[English]

Lying on the hospital bed, I don't even want to move

Looking at the face on the screen

A stranger appeared for less than a minute

He holds a cape, playing the dragon

He wears a smile, living out an ordinary dream

Does anyone know his name or if his life is ordinary or not?

Thank you, stranger, for calming my headache

Across the sea, bringing smiles

Becoming my hero in this lonely world

He moves me, who cares if he's famous or not

He knows he's useful, who cares if he's poor or not

Does his past or future success or failure matter? No one knows

Whether he has a headache or not, someone is trying hard like this, I feel proud

My headache is gone, just surviving makes me fearless

No one understands pain, love isn't enough, but I am still valuable

No one understands what I think, no one sings my praises, but someone will be moved

An anonymous actor, whether or not there's an audience, thank you

Hollywood is the dream of actors

Shining with a rainbow that's too distant

Maybe he's from a small alley, and he can't understand

He moves me, who cares if he's famous or not

He knows he's useful, who cares if he's poor or not

Does his past or future success or failure matter? No one knows, no one knows

Whether he has a headache or not, someone is trying hard like this, I feel proud

My headache is gone, just surviving makes me fearless

No one understands pain, love isn't enough, but I am still valuable

No one understands what I think, no one sings my praises, but someone will be touched

An anonymous actor, whether or not there's an audience, thank you

Whether he has a headache or not, someone is trying hard like this, I feel proud

My headache is gone, just surviving makes me fearless

No one understands pain, love isn't enough, but I am still valuable

No one understands what I think, no one sings my praises, but someone will be touched

An anonymous actor, whether or not there's an audience, thank you, thank you

[Chinese]

躺在病床上動也不想動

看著螢幕上的臉孔

有個陌生人出現不夠一分鐘

他拿著一件斗篷 扮演著一條龍

他帶著一臉笑容 演活平凡的夢

到底他的名字他的生活普通不普通 沒人懂

感謝陌生人陪我偏頭痛

漂洋過海帶來笑容

寂寞天地中成為我的大英雄

他能夠讓我感動 誰管他紅不紅

他知道自己有用 誰管窮不窮

到底他的過去他的未來成功不成功 沒人懂

管他頭痛不頭痛 有人這樣努力 我只覺得光榮

我的頭痛不再痛 能夠生存就有恃無恐

苦痛說了沒人懂 愛人沒有用 我一樣很有用

我想什麼沒人懂 沒有人歌頌 總有人被感動

不具名的演員不管有沒有觀眾 謝謝儂

好萊塢是演員們的美夢

亮著太遙遠的彩虹

可能來自小胡同的他看不懂

他能夠讓我感動 誰管他紅不紅

他知道自己有用 誰管他窮不窮

到底他的過去他的未來成功不成功 沒人懂 沒人懂

管他頭痛不頭痛 有人這樣努力 我只覺得光榮

我的頭痛不再痛 能夠生存就有恃無恐

苦痛說了沒人懂 愛人沒有用 我一樣很有用

我想什麼沒人懂 沒有人歌頌 總有人被感動

不具名的演員不管有沒有觀眾 謝謝儂

管他頭痛不頭痛 有人這樣努力 我只覺得光榮

我的頭痛不再痛 能夠生存就有恃無恐

苦痛說了沒人懂 愛人沒有用 我一樣很有用

我想什麼沒人懂 沒有人歌頌 總有人被感動

不具名的演員不管有沒有觀眾 謝謝儂 謝謝儂
