Lyrics & translation
Verse
在大堂灯光下弯腰。
Bending low in lobby light.
擦亮今晚的皮靴。
Polishing boots for the night.
手中没有硬币落下。
No coins drop in my hand.
只有远方传来的话语。
Just words from a distant land.
Chorus
故事是最好的小费。
Story is the finest tip.
陌生人唇间的魔力。
Magic from a stranger's lip.
故事是最好的小费。
Story is the finest tip.
陌生人唇间的魔力。
Magic from a stranger's lip.
Verse
旅人诉说着白雪。
A traveler tells of the snow.
一个男人谈起恩典。
One man speaks of a grace.
寻回了他哥哥的脸庞。
Finding his old brother's face.
Chorus
故事是最好的小费。
Story is the finest tip.
陌生人唇间的魔力。
Magic from a stranger's lip.

Magic from a stranger's lip.
Verse
我将礼物藏在胸口。
I keep these gifts in my chest.
让心安宁的财富。
Wealth that puts my heart to rest.
那场重逢如此闪亮。
That reunion shines so bright.
我最爱的圣诞光芒。
My favorite Christmas light.
Chorus
故事是最好的小费。
Story is the finest tip.
