Genius English Translations
Qing Feng Wu 吳青峰 - 太空人 (Spaceman) (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
Lonely spaceman
After returning to Earth
Back to the ordinary and unusual life
Maybe, at a certain moment
You can see clearly in the darkest night
I had been shining bright for you

[Pre-Chorus]
That star you’ve been watching
Has been dead thousands of years before
You were with me
I was with you
And the flickering love we shared in the past

[Chorus]
We were intimate, your dance was so effortless
Those days of sweet talk and gentle attractions
Pity that my world has no water or oxygen
My deafness thought you said “carry on”
Instead you said: “move on”

[Verse 2]
Spinning spaceman
When you return to the crowd
Sitting under the bright yet uncertain sunlight (Hmm)
Maybe, at a certain moment
You will see clearly in the darkest night
Exclaiming: “ that star have once shone for me”

[Pre-Chorus]
Yet the light you’re seeing
Have travelled thousands of years to arrive
You were with me
I was with you
And the flickering love we shared in the past

[Chorus]
We were intimate, your dance was so effortless
Those days of sweet talk and gentle attractions
Pity that my world has no water or oxygen
My deafness thought you said “together”
Instead you said: “forsaken”

[Outro]
Departing spaceman
When you land
Step back into the echoes that you’ve yearned
Maybe, at a certain moment
In the darkest night
Lamenting the flickering love we shared in the past
Perhaps we will meet again
Once you have the courage to fly
