今日天气真好!卢梭
我也这里漫步
看见你仍严肃的思考
那么深刻的那么广泛的
终化作日内瓦湖面冲天的水柱
喷涌滔滔
今日天气真好!卢梭
你忏悔之后是否意识到
你提着爱的灯笼道德的灯笼
是整个欧州的灯笼
将照亮围攻和漫骂你的黑夜
是人类文明的理念在反击
今日天气真好!卢梭
我是想来与您攀谈
你尚未涉及的许多命题
有人解答过总有几分偏激
有的在实践中越来越糊涂
请狠狠地敲醒我脑瓜

What a beautiful day!
I walk here too,Rousseau.
And I watch you're still thinking seriously,
so deep, so extensive that finally becomes
a towering column of water spewing out
of the surface of Lake Geneva
What a beautiful day! Dear Rousseau,
after your confession, are you aware of
the lantern of love and morality you hold
is the lantern that belongs to the whole Europe,
which illuminates the night that besieges and curses you?
It's the idea of human civilization that's fighting back.
What a beautiful day! Dear Rousseau,
how I wish to discuss with you about
many of the topics you haven't covered!
Some people's explanations are always somewhat extreme,
and some people get more and more confused in practice.
Please give me a good knock on the head to wake me up.
