夜访吸血鬼 [a late night visit from a vampire]

This is a new Mayday song that I find it impossible not to translate and share the beauty of the lyrics with. It's written from the perspective of a vampire and it's rather interesting but I'd let the lyrics and translations(I hope[after reading them they really don't do the lyrics any justice. total lack of beautiful language]) do themselves justice. The beauty of it in mandarin lies in the lyrics actually rhyming.

夜访吸血鬼

满怀忧伤却流不出泪 (I'm filled with sadness yet no tears flow)　

极度的疲惫却不能入睡 (Extremely tired yet I can't sleep)

只能够日日夜夜 然后又日日夜夜 无尽的日日夜夜 永远的深陷在人间
( I can only be trapped in the mortal world eternally through the endless day and night)

我是蝙蝠却不能飞 (I am a bat, but I can't fly)　

困在日复一日的街 (Trapped in the streets day after day)　

无止尽的狩猎 彷佛一种天谴 (Hunting without respite like a scourge)

夜色就是我的披肩 (The colour of the night is my cape)

日出就是我的风险 (The sunrise is my risk)

舞池里的狂颠　是我宿命之约 (The madness of the dance floor is my contract with fate)

上帝遗弃我们(God has abandoned us)　

却又要给　黯淡的月 照亮世界(Yet he lets the the pale moon illuminate the world)　

要我们无尽又无情的繁衍 (Expecting us to multiply for eternity without feeling)

看爱过的人　一一告别(I see the ones I loved bid farewell one by one)　

做过的梦 一一凋谢( And the dreams I had wither one by one)

只留下我独自残喘的千年 (Leaving me breathing my last breath for millenniums, alone)

无法挥舞天使的纯洁(Unable to wield the purity of angels)　

也无法拥有魔鬼的果决 (Nor the resoluteness of demons)

只有像每个人类(I can only be like every human)　

贪嗔痴傻和愚昧(Angry, corrupt and ignorant)
　
找寻著体温和血　找寻著同类 (Looking for body warmth, fresh blood and my own kind)

满怀忧伤却流不出泪 (I'm filled with sadness yet no tears flow)　

极度的疲惫却不能入睡 (Extremely tired yet I can't sleep)

只能够日日夜夜 然后又日日夜夜 无尽的日日夜夜 永远的深陷在人间
( I can only be trapped in the mortal world eternally through the endless day and night)

饥饿是最好的调味(Starvation is the best seasoning)　

孤独是最强的催眠(Loneliness is the best hypnotism)　

疯狂找一双唇　能够当我酒杯 (Desperately and madly looking for a pair of lips to be my wineglass)

早就对这一切厌倦(I've already been sick and tired of all this for a long time)

也曾愤怒喝下圣水(I've swallowed holy water in a fit of anger)
　
却又无助醒在　下个漫长黑夜 (Yet I helplessly woke up the next long, lonely night)

青春遗忘我们(Youth has abandoned us)
　
却又要给 回忆的美(Yet it lets the beauty of memory)

就像玫瑰(Like a rose)　

要余生流血又流泪的受虐 (Torment us by making us tear and bleed for the remaining of our lives)

看镜中的脸　慢慢枯萎(See the face in the mirror slowly withering)

高举的拳　渐渐粉碎(The raised fist crumbling into powder)　

只留下来了无限唏嘘的相片 (Leaving only endless sad photographs)

无法挥舞天使的纯洁(Unable to wield the purity of angels)　

也无法拥有魔鬼的果决 (Nor the resoluteness of demons)

只有像每个人类(I can only be like every human)　

贪嗔痴傻和愚昧(Angry, corrupt and ignorant)
　
找寻著体温和血　找寻著同类 (Looking for body warmth, fresh blood and my own kind)

满怀忧伤却流不出泪 (I'm filled with sadness yet no tears flow)　

极度的疲惫却不能入睡 (Extremely tired yet I can't sleep)

只能够日日夜夜 然后又日日夜夜 无尽的日日夜夜 永远的深陷在人间
( I can only be trapped in the mortal world eternally through the endless day and night)

一个又一个孤单的千年(The millenniums pass one by one)　

只能够日日夜夜　 然后又日日夜夜　无尽的日日夜夜 (The endless days and nights)

我不能飞(I cannot fly)
