Bibi Zhou Bichang - Yu Guantou (Canned Fish) translation

The music video for this song is a rip-off of Nuit Blanche, an award-winning short film. Like, a blatant shot for shot rip-off. Not even a little bit subtle about it. And yes, it was plagiarism, because the director didn't give any credit for the idea. Why people think they can get away with this sort of thing in the era of the internet is beyond me.

The song isn't a plagiarism of anybody, though.



魚罐頭一樣 在平躺lying flat, like canned fishyu guantou yiyang zai ping tang
困在濃稠的思念 仰望surrounded by dense nostalgia, looking upkun zai nongchou de sinian, yangwang
星空空轉 the starry sky idly spinsxingkong kongzhuan
念頭像水母的飄蕩thoughts floating like jellyfishniantou xiang shuimu de piaodang
我並不孤單 I don't feel alone at allwo bing bu gudan
想你 才孤單but when I think of you I feel alonexiang ni cai gudan
在瀰漫 防腐的哀傷soaking in a preservative sorrowzai miman fangfu de aishang
   
*被淹沒一樣 不作響*not making a sound, like being drowned*bei yanmo yiyang bu zuo xiang
四季就是那四面 白牆the four seasons are just the four white wallssiji jiu shi na mian si bai qiang
唱盤在空轉 the turntable is idly spinningchangpan zai kongzhuan
寂寞是濃霧的暗光loneliness is a dark light in thick fogjimo shi nongwu de an'guang
空心磚發燙 a hollow brick burningkongxing zhuang fatang
胸膛 正中央in the center of my chestxiongtang zheng zhongyang
那是我 真空的地方that's me, a vacuumna shi wo, zhenkong de difang
   
#缺氧 #no oxygen#que yang
魚失去海洋the fish lost the seayu shiqu haiyang
我失去心臟I lost my heartwo shiqu xinzang
要用什麼補償 都一樣what can make up for it? it's all the sameyao yong shenme buchang, dou yiyang
魚罐頭一樣like a can of fishyu guantou yi yang
慢慢的被蓋上 slowly covered up by a lidmanman de bei gai shang
不透光no light enteringbu tou guang
   
repeat *repeat *repeat *
   
repeat #repeat #repeat #
   
缺氧no oxygenque yang
魚失去海洋the fish lost the seayu shiqu haiyang
我失去立場I lost my placewo shiqu lichang
我以為不一樣 都一樣I thought it was different, but it's all the samewo yiwei bu yiyang, dou yiyang
倔強得牽強stubborn beyond reasonjuejiang de qianqiang
慢慢的被風乾 slowly air-driedmanman de bei feng gan
我說謊I tell lieswo shuo huang
我說謊I tell lieswo shuo huang
