歌词与翻译

[中文]

竹篮、反光板、有效的刹车

别忘了你的头盔，可靠的Mips - 再见了，我要去早市了

三十三个柠檬

一只看起来很健康的鸡和一打散养鸡蛋

谢谢，找零留着吧

吹着口哨，(尝试) 噗噗

我到家了

真是完美的一天

我把床单晾在了院子里

给我的烤盘上了油

我在想你，母亲

想要念出她那句名言

你只需要盐和胡椒

就能品尝到一生的幸福

然后月亮升起来了

烤柠檬鸡在烤箱里滋滋作响 - 一群黑衣人踢开了我的前门

嘿！谁？什么？为什么？

“你违反了617法案 - 非法思想” - “你已被逮捕”

我们都知道真正的答案是 - “你不该以这样的方式出生”

我们被塞进一辆货运列车

挤在和我相似的人群中

泪水顺着脸颊流下 - 我们开始歌唱

“他们永远夺不走我们的灵魂” - 越来越响亮

他们刮掉了我的头发

强迫我学习一门外语

从积极的方面来说，我还活着

我仍然记得我爱的人们 - 来吧，尽你所能

所有的痛苦和折磨

都无法撼动我们钢铁般的心

随着早晨来来去去

人们来来去去

地球转啊转 - 星星从未如此温柔 - 微风如此芬芳

透过墙上的小缝隙

每个晚上我都受邀观看

一场由月光鸟儿表演的戏剧

它们展开翅膀 - 承载着我们被压抑的声音 - 吟唱着我们历史的歌谣

让未来的人们知道

我们曾经存在过

真是完美的一个夜晚

我感到想要写一本书

传颂我的生命

直到最近，时间还不曾如此飞逝

用我沾满血迹的指尖

我只需要树枝和纸张

我开始写作，一首又一首的诗

然后月光鸟儿来见我

它们偷走了钥匙，打开了栅栏 - 我们终于自由了

我骑上我的自行车 - 骑回家去找母亲

书写我幻想的世界 - 我看到了一片天堂 - 我坐在我的院子里

读着我的书的平装本

在山坡上，你小小的拳头紧握着汗水

走向纪念公园 - 你放下新鲜剪裁的白色菊花

一位前思想警察低下她的帽子 - 孩子们躺在草地上

唱着我写的诗

[英语]

Bamboo basket, reflector, working brakes

Never forget your helmet, trusty Mips See ya, I’m off to the morning market

Thirty-three lemons

A healthy looking chicken and a dozen of free range eggs

Thanks, keep the change

Whistling a tune, (attempting) pffhw

I’m home

What a perfect day

I hanged the sheets out in the yard

Oiled up my baking tray

Thinking about you, Mother

To recite her famous words

All you need are salt and pepper

To taste the happiness of life forever

Then the moon rose

And creamed lemon chicken roasted in the oven Men in black kicked down my front door

Hey! Who? What? Why?

“You violated act 617 - Illegal Thoughts” “You’re under arrest”

We all know the real answer was “You shouldn’t have been born the way you are”

And we’re packed in a cargo choo choo train

Squeezing against the bodies similar to me

With tears rolling down our faces We began to sing

"They can never take anything from our souls” Louder and louder

They shaved off my hair

Fed me a foreign language

Looking on the bright side, I’m alive

I still remember all the people I love So come at me, and do your worst

All this pain and suffer

Don’t stand a chance against our iron hearts

As the morning came and went

And the people stayed and left

And the earth went ‘round and around The stars never looked so kind The wind ever so fragrant

Through the tiny slit on the wall

Every night I was invited to watch

A theatre played by moonlit birds

They spread their wings Carrying our silenced voices Singing our historic songs

Letting everyone in the future know

That we existed

What a perfect night

I felt the urge to write a book

Pass down my life

Until recently, time didn’t feel so fast

With my bloody finger tip

All I needed were sticks and paper

I started to write, poems after poems

Then the moonlit birds came to meet me

They stole the key and opened the gates We’re finally free

I picked up my bicycle Riding home to Mother

Writing my delusion world I saw a version of heaven Where I sat in my yard

Reading a paperback print of my book

On a hillside, your little fist clutching sweat

Walking to the memorial park You put down freshly cut white chrysanthemums

A former Thought Police lowers her hat Children lying on the grass

Singing to poems written by me
