Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

"We are magic," he said

“我们是魔法，”他说

But don't let it all go to your head

但别让它冲昏了头脑

Cause I bet if you all had it all figured out

因为我敢打赌，如果你们都把一切都想明白了

Then you'd never get out of bed

那你们就永远不会起床了

No doubt

毫无疑问

Of all the things that I've read what he wrote me

在我读过的所有东西里，他写给我的

Is now sounding like the man I was hoping

现在听起来像我希望成为的那种人

To be

成为

I keep on keeping it real

我一直保持真我

Cause it keeps getting easier, he'll see

因为这会变得越来越容易，他会明白的

He's the reason that I'm laughing

他是我欢笑的理由

Even if there's no one else

即使没有其他人在身边

He said, you've got to love yourself

他说，你必须要爱自己

...

...

You say, you shouldn't mumble when you speak

你说，说话的时候不要嘟囔

But keep your tongue up in your cheek

但要保持幽默感（字面：把舌头放在脸颊里）

And if you stumble on to something better

如果你偶然发现了更好的东西

Remember that it's humble that you seek

记住你所追求的是谦逊

You got all the skill you need

Individuality

You got something

Call it gumption

Call it anything you want

Because when you play the fool now

You're only fooling everyone else

You're learning to love yourself

Yes you are, you are, it's you...

是的，是你，是你，就是你...

There's no price to pay (no, no)

When you give and what you take

That's why it's easy to thank you

You, you...

Let's say take a break from our day

不如让我们从今天的工作中抽身

And get ['n] back to the old garage

回到那间旧车库

Because life's too short anyway

But at least it's better then average

但至少它比平庸更好

As long as you got me

And I got you

You know we've got a lot to go around

I'll be your friend

Another love to come and comfort you-oo-oo

Survey the state of the soul

Shake it, take control and inevitably wind up fighting for yourself
