Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English
bàn tiān shàng de tū yīng nà zhāng liǎn
半天上的秃鹰那张脸
The face of the vulture high in the sky
bàn shēng zhōng de jì yì zài pán xuán
半生中的记忆在盘旋
The memories of half a lifetime are circling
dì wǔ shí sān tiān hòu de rì yè xiàn
第五十三天后的日夜线
The day and night line after the fifty-third day
děng hēi yè wèn bái tiān
等黑夜问白天
Waiting for the night to ask the day
néng bu néng shè miǎn huī sè de rén jiān
能不能赦免 灰色的人间
Can it pardon this gray human world
bié jiāo huàn ba rì yè
别交换吧日夜
Don’t exchange day and night
bīng fēng de yǎn lèi yī dī jiù hěn xián
冰封的眼泪 一滴就很咸
A single drop of frozen tears is very salty
lái zì mù guāng de míng xìn piàn
来自暮光的 明信片
A postcard from the twilight
tā wú shēng wú sè wú yán
它无声无色无言
It is silent, colorless and wordless
fān guò shān diān gēn wǒ bàn guǐ liǎn
翻过山巅跟我扮鬼脸
It climbs over the mountain top and makes faces at me
dàn hēi yè hèn bái tiān
但黑夜恨白天
But the night hates the day
pīn mìng de wǎng qián tīng bu dào jiù yuán
拼命的往前 听不到救援
Rushing forward desperately, no rescue can be heard
mìng yùn tài fēng diān měi yī zhǎ yǎn dōu hěn xuán
命运太疯癫 每一眨眼 都很玄
Fate is too crazy, every blink is mysterious
nà duì nì guāng zhōng de hēi yàn
那对逆光中的黑雁
That pair of black geese against the light
yě fēi guò qù lǎo yuǎn
也飞过去老远
Have also flown far away
děng zài jiàn bù rú shuō yī cì zài jiàn tiāo yī tiān
等再见不如说一次再见 挑一天
Instead of waiting for goodbye, say goodbye once, pick a day
pí fū zhī xià de yū qīng shèn zhe xuè
皮肤之下的瘀青渗着血
The bruise under the skin oozes blood
xì bāo zhī zhōng de jué wàng zài hǎn yuān
细胞之中的绝望在喊冤
The despair in the cells is crying out for injustice
bèi wǔ shí sān tiān de gū dān chōu yī biān
被五十三天的孤单抽一鞭
Whipped by fifty-three days of loneliness
děng hēi yè wèn bái tiān
