G.E.M. - 摩天動物園 (Mótiān dòngwùyuán) versuri traducere în engleză

City Zoo

It is said that in Eden original love had no lies
Every day passed simply and people were sincere
Hearts followed unique rhythms
Orange lips hung smiling on faces
Until the serpent coiled around and made you bite the apple
Until the crane removed our unicorns
 
Poor Adam ever since he fell into the spider web
To fight for bread first you have to learn to eat the soil
The simple elephant evolved into a deer
Head up looking everywhere but head down forgetting the homeland
 
Everyone wants to reach the peak and plant their own flag
The pure white dove, why does it seem like it's become history
Work hard to drive a BMW and buy a house
But only to turn a frog into a prince
 
Cinderellas can't get any respect
Society doesn't care about tiny insects
Thus a flock of sheep's humble desire
Is to work hard to squeeze into a desolate vulgar heaven
 
The rabbits that were beaten by tortoises, their eyes are deep red
They will only envy other people's successes everyday
Thus they learn to be like cockroaches, crawling up walls everywhere, unafraid of dark and unafraid of filth
Licking shit to move towards a glorious prison
 
Living in the city zoo, civilization and beasts contend with each other
I saw black and white faces, their expressions change in an instant
People's hearts are too unpredictable, tangled between love and hate
The angel and devil are both by your side, drawing an endless circle
 
Living in the city zoo, I can only pray to God
Grant me a pair of clear eyes to see through beautiful lies
When you stand at the edge of desire suddenly it's hard to distinguish good and evil
The angel and devil are both by your side, now who will you kneel before
 
You and I at birth were once blank paper
But too many crooked characters were written
The most helpless thing about growing up is that being steady is for fools
If you don't want to be torn up and eaten you must sharpen your teeth
 
Don't let others slaughter you, at critical moments they just sell you out
No matter how helpless it's just an unavoidable side effect of success
When a nose falls in love with smog at the beginning it can't sense it
This corruption like dominoes slowly covers and poisons you
 
An innocent herd of pigs
Becomes tainted by fame and fortune
Making some strips of fabric into clothes, we become slaves to trends
Sell our soul to get wealthy
 
Each one gets famous quickly but starve to their bones
The monster in the mirror is exposed when no one is around
At the beginning they all long for Hollywood
In the end they all run away crying
 
Cinderellas can't get any respect
Society doesn't care about tiny insects
Thus a flock of sheep's humble desire
Is to work hard to squeeze into a desolate vulgar heaven
 
The rabbits that were beaten by tortoises, their eyes are deep red
They will only envy other people's successes everyday
Thus they learn to be like cockroaches, crawling up walls everywhere, unafraid of dark and unafraid of filth
Licking shit to move towards a glorious prison
 
Living in the city zoo, civilization and beasts contend with each other
I saw black and white faces, their expressions change in an instant
People's hearts are too unpredictable, tangled between love and hate
The angel and devil are both by your side, drawing an endless circle
 
Living in the city zoo, I can only pray to God
Grant me a pair of clear eyes to see through beautiful lies
When you stand at the edge of desire suddenly it's hard to distinguish good and evil
The angel and devil are both by your side, now who will you kneel before
 
Who is lost in the concrete forest
Who keeps treading the lowest limits of humanity
Who keeps indulging the diseased
Who will remember who they really are before it's too late

Shadow crawling





The lights go out, the doors close
And I'm crouched at the table, dazed,
a figure lost in my drunken stupor,
'a drink', I say, 'one more', tearful.
 

Shadow crawling in my late night,
in my drinking and cigarette smoke.
Your memories come to mind
like scattered notes on an untuned guitar.
Shadow crawling.
 

The hall emptied, the people are gone
and I am left in the back, forgotten.
In a monologue I speak to you,
in the glass and in a daze immersed.
 

Shadow crawling in my late night,
in my drinking and cigarette smoke.
Your memories come to mind
like scattered notes on an untuned guitar.
Shadow crawling.

Goodnight





Farewell and goodnight to you all
Goodnight and bless you all
I wish you good health always
Goodnight, bless you all
 

There's not a musical instrument that plays
That makes my heart more joyful
Than the sound of young girls singing
Goodnight, bless you all
 

And the voice that fills my heart with songs
Is the happy sound of young people singing
A peaceful place from the days of my youth
Joy be with you always
 

There's not a musical instrument that plays
That makes my heart more joyful
Than the sound of young girls singing
Goodnight, bless you all

An abyss





In our hands, lips, hair and our shoulders,
In our words, thoughts, eyes and our silence,
Today, we are similar and differ with you,
It's half step between us, so far like an abyss.
You little one, scared of darkness so much
I'm feeling all that, I see all of you
I'll be your warm blanket, your mantle
If you only ask me,
'Till you want to end it
 

In letters, in pictures, in writings, in dreams
Cannot be expressed what's happens between us
I know how the loneliness feels time to time
It's half step to you, so far like an abyss
I wish to shout out to you, I wish you could listen
I'm tiptoe, I'm groping, at half strength, I'm rushing
Tell me if we feel the same way with the others
In our hands, lips, hair and our shoulders?
 

For you, for you
I summons in vain at the midnight
Never, ever betray you or let somebody take you out
So now, so now I'll turn into a pillar of salt1,
But I, but I will trust you like in last one
 

Our common world is going to hell
Like a blast wave, snow avalanche descents
Let everything goes awry, wrong way, bass-ackwards
Just to your voice went right into my heart.
 
  • 1. 'become a pillar of salt' - sending to Bible, when Lot's wife is turned into a pillar of salt when she look back to her crushing city. In song man don't mind to become a rock of salt only for going back to their crushing relations

Let It Come





Let it come like definitely
Let your soul pick up heavy, put down light like the wind on the porch
And let the wind blow gently
Don't hurry
With my melody
Upset that day, didn't see you over
Afraid you'll pay attention to the thing that separates us
You don't know, what to do
Also betraying
With a lover, that's all
 

And only when you see those two tears
Feel so empty
When you only live for yourself
Find your name in the forgotten
You when you first met me
Been buried, for long
No matter how much you try to hold
Fought back some words
Now all I say will be too quick in your eyes
Just need you to love me, that's it
That should be enough
Hoo, ooh-hoo-ooh-hoo
 

The rock on the cliff
Where has it rolled
Why are you still waiting for him?
Too far from you (have far from you)
Too far to tomorrow (To tomorrow)
To walk away without coming back
As if I was never alive
 

To let you see those two tears (those two tears)
See the void you left (see the void)
When you only ever live for yourself (When you left me in the void)
Leave your name in oblivion
You when you first knew me
Been hiding, for too long
No matter how much you try to cling
And just argue back
Even the time will make your eyes sadden
Just need you to love me, that's all
Guess I'm done talking
Hoo, ooh-hoo-ooh-hoo
 

Hah, ah-ah-ah
Hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
 

When you see those two tears (see those two tears)
See the emptiness (See the emptiness)
When you only live for yourself) (When you left me in the void)
So I'll leave your name in the back of my head
You when you first met me, hoo
Let it come like definitley
