假行僧

我要从南走到北
我还要从白走到黑
我要人们都看到我
但不知道我是谁
假如你看我有点累
就请你给我倒碗水
假如你已经爱上我
就请你吻我的嘴

我有这双脚 我有这双腿
我有这千山和万水
我要这所有的所有 – 但不要恨和悔
要爱上我就别怕后悔
总有一天我要远走高飞
我不想留在一个地方
也不想有人跟随

我要从南走到北
我还要从白走到黑
我要人们都看到我
但不知道我是谁
我只想看到你长得美
但不想知道你在受罪
我想要得到天上的水
但不是你的泪

我不愿相信真的有魔鬼
也不愿与任何人作对
你别想知道我到底是谁
也别想看到我的虚伪

Fake Monk

I want to go from south to north.
I want to go from white to black.
I want everybody to watch me,
But not know who I am.
If you see me looking a little tired,
Then please pour me a bowl of water.
If you’ve fallen in love with me,
Then please kiss my mouth.

I have these feet and legs.
I have so many mountains and rivers.
I want all of this everything – but not hate or regret.
If you want to love me, don’t worry about regretting it,
Because eventually I always leave everything behind.
I never stay in one place,
And never want anyone to follow me,

I want to go from south to north.
I want to go from white to black.
I want everybody to watch me,
But not know who I am.
I only want to see you blossoming,
But don’t want to know about your suffering.
I wish to attain the waters of heaven,
But not your tears.

I have no wish to believe in demons,
And no wish to oppose anybody.
Don’t try to figure out who I really am,
And don’t try to see through my facade.

La la la la la la la la…

Cuijian is our King-the Father of Chinese Rock. I keep his two songs in my mind one is Fake Monk, another is I have nothing. It’s our history. He is our champion, our history, our legend too. March on.

当Bob Dylan出道时，歌坛前辈说：from now on, it’s not going to be about how pretty the voice is. It’s going to be about believing that the voice is telling the truth. 崔健对此当之无愧。但遗憾的是，中国的流行音乐太缺少这种传统。
