二十岁 At 20s - Hao Mei Mei Band 好妹妹乐队






想要做的事
xiǎng yào zuò de shì
The things one wants to do
就先等一等
jiù xiān děng yī děng
Just need to wait a moment for now
至少要让你爱的人有房子可安身
zhì shǎo yào ràng nǐ ài de rén yǒu fáng zǐ kě ān shēn
At least allow your loved ones to have a house to shelter in
他们说的天分 没发生
tā men shuō de tiān fèn  méi fā shēng
The talent they spoke of  didn’t happen
反正浪费过才算是一个完整的人
fǎn zhèng làng fèi guò cái suàn shì yī gè wán zhěng de rén
Anyway, after squandering (it) only can one be considered a complete person 

也经过一些些温柔的残忍
yě jīng guò yī xiē xiē wēn róu de cán rěn
Have also experienced some bit of gentle cruelty
说到底我也差一点为谁乱了分寸
shuō dào dǐ wǒ yě chà yī diǎn wèi shéi luàn le fēn cùn
In the end, I nearly lost my sense of propriety for someone
勇敢的牺牲 以假乱真
yǒng gǎn de xī shēng  yǐ jiǎ luàn zhēn
Brave sacrificing one's life, passing the fake off as real
身边换了多少人
shēn biān huàn le duō shǎo rén
How many have passed by in my life/around me
都称呼过 我们
dōu chēng hu guò  wǒ men
All have called  us

还觉得不过二十岁
hái jué dé bù guò èr shí suì
Still felt that I'm only 20 years old
不够喊累
bù gòu hǎn lèi
Not tired enough
几次熬到天黑
jǐ cì áo dào tiān hēi
How many times have I stayed up till it's dark
抱怨都感到惭愧
bào yuàn dōu gǎn dào cán kuì
Feel ashamed to complain

不止你一个人疲惫
bù zhǐ nǐ yī gè rén pí bèi
You are not the only one who is tired
那么多人海里进退
nà me duō rén hǎi lǐ jìn tuì
So many enter and leave the sea
总会有人把你当宝贝
zǒng huì yǒu rén bǎ nǐ dāng bǎo bèi
There will always be someone who treats you as a treasure

说起来已经四十岁
shuō qǐ lái yǐ jīng sì shí suì 
Speaking of, I'm already 40 years old
不醉不归
bù zuì bù guī
Not going home until drunk (let's make a night of it!)
朋友孩子周岁
péng yǒu hái zǐ zhōu suì
My friend’s child is one year old
发觉已成为父辈
fā jué yǐ chéng wéi fù bèi
I realised I'm part of the fathers generation

我和她算不算般配
wǒ hé tā suàn bù suàn bān pèi
Are me and her a good match?
浪漫是另一种浪费
làng màn shì lìng yī zhǒng làng fèi
Romance is another kind of squandering
白头到老才知道对不对
bái tóu dào lǎo cái zhī dào duì bù duì
We'll figure if it's right or wrong when we have lived together until the white hairs of old age
