我睡在土壤裡面失眠

wo shui zai tu rang li mian shi mian

 I sleep inside the earth sleeplessly

我在考慮何年何歲

wo zai kao lu he nian he sui

 Pondering which year, at what age

追隨自然的演變

zhui sui zi ran de yan bian

 To pursue Nature’s evolution

 

對一隻平凡的蟬而言

dui yi zhi ping fan de chan er yan

 As for an ordinary cicada

得要拼命讓人看見

de yao pin ming rang ren kan jian

 I must risk my life to be seen

傳達生命的熱烈

chuan da sheng ming de re lie

 To pass on the passion for life

 

總說大鳴大放 才算活過

zong shuo da ming da fang  cai suan huo guo

 They say that “You must sing with all your might to prove that you lived”

這樣褻瀆黑暗 又算什麼?

zhe yang xie du hei an  you suan shi me ?

 But how would this not profane the darkness?

 

一點點想像你的臉

yi dian dian xiang xiang ni de lian

 Bit by bit I imagine your face

一雙眼 看見了誰 變成了誰

yi shuang yan  kan jian le shui  bian cheng le shui

 A pair of eyes  watching who and becoming whom

一點點失去你的臉

yi dian dian shi qu ni de lian

 Bit by bit I lose your face

是因為 想成為誰 都不像誰

shi yin wei  xiang cheng wei shui  dou bu xiang shui

 Because who I wanna be yet I failed to be

你是誰 (你蛻變 我不變)

ni shi shui  (ni tui bian  wo bu bian )

 Who are you (you’re casting off,  I shall not)

 

誰能明白外面的世界

shui neng ming bai wai mian de shi jie

Who can understand the world above the earth

提供完美拿來摧毀

ti gong wan mei na lai cui hui

 Offerings of perfection are invariably destroyed

夢總是拿來幻滅

meng zong shi na lai huan mie

 Dreams are invariably dashed

 

誰能明白土裡的世界

shui neng ming bai tu li de shi jie

 Who would understand the world inside the earth

不怕表情換來誤解

bu pa biao qing huan lai wu jie

 Where we need not fear our faces being misread

不怕心換來欺騙

bu pa xin huan lai qi pian

 Need not fear our hearts being deceived

 

看來遙不可及 才是追求

kan lai yao bu ke ji  cai shi zhui qiu

 It seems what is out of reach is being called a pursuit

其實近在身邊 反而不懂

qi shi jin zai shen bian  fan er bu dong

 Yet, what is within reach is far from fathomable
