Let’s enjoy wonderful life in Chongqing
“待春暖花开,我们再看车水马龙。”
“When the spring blossoms, let’s witness that people and cars go back and forth in the busy streets.”
——还记得我们的约定吗?
— Remember our agreement?
“二两干溜,加辣!”
“A bowl of noodle. Add more chilli oil!”
当久违的吆喝声响起,
When the long-lost shout sounded,
我知道,我熟悉的城市回来了……
I know, the familiar city is coming back...
再一次
Once again
吃到那碗辣到流泪的小面
“Eat a bowl of noodles which is spicy to tears”
再一次
Once again
喝到那杯热气腾腾的豆浆
Drink a cup of steaming soymilk
再一次在早上八点
Once at eight o ‘clock in the morning
被堵在大桥上
Stuck on the bridge
人潮拥挤的街头
Crowded streets
行色匆匆的你我
You and me in a hurry
奔跑着冲向电梯的上班族
Office workers running towards the elevator
办公室里点头互道早安的同事
Colleagues in the office who nod their heads and say “Good morning” to each other
是的
Yes
我熟悉的重庆
Chongqing, which I am familiar with
回来了
Is coming back
阳光打在每个人的脸上
The sun shines on your face
空气中浮动着花香
The air was scented with flowers
火车站,列车时刻表在实时滚动
At the train station, train schedules are rolling in real time
机场外,黄色出租车又排起长龙
Outside the airport, there is a long line of yellow taxis
十字路口,执勤的警察指挥交通
At the crossroad, the policemen on duty are directing the traffic
医院就诊大厅秩序井然
The consultation hall of the hospital is in a good order
商场开门迎客
Shopping malls have been opened to welcome visitors
超市货物琳琅满目
The supermarkets are full of goods
不夜重庆再次开启
Chongqing became 24-hour awake again
洪崖洞的璀璨灯火
Bright lights of Hongyadong
在等你
Are waiting for you
这是我的城市
This is my city
有着我最爱的样子
With my favorite appearance
久别重逢后,我才懂得
After a long separation, I understand that
曾经讨厌的喧嚣也是一种珍贵
The noise that once detest was also precious
看过生离死别,我才明白
Seen life and death, I understand that
那些曾习以为常的点滴
Even little things that used to be normal
便是对岁月静好所有的期许
Were all the expectations for the years
世界很大,幸福很小
The world is big, but happiness is not
希望
I hope that
如期而至的不止春天
Not only spring comes as expected
还有每个更懂得珍惜当下的你
And every one of you who is more appreciative of the present
不在乎什么风景
Don’t care about the scenery
我只想放肆地走
I just want to run wild
走到城市的那头
Walk across the city
去最爱的那家老火锅
Go to my favorite old hotpot restaurant
尝那一口麻辣鲜香的滋味
Have a taste of the spicy
我还要坐上那开往春天的列车
I will catch on the train to spring
和你一起看车水马龙
To witness the busy world
共赴这场与人间烟火的约会
To have a meet with wonderful life
