哑巴 // Ya Ba (The Mute)

薛之谦 // Joker Xue

May 2018

我们都迁就嘴巴

我们都憋着真话

我们都让爱先发芽

Wǒmen dōu qiānjiù zuǐbā

Wǒmen dōu biēzhe zhēn huà

Wǒmen dōu ràng ài xiān fāyá

We all let our mouths do the talking

We’re all suppressing the truth

We all let love take hold first

我们会接受惩罚

有一个变成哑巴

越退让越不会表达

Wǒmen huì jiēshòu chéngfá

Yǒu yīgè biàn chéng yǎbā

Yuè tuìràng yuè bù huì biǎodá

We can accept punishment

Have one become mute

The more we yield, the more we are unable to express

所有的安静都是人造的冷清

所有的杂音在安慰后平静

我不需要证明

我不需要声音

Suǒyǒu de ānjìng dōu shì rénzào de lěngqīng

Suǒyǒu de záyīn zài ānwèi hòu píngjìng

Wǒ bù xūyào zhèngmíng

Wǒ bù xūyào shēngyīn

All of the peace is artificial coldness

All the static is calming after the solace

I don’t need proof

I don’t need noise

我就像一个哑巴一样

你翻译不了我的声响

怕腻烦过量

我举止要限量

Wǒ jiù xiàng yīgè yǎbā yīyàng

Nǐ fānyì bùliǎo wǒ de shēngxiǎng

Pà nìfán guòliàng

Wǒ jǔzhǐ yào xiànliàng

I’m just exactly like a mute

You’re unable to interpret my sounds

I’m afraid of getting overly worn out

I need to limit this behavior

你可以当我哑巴一样

你不会看见我的抵抗

请别怕我受伤

我自己会圆场

Nǐ kěyǐ dāng wǒ yǎbā yīyàng

Nǐ bù huì kànjiàn wǒ de dǐkàng

Qǐng bié pà wǒ shòushāng

Wǒ zìjǐ huì yuánchǎng

You can be a mute like me

You will not see my resistance

Please don’t be afraid of my injuries

I will handle them myself

我们会接受惩罚

有一个变成哑巴

越退让越不会表达

Wǒmen huì jiēshòu chéngfá

Yǒu yīgè biàn chéng yǎbā

Yuè tuìràng yuè bù huì biǎodá

We can accept punishment

The more we yield, the more we are unable to express

You can be a mute like me

You will not see my resistance

Please don’t be afraid of my injuries

I will handle them myself

我就像一个哑巴一样

反正我也不擅长抵抗

Wǒ jiù xiàng yīgè yǎbā yīyàng

Fǎnzhèng wǒ yě bù shàncháng dǐkàng

I’m just exactly like a mute

At any rate, I’m also not good at resisting
