1993年 初秋 好热
Early autumn 1993 It was hot that day
他排着长长的队
He stood in a long line
鬓角淌着汗水
his hair dripping with sweat
他说这是第一次愉快的约会
He said it was his first date
手里拿着影票
He wished he could make her laugh hopefully
期待她会心一笑
with the film tickets in his hand
1997年 把孩子哄好
In 1997 after tucking their baby in
深夜的影院播放着泰坦尼克号
They watched the late night movie Titanic
就看那风吹梧桐小路
It began to breeze when they walked on the road covered by Chinese parasol leaves
他们手牵手说杰克也曾出演过发展的烦恼
He held her hand and said Jack also starred Growing Pains
电影到底是什么呀
What is film
电影到底是什么呢
What is film
大概它是我们漫长的生活中
Film might be
期待的仪式感
a ritual in their everyday life
这座城市遍布浪漫的故事
Romance happens in this metropolis
耐心地等待 从陌生到熟知
From strangers to acquaintance while waiting
长长的军队
Though the line is long
短短的间隔
the distance between them is narrowing
这是他们 相爱的办法
This is how they fall in love with each other
一部又一部 就这样度过了春夏
Film after film time passes by
青春的诗篇 写了一篇又一篇
Year by year youth fades
那么生活到底是什么呢
What is life
答案又有多少人知道
How many people know the answer
2007年 一家三口在浦江边
In 2007 a family of three was predicting
彼此辩论最佳影片 是不是吴清源
whether The Go Master would win the Best Feature Film
辩论不休 父子俩焦急红了脸
The father and the son argued
她笑着让他们争辩
while the mother just let them smiling
空气中满是茉莉的味道
Sweet scent of jasmine filled the air
电影到底是什么呀

大概它是我们漫长的生活中

Though the line is long
短短的间隔
the distance between them is narrowing
这是他们相爱的办法
This is how they fall in love with each other
这座大都邑已经发生太多的故事
A lot of stories happened in this city
关于电影 关于生活
about film and about life
他们毕业 他们相爱
They graduate they fall in love
他们年轻的小孩
their young kids
还有他们 热爱的上海
and the city they love Shanghai
一部又一部 就这样度过了春夏
Film after film time passes by
青春的诗篇 写了一篇又一篇
Year by year youth fades
那么生活到底是什么呢

2017年 初夏 好热
In 2017 it was hot in early summer
他们正逐步变老 统统都挺好
They are getting old together
孩子推开门 手中握着本日的影票
Their child came in with the film tickets of today
下午阳光照进了窗台
Showering the afternoon sun
他们会心一笑
they smiled in the glory of the sun
