Song: 天空之城 (Tiān kōng zhī chéng)

天空之城

飞机飞过天空，天空之城
落雨下的黄昏的我们
此刻我在异乡的夜里
感觉着你忽明忽暗

我想回到过去，沉默着欢喜
天空之城在哭泣越来越明亮的你
爱情不过是生活的屁
折磨着我也折磨着你

港岛妹妹，你献给我的西班牙馅饼
甜蜜地融化了我，天空之城在哭泣
港岛妹妹，我们曾拥有的甜蜜的爱情
疯狂地撕裂了我，天空之城在哭泣

有人路过那里，回来告诉我
天空之城在哭泣无法呼吸的你
此刻我在异乡的夜里
想念着你越来越远

City in the Sky

The plane flies across the sky, past the city in the sky
The raining evening envelopes us
Right now I am in a foreign land at night
Feeling your flickering presence

I long to return to the past, to that silent joy
The city in the sky is crying for you who are growing brighter, brighter
Love is but life’s trash
Torturing me and torturing you

Island girl, you presented to me a Spanish pie
The sweetness melted me, the city is the sky is crying
Island girl, the sweet love we once had
Tore me apart crazily, the city in the sky is crying

Someone passed by that place and returned to tell me
The city in the sky is crying for you who cannot breath
Right now I am in a foreign land at night
Missing you who are getting further, further

I translated 屁 as ‘trash’ but it really literally is ‘fart’.
