OneRepublic-Counting Stars 
挺喜歡這首歌，對這首歌也有不少感觸
為何長大後的世界都圍繞著功名利祿?
因為不想變成這樣的人
更要努力提醒自己能夠成為不以錢(或外在一切)來衡量價值的人...

OneRepublic - Counting Stars【Lyrics】(中譯歌詞- OneRepublic-數星星)

[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep 最近我一直失眠
Dreaming about the things that we could be 幻想著我們未來打算要做的事
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard 寶貝，我一直努力祈禱著
Said no more counting dollars (祈求)不再計算著錢財
We'll be counting stars 我們會(一起)數著星星
Yeah, we'll be counting stars 是的，我們會數著星星

[Verse 1]
I see this life 我明白這生活
Like a swinging vine 像是隨風搖擺的藤蔓
Swing my heart across the line 使我的心搖晃著 而超越了限度
In my face is flashing signs 在我面前是(許多)閃爍的記號
Seek it out and ye shall find 仔細尋找你就會察覺

Old, but I'm not that old (說)年老，但我還說不上年邁
Young, but I'm not that bold (說)年輕，我卻沒那麼膽大
And I don't think the world is sold 我不覺得這世界已被出賣
I'm just doing what we're told 我只是做著我們被告知應當做的事情

I feel something so right 我感覺某些事多麼正確
By doing the wrong thing 卻是透過做不對的事情(來感覺)
And I feel something so wrong 而我感覺某些事是如此不對勁
By doing the right thing 卻是因為做了對的事情
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie 我不該說謊，無法說謊，不能說謊
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
但毀滅我的每一件事 才使我有生存的感覺

[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!) 最近我一直失眠
Dreaming about the things that we could be幻想著我們未來打算要做的事
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!) 寶貝，我一直努力祈禱著
Said no more counting dollars (祈求)不再計算著錢財
We'll be counting stars我們會(一起)數著星星

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!) 最近我一直失眠
Dreaming about the things that we could be 幻想著我們未來打算要做的事
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!) 寶貝，我一直努力祈禱著
Said no more counting dollars (祈求)不再計算著錢財
We'll be, we'll be counting stars 我們會，我們會(一起)數著星星

[Verse 2:]
I feel the love 我感覺到愛
And I feel it burn 同時我也感覺愛在燃燒
Down this river every turn 順著這河蜿蜒而下
Hope is our four letter word 理想抱負只是我們所謂的four letter word¹
Make that money 汲汲營營地賺錢
Watch it burn 看著它花費殆盡

Old, but I'm not that old (說)年老，但我還說不上年邁
Young, but I'm not that bold (說)年輕，我卻沒那麼膽大
And I don't think the world is sold 我不覺得這世界已被出賣
I'm just doing what we're told 我只是做著我們被告知應當做的事情

And I feel something so wrong 而我感覺某些事是如此不對勁
By doing the right thing 卻是因為做了對的事情
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie 我不該說謊，無法說謊，不能說謊
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
但淹沒我的每一件事 都使我想要高飛

[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!) 最近我一直失眠
Dreaming about the things that we could be幻想著我們未來打算要做的事
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!) 寶貝，我一直努力祈禱著
Said no more counting dollars (祈求)不再計算著錢財
We'll be counting stars我們會(一起)數著星星

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!) 最近我一直失眠
Dreaming about the things that we could be 幻想著我們未來打算要做的事
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!) 寶貝，我一直努力祈禱著
Said no more counting dollars (祈求)不再計算著錢財
We'll be, we'll be counting stars 我們會，我們會(一起)數著星星

Oh, oh, oh. 噢…

[Bridge 4x:]
Take that money 拿起那些錢
Watch it burn 看著它燃燒殆盡
Sink in the river 沒入河流裡
The lessons I learned 這就是我學到的教訓

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
毀滅我的每一件事 才使我有生存的感覺

[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!) 最近我一直失眠
Dreaming about the things that we could be 幻想著我們未來打算要做的事
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!) 寶貝，我一直努力祈禱著
Said no more counting dollars (祈求)不再計算著錢財
We'll be counting stars 我們會(一起)數著星星

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!) 最近我一直失眠
Dreaming about the things that we could be 幻想著我們未來打算要做的事
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!) 寶貝，我一直努力祈禱著
Said no more counting dollars (祈求)不再計算著錢財
We'll be, we'll be counting stars 我們會，我們會(一起)數著星星

[Outro 4x:]
Take that money 拿起那些錢
Watch it burn 看著它燃燒殆盡
Sink in the river 沒入河流裡
The lessons I learned 這就是我學到的教訓
