一些奇迹
只要你抛开一些面子问题
或许你将会真的发现人生还算美丽
只要你抛开一些面子问题

Huang Hua Gang had 72 martyrs
Confucius had 72 disciples
Sun Wukong's magic had 72 transformations
We have arrived at the year 2001
Every year, the feng shui changes
How many peaks have turned into valleys overnight?
In 5000 years of our long history
Triumph and failure, we've seen it all
It's written clearly on your face
You're an authentically clever person
Rushing to start with hasty steps
You're a typical modern man
Some work earnestly and in obscurity
Some live contented lives
Some wage secret battles in broad daylight
As cities become more modernized
Everyone seeks a little bit of happiness
What's the psychological reason for this
We need to eat up a highway every year?
Strolling around on the Ximen Ding overpass
How many civilized people swagger around?
Just like the civilized vehicles that swerve and charge
I don't understand what others are really thinking
One year ends and a new one begins
Every year teeters on the edge of tradition
In every new year's 365 days
We've progressed a little bit each day
Witnessing the skyscrapers rise higher and higher
Yet human warmth has become thinner and thinner
Friends have grown increasingly polite
Simply because we see each other less and less
Apples are not as expensive as before
Maybe they're just not as flavorful these days
Color TVs have become ever more fancy
Fewer and fewer people can tell right from wrong

One year ends and a new one begins
Every year teeters on the edge of tradition
In every new year's 365 days
We've progressed a little bit each day
Life can't wait for miracles
That's a simple matter of fact
If you really must survive, it's quite easy
Just keep some distance from others
But life's not like acting in a play
How can you face yourself behind that mask?
Maybe you'll really see some wonders
If you could just let go of some of your pride
Maybe you'll really find life is beautiful yet
If you could just let go of some of your pride
