Текст и перевод песни 刺猬樂隊 - 錢是萬能的

錢是萬能的

四岁前我住在二环里面
上学后就拆迁搬家到了三环边
往返西五环到大学毕业
人们说如今北京人都住在通县
曾经的我特别特别有钱
但我视如粪土内心只爱摇滚乐
穷是我必经的精神修炼
但是为何如今却总想毁灭世界
万能的钱 尊敬的钱
光彩照人的钱 温柔的钱
体贴的钱 死都不能没有钱
崇拜的钱 无敌的钱 至高无上的钱
痴迷的钱 不悔的钱 一切都还需要钱
人民挺胸昂首阔步向钱
描绘着完美的人生ATM取现
赢在起跑线后输在家庭条件
整整一代人的三观塌陷
北京时时刻刻都在改变
人们日新月异改头换面
今天还如昨天但不一定明天
只有胡同大娘一直都没变
还在骂街："哎呦 妈耶唉！"
吃喝的钱 玩乐的钱
无穷无尽无怨无悔的赚钱
嫖娼的钱 赌博的钱
太多到拉斯维加斯去洗钱
性命的钱 攸关的钱
这年头没什么不能没有钱
虚伪的钱 绝望的钱
全宇宙人民齐声唱："向前！ 想钱！ 向钱！" 我们不反对任何主义
因为弄死你就像弄死一只蚂蚁
偶尔犯上几次也会冒险参与
只因有些事让人实在看不下去
我们从不写政治歌曲
因为写了也没有意义
蛋里挑刺那偶尔几句
还不如对牛弹琴放屁
现在你就坐在我的对面
痛失真爱的人内心撕裂
再翻看往昔幸福的照片
就如同往伤口上面撒盐
人类本不才且天生命贱
自作自受不可活自作孽
还好上帝说有钱能改变一切
上帝还说你好再见

Money Is Omnipotent

I used to live within the second ring road before I was four
After starting school, I moved due to demolition and now live by the third ring road
I traveled back and forth from the west fifth ring road until I graduated from college
People say that nowadays, all the people from Beijing live in Tongzhou
I used to be very, very rich
But I treated it like dung and only loved rock'n'roll in my heart
Poverty is my essential spiritual training
But why do I always want to destroy the world nowadays?
Almighty money, respected money
Resplendent money, gentle money
Considerate money, you can't live without money even if you die
Adored money, invincible money, supreme money
Infatuated money, money without regrets, everything still needs money
The people hold their heads high and stride towards money
Depicting a perfect life of withdrawing money from ATMs
Winning at the starting line and then losing to family background
The complete collapse of the values of an entire generation
Beijing changes all the time
People change with each passing day, changing their appearances
Today is still like yesterday, but tomorrow might not be
Only the neighborhood aunties have stayed the same
Still gossiping, "Oh my goodness!"
Money for food and drinks, money for fun
Endless and tireless money-making
Money for prostitution, money for gambling
So much that I have to go to Las Vegas to launder it
Life-saving money, money of life and death
There's nothing you can't do without money these days
Hypocritical money, desperate money
People all over the universe sing in unison: "Forward! Money! Money!" We don't oppose any ideology
Because killing you is like killing an ant
We might occasionally take risks and get involved
Only because there are some things that people just can't stand to watch
We never write political songs
Because writing them is meaningless
Picking nits, those few occasional sentences
Might as well be playing the violin to a cow or farting
Now you're sitting right across from me
The person who's lost true love is heartbroken
Looking through old photos of happiness
Is like pouring salt on a wound
Humans are inherently mediocre and lowly
Deserving what they get, reaping what they sow
Thankfully, God said that money can change everything
God also said hello and goodbye
