井 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

越来越冷 越来越湿 越来越黑

Getting colder, getting wetter, getting darker

井底的眼睛 抬望宇宙 陨落碎星

Eyes at the bottom of the well, looking up at the universe, falling star fragments

越来越远 越来越虚 越来越轻

Getting farther, emptier, lighter

我愿为情 黄泉下畅泳 你没有心领

I'm willing to swim beneath the afterlife for love, but you don't understand

呼吸一闭起 彷佛可以飞

When I hold my breath, I feel like I can fly

飘上天际空气

Soar into the sky, into the air

最后蓦然回头望这地 发现已死

Finally, I turn around suddenly and look at this land, realizing it's already dead

怎么苦恋到死 先想起转机

Why love so painfully to death, think of a breakthrough first

不必这样收尾

There's no need to end like this

我要是为情能沉下去

If I could stay deep in love

便有勇气一力 爬起

I'd have the courage to lift myself up with all my strength

越来越怨 越来越惨 越来越悲

Growing more resentful, more miserable, more sorrowful

井底的叫声 由大到弱 到没有声

Cries from the bottom of the well, weakening from loud to silent

越来越爱 越来越紧 越来越疯

Loving more deeply, tightening more, going crazier

这段剧情 弥留在脑内 播着也高兴

This scene lingers in my mind, played happily

呼吸一闭起 彷佛可以飞

When I hold my breath, I feel like I can fly

飘上天际空气

Soar into the sky, into the air

最后蓦然回头望这地 发现已死

Finally, I turn around suddenly and look at this land, realizing it's already dead

怎么苦恋到死 先想起转机

Why love so painfully to death, think of a breakthrough first

不必这样收尾

There's no need to end like this

我要是为情能沉下去

If I could stay deep in love

便有勇气一力 爬起

I'd have the courage to lift myself up with all my strength

芳心经已死 尸体不会飞

The beautiful heart is dead, the corpse won't fly

不要视为传奇

Don't see it as a legend

要是墓前能留下见地 记着爱己

If there’s insight left at the grave, remember to love yourself

不应偏执到死 先清楚记起

Don't be obsessively stubborn to death, remember clearly first

根本这是歪理

This is just a distorted logic

你会为情人挨完毒气

You would endure poison gas for your lover

但你却对生命 儿嬉

But you're playful about life
