Lyrics by AIR艾热/Vyan
Composer: AIR艾热/Vyan
Arranger: Vyan & Jet

The Chinese lyrics are from https://music.163.com/#/song?id=473787122

当人们不再挺直胸膛
当人们只为买车买房
有些东西就丢在路上
用红色纸币填满胸膛

他们说那里有个乌托邦
他们带领我们已经接近了理想
但我的心中有另一个方向
每一个伟大灵魂汇合的地方

最美好的影像 就定格在过往
没那么多的牛逼吹得震天响
姑娘天生漂亮 人们都很善良
我们自由歌唱 我管他妈的市场

We are not young anynore * 4

当人们书本都在发光
当人们有了欲望就上网
有些东西就丢在路上
我们自由地被关进围墙

他们都变得越来越浮夸
互相不认识就开始在对骂
我不想参与他们无聊的对话
我想逃离无处不在愚蠢的废话

难道你喜欢吗 给我你的回答
还是否记得脑海里的那幅画
那就别再哭了 现在赶紧出发
义无反顾地 勇敢守护她

We are not young anynore * 4

人们需要很长时间学会发现美
学会谦卑学会简单面对错和对
生来平和但被生态平衡分配
冷漠冰冷但为爱而兴奋为物质而崩溃

游离于各种环境 但忘却了反省
时而淡定时而贪心时而被担心所唤醒
真的homie伴着我 眼神坚定看着我
盼着在如此难得的周末又开始说

唱 当伴奏播放 玛丽安娜在桌上
在扩张的同时发觉人们善于躲藏
所以我把理想刻在我的心上
用最主观的角度欣赏它形象的形状

如果没了梦 又如何推翻这座高墙
在黑暗过后面带微笑迎接新的朝阳
伟岸的雕像 谁都会抬头瞻仰
所以不在意谁设计它 谁自娱自乐颁奖

we are not young anymore
如果这个方位刚刚好正适合我
从没考虑为它付出过的值得么
传播它成了的职责 探索着创作着诗歌

English version (translated by me):

When people stop thrusting out their chests
When people hustle only for cars and houses
Some things are discarded along the path
They use red notes (1)to fill their chests.

They say there's a utopia
They've guided us close to our dream
But in my heart, there's another direction
To a place where every great soul meets

The nicest image was a freeze-frame in the past
A time when there were not so many things to boast about
Girls were naturally beautiful. People were all kind.
We sang freely, not caring about the market at all.

We are not young anynore * 4

When people's books give out light
When people surf on the internet once they have desires
Some things are discarded along the path
We're freely locked behind the wall.

They all become more and more swagger
Dissing each other though they've never met
I don't want to be involved in their boring talks
I want to escape from the ubiquitous foolish rubbish

You don't like it, do you? Give me your answer
Do you still remember that beautiful painting in your mind?
Then stop crying. Set out your journey.
Defend it, bravely and unreservedly.

We are not young anynore * 4

People need a long time to learn discovering beauty
Learn humility, learn distinguishing between right and wrong simply
They are born peaceful but are manipulated by ecological balance
Become aloof but are excited by love and crushed by materialism

Drifting around different environments but forgetting to reflect
Sometimes I'm calm, sometimes I'm greedy, sometimes I'm awaken by worries
Real homie is by my side, looking at me firmly and saying to me in such a precious weekend that

Sing, when the beat is playing. Marianne is on the desk
When it expands it realizes that people are good at hiding
So I engrave my dream on my heart
Appreciating its idealistic shape in the most subjective angle

If we don't have our dream, how could we tear down this high wall,
Smiling to welcome the new sunrise after the darkness
Everyone will lift their head to revere the great statue
So nobody cares who designed it or who gave out awards

we are not young anymore
If that position is perfectly suitable for me
I would never consider whether it's worth endeavoring for it
Spreading it is my responsibility, so I explore and create poems.
