功课考试请教老师 铁路 要司机 Teachers are needed for schoolwork; drivers for the railways 审计交税有会计师 股市 靠经纪 Accountants are needed for auditing and tax filing; agents for stock trading 螺丝钉 每日如是似棋 I live my days like a chessman or a screw 可惜要扣紧螺丝帽 统一轮廓才合理 And I must be fastened to the nut to stay in sync with the overall structure
歌已翻唱五六百首 也没有打赏 I've covered 500–600 songs without any rewards 演戏街舞写作插画 生计谈不上 Hardly can I make a living by multitasking as an artist 仍奋力向上 明知经济太没保障 Regardless I soldier on, even the safety net is miles away 实际主义注重利益 为理想太漫长 In society money talks. It takes forever to fulfil one's dream
*耗尽心血是多余吗 何苦倒了又再爬 Are these efforts superfluous? How come I'm still struggling? 不想照制度前进 没有最差只有更差 I don't want to go by the rules, but it's only getting worse and worse 每日栽种望天长卦 泥土干涸无雨下 Planting seeds day by day, but not a drop of rain for the dry soil 那怎能开花 结果全都一样吗 How could there be flowers? Always the same result? 梦想在哪 Where's my dream?*
若忽然到达才惊讶 I'd be surprised if it did come true
总也好过吃玩买衫 最后记不起 Still better than fun seeking always and then forget what I've done 只盼一次心血作品 让旁人忆记 My only wish is that one of my works would be remembered 无终点班机 途中景致更为优美 Scenery is still beautiful even on a flight without destination 路纵弯却最能找到知己 The road is rough but I can still make many friends
重复repeat *
是多余吗 Is it all superfluous?
拚命工作能麻醉吧 Can't work make me numb? 使命感已沦为空话 都睇化 Is 'sense of duty' just lip service? I'm used to it 这段励志歌 想听吗 Is this motivational song worth a listen?
这样的我极多余吗 明知苦却又再爬 Am I superfluous? Still struggling despite all the hurdles 给选中哪能逃去 命数预了需吃风沙 Or am I destined to suffer so much? 进步先要累积筹码 投资想有回报吧 Progress takes time and effort, just as return on investment 承认造化 白费很高雅 Accept your destiny, it won't go to waste 嫌多余吗 留多余气力来招驾 Still feeling superfluous? Save your strength to embrace the hurdles
梦想无价 付出极快乐无牵挂 Your dream is priceless, worth giving your all without holding back
