Hold back the night from us, 憋了一夜的我们，

Cherish the light for us, 珍惜光对我们来说，

Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn. 不要让阴影忍住了曙光。

   

Cold city lights glowing, 寒冷的城市灯光发光，

The traffic of life is flowing, 生命的交通流，

Out over the rivers and on into dark. 出过的河流和入黑暗。

   

I'm going down town where there's music, 我要下去小镇，有音乐，

I'm going where voices fill the air, 我要去哪里的声音充斥在空气中，

Maybe there's someone waiting for me 也许有一个人在等我

With a smile and a flower in her hair 面带微笑和鲜花在她的头发

   

I'm going down town where there's people 我要下去镇那里的人

The loneliness hangs in the air. 寂寞挂在空中。

With no-one there real waiting for me, 有没有人有真正的等着我，

No smile, no flower nowhere. 没有微笑，没有鲜花没有出路的。

   

Cold city 冷市

   

Hold back 憋

   

Hold back the night 忍住夜
