Men are all around me
Like planets orbiting the sun
I love you all
But I don’t want any of you

Men are all around me
Because of me, they become daft and dizzy
I most love watching
The way you all are when you’re hopelessly confused

You ardently pursue, I pretend to be unmoved
When you feel neglected, I give you another piece of candy

Men are all around me
One two three four, all in a row
Don’t say it's love
It’s nothing more than a game

Whether you’re handsome
Older
From a rich family, from a powerful family, have a ton of money
All of you belong to me
I love you

Title: 男人们围在我身旁
Artist: Mr.Miss组合
Link: https://streetvoice.com/MrMiss2009/songs/387906/
Translation: https://www.notion.so/3c8eb23790634d679b5ce85aa54971a1

Chinese lyrics

男人们围在我身旁
像行星绕着太阳
我爱你们
可我一个都不要

男人们围在我身旁
为我晕头又转向
我最爱看
你们不知所措的模样

你 穷追不舍了,我就假装冷漠
当你失落了,我再给你颗糖果

男人们围在我身旁
一二三四排成行
别提爱情
不过是玩了游戏一场

不管你长得帅的
年纪大的
富二代,官二代,超有钱的
全都属于我
I love you

Challenge #113: I'm a fish, and I only have a 7-second memory


Lyrics

Use the translated English lyrics below to find the title and artist of the song. Bonus points for providing a video or audio link. A short audio clip is provided as an additional hint, should you need it.
 



I’m a fish
You’re outside the fish tank and I’m looking at you
Tap, tap the glass
You smile at me and leave

Swim, swim, nevertheless I’ve almost forgotten you
Even the distance between you and me
Nestle against the shadow you cast in the water
Full of expectation that you’ll come close again

Long to lay in your warm palm
Feel you, embrace you, kiss you
Unfortunately, I can only continuously swim
Pretend that I'm a fish with a 7-second memory
I’m a fish, a fish

I’m a fish
Can’t understand your words
Silent in the water, breathing
Can’t bear to close my eyes

Swim, swim, I’ll keep you even more firmly in mind
Including your every expression
Water fills the eyes, silently
Blurs your image, separates you

Long to lay in your warm palm
Feel you, embrace you, kiss you
Kiss you

Long to lay in your warm palm
Feel you, embrace you, kiss you
Unfortunately, I can only continuously swim
Pretend that I'm a fish with a 7-second memory

I’m a fish
Only have a 7-second memory

Title: 鱼
Artist: 姚贝娜

Chinese lyrics

我是一只鱼
望着鱼缸外的你
敲了敲玻璃
你对我微笑离去

游啊游啊,我却快忘了你
甚至你和我的距离
依偎你在水中的倒影
满怀期待你再靠近

渴望躺在你温暖掌心
感受你,拥抱你,亲吻你
可惜我只能游个不停
装作鱼 只有七秒记忆
我是鱼,是鱼

我是一只鱼
听不懂你的言语
沉默在水里呼吸
舍不得闭上眼睛

游啊游啊,我会再牢记你
还有你每一个表情
水灌进眼底,无声无息
却模糊了你,隔开你

渴望躺在你温暖掌心
感受你,拥抱你,亲吻你
亲吻你

渴望躺在你温暖掌心
感受你,拥抱你,亲吻你
可惜我只能游个不停
装作鱼 只有七秒记忆

我是一只鱼
只有七秒的记忆
