Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

月光 放肆在染色的窗邊

Moonlight recklessly spills by the stained window

塵煙 魔幻所有視覺

Dust and smoke create a magical vision

再一杯 那古老神秘恆河水

Another cup of that ancient, mysterious Ganges water

我鑲在額頭的貓眼 揭開了慶典

The cat's eye embedded in my forehead reveals the celebration

為愛囚禁 數千年的關節

Imprisoned for love, the joints of thousands of years

正訴說 遺忘的愛戀

Are telling the forgotten romance

聽所有喜悲 繫在我的腰間

Listening to all joys and sorrows tied around my waist

讓那些畫面再出現 再回到從前

Let those images reappear, return to the past

旋轉 跳躍 我閉著眼

Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes

塵囂看不見 你沉醉了沒

The noise is unseen, are you intoxicated?

白雪 夏夜 我不停歇

White snow, summer nights, I never rest

模糊了年歲 時光的沙漏被我踩碎

Blurring the years, I crush the hourglass of time

...

...

故事 刻畫在旋轉的指尖

Stories etched on spinning fingertips

是誰 在痴痴的追隨

Who is following me with such longing?

這一夜 那破舊皇宮的台階

This night, the steps of the old palace

我忘情抖落的汗水 點亮了慶典

The sweat I shake off in passion lights up the celebration

一層一層把我 緊緊包圍

Layer by layer, I am tightly surrounded

我要讓世界 忘了睡

I want the world to forget to sleep

你的心事倒影在 我的眉間

Your thoughts reflected between my brows

放棄的快樂都實現 難過都摧毀

The happiness I gave up has all come true, the sadness is all destroyed

旋轉 跳躍 我閉著眼

Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes

塵囂看不見 你沉醉了沒

The noise is unseen, are you intoxicated?

白雪 夏夜 我不停歇

White snow, summer nights, I never rest

模糊了年歲 舞孃的喜悲沒人看見

Blurring the years, the joys and sorrows of the dancer go unseen

...

...

時光的沙漏被我踩碎

I crush the hourglass of time

...

...

舞孃的喜悲沒人看見

The joys and sorrows of the dancer go unseen

旋轉 旋轉 旋轉

Spinning, spinning, spinning

旋轉 旋轉 旋轉

Spinning, spinning, spinning

所有喜悲 寫在我的眼前

All joys and sorrows are written before my eyes

讓那些畫面再出現 回到從前

Let those images reappear, return to the past

回到從前

Return to the past

旋轉 跳躍 我閉著眼

Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes

塵囂看不見 你沉醉了沒

The noise is unseen, are you intoxicated?

白雪 夏夜 我不停歇

White snow, summer nights, I never rest

模糊了年歲 時光的沙漏被我踩碎

Blurring the years, I crush the hourglass of time

旋轉 跳躍 我閉著眼

Spinning, jumping, I close my eyes

塵囂看不見 你沉醉了沒

The noise is unseen, are you intoxicated?

白雪 夏夜 我不停歇

White snow, summer nights, I never rest

模糊了年歲 舞孃的喜悲沒人看見

Blurring the years, the joys and sorrows of the dancer go unseen
