歌词翻译 (English)
Idealism
A man living in this city
Toiling day and night to get his daily bread
Idealism is just a faraway daydream
And after awakening, it's back to hardship once more
I slept past the bus stop
All the way gazing at the neon lights of Beijing
My idealism abandoned me in the suffocating crowd
A flurry of snow has covered the bus window
Another four seasons have come and gone
Yet I sit alone on the sidewalk having accomplished nothing
With only idealism sustaining my numb limbs
Idealism, how old are you this year?
You're always tempting those young people
You always give me pleasant surprises
Only to then bring me back to my disappointing life
Another era has come and gone
I'm no longer that young man of no regrets
The years have forsaken my youth
I've already reached the age of fatherhood
Idealism will remain young forever
You make me stubbornly resist fate
You make me pale and haggard
Yet still naively believing
That the flowers will bloom once more
Under the sun are countless people bustling about
The transient, ever-diminishing light passes them by
