罗大佑 - 现象七十二变 歌词翻译

At Huanghuagang were 72 martyrs buried
And Confucius had 72 disciples
Monkey King knows the magic of 72 changes
And we've met the 72nd year of the ROC
Year by year the geography is changing
So many seas turn into lands instantly
In our long history of 5,000 years
Both success and failure exist more or less

It's clearly written on your face
That you're a genuine clever man
Taking your step in flurry way
You're a modern man in a hurry
Someone is doing his job in obscurity
Someone is enjoying his days in peace
Some people intrigue and attack mutually at daytime
And someone has shot a singer at night

Flying with the soaring modernization of city
Everyone pursues own happiness more or less
For what psychological factor
Is there one expressway consumed every day?
When hanging out on the overpass in Ximenting
I wonder how many "civilized" people walk on side walks
As I witness the "civilized" cars rampaging here and there
I also wonder what the popular opinion is like

The old year is gone while the new year comes
Every year modernity is at the edge of tradition
On each day of the 365 days in every new year
Each of us makes a little progress

Buildings are constructed taller and taller as seen
Our human touch is keeping receding
More and more etiquette appears among friends
Less and less we meet is the true cause
Price of apple is not so high as before
The taste may be not so good as then
As the color TV sets are increasingly popular
But those who can discern black and white are reducing

The old year is gone while the new year comes
Every year gone was ever a new one
On each day of the 365 days in every new year
Each of us makes a little progress

Miracles should not be expected in reality
Which is a truth so facile
If you wanna make life very easy
Just keep a little distance from others
However life and drama cannot be alike
How can you confront yourself in mask?
Perhaps you would discover some miracles indeed
As long as you ignore some face problems
Perhaps you would find your life still splendid
As long as you overlook some face problems

黄花岗有七十二个烈士
孔老夫子有七十二个弟子
孙悟空的魔法七十二变
我们要等到民国七十二年
岁岁年年风水都在改变
有多少沧海一夜变成桑田
在这个五千年的悠久历史里面
成功与失败多少都有一点

清清楚楚写在你的脸上
你是个道道地地的聪明人
慌慌张张迈开你的脚步
你是个匆匆忙忙的现代人
有人默默耕耘默默从事
有人在过著他的太平日子
有人在大白天里彼此明争暗斗
有人在黑夜之中枪杀歌手

随著都市现代化的程度
每个人多少追求一点幸福
是个什么样的心理因素
每天要吃掉一条高速公路
在西门町的天桥上面闲逛
有多少文明人在人行道上
就像我看那文明车辆横冲直撞
我不懂大家心中做何感想

一年过了又是新的一年
每一年现代都在传统边缘
在每个新的一年三百六十五天
我们都每天进步一点点

眼看著高楼盖得越来越高
我们的人情味却越来越薄
朋友之间越来越有礼貌
只因为大家见面越来越少
苹果价钱卖得没以前高
或许现在味道变得不好
就像彩色的电视变得更佳花俏
能辨别黑白的人越来越少

一年过了又是新的一年
每一年都曾经是新的一年
在每个新的一年三百六十五天
我们都每天进步一点点

现实生活不能等待奇迹
这是个非常简单的道理
如果真要生存非常容易
只要你对人保持一点距离
但是生活不能像在演戏
你戴著面具如何面对自己
或许你将会真的发现一些奇迹
只要你抛开一些面子问题
或许你将会发现人生还算美丽
只要你抛开一些面子问题
