Translation of the song 蜗牛的家 artist Zheng Zhihua

密密麻麻的高楼大厦

Among the thickly dotted buildings,

找不到我的家

I can't find a home to dwell;

在人来人往的拥挤街道

On the filled and crowded streets,

浪迹天涯

I am roving.

我身上背着重重的壳

I must creep and climb upward,

努力往上爬

With my heavy shell;

却永永远远跟不上

But can never afford the price

飞涨的房价

That keeps soaring.

给我一个小小的家

Give me a home so little,

蜗牛的家

A snail's home.

能挡风遮雨的地方

A place that can keep out

不必太大

Wind and rainstorm.

给我一个小小的家

Give me a home so little,

蜗牛的家

A snail's home.

一个属于自己温暖的

A sweet home belonging to me,

蜗牛的家

A snail's home.
