[English]

I'm wearing a retro suit, holding a cane, playing a magic movement

Strolling on the Samaritaine, time renewed by the years

A boundless empire, a throne built with notes

I shuttle through 1920 with the keys, missing the immortality

Ah, prejudice is that Magritte, the apple I conjured

Is it me who is surreal, or the clown he originally wanted to paint?

It's not a pipe, the pigeons on his face didn't fly away

Please remember he's a painter, not some bartender

Whose thinking gave Dali his upturned mustache? (Thinking)

Bent a spoon, lent you inspiration, no need to return it (Return it)

Is it the clock on the wall or the cheese that's melting?

You don't reply to me from the lobster phone

Roaming is the most unrestrained ink wash in secular paintings

The elegant legs of the city of flowers are a stroke under the universe's pen

Homesickness across the ocean planted in a tenderness with nothing

Lonely branches can grow the flowers Sanyu wanted

A small boat quietly goes back and forth on Matisse's shore

The night under the starry sky is handed over to Van Gogh to ignite

The beautiful dream is too short, screaming on Munch's bridge

The hustle and bustle of this world comes from loneliness

...

The sunlight flows through the garden, the air sways with the fragrance of flowers

I'm asking Monet for a favor, can I have a self-portrait?

The master gazes into the distance, studying the shapes of colors

Suddenly turns around and asks me to talk about my impression of myself

The madness of generations, the king of music

All things submit to my movement

The road is still being broken, I'm still creating

The melody at the fingertips is yearning

The madness of generations, the king of music

I don't think I need a frame

It can't frame the speed of the keys

All my notes are future art

The sunrise goes back and forth in the harbor of Impression

The light awakens the sleeping flowers and leaves

The meadow is rejoicing for a light rain

We deeply love this world

The butterfly that stopped on the Cam River

Flies to Florence on the midnight riverside

Regret is accidentally hidden in the pages of poetry

It is a world that smiles cannot penetrate

The scales and claws of Paris, the sentimental grammar, must be read with music

Under the evening breeze's lamp, the traveler's flower tea, I changed to coffee

After that, he fell in love with the "bitter" complex word

Because this is the taste of waving goodbye to the clouds

A small boat quietly goes back and forth on Matisse's shore

The night under the starry sky is handed over to Van Gogh to ignite

The beautiful dream is too short, screaming on Munch's bridge

The hustle and bustle of this world comes from loneliness

...

[Chinese]

哥穿著復古西裝 拿著手杖 彈著魔法樂章

漫步走在莎瑪麗丹 被歲月翻新的時光

望不到邊界的帝國 用音符築成的王座

我用琴鍵穿梭 1920 錯過的不朽

啊 偏執是那馬格利特 被我變出的蘋果

超現實的是我 還是他原本想畫的小丑?

不是煙斗的煙斗 臉上的鴿子沒有飛走

請你記得他是個畫家 不是什麽調酒

達利翹胡是誰給他的思索? (思索)

彎了湯匙借你靈感 不用還我 (還我)

融化的是墻上時鐘還是乳酪?

龍蝦電話那頭你都不回我

浪蕩是世俗畫作裡最自由不拘的水墨

花都優雅的雙腿是這宇宙筆下的一抹

漂洋過海的鄉愁種在一無所有的溫柔

寂寞的枝頭才能長出常玉要的花朵

小船靜靜往返 馬諦斯的海岸

星空下的夜晚 交給梵谷點燃

夢美的太短暫 孟克橋上吶喊

這世上的熱鬧 出自孤單

花園流淌的陽光 空氣搖晃著花香

我請莫內幫個忙 能不能來張自畫像?

大師眺望著遠方 研究色彩的形狀

突然回頭要我說說我對我自己的印象

世代的狂 音樂的王

萬物臣服在我樂章

路還在闖 我還在創

指尖的旋律在渴望

世代的狂 音樂的王

我想我不需要畫框

它框不住琴鍵的速度

我的音符全都是未來藝術

日出在印象的港口來回

光線喚醒了睡著的花葉

草地正為一場小雨歡悅

我們彼此深愛這個世界

停在康橋上的那只蝴蝶

飛往午夜河畔的翡冷翠

遺憾被偶然藏在了詩頁

是微笑都透不進的世界

巴黎的鱗爪 感傷的文法 要用音樂翻閱

晚風的燈下 旅人的花茶 我換成了咖啡

之後他就愛上了 "苦澀" 這個復雜詞彙

因為這才是揮手向雲彩到別的滋味

小船靜靜往返 馬諦斯的海岸

星空下的夜晚 交給梵谷點燃

夢美的太短暫 孟克橋上吶喊

這世上的熱鬧 出自孤單
