Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

即使你降生的 時世沒選擇

Even if where you are born wasn't chosen by you

人間再蒼白 容得下想法

The world may be pale, but it can still hold your dreams

世界藍圖 只等你畫上 恐龍和巨塔

The world’s blueprint is waiting for you to draw—dinosaurs and giant towers

天下 仍是你畫冊

The whole world is still your picture book

想得到煙花 馬上有煙花

Want to see fireworks? Here they come

你未看到嗎

Haven’t you seen yet?

城堡靠想像 仍可再攀爬

Castles are built from imagination, still climbable

流亡荒野 眼前都有

In exile in the wilderness, everything’s in front of us

遊園地𥚃 那羣木馬

Inside the amusement park, those wooden horses

置身廢城

Placed within an abandoned city

仍可建造

Can still be built anew

人類最夢幻

Humanity’s most dreamlike

剎那

In a moment

聽得見過山車 由遠漸駛近

Hear the roller coaster approaching from afar

來裝載深夜 仍等待的人

Carrying the night’s dreams, still waiting for those who remain

生活有時殘酷 至少這樂園 永不宵禁

Life can be cruel sometimes, but at least this amusement park never has a curfew

曾迷路的羊羣 仍能被它的光 帶引

The lost flock of sheep can still be guided by its light

想得到煙花 馬上有煙花

Want to see fireworks? Here they come

你未看到嗎

Haven’t you seen yet?

城堡靠想像 仍可再攀爬

Castles are built from imagination, still climbable

流亡荒野 眼前都有

In exile in the wilderness, everything’s in front of us

永恆在轉 那羣木馬

Eternal moments turn—those wooden horses

長大 如遺落了它 我會害怕

Growing up, like I’ve lost them, I’ll be afraid

遊歷過成人世界 誰沒有無形傷疤

Having traveled through the adult world, who doesn't have invisible scars?

想它變真嗎

Does it wish to become real?

每日挖點沙

Digging some sand every day

按部砌好它

Building it piece by piece

如果有一日

If one day

毋須再隱形

We no longer need to be invisible

孩童能嬉戲再無牽掛

Children can play freely without worries

蓬萊實現在舊日敗瓦

Penglai is now in the ruins of the past

希望

Hope

是遠征未來

Is for the adventure into the future

那隻木馬

That wooden horse
