Theme song to the movie So Young
Lyrics:李檣 (Li, Qiang)
Composition:竇鵬(Dou, Peng)

他不羈的臉,像天色將晚。
His unruly face, is like the sky at dusk.
她洗過的髮,像心中火焰。
Her washed hair, is like the blaze in one’s heart.
短暫的狂歡,以為一生綿延。
This brief revelry, we thought it’d last the rest of our lives.
漫長的告別,是青春盛宴。
The lengthy farewell, the regalement of youth.

 我冬夜的手,像滾燙的誓言。
My hand in the winter night, like a searing promise.
你閃爍的眼,像脆弱的信念。
Your flickering eyes, like the frail conviction.
貪戀的歲月,被無情償還。
The years clung to, paid back with callus.
驕縱的心性,已煙消雲散。
The arrogant and self-indulgent temperament, has vanished into thin air.
瘋了,累了,痛了
Crazy, tired, hurt
人間喜劇
The human comedy
笑了,叫了,走了
Laughed, screamed, left
青春離奇
Youth is odd

良辰美景奈何天
Such a wonderful time, beautiful scenary, a wonton day
為誰辛苦為誰甜。
For whom to toil? For whom to be sweet?
這年華青澀逝去,
The years of youth are gone,
卻別有洞天。
yet this is a world of its own.

良辰美景奈何天
Such a wonderful time, beautiful scenary, a wonton day
為誰辛苦為誰甜。
For whom to toil? For whom to be sweet?
這年華青澀逝去,
The years of youth are gone,
卻別有洞天。
yet this is a world of its own.

瘋了,累了,痛了
Crazy, tired, hurt
人間喜劇
The human comedy
笑了,叫了,走了
Laughed, screamed, left
青春離奇
Youth is odd
