Eli Hsieh — Light (謝震廷 — 燈光)

一個人走在路上不知道是第幾晚上
已沒有人來人往也沒有城市交響
入夜後的台北很漂亮
但怎麼卻感覺很悲傷
Walking alone on the streets
Not knowing how many nights it has been
There ain’t no more hustle and bustle, nor the symphony of the city
The Taipei in the night is very beautiful
But why do I feel so sad

大概是又想起你說說我像個太陽
24小時開朗為人照亮
但其實你說謊你知道
若沒有你我根本就沒有辦法發光
你很健忘沒你在旁哪裡來的力量
感傷這一切都已經成過往
如果時光回放多渴望告訴你
Probably because I thought of what you said, saying I’m like a sun
Being cheerful for 24 hours, brightening others
But you were actually lying. You know that,
without you I’m not able to shine at all
You’re so forgetful. Without you by my side, how do I get the strength?
Sad, how everything has become the past
If I could turn back time, I wish I could tell you…

我不想做太陽我不想再逞強
我只想為你做一盞燈光
在你需要我的時候把開關按下
I don’t want to be a sun. I don’t want to force it anymore.
I only want to be a light for you
And turn the switch on when you need me

你不必再流浪你不必再心慌
不必再去想不必再去扛
我也不必假裝你還在我的身旁
多愚妄
You don’t have to wander anymore. You don’t have to panic anymore.
Don’t need to think about it anymore. Don’t need to shoulder it anymore.
I don’t need to pretend you’re still by my side either
It’s so stupid and wishful thinking of me

一個人走在路上漫無目的地遊蕩
看著路燈的昏黃把陰影拉好長
長到我怎麼樣都追不上
沒有你我永遠都追不上
Walking alone on the streets
Wandering around aimlessly
Look how the dim of the streetlights has stretched the shadows
So stretched that no matter how I just can’t catch up
Without you I’m not ever gonna catch up

大概是又想起你說說我像個太陽
24小時開朗為人照亮
現在聽來誇張你知道
若沒有你我根本就沒有辦法發光
你不健忘你是善良為了讓我堅強
感傷這一切都已經成過往
如果時光回放我一定告訴你
Probably because I once again thought of what you said, saying I’m like a sun
Being cheerful for 24 hours, brightening the others
It sounds so exaggerating now. You know that
without you I’m not able to shine at all
You’re not forgetful. You’re just kind, to make me strong.
Sad, how everything has become the past.
If I can turn back time, I would definitely tell you

我不想做太陽不想再逞強
我只想做你心裡的燈光
在你快離開的時候把開關按下
I don’t want to be a sun. I don’t want to force it anymore.
I only want to be a light in your heart
And turn the switch on when you’re about to leave

我不會再假裝我不會再說謊
I’m not going to fake it anymore.
I’m not going to lie anymore.

我只想陪你一起到遠方
I just want to go into the distance with you

如果說時光真的能夠回放
如果說時光真的能夠回放
如果說時光真的能夠回放..
If I can turn back time
If I can turn back time
If I can turn back time…

Hebe Tien — Forever Love (田馥甄 — 愛著就永遠)

English translation of the lyrics of Hebe Tien’s “Forever Love” (As People Love)

剛剛才告別了冬季
淚還在眼角結著冰
和你　相遇
I just said goodbye to the cold winter
The tears are still frozen at the corner of my eye
Then
I met you

傷痕有相同的氣息
在適合相愛的天氣
為你　猶豫
Our scars share the same scent
In a weather suitable for falling in love
I’m hesitating
For you

我們在寂寞中靠近　擁抱中痊癒
卻不敢輕易說愛情
有些人愛著愛著就變了
而誓言愛著愛著會忘記
We got closer out of loneliness,
cured each other with hugs
But we don’t want to talk about love that rashly
Some people change as they love
And forget promises as they love

我們在微光中前進
曖昧中小心摸索著幸福的道理
怕只怕愛著愛著又放棄
有沒有愛著愛著就永遠　的幸運
We’re heading forward in the glimmer
Being careful with the “liking each other”
Trying to figure how happiness ought to be
Just being afraid people give up as they love
Is there the luck to reach forever, as they love?

說不定永遠很容易
困難的只是誰願意
全心　全意
Perhaps forever is quite easy
The only difficulty is who would
give all his or her heart in

行不行
Would it work

Lala Hsu — Missing Person (徐佳瑩 — 尋人啟事)

讓我看看你的照片究竟為什麼你消失不見
多數時間你在哪邊會不會疲倦你思念著誰
Let me take a look at your photo
how come you would disappear
Where are you most of the time?
Would you be tired?
Who would you be missing?

而世界的粗糙讓我去到你身邊難一些
而緣份的細膩又清楚地浮現你的臉
The roughness of this world
has made it more difficult for me to get by your side
And the delicate destiny yet let your face appear clearly

有些時候我也疲倦停止了思念卻不肯鬆懈
就算世界擋在我前面猖狂地說別再奢侈浪費
sometimes I would get tired too
I stop missing you but I never get myself too relaxed
Even the world has been standing in my way
and telling me furiously, not to waste my time and efforts anymore

我多想找到你輕捧你的臉我會張開我雙手撫摸你的背
請讓我擁有你失去的時間在你流淚之前保管你的淚
I want to find you so badly, and hold your face softly
I will open my arms, and touch your back
Please let me own your missing time
And before you cry, let me keep your tears

Lala Hsu — The Things Tomorrow (徐佳瑩 — 明天的事情)

我們預約明年夏天的旅行
我們預約下個月的舞台劇
我們預約情人節的那家餐廳
可是怎麼知道到時候我還愛你
Let’s reserve the trip next summer
Let’s reserve the stage show next month
Let’s reserve the restaurant for Valentine’s Day
But how would I know, whether I still love you by the time
現在我都說不定了
只能消極地緊緊地抱住你
我不管了什麼都不要聽
不要跟我講明天的事情
I can’t even tell it now
I can only hold you tightly yet passively
I don’t care anymore
I don’t want to hear anything
Don’t talk to me about the things tomorrow

愛情誰都說不定的
只能貪婪地霸道地佔有你
我除了你什麼都不相信
不要再提醒明天的不確定　不確定
No one can be sure about love
so I can only occupy you greedily and overbearingly
I don’t believe in anything other than you
don’t remind me how uncertain tomorrow is
我們說定忘記昨晚的爭執
我們說定改掉討厭的個性
我們說定不在意彼此的情史
可是怎麼知道這樣就會更合適
Let’s forget about the argument yesterday
Let’s change our annoying personalities
Let’s not mind each other’s love history
But how would I know
these would make us fit each other more

Hebe Tien –Your Body Speaks (田馥甄 — 身體都知道)

It’s not the official link, so please still support the official music!

你切片披薩
喝昨夜熬的湯配無糖的綠茶

You cut a splice of pizza
drank the soup you made last night
along with the sugar-free green tea

讓皮膚生長
等頭髮留長把指甲剪斷

Letting the skin grow
Waiting for the hair to lengthen
Cutting the nails

一切都嫺熟平淡
一切不違背自然
Everything is so well-practiced and normal
Everything works as how it should

心情繫於神經末端
高興低潮無非是血液循環

My emotions are tied to the tip of nerves
Being up or down are just a part of blood circulation

覺得苦那就吃一顆糖
If you feel bitter, just have some candy

喔喔喔
輕輕地唱一唱發出你的共鳴
感受呼吸盪氣迴腸
Oh-oh-woah
Sing softly and produce the resonance
Feel your breath stirring within

喔喔喔
心跳不會說謊
你快不快樂你的身體早有答案
oh-oh-woah
Heartbeats wouldn’t lie
Whether you’re happy or not
Your body has the answer long ago

我不也都一樣
走累了就吃飯說了晚安就躺
For me it’s the same
I eat when I’m tired of walking
I lay down straight after I said “goodnight”

謝謝我眼睛雪亮
才能夠見識漂亮
I’m thankful that I got these shiny eyes
So that I get to see beautiful things

流淚就是一種排汗
心酸只是科學別多愁善感
Shedding tears is just a way of perspiration
Feeling bitter is just something scientific
Stop being all emotional

覺得僵那就去做伸展
If you feel stiff (awkward), just do some stretches

喔喔喔
輕輕地唱一唱發出你的共鳴
感受呼吸盪氣迴腸
Oh-oh-woah
Sing softly and produce the resonance
Feel your breath stirring within

喔喔喔
心跳不會說謊
你快不快樂你的身體早有答案
oh-oh-woah
Heartbeats wouldn’t lie
Whether you’re happy or not
Your body has the answer long ago

上一次感冒吞下的苦藥
治癒嗎你的身體都知道
The pills you took during the last cold
Did they work?
Your body speaks

喔喔喔
輕輕地唱一唱發出你的共鳴
感受呼吸盪氣迴腸
Oh-oh-woah
Sing softly and produce the resonance
Feel your breath stirring within

喔喔喔
你聽到你心臟
輸送著力量在靈魂深處迴響
Oh-oh-woah
You can hear your heart
transporting the power and echoing deep inside your soul

喔喔喔
心跳不會說謊
你快不快樂你的身體早有答案
Oh-oh-woah
Heartbeats won’t lie
Whether you’re happy or not
Your body has the answer long ago

S.H.E. — Repair me (S.H.E — 還我)

I swallowed my tears with the lips you kissed
I guess now we don’t owe each other anymore
Let loneliness take away your scent
and I will embrace the unrelated tomorrow slowly and gently

I will return you the promises I once believed
and the dreams that were once so beautiful
all of a sudden my heart feels so empty
do you have anything to return me though?

No I don’t need them ,
neither the future that is no more there nor the apologies
All I want is just happiness
can you please return it to me?

I tried to reset the past and delete every detail of you,
returning myself the days before I fell in love with you

I could take time to wipe away the time I spent with you
who should keep the memories though?

I will return you the promises I once believed
and the dreams that were once so beautiful
all of a sudden my heart feels so empty
do you have anything to return me though?

No I don’t need them ,
neither the future that is no more there nor the apologies
All I want is just happiness
can you please return it to me?

Return me the promises you have taken away,
as well as the dreams we had
My heart is so empty
why can’t you just return them all?

No I don’t need them ,
neither the future that is no more there nor the apologies
can you please just return the old me to me?

I tried to reset the past and delete every detail of you,
returning myself the days before I fell in love with you

Jay Chou feat. aMei — Shouldn’t Be (周杰倫、張惠妹 — 不該)

Just felt like I should do something other than Yoga Lin and Hebe Tien haha.

假裝我們還在一塊
我真的演不出來
還是不習慣你不在
這身份轉變太快
I really can’t pretend that we aren’t together anymore
I’m still not used to you not being around
This change of my status just came too soon

畫面裡不需要旁白
卻誰都看的出來
是我情緒湧了上來
想哭卻一遍空白
Ain’t need no narrator to tell the story
Anyone can tell what it’s about
all my emotions are rolling
I wanna cry but there’s nothing left except a blank

雪地裡相愛他們說零下已結晶的誓言不會壞
但愛的狀態卻不會永遠都冰封而透明的存在
we fell in love in the snow
people say that frozen swears won’t rot
but the state of love can’t be frozen and forever exist

輕輕飄落下來
許下的夢融化的太快
或許我們都不該醒來
it drifted gently and fell slowly
the dream we had melted too soon
maybe we shouldn’t have waken up from it

你還是住在我的回憶裡不出來
讓我們微笑離開讓故事留下來
放手後愛依然在
雪融了就應該花開
緣若盡了就不該再重來
you’re still living in my memories and I just get haunted by it
let’s leave with a smile and let the story stay
love would still be there even if I let you go
after the snow melt, the flowers shall blossom
if this shall be the end of our story
we shouldn’t have tried to start over again

你依舊住在我的回憶裡不出來
我離開將你的手交給下個最愛
糾纏與
（Oh）固執等待
反而是另一種傷害
彼此緊握的手鬆開去擁抱更多未來
you’re still living in my memories and I just get haunted by it
I shall leave and put your hand into your new lover’s
struggling and waiting stubbornly
are just other means of hurting
if we let each other go we could embrace more possibilities

錯過的時間怎麼買
誰都付不出來
或許我們學會釋懷
讓過去安靜下來
how do I purchase the time we have missed?
no one is able to pay for it
maybe we should learn to get over it
and let the past be silent

輕輕飄落下來
許下的夢融化的太快
或許我們都不該醒來
it drifted gently and fell slowly
the dream we had melted too soon
maybe we shouldn’t have waken up from it

Hebe Tien — Love Yourself (田馥甄 — 獨善其身)

English translation of the lyrics of Hebe Tien’s “Love Yourself”. Hope you’d enjoy it!

眼睛在忙著看風景嘴巴想念著甜品
這雙耳朵只想保持安靜
My eyes are busy enjoying the scenery
My mouth is missing the desserts
My pair of ears just want to stay silent

頭髮在纏著它自己呼吸在挑剔空氣
這個腦袋知道何時微醺
My hair is tangled by itself while my breath is being picky on the air
My mind just knows when to be tipsy

要什麼道理身體髮膚天生愛自己
有什麼邏輯想愛別人何止要運氣
先善待這身體靈魂再相遇
先善待這顆心再懂別的心
Why do I need a reason? I love myself, the skin and the body.
Is there a logic? When you want to love someone, you need more than luck.
Treat your body well, then let the souls meet.
Treat your heart well, then understand other one’s.

眼睛會是誰的風景
嘴巴被誰當甜品
這雙耳朵為誰不再安靜
頭髮為誰放開自己呼吸能被誰呼吸
這個腦袋知道讓誰微醺
Whose scenery would my eyes be?
Whose dessert would my mouth be?
Whom would this pair of ears break silence for?
Who would ease the tangle of my hair?
Who would breathe in my breath?
My mind just knows whom to make tipsy

要什麼道理身體髮膚自會有靈犀
有什麼邏輯想愛的人也在愛自己
先善待這身體靈魂才相遇
先善待這顆心就懂誰的心
就懂誰的心就懂誰的心
就懂誰的心
Why do I need a reason? The body and the skin, would know it themselves.
Is there a logic? Someone I want to love would love himself/herself too.
Treat this body well, then let the souls meet.
Treat this heart well, you would then know the other’s.
You would then know the other’s
You would then know the other’s
You would then know the other’s

Yoga Lin –Tiny Part of You (林宥嘉 — 一點點)

你敢不敢承認，我們窮極一生都在追逐得不到的東西。對吧？

Do you dare to admit, that we’ve spent all of our lives pursuing something we can’t achieve? Are we not?

一張早已解散的樂團的專輯海報。一場北極光。一段不可能再重來的畢業旅行。一間座落在好萊塢的億萬豪華別墅。一件懷念但消失在時光洪流中的兒時玩具。一片流星群。一個遙不可及的偶像。
Some posters of a band that has already split up. Some northern lights. Some graduation trip that can’t be turned back. Some luxurious villa in Hollywood. Some childhood toy you miss but has vanished throughout the tides of time. Some shooting stars. Some unreachable idol.

包括一個吻－你早已經知道這輩子永遠無法擁有的，就算只有一點點的那個吻。
Including that one kiss — you already knew you couldn’t own it forever in this life, despite the fact it’s just a tiny kiss.

對於唾手可得的東西，我們通常不屑，我們容易生膩。萬一夢想一不小心就要成真了，我們反而膽怯。因爲我們知道不開的玫瑰不會枯萎。我們非常明白前奏一下就等於預見最後一顆音符。一旦開始就會結束啊。所以很多時候我們寧願不開始。我們把夢想寄托給未知。好讓我們的好奇心跟蹤著未知的腳步，繼續我們的幻想之旅。我們沉溺在幻想中的一切得到與失去。
Towards the reachable things, we usually despise them. We get bored easily. If suddenly the dream is almost being realized, we become frightened instead. Because we know that the roses that don’t bloom wouldn’t fade. We know it very well as the intro starts we shall be prepared for the last note. Once some thing gets started, it would end. So we often would rather not things to start. We let the “unknown” take care of our dreams, to let the curiosity follow the unknown footsteps, in order to continue our imaginary journey.

於是我們從她手中的圓鏡裡看到她迷戀的那一張臉。也看到我們自己的輪廓。我們也曾經為了追隨一個遙不可及的人讓自己淪爲一個賊。我們雖然變成賊，但是卻不心虛。我們一邊感受挫敗，一邊品嘗驕傲。我們在暗戀的微光中成爲偉大的失敗者。偷他的一點點笑容。偷他的一點點哀傷。偷他的一點點體溫。偷他的一點點世界。
Therefore we see the face she’s obsessed with through the mirror in her hand, and see ourselves too. We’ve also once become a thief to pursue something unreachable. Although we were thieves, we were not guilty. We went through failures, while we had a taste of pride. We became great losers in the glimmer of “secret crush”. We stole a tiny part of his smile, a tiny part of his sadness; we stole a tiny part of his temperature, a tiny part of his world.

一點點就足夠。只能一點點。不能超過安全界限。因爲“一旦開始就會結束啊”。你吸收過太多“因開始而結束”的教訓了。所以面對所愛的人，你小心翼翼地珍惜著你和他之間的距離。
A tiny part is enough. I can only steal a tiny part. Because “once some thing gets started, it would end”. You’ve learned too many lessons about “once some thing gets started, it would end”. Therefore, towards the person you love, you treasure the distance in between you carefully.

我們一直誤會青春是文藝純愛電影。
其實青春是殘酷且銳利的獵奇B級片。
We’ve always mistaken “youth” as a “romance film”.
“Youth”, however, is a brutal and hurtful “lame adventure film”.

青春今日營業中。
晚霞很刺眼。有光在你的脖子上跳躍。你在午睡中驚醒。
你跟丟的那個人，一點點地在林宥嘉的迷幻圓鏡中浮現了。
曾經讓你目眩的山巔、湖泊、雲層、他的臉……都在蒙太奇中復活了。
幸福是具體而微。

Youth is selling today.
The sunset was dazzling. There was light “jumping” on your neck. You were suddenly awaken from your nap.
The person you have lost, appeared in Yoga Lin’s imaginary mirror by tiny little bit.
The things that made you dizzy, the mountains, the lakes, the clouds, his face… all revived in this “Montage”.
Happiness is this simple but already complete.

你依然繼續追逐得不到的東西。例如逝去的青春。亦步亦趨。無可自拔。
You’re still chasing after unreachable things. For example, the gone youth. You follow it step by step, and you can’t help with it.

—

我在你看不見的宇宙
或前或後任何星球
引力遙遠的太空
I’m in the universe you can’t see
some planet closer or further
a space with a far far gravitational force

可是我始終在你左右
你的山巔你的湖泊
大氣雲層在飄動
But I’ve always been beside you
your mountains and your lakes
the clouds are drifting in the air

你的每個瞬間不想錯過
像是亦步亦趨才算活過
I don’t want to miss every moment of you
as if I have to follow your every step to feel alive

一點點想像你的臉
一雙眼看見了誰變成了誰
一點點失去你的臉
是因為想成為誰都不像誰
Tiny little bit, I picture your face in my mind
With this pair of eyes, who have I seen and become
Tiny little bit, I lost your face
because I want to become someone but I can’t even look alike

你是誰
who are you

偷偷裝滿著你的一切
反覆咀嚼也是喜悅
幸福是具體而微
I secretly fulfill myself with every piece of you
it’s also a kind of joy to taste it over and over again
Happiness is this simple but already complete

我想我不會讓你知道
不知道就不算遺忘
傷也是享受的傷
I think I wouldn’t wanna let you know
so not knowing doesn’t mean you’re forgetting
It’s a wound I’m enjoying

有時遙不可及才是追求
有時近在身邊反而不懂
Sometimes things have to be unattainable to be pursued
because when it’s by my side I wouldn’t understand instead

你是誰學不會忘記誰
Who are you? I couldn’t manage to forget whom?

一點點想像你的臉
一雙眼看見了誰變成了誰
一點點失去你的臉
是因為想成為誰都不像誰
想到誰就是誰
Tiny little bit, I picture your face in my mind
With this pair of eyes, who have I seen and become
Tiny little bit, I lost your face
because I want to become someone but I can’t even look alike
whoever I think of, it’d be whom then

Hebe Tien — Soul Mate (田馥甄 — 靈魂伴侶)

It’s one my favorite songs in Hebe Tien’s new album.

————————————————————-
若你是一陣春天裡的風
If you were the gust of wind in the spring
那我一定是最遠的風箏
I must be the furthest kite
若你只是一道某個弄堂緊鎖的門
If you were the locked door in some alley
我是門外的藤
I would be the vine outside the door

若你是難得一見的彩虹
If you were the rainbow that could only been seen by chance
我願做路人驚嘆的叫聲
I would like to be people’s exclamations
若你又是一顆可望不可及的星辰
and if you were an unreachable star
我便是眺望眼神
I would be the eyesight gazing afar

然而你選擇做平凡的人
But you’ve chosen to be a normal person
於是我也就愛上你的人
so then I fell in love with this person
甘願我的靈魂困在這個肉身
I would rather my soul be stranded in this body
只求能跟你相襯
to be paired with you

然而你已是最平凡的人
But you’re already the most normal person
看著多美好心卻那麼笨
It’s so good to just look
yet my heart is stupid
雙手和你碰過肩膀和你擦過
I’ve touched your hands and brushed past your shoulders
靈魂卻無法相認
our souls still can’t recognize each other though

當你是不停追逐的秒針
Whilst you’re the constantly running second hand
我是你背後暗湧的齒輪
I would be the upsurging gear behind you
當你還是一滴筆尖尚未乾透的藍
Whilst you’re the blue that is still wet on the tip of the pen
我是紙背上的痕
I would be the mark at the back of the paper

原來你選擇做平凡的人
So you choose to be a normal person
卻不是一個會愛我的人
but you’re still not the person that would love me
不管我的靈魂困在哪個肉身
no matter which body my soul is stranded
都註定不會相襯
we’re doomed not to be paired

原來我已是個平凡的人
So I’m already a normal person
什麼都明白心卻那麼疼
I understand it all but my heart still aches a lot
和你談笑風生和你談過心聲
I’ve enjoyed our chat so much and shared my true thoughts with you
靈魂卻不敢相認
Our souls yet lack the courage to recognize each other
