歌词与翻译

[中文]

亚历山大 我们的兄长

踏上伟大远航

他将家人的身影撕下相框

把我们的名字从信上划光

妈妈真该叫你莱卡

出发吧亚力克斯 你能做到

前进吧亚力克斯 没什么大不了

想要什么就别装作无所求

若真无欲就别假装渴求

妈妈真该叫你莱卡

这都是为你好

更是为了街坊邻里

这条街巷

家兄竟被吸血鬼咬伤!

一年来我们收集他的眼泪斟满杯

此刻要逼他饮下绝望滋味

别倒下 亚历克斯 别枯竭消亡!

妈妈真该叫你莱卡

这都是为你好

全为了街坊邻里!

街巷邻里

当父亲回家你总惹争端骤起

好让警灯闪耀成邻人舞池光影

警灯旋转明灭

今夜邻里纵情跃动

此刻街坊翩然起舞

左邻右舍舞步回旋

整片社区身影摇曳

看那跃动的身姿

[英语]

Alexander, our older brother

Set out for a great adventure

He tore our images out of his pictures

He scratched our names out of all his letters

Our mother should have just named you Laika

Come on Alex, you can do it

Come on Alex, there's nothing to it

If you want something, don't ask for nothing

If you want nothing, don't ask for something

Our mother should have just named you Laika

It's for your own good

It's for the neighborhood

The neighborhood

Our older brother bit by a Vampire!

For a year we caught his tears in a cup

And now we're gonna make him drink it

Come on Alex, don't die or dry up!

Our mother should have just named you Laika

It's for your own good

It's for the neighborhood!

The neighborhood

When daddy comes home you always start a fight

So the neighbors can dance in the police disco lights

The police disco lights

Now the neighbors can dance

Now the neighbors can dance

Now the neighbors can dance

Now the neighbors can dance

Look at them dance
