Genius English Translations - Yin Tsar Beijing Evening News English Translation Lyrics

Original Song

When night descends upon my city
The day is only beginning for a certain type of men
Who spend their days sleeping / not going to work
At night they can’t fall asleep / bored at home
Don’t wanna watch TV / don’t wanna surf the web
Because the pictures, they’re not real, all you can do is see and not touch
Where even to find something real?
I wanna go find the real / better that than lounging around
Stop wasting time / find my boys and make some going-out plans
One man’s freedom is another man’s loneliness
[Girls] showing off their legs in their high heels, smells of perfume hanging in the air
These pretty girls, each one’s more aggressive than the next
They know you’re alone
Wanna chat you up, wanna make you [unknown]
Let’s get out of this joint, find an ‘old dirty’ Beijing joint and talk some more

Beijing evening news
Marriage proposals and product advertisements
Nah, they’re all bullshitting, they just want to fuck
Beijing evening news
People lay in their homes, trying to fall asleep
I don’t want that life, not at all
Beijing Evening News
Some people drink and some people get high
Some people like to get wild and fuck bareback
Beijing Evening News
Folks at home call me a night owl, because I only go out in the dark
But by the night’s wee hours, the mood shifts again
There are too many hungry wolves now, not enough sheep
There’s a bunch of old men sitting around
Who want to end this drunken evening with a bang
People unload their goods / or get the hell out / or take their girls out to drink counterfeit foreign liquor
I saw a play, or perhaps I saw two good for nothing idiots
People laughed at their antics, which got them riled
Scared all the girls away, made a fool of themselves
The bar called the cops, and I got out of there

I took my ride out into the night
From the Second Ring to the Third Ring, no traffic in sight
An infinite constellation of neon illuminates my world
No matter how late, the bathhouses are always open
Red white and blue car lights shine down the avenue
But they’ll always pretend to not see this

Beijing evening news
There are people seeking and people who take photos
Fights breaking out, but not many bullies
Beijing evening news
People sleeping in the tunnels underground
People wining and dining on the country’s dime
Beijing evening news
People late for their drug tests
Danger is constantly by your side, heart’s racing when you play
Beijing evening news
Beijing will get bigger and busier
But we will never quite find the way it felt before
In the depths of the evening
There are still people furiously working
Old people walk the streets
Picking up after people’s empty bottles
Drunks, beggars, madmen and idiots
They might be fakes or scammers, one can never tell
Weekday or weekend, everyone’s trying to hustle
[?]

Wherever there’s the most girls, there’s the most drunks
The profiteers play their ghostly numbers, games for the rich
These pretty girls drinking toasts, they’ll black out soon
[?]
Party officials’ motorcades roll up in front of the bar
Pretty girls hiding in the bathroom
The bar’s serving up foreign liquor with duck necks
Starlets and big-name models
Sitting with the old farts in their booths
Police patrol cars, Dongbei pimps
Female students waving their college ID’s but can’t score a discount

Beijing is still being built, but the people have already changed
Everything I’ve seen
Who can even make sense of it all?

Beijing Evening News
You’re sick and need medicine
But the pharmacy is too expensive and you can’t get it reimbursed
Beijing Evening News
The butchers display sheep heads on the counter, but they sell dog meat
Too many madmen and idiots teaching in the universities
Beijing Evening News
I owe tuition but I ain’t paying them back
Because those schools are out to scam me
Beijing Evening News
If your ass isn’t perky enough
And you wanna be a star, let the director fuck you
Lots of people read the Beiing Evening News every day
They talk about important state matters that you should know’
I think that stuff matters at all
I don’t care whose picture is in the headlines
I heard they put laundry powder into the youtiao
I heard about Ma Jaijue and 911
I heard the monkeys in the zoo escaped
I heard so much bullshit that I just about snapped

I leave the city center
My mind’s still roiling, it won’t be still
Soundproofed my room but my neighbors still complain about the noise
Heading out the door I find a Beijing Evening News in the trash
Pages and pages of ads
Who died?
That shit’s got nothing to do with me
I just wanna see which girl’s the hottest
Which new leader did the Party appoint, well who gives a shit
Who won 5 million, who’s broke all the time
Only idiots hire private detectives to look into extramarital affairs
Taxi drivers wouldn’t drive you around in circles for no reasons at all

It is only around 4-5pm each day
When the cries of “Beijing Evening News!” fill the streets
That you’ll finally feel at one
With the city of Beijing
