Goodnight, People of the Earth ~ Mayday

I am supposed to sleep now, an important day tomorrow. But I'm suffering from the post-Mayday concert fever... the only cure is to watch their MTV over and over again until I drop dead.

I paused for a long time after listening to 晚安 地球人 (Goodnight, People of the Earth)... there was a ghostly silent that rang through the night.

紫皮肤大脑袋血液不绿也不蓝
在我已经毁灭的星球我比五月天还帅
那一年大逃难爸爸把我丢上船
光的速度能比爱恨快所以我也忘了哭
来到这里一光年外

沉睡七年的蝉
换取七天的灿烂
生命穿过漫长年代
直到名为人类的灾难

诸葛亮赤壁战万人一冢的豪迈
千年之后重回荧幕里还是征战的舞台
难道会又重来妈妈他说的混乱
谁能还清自己的卡债谁能控制核子弹
谁能顿悟轮回会来

大人在冷气房作战
小孩在太阳下逃难
石油田的干旱华尔街卷起灾难
终于人们发射了飞弹捍卫自己的晚餐
多害怕在未来人类对一切习惯
拿起字典一页页的翻始终找不到的字
是不是爱是不是爱(地球人晚安)
不要是爱不要是爱(地球人晚安)


Purple skin, large brains, with blood neither green nor blue
On my planet that has been destroyed, I'm even more charming than Mayday
That year, during the great exodus, my father threw me onto the ship
The speed of light is faster than love, that's why I forgot to cry
And ended up here, one light year away

The cicada slept for seven years
In exchange of seven days of brilliance
Life went through ages
until the human disaster arrives

Zhu Geliang* and his battle of Chibi, the heroism of a graveyard with ten thousand men
After one thousand years, war is still staging on the screen
Will it be that the chaos my mother told me is coming back?
Who can repay their credit card debts? who has control over the nuclear bombs?
Who will realize that reincarnation will return??

(* The prime minister of the Kingdom Shuhan in the Romance of Three Kingdoms.)

Adults fight in air-conditioned rooms
Children flee under the sun
The oil is drying up and disaster hits Walls Street
At last, they launched the missiles to defend their dinner

I fear of a future, where people are used to all this
Pick up a dictionary and turn one page after another, the word that you couldn't find
Is it love? Is it love? (Goodnight, People of the Earth)
Let it not be love
Let it not be love (Goodnight, People of the Earth)
