Counting Stars lyrics by OneRepublic.
"Counting Stars" by OneRepublic is listed #9 in the Hot 100 Billboard charts.
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
最近我失眠了
Dreaming about the things that we could be
夢著我們應該做的事
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
但是,寶貝 我努力地祈禱
Said, no more counting dollars
祈禱別再只有數錢 (指向錢看齊的社會)
We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars
我們可以改成數天上的星星
I see this life like a swinging vine
我把生活看作蔓延的藤蔓
Swing my heart across the line
把我的心束縛住
And my face is flashing signs
我的臉上透露出某種訊號
Seek it out and you shall find
仔細探尋你就會發現
Old, but I'm not that old
說我老 但我並非那樣老態龍鍾
Young, but I'm not that bold
說我年輕 但我並非那樣勇往直前
I don't think the world is sold
我想這世界並非被出賣了
I'm just doing what we're told
我只是遵循著大家所說的那樣辦事
I feel something so right
我內心知道怎樣才是對的
Doing the wrong thing
但我作著錯的事
I feel something so wrong
我感到某件事是錯的
Doing the right thing
但我說服自己這樣是對的
I could lie, coudn't I, could lie
我應該可以欺騙自己 騙過自己
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
所有令我挫折的事都讓我感覺活著
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
I feel the love and I feel it burn
我感受到火熱的愛情
Down this river, every turn
每次都陷入這愛情的河
Hope is a four-letter word
希望只不過是紙上的兩個字
Make that money, watch it burn
賺了大把的錢再看它燃燒殆盡
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money
不要管那些錢財了
Watch it burn
燒毀它吧
Sink in the river
把它撒向河流
The lessons are learned
我因此上了一課
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learned
Everything that kills me makes feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be, counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learned
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learned
