“Night Cat 夜猫” (2012) is a synth-driven disco-pop track that embodies the retro aesthetic of Mosaic Band | 马赛克. The lyrics celebrate nocturnal freedom, rejecting societal expectations (e.g., punctuality, productivity) in favor of nightlife, music, and self-expression. The chorus (“I am a night cat | 我是一一夜猫”) reflects the cyclical hedonism of urban nightlife, while the playful tone masks a subtle critique of rigid work culture.
The upbeat tempo and synths evoke 1980s disco, aligning with the band’s revivalist approach to Chinese indie pop. Released during the boom of indie music in China, “Night Cat” resonated with young audiences.

Original
当我醒来
太阳已喝醉
这个冬天
特别寒冷
没有人
能跟我说话
黄色夜猫
只有它知道
当我睡去
月亮也喝醉
干燥的嘴巴
说不出话
在房间里
有些声音
黄色夜猫
在独自玩耍
Oh my girl, don’t let me alone
Oh my friend, don’t let me alone
Beautiful world, don’t lie to me
I need your love, don’t let me alone
让我再一次拥有你
不要让我醉倒在夜里
让我再一次拥有你
不要让我醉倒在夜里
没必要
也想不起谁
也忘记有家可以回
做张牙舞爪的鬼
天亮出演独角戏
又为谁钟爱的口味 醉
在镜子前看看是谁
看看摊开的无为
在爆破枷锁后是不是面目全非 嘿
听我的故事 用我的方式
想靠在一起取暖
别在意结尾 My Lady
我的黄色夜猫常在夜里玩耍
代替着酒精的消化和爆炸
顺便代替我短暂蒸发
酒杯都生了霉
单人床裹紧着双人被
无所谓 难入睡
让我再一次拥有你
不要让我醉倒在夜里
让我再一次拥有你
不要让我醉倒在夜里
让我再一次拥有你
不要让我醉倒在夜里
让我再一次拥有你
不要让我醉倒在夜里

When I wake up
The sun is already drunk
This winter
Is especially cold
No one
Can talk to me
The yellow night cat
Only it knows
When I fall asleep
The moon is drunk too
My dry lips
Can’t speak
In the room
There are some sounds
The yellow night cat
Is playing alone
Oh my girl, don’t let me alone
Oh my friend, don’t let me alone
Beautiful world, don’t lie to me
I need your love, don’t let me alone
Let me have you once again
Don’t let me get drunk in the night
Let me have you once again
Don’t let me get drunk in the night
There’s no need
I don’t remember anyone
I forgot I had a home
Acting like a snarling ghost
At dawn I play a solo drama
Drunk again for someone’s favorite flavor
Looking in the mirror—who is that?
Look at the spread-out helplessness
Am I completely changed after breaking the shackles? Hey
Listen to my story in my own way
Want to stay close and keep warm
Don’t mind the ending, my lady
My yellow night cat always plays in the dark
It substitutes for alcohol’s digestion and explosion
And for my brief disappearance
The wine glass is moldy
A single bed wrapped in a double blanket
Doesn’t matter—just hard to sleep
Let me have you once again
Don’t let me get drunk in the night
Let me have you once again
Don’t let me get drunk in the night
Let me have you once again
Don’t let me get drunk in the night
Let me have you once again
Don’t let me get drunk in the night
