灯还亮着 (Dēng Hái Liàng Zhe) - The Light Is Still On

窗外的雪 又落了一场 你留的灯 还留着一点光 我走得太远 走过太多地方 才发现每一步 都朝着一个方向 你从不问我 什么时候回来 你只说 门一直开着 家不是地方 是你站的地方 风吹了多久 灯就亮了多长 我走过山海 走过整个他乡 回头 你还站在原来的地方 你的手 比我记得的还要瘦 桌上还是 摆着四双筷 我以为长大 是走得越来越远 才知道长大 是学会回头望 我们都在赶 却忘了为谁赶 家不是地方 是你站的地方 风吹了多久 灯就亮了多长 我走过山海 走过整个他乡 回头 你还站在原来的地方 回头 你还站在原来的地方 Approximate English translation. Some lines carry meaning in Mandarin that doesn't cross over cleanly: Outside the window, the snow has fallen again The light you left still holds a little brightness I walked too far, through too many places Only to find every step pointed one way You never asked when I'd come back You only said, the door stays open Home isn't a place, it's where you stand However long the wind blew, that's how long the light stayed on I crossed mountains and seas, crossed every foreign land I turned around, and you were still standing where you were Your hands are thinner than I remember Four pairs of chopsticks are still set on the table I thought growing up meant walking further away Then learned growing up means learning to look back We're all rushing And forgot who we're rushing for Home isn't a place, it's where you stand However long the wind blew, that's how long the light stayed on I crossed mountains and seas, crossed every foreign land I turned around, and you were still standing where you were I turned around, and you were still standing where you were
