You would not believe your eyes 你或難置信你雙眼所見 If ten million fireflies 若有千萬隻螢火蟲 Light up the world as I fell asleep 在我眠夢之際燃亮了這世界 Cause they fill the open air 他們佈滿空中 And leave teardrops everywhere 並於四處灑下淚滴 You'd think me rude 你也許覺得我很無禮 But I would just stand and stare 然我寧願只站一旁凝視著
I'd like to make myself believe 我情願說服自己相信 That planet Earth turns slowly 地球仍從容慢旋(這是雙關語,亦含世界慢慢改變中之意) It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 這很難形容,然當我入眠時總寧願保持清醒 Cause everything is never as it seems 因世事總不會僅如表象所呈
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs 因我曾得過上千個擁抱 From ten thousand lightning bugs 自萬隻發亮的昆蟲身上 As they tried to teach me how to dance 那是當他們嚐試教我如何跳舞時 A foxtrot above my head 狐步舞在我頭上方 A sock hop beneath my bed 襪子單舞在我床下 A disco ball is just hanging by a thread 這迪斯可舞會僅為一線所懸
I'd like to make myself believe 我情願說服自己相信 This planet Earth turns slowly 地球仍從容慢旋 It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 這很難形容,然當我入眠時總寧願保持清醒 Cause everything is never as it seems 因世事總不會僅如表象所呈 When I fall asleep 當我入睡時
Leave my door open just a crack 將我的門關上時且留一條縫 (Please take me away from here) (請帶我離開這裡) Cause I feel like such an insomniac 因我感覺像個不眠症患者 (Please take me away from here) (請帶我離開這裡) Why do I tire of counting sheep 為何我厭倦數羊 (Please take me away from here) (請帶我離開這裡) When I'm far too tired to fall asleep 當我累極卻不能成眠時
To ten million fireflies 致千萬隻螢火蟲 I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes 我很古怪因為我討厭說再見 I got misty eyes as they said farewell 當他們告別時我的淚眼朦朧 But I'll know where several are 但我會知道一些他們的所在地 If my dreams get real bizarre 若我的夢境越來越詭異 Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar 那是因為我救了些螢火蟲且將牠們安置於罐中
I'd like to make myself believe 我情願說服自己相信 This planet Earth turns slowly 地球仍從容慢旋 It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 這很難形容,然當我入眠時總寧願保持清醒 Cause everything is never as it seems 因世事總不會僅如表象所呈 When I fall asleep 當我入睡時
I'd like to make myself believe 我情願說服自己相信 This planet Earth turns slowly 地球這星球仍從容慢旋 It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 這很難形容,然當我入眠時總寧願保持清醒 Because my dreams are bursting at the seams 因我的夢想正自隙縫中迸發而出
