半天上的秃鹰那张脸

The face of the bald eagle in the sky.
半生中的记忆在盘旋

Waiting for the night to question the day.
能不能赦免 灰色的人间

Is it possible to forgive this gray world?
别交换吧日夜 冰封的眼泪 一滴就很咸
bié jiāo huàn ba rì yè bīng fēng de yǎn lèi yī dī jiù hěn xián
Don’t exchange day and night; the frozen tears are very salty.
来自暮光的明信片
lái zì mù guāng de míng xìn piàn
A postcard from twilight.
它无声无色无言
tā wú shēng wú sè wú yán
It is silent, colorless, and wordless.
翻过山巅跟我扮鬼脸
fān guò shān diān gēn wǒ bàn guǐ liǎn
Climb over the mountain peak and make a funny face with me.
但黑夜恨白天

But the night hates the day.
拼命的往前 听不到救援

Desperately moving forward, unable to hear the rescue.
命运太疯癫 每一眨眼 都很玄

That pair of black geese against the light has flown far away.
等再见不如说一次再见 挑一天
děng zài jiàn bù rú shuō yī cì zài jiàn tiāo yī tiān
It’s better to say goodbye once than to wait for another goodbye.
皮肤之下的瘀青渗著血

Bruises beneath the skin are leaking blood.
细胞之中的绝望在喊冤

Despair within the cells is crying out for justice.
被五十三天的孤单抽一鞭

Thank you for time; it has reddened my eyes.
往事的光圈 每一瞬间 都很绝
wǎng shì de guāng quān měi yī shùn jiān dōu hěn jué
The halo of the past, every moment is very absolute.
那跑过去的昼夜 是孤独的修炼
nà pǎo guò qù de zhòu yè shì gū dú de xiū liàn
The day and night that have passed are a lonely practice.
说再见不如忘掉能再见
shuō zài jiàn bù rú wàng diào néng zài jiàn
It’s better to forget about seeing again than to say goodbye.
在半空中真好 不会吵 人少
zài bàn kōng zhōng zhēn hǎo bú huì chǎo rén shǎo
It’s nice to be in midair; there’s no noise and fewer people.
却看得到那些近在天边的风暴

Yet I can see the storms close in the horizon.
