Twins - Zi You Xing Bu Xing

Twins – 自由行不行
Twins – Zi You Xing Bu Xing
Twins – Will Freedom Do?

上海灘很長廣告很多 
Shang hai tan hen chang guang gao hen duo
Shanghai’s beach is very long and the commercials many
多不過等我解決的事 
Duo bu guo deng wo jie jue de shi
But not more nor less to my settled affairs
101
很高玻璃很光亮 
Yi ling yi hen gao bo li hen guang liang
The Taipei 101 building’s very tall and the glass is shiny
亮不透我在離開前所受的氣 
Liang bu tou wo zai li kai qian suo shou de qi
But not completely bright and I was bullied before I left
拿得起幾公斤行李 
Na de qi ji gong jin xing li
So I picked up my several kilograms of luggage
放不下自己 
Fang bu xia zi ji
I could not let go of myself

飛到這裏再飛到那裏
Fei dao zhe li zai fei dao na li
 
I fly here and fly there
飛不到新的天地 
Fei bu dao xin de tian di
But I can’t fly to a new world
幾家旅館幾條鑰匙 
Ji jia lv guan ji tiao yao shi
Several hotels and several keys
開不到我向往的風景 
Kai bu dao wo xiang wang de feng jing
But they can’t open up to my yearned for landscape
一天 花了幾個小時 
Yi tian hua le ji ge xiao shi
I use up several hours per day
去想我能不能 我行不行 
Qu xiang wo neng bu neng wo xing bu xing
Wondering if I can, if I will
卻不會問我自由我自在
Que bu hui wen wo zi you wo zi zai
 
But I will not ask if I’m carefree
有沒有一小時 
You mei you yi xiao shi
And if I have an hour to spare

石闆路很彎薄餅很香 
Shi ban lu hen wan bao bing hen xiang
Shiban Road is very curvy and the Chinese pancakes fragrant
不用趕就會慢慢的吃 
Bu yong gan jiu hui man man de chi
You don’t need to hurry, just slowly eat
大城和小鎮都有青草地 
Da cheng he xiao zhen dou you qing cao di
Both the big towns and the small towns have green grass
不用忙坐下來就有享受的心 
Bu yong mang zuo xia lai jiu you xiang shou de xin
Don’t get busy, just sit back down and have a relishing heart
聽過了幾千套道理 
Ting guo le ji qian tao dao li
I’ve heard several thousand principles
學不了忘記 
Xue bu liao wang ji
And I am unable to learn how to forget

飛到這裏再飛到那裏
Fei dao zhe li cai fei dao na li
 
I fly here and fly there
飛不到新的天地 
Fei bu dao xin de tian di
But I can’t fly to a new world
幾家旅館幾條鑰匙 
Ji jia lv guan ji tiao yao shi
Several hotels and several keys
開不到我向往的風景 
Kai bu dao wo xiang wang de feng jing
But they can’t open up to my yearned for landscape
一天 花了幾個小時
Yi tian hua le ji ge xiao shi
I use up several hours per day
去爲什麽努力 什麽都行 
Qu wei shen me nv li shen me dou xing
As for striving for something, anything will do
卻不會問我自己 
Que bu hui wen wo zi ji
But I will not ask myself
能否在北京在東京找到自己
Neng fou zai bei jing zai dong jing zhao dao zi ji
 
If it’s possible to find myself in Beijing or Tokyo

飛到那裏 再飛到這裏 
Fei dao na li zai fei dao zhe li
I fly there and I fly here
飛不到真的距離 
Fei bu dao zhen de ju li
But I can’t fly to a true distance
幾種語言幾段曆史 
Ju zhong yu yan ji duan li shi
Several different languages and several histories
讀不到我存在的意義 
Du bu dao wo cun zai de yi yi
But I can’t study the meaning to my existence
一天 花了幾個小時 
Yi tian hua le ji ge xiao shi
I use up several hours per day
去想我能不能 我行不行
Qu xiang wo neng bu neng wo xing bu xing
 
Wondering if I can, if I will
卻不會問我自由我自在
Que bu hui wen wo zi you wo zi zai
But I will not ask if I’m carefree
有沒有一小時
You mei you yi xiao shi
And if I have an hour to spare
