Now I'm seventeen
My school is in the country
Students wear trainers
Read the same magazines
Now I'm seventeen
My school is getting tiresome
Teachers – they're so young
Singling me out
Only like philosophy and after school the time
That's what I call my own, my own time
Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
While other girls go straight home
Talking 'bout soaps 'n' that
I go home alone
Like it watching the nameless people
Surfing subways, traveling somewhere
“…nowhere…”
Now I'm seventeen
I do not have a title
Depend on no one else
Busy being kind
Only like philosophy and after school time
That's what I call my own, my own time
Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
While other girls go straight home
Talking 'bout soaps 'n' that
I go home alone
And have dinner in my sweet sweet home
Praying again, again and again
I see the same faces in school and they say that I am different
I think it's an honor
I say it's an honor to be different
I can't go their way
Surfing subways, traveling somewhere
Nowhere nowhere ...
Now I'm seventeen... now I'm seventeen.
今年，我十七
学校在村儿里
同学都穿运动鞋
翻着一样的杂志
今年，我十七
学校的日子变得无聊
老师-都没经验太年轻
将我单单挑出
只爱哲学和放学后的时光
那才是我自己的，自己的时段
放学后好姑娘都去找了棒小伙
而其他的只好直接回家
聊聊肥皂剧或者其他
我自己回家
爱看那些陌生人
乘着地铁，去向某个地方
“…不知名的地方…”
今年，我十七
没有职位可当
没有人可依赖
一味忙着做个烂好人
只爱哲学和放学后的时光
那才是我自己的，自己的时段
放学后好姑娘都去找了棒小伙
而其他的只好直接回家
聊聊肥皂剧或者其他
我自己回家
在温馨的家里吃个晚饭
我祈祷再三
学校里我看他们长的都没差
他们却说我是个另类
我想这是种荣幸
很荣幸成为一个例外
要和他们一样我实在做不到
乘着地铁，去向某个地方
不知名的地方，不知名的地方…
今年，我十七…现在，我十七…
