Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

意識一早超脫 情愛這東西

My consciousness has long transcended, love and all that stuff

越過了天地 並未眷戀螻蟻

I've crossed the heavens and earth, without appreciating the ants

沒有光陰跟遠近 我是叢電波 破天際

No matter the time or distance, I am a burst of radio waves breaking through the sky

但你的召喚 讓我將功德放低

But your summon makes me lower my merits

為你呱呱出世 回到這身體

Born for you, returning to this body

自降四千等 為覓人類一吻 作謝禮

Lower myself by four thousand years to seek a human kiss as thanks

誰話愛戀 苦海濟世 會創造奇蹟 將蒼生撫慰

Who says love healing the world can create miracles, soothe all beings

被你吸引 讓我當初失智慧

You're so attractive that I lost my wisdom at the start

這宇宙 這種深情根本虛構

This universe, this deep love is just a fiction

失了足 才會跌落你的地球

Lost my footing, then I fell onto your Earth

目光遠大如我 你有限維度裡 看春秋

With a vision as vast as mine, within your limited dimensions, I see spring and autumn

很後悔 但愛死方會得救

Regretful, but only dying in love can save me

...

...

為了找到真愛 尋遍每粒沙

To find true love, I search every grain of sand

住進你的家 就為明白這叫 錯誤嗎

Moving into your home just to understand, is this called a mistake?

求做對簡單的愛侶 與你歷其境 方知多可怕

Hoping to become simple lovers, experiencing life with you, then you'll see how terrifying it really is

沒法擺脫 俗套的分手戲碼

Unable to escape the cliché breakup routines

這宇宙 這種深情根本虛構

This universe, this deep love is just a fiction

失了足 才會跌落你的地球

Lost my footing, then I fell into your gentle embrace

上天已難回去 我似被囚在你 那春秋

Heaven is hard to return to, I feel trapped in your spring and autumn

不恨你 恨我太晚參透

No hatred for you, only regret I understood too late

親手作孽 惡果他人怎可解救

Self-created sins, how can others undo the consequences

貪怨癡 要葬在你的地球

Greed and obsession, buried in your earth

為了擁抱你 換這雙手

To hold you, I exchange these hands

一早已 被切去兩翼 禁飛走

All along I’ve been cut of my wings, unable to fly away

這樣勇 試問你可能夠

Is this bravery enough? Can you really ask?

自絕位列仙班 都不算太內疚

Denying my divine status, not feeling too guilty

但愛到欠自我 我笑我下流

But loving myself too much, I laugh at my vulgarity

這宇宙 這種深情根本虛構

This universe, this deep love is just a fiction

失了足 才會跌入你的溫柔

Lost my footing, then I fell into your tenderness

在你的結界 盪過韆鞦

In your barrier, swinging on a swing

我便無力 再看北斗

I am powerless to look at the Big Dipper anymore

不恨你 恨我的反抗不夠

No hatred for you, only regret that my resistance isn't strong enough

我的愛全被接收

All my love has been accepted

必須再重頭禪修

Must start anew, meditate from the beginning

練到清心寡愛 無懼色誘

Practice being pure-hearted and indifferent to desires, unafraid of seduction

...

...
