[English]

Who's so bored using a magnifying glass to see the scenery, aren't you tired?

But forgot to see clearly who you are

My universe is light and beautiful, teetering on the edge

Passersby come and go, like clouds and flowing water

...

Blurry vision, doesn't matter if the sky is dark

If you have no demons in your heart, then no need to be wary everywhere

Rainy, doesn't matter how deep the love is, as long as it's tipsy

Beautiful or not, only depends on whether you can love ambiguously

...

Oh, you can't learn unless you're drunk

As long as I believe it, then it's not a misunderstanding

Everyone's a treasure, what is true or false?

What is right and wrong are all seemingly so

Looking at the world through drunken eyes, the world indulges with me

...

In this hazy world, there aren't so many rights and wrongs

Right or wrong, only depends on how you portray your state of mind

I shed my sweat, gorgeously like a shower of heavenly flowers

Sweet or not, who can taste it for me?

...

Oh, you can't learn unless you're drunk

As long as I believe it, then it's not a misunderstanding

Everyone's a treasure, what is true or false?

What is right and wrong are all seemingly so

Looking at the world through drunken eyes, the world indulges with me

Seeing very trivial things, but nothing matters

Can't see fate, only see the Lagerstroemia indica

Only see beauty, can't see absolutes

The best taste is the one that makes you ponder

Chaotic, like a hazy poem

...

Only through ignorance can you understand hazy beauty

As long as I believe it, then it's not a misunderstanding

Everyone's a treasure, what is true or false?

What is right and wrong are all seemingly so

Looking at the world through drunken eyes, the world indulges with me

Seeing very trivial things, but nothing matters

Can't see fate, only see the Lagerstroemia indica

Only see beauty, can't see absolutes

The best taste is the one that makes you ponder

...

[Chinese]

誰無聊拿放大鏡 看風景累不累

卻忘記了 看清楚自己是誰

我的宇宙輕飄飄 美得搖搖欲墜

旁人來來去去 像行雲流水

模糊糊的視線 不管天色黑不黑

心中沒鬼 就不用處處防備

雨濛濛 情深不深 只要醉醺醺的

美不美 只看能否愛得曖昧

哦 不醉 就學不會

只要我以為 就不是誤會

誰都是寶貝 有什麼真偽

什麼是是非 都似是而非

醉眼看世界 世界隨我陶醉

迷茫茫的天地 沒那麼多對不對

錯不錯 只看心境怎麼描繪

我流我的汗水 華麗如天花亂墜

甜不甜美 誰能代我去品味

哦 不醉 就學不會

只要我以為 就不是誤會

誰都是寶貝 有什麼真偽

什麼是是非 都似是而非

醉眼看世界 世界隨我陶醉

看的很瑣碎 都沒有所謂

看不到命運 只看到紫薇

只看到絕色 看不到絕對

最好的滋味 就是耐人尋味

亂紛紛 像一首朦朧詩

懵懂懂 才懂得朦朧美

只要我以為 就不是誤會

誰都是寶貝 有什麼真偽

什麼是是非 都似是而非

醉眼看世界 世界隨我陶醉

看的很瑣碎 都沒有所謂

看不到命運 只看到紫薇

只看到絕色 看不到絕對

最好的滋味 就是耐人尋味
