Ma Tianyu’s new single Narcissus
纳西索斯
作词:汪迪、衣华栋
作曲:衣华栋
演唱:马天宇
点一根烟 吐个烟圈
Light a cigerette, blow a smoke ring
骚动的欲望 蔓延
My desire stirs, and spreads
忽然一眼 与谁照面
Suddenly I see, a face in the reflection
谁爱上我的 容颜
Who fell in love with my looks
都说美得太危险
Everyone says being beautiful is dangerous
让人不安或胆怯
Everyone is anxious, timid
都说你们 迷恋
They say that you are infatuated
迷恋我 也只一天
Infatuated with me for one day
时间会 谋杀缠绵
Time will kill the lingering
我们都 无法幸免
None of us are spared
这世间 所谓永远
Nothing is this world is internal
只有我 爱我不变
Only the love I have for myself
来生之年 再见之前
In the afterlife, before we meet again
开在心头的绮念
A thought at the front of my mind
湖畔流连 水中如仙
Linger at the lakefront, in the water like an immortal
爱上了 倒映的脸
Fell in love with the reflection
都说美得太危险
Everyone says being beautiful is dangerous
让人不安或胆怯
Everyone is anxious, timid
都说你们 迷恋
They say that you are infatuated
迷恋我 也只一天
Infatuated with me for one day
时间会 谋杀缠绵
Time will kill the lingering
我们都 无法幸免
None of us are spared
这世间 所谓永远
Nothing is this world is internal
只有我 爱我不变
Only the love I have for myself
我主宰 我的姿态
I will dominate, my attitude
不必管 别人神态
Don’t mind the demeanor of others
若爱恋 不如自恋
Why not love yourself rather than love someone else?
我甘愿 化作水仙
I willingly become a narcissus
I love Ma Tianyu, but I really don’t get the lyrics to the song. Is it promoting egotism? I been listened to this song like 5 times but never paid attention to the lyrics. What is this song supposed to mean?!?! Either that or my Chinese just sucks.
it is kinda saying that many ppl said that he is so beautiful to the extent of being dangerous, but the person in qn (the ‘me’ in this song) replies that although that is the case, ppl will only love his face for one day (aka a short amt of time). and yes, like you translated, time will kill the lingering. (c’mon, how many of us actually remember clearly every single pretty face we’ve seen?) he sorta kinda scoffs at the so-called ‘forever’of the world, and says that the only existing case is his own love for himself. and that very end of the song, he just thinks that only what he thinks of himself matters, and instead of falling in love with someone, it would be a better choice to fall in love with himself. (hence the song title)
yansanniang oh and the last line is more of “I willingly become a narcissus”.
水仙 is a type of flower and is called narcissus. The plant is frequently linked to the myth of Narcissus. (or you could refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_and_Narcissus)
Oh yeah, I forgot that 水仙also means narcissus, that makes a lot more sense now. lol thanks the50-person
