从什么都没有的地方
cong2 shi2 me5 du1 mei2 you3 de5 di4 fang1
From a place where had nothing

到什么都没有的地方
dao4 shi2 me5 du1 mei2 you3 de5 di4 fang1
To a place where has nothing.

我们 像没发生事一样
wo3 men5 xiang4 mei2 fa1 sheng1 shi4 yi2 yang4
Us, like there is nothing happened.

自顾地 走在路上
zi4 gu4 di5, zou3 zai4 lu4 shang5
Attending to oneself and walking on the road,

忘掉了的人只是泡沫
wang4 diao4 le5 de5 ren2 zhi3 shi4 pao4 mo4
The person who got forgotten is just a bubble.

用双手轻轻一触就破
yong4 shuang1 shou3 qing1 qing1 yi2 chu4 jiu4 po4
Using both hands, one touched then it broke.

泛黄 有他泛黄的理由
fan4 huang2 you3 ta1 fan4 huang2 de5 li3 you2
Fading yellow has its reasons to become fading yellow.

思念将 越来越薄
si1 nian4 jiang1 yue4 lai2 yue4 bo2
The missing is going to be thinner and thinner.

你微风中浮现的从前的面容
ni3 wei2 feng1 zhong1 fu2 xian4 de5 cong2 qian2 de5 mian4 rong2
Your facial features that in the past floated to appearance in the breeze,

已被吹送到天空
yi3 bei4 chui1 song4 dao4 tian1 kong1
had been blown to the sky.

我在脚步急促的城市之中
wo3 zai4 jiao3 bu4 ji2 cu4 de5 cheng2 shi4 zhi1 zhong1
I, within the rapid paced city,

依然一个人生活
yi1 ran2 yi2 ge5 ren2 sheng1 huo2
Still live alone.

我也曾经憧憬过 后来没结果
wo3 ye3 zeng2 jing1 chong1 jing3 guo4, hou4 lai2 mei2 jie2 guo3
I once also longed for it, however, there is nothing in the end.

只能靠一首歌真的在说我
zhi3 neng2 kao4 yi4 shou3 ge2 zhen1 de5 zai4 shuo1 wo3
Can only rely on a song that is talking about myself,

是用那种特别干哑的喉咙
shi4 yong4 na4 zhong3 te4 bie2 gan1 ya3 de3 hou2 long2
It is using that special kind dry and hoarse throat

唱着淡淡的哀愁
chang4 zhe5 dan4 dan4 de5 ai1 chou2
To sing faint sadness.

我也曾经做梦过 后来更寂寞
wo3 ye3 zeng2 jing1 zuo4 meng4 guo4, hou4 lai2 geng4 ji2 mo4
I once also dreamed, however, later I become more lonesome.

我们能留下的其实都没有
wo3 men2 neng2 liu2 xia4 de5 qi2 shi2 du1 mei2 you3
What we could leave behind, in fact, there is nothing.

原谅我用特别沧桑的喉咙
yuan2 liang4 wo3 yong4 te4 bie2 cang1 sang1 de5 hou2 long2
Forgive me that using special vicissitudes of life’s throat

假装我很怀旧 假装我很痛
jia3 zhuang1 wo3 hen3 huai2 jiu4, jia3 zhuang1 wo3 hen3 tong4
To pretend that I am very nostalgic; pretend that I badly ache.

Quotes about nothing:

“I love to talk about nothing. It’s the only thing I know anything about.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Nothing, Everything, Anything, Something: If you have nothing, then you have everything, because you have the freedom to do anything, without the fear of losing something.”
― Jarod Kintz

“I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.”
― Plato

“She’d cried over a broken heart before. She knew what that felt like, and it didn’t feel like this. Her heart felt not so much broken as just … empty. It felt like she was an outline empty in the middle. The outline cried senselessly for the absent middle. The past cried for the present that was nothing.”
― Ann Brashares

“From the moment we are born, we begin to die.”
― Janne Teller, Nothing

“There’s no such thing as nothing. In every nothing, there’s a something. In fact, there could be everything!”
― Libba Bray

Joyous gongs and delightful drums are booming and clanging. The sounds of cymbals are piercing the sky.

To pray for a good harvest for the year and the travelers will all be safe.

Sadness, happiness, uniting and parting are always unpredictable; knowing to be content will make one’s status of mind more unstressed.

Quotes about religion:

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

― Mother Teresa

“Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.”
― Garrison Keillor

“I know God won’t give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish he didn’t trust me so much.”
― Mother Teresa

“Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
― Albert Einstein, The World as I See It

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”
― Albert Einstein

“Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man … living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.”
― George Carlin

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
― Charles Bukowski

“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“Hate the sin, love the sinner.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“God has no religion.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..”
― John Milton, Paradise Lost

“When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion.”
― Abraham Lincoln

“Above all else, guard your heart for it affects everything else you do.”
― Anonymous, Holy Bible: New International Version

“I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.”
― John Lennon

“All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.”
― Dalai Lama XIV
