Chinese Lyrics

夜上海,夜上海
你是个不夜城
华灯起
乐声响
歌舞升平
只见她
笑脸迎
谁知她内心苦闷
夜生活
都为了衣食住行
酒不醉人人自醉
胡天胡地蹉跎了青春
晓色朦胧
倦眼惺忪
大家归去
心灵儿随着转动的车轮
换一换
新天地
别有一个新环境
回味着
夜生活
如梦初醒

English Translation

Night Shanghai, night Shanghai
You are a city that never sleeps
The Light up
The music rang
Sing and dance to extol the good times
I saw her
Smiling face
Who knows she’s depressed
Night-life
All for food
Everyone gets drunk when he is not drunk
Wasted his youth
The dawn is hazy
Sleepy eyes
Everybody go back
The heart follows the wheel of rotation
Change it
New life
Don’t have a new environment
Aftertaste
Night-life
As if wakening from a dream
