悬日（田馥甄）： English Translation

PinkOlifantLeave a comment

田馥甄 (Hebe Tien)
悬日 (Let it…)
作词 / Lyricist：葛大为 (David Ke)
作曲 / Composer：刘庭佐[知更] (Ting Tso Liu)
编曲 / Arranger: 柯宏升 (Keke Ke), 罗恩妮 (Annie Lo)
制作人 / Producer: 陈建骐 (Chen Chien Chi)

黄昏宣告著 今天已死亡
The setting Sun is announcing the death of today
淡去的光阴 是我的战场
Those fading memories are my war zones
重遇在热络的市集
We met again at a crowded night market
我很喜欢你的她
I like her
多配你呀
How compatible both of you are

是真的开心 不是在作假
I was truly happy, I wasnot faking
没有烟硝 互动健康
There was no fighting, what a healthy interaction we had
赶紧拿出我的手机
Thinking about taking out my phone
也让你看看我的他
and showing you the photo of my partner
不介意的话
If you didn’t mind

落下 同一颗太阳
The setting of the same Sun
有什么特别的吗
Is there anything special?
你还不是一样
Aren’t you just like the Sun
温暖却停在远方
Warm yet afar

对峙著不可能的爱情
Facing love, an impossible love
也该像悬日那样
We should just let it…
让它落下
Let it set like the evening Sun

她刻意放空自己
She had purposely let her mind wander
想留点时间让我们
Trying to give us some time
再说说话
To say a few more words
我像在愚弄自己
I was making a fool of myself
演那出破绽百出的 心胸宽大
Trying to act as if I had let go of the past,
Deeply flawed, I know my acting was

你不忘调侃自己
Not forgetting to ridicule yourself
不够好却总是有人
You claimed that you’d never been good enough yet there’s always someone
为你牵挂
Who’s willing to care for you
我又被回忆波及
Memories flashed across my mind again
心怎会这样不强壮
Why couldn’t my heart be stronger

落下 同一颗太阳
The setting of the same Sun
有什么特别的吗
Is there anything special?
你还不是一样
Aren’t you just like that Sun
温暖却停在远方
Warm yet afar

对峙著不可能的爱情
Facing love, an impossible love
也该像悬日那样
We should just let it…
让它落下
Let it set like the evening Sun
让它落下
Let it set…
让我放下
Let me let go of the past…
我没放下
I have not let go…
我想放下
I wish to let go…

谢谢那年的那个你
让我如今听情歌时
能感同身受

小时候的我们（周兴哲）： English Translation

PinkOlifantLeave a comment

周兴哲 (Eric Chou)
小时候的我们 (When We Were Young)
作词 / Lyricist：周兴哲 (Eric Chou), 吴易纬
作曲 / Composer：周兴哲 (Eric Chou)
编曲 / Arranger: Freddy Haggstam

 

在你遗忘的 小时候 我在等著
I am waiting for you in our childhood memories,
A place where you might have forgotten
调色盘装满了 宇宙的颜色 单纯狂热
Our palette contained the colours of the universe, innocence and passion
哭是直觉的 笑是发自真心的
Crying was based on instinct,
While laughing came from the bottom of our heart
喜欢就拥抱著 没有复杂的 嫉妒猜测
Fondness leads to embrace,
Things were simple,
Free from jealousy and suspicion

这些年 遍体鳞伤 你 不想认输了
Wounds and scars paved your life these years,
You no longer wish to admit defeat
委屈求全 妥协 不得不做的选择
Yet you are forced to choose between difficult choices,
You gave in gradually
最后得到了什么
What did you get in the end?

从哪一天开始 不后悔 跟爱的人争执
From which day did you stop regretting after quarrelling with your lover?
势不两立地对峙 这样子
No one gave in during confrontations
承诺还有谁坚持
Is anyone still holding on to those promises?
愿望 停止 开始
Is your wish ending or beginning?

你追随的 渴望的 握在手里了
Having whatever you desired or dreamt since young
怎么会 失去了 小时候的快乐 为什么
Why would you lose the happiness you had when you were young?
你付出的 失去的 都成为你了
Whatever you paid or lost on the way,
Had shaped you into who you are today
要永远 相信著 小时候的我们 勇敢著
You must always believe that we were so brave when we were young

在你遗忘的 小时候 我在等著
I am waiting for you in our childhood memories,
A place where you might have forgotten
调色盘装满了 宇宙的颜色 单纯狂热
Our palette contained the colours of the universe, innocence and passion
哭是直觉的 笑是发自真心的
Crying was based on instinct,
While laughing came from the bottom of our heart
喜欢就拥抱著 没有复杂的 嫉妒猜测
Fondness leads to embrace,
Things were simple,
Free from jealousy and suspicion

这些年 没有黯淡 你 眼神的光泽
If the fire in your eyes did not diminish over the years
还有向往 就为自己任性地选择
If you still yearn for your dreams,
Why not make a daring decision
成为独一无二的
To become the one and only

还来得及开始 去追回 爱的人的消逝
You are still in time to chase back those whom youlove
哪怕变成最固执 这样子
Albeit looking stubborn
承诺值得更坚持
At least you are firmly keeping to your promises
愿望 重新 开始
You dream has reignited

你追随的 渴望的 握在手里了
Having whatever you desired or dreamt since young
怎么会 失去了 小时候的快乐 为什么
Why would you lose the happiness you had when you were young?
你付出的 失去的 都成为你了
Whatever you paid or lost on the way,
Had shaped you into who you are today
要永远 相信著 小时候的我们 勇敢著
You must always believe that we were so brave when we were young.

儿歌（徐佳莹）： English Translation

PinkOlifantLeave a comment

徐佳莹 (Lala Hsu)
儿歌 (The Age of Innocence)
作词 / Lyricist：徐佳莹 (Lala Hsu)
作曲 / Composer：徐佳莹 (Lala Hsu)

你呢 有个曾经容易快乐的你在哪里呢
Where are you? The person who was easily delighted
你呢 有个曾经想赶快长大的乖孩子呢
Where are you? The innocent child who wished to grow up quickly

许愿就一定会到达的地方
The place where we would reach as long as we make a wish
还找不找得到？
Could we still find it?
他们说话欲言又止的模样
Their hesitations as they speak
现在看懂了吗
Do you now understand?

终于想起来了 一天忘一首儿歌
I finally remember,
That I am forgetting a nursery rhyme every single day
有人愿为你唱情歌 是谎言也听著
As long as there is someone who is willing to sing a love song to you,
You wouldn’t mind even if it’s filled with lies
终于想起来了 一天忘一首儿歌
I finally remember,
That I am forgetting a nursery rhyme every single day
遗忘总如期发生著 不是长大害的
Forgetting happens regularly,
Growth is not to be blamed

相爱就应该要拥抱的地方
Places where lovers should embrace
还找不找得到？
Could we still find them?
他们说话欲言又止的模样
Their hesitations as they speak
现在看懂了吗?
Do you now understand?

终于想起来了 一天忘一首儿歌
I finally remember,
That I am forgetting a nursery rhyme every single day
有人让你还唱情歌 再苦涩也值得
As long as there is someone whom you are willing to sing a love song to,
It’s worth it no matter how bitter it may be
终于想起来了 一天忘一首儿歌
I finally remember,
That I am forgetting a nursery rhyme every single day
失望总如期发生著 不是希望害的
Disappointment happens regularly,
Hope is not to be blamed

你呢 有个曾经容易快乐的你在哪里呢
Where are you? The person who was easily delighted
你呢 有个曾经想赶快长大的乖孩子呢
Where are you? The innocent child who wished to grow up quickly…

Thank you Faleri for recommending the song. Though I had listened to her entire album which is full of great songs, this song did not stand out then. Always adore singers who make their own melodies and filled them in with their own lyrics, the song feels complete. The way that Lala tells her story in this song, the emotions displayed in the rhetorical questions in this song, all of them bring a wave of nostalgia to me.

Sadly, Lala did not make an official MV for this song.

告诉我该怎么无视你的木头脑袋
How do I ignore your slow-witted brain?
说喜欢我却一直忘了表态
You said that you like me but you never confessed
傻呆呆的你就这样被我关在门外
Not knowing why you’re being shut out of my door?
钥匙就在你口袋也不会记得打开
Yet the key has all the while been in your pocket…

温度晒爆的午后
That bright and sunny afternoon
你约我出去走走
You asked me out
烦闷在胸口快要冲破喉咙
My moody spirit was going to burst through my throat
浪漫电影院门口
At the romantic cinema entrance
恋人一对对相拥
Couples were embracing
你无动于衷算了吧
But there’s still no reaction from you

我听说
I heard that
恋爱的人没大脑
Those who are in love are brainless
你害羞我知道
I know that you’re shy
不想说追我的都排到几百号
I’ve never mentioned that there’s a long queue of boys waiting for me
逛街不牵手礼貌
Not holding hands when we date
呆呆无视我撒娇
A dimwitted you always disregarding my demands
本姑娘也是有脾气的 算了吧
I’m a girl with temper too, never mind, forget it

告诉我该怎么无视你的木头脑袋
How do I ignore your slow-witted brain?
说喜欢我却一直忘了表态
You said that you like me but you never confessed
傻呆呆的你就这样被我关在门外
Not knowing why you’re being shut out of my door?
钥匙就在你口袋也不会记得打开
Yet the key has all the while been in your pocket…

RAP：
这次情况有点改善了欧
Situation has improved this time round
不会再蠢到不敢牵我的手
You’re clever enough to hold my hand
Oh 拜托 别躲到我身后
Oh please, don’t hide behind me
好像妈妈牵着儿子在街上走
Don’t make me look like your mum
情人节礼物每月都要有
I need monthly Valentine’s gift
迟交的就乖乖出去蹲门口
Squat outside if you dare to forget
实在不行我们就分个手
Let’s break up if you can’t keep up
分手期间你的口粮肯定管够
When we break up, you wouldn’t need to worry about money anymore

我听说
I heard that
恋爱的人没大脑
Those who are in love are brainless
你害羞我知道
I know that you’re shy
不想说追我的都排到几百号
I’ve never mentioned that there’s a long queue of boys waiting for me
逛街不牵手礼貌
Not holding hands when we date
呆呆无视我撒娇
A dimwitted you always disregarding my demands
本姑娘也是有脾气的 算了吧
I’m a girl with temper too, never mind, forget it

告诉我该怎么无视你的木头脑袋
How do I ignore your slow-witted brain?
说喜欢我却一直忘了表态
You said that you like me but you never confessed
傻呆呆的你就这样被我关在门外
Not knowing why you’re being shut out of my door?
钥匙就在你口袋也不会记得打开
Yet the key has all the while been in your pocket!

Thank you sunrise for recommending this song. As the song could not be found in the usual music streaming app, it took me a while to commit some time to listen to it on YouTube, therefore the delay in translation. This is a cute song with a happy mood describing how a girl wishes her boyfriend could understand her better. Got to know a couple of new usage of various phrases and words commonly conversed in China such as “萌宠” and “口粮” too!

至少我还记得 (At Least I Remember)
作词 / Lyricist：周兴哲 (Eric Chou), 吴易纬
作曲 / Composer：周兴哲 (Eric Chou)
编曲 / Arranger: 于京延 (Rare Yu)

跨年烟火 衬亮你眼角
Fireworks of the countdown party brightened up your dazzling eyes
你是我眼中 不熄灭的美好
You’re forever the spark in my eyes
离开很好 让人懂依靠
Leaving is a blessing that teaches us what reliance is
想念抱着你 身上的味道
I miss your smell and your hugs

时间奔跑 还剩下多少
Time is running, how much are we left with?
都没准备好 用尽最后一秒
We were never prepared for this,
We’re trying our best to cherish every second
我们很好 可惜没能牵牢
We were great, but we couldn’t be together
爱被风扯掉 再也找不到
Our love was torn mercilessly by the wind,
Never can it be found again

你敢不敢再对我说一次 永远爱着我
Would you dare to tell me once again that you will love me forever?
像最爱你的我不曾变过
Just like me whose love for you never wavered
我还记得 沿途的景色
I could still remember the scenes of our journey
路走得曲折 回忆就铭心深刻
Roads were rocky but that only served to deepen our memories

你敢不敢再对我说一次 不后悔爱我
Would you dare to tell me once again that you never regretted loving me?
再说一次我们没有爱错
Tell me once again that our love was right
我还记得 拥抱的炙热 你是如何笑着
I could still remember how deep our hug was and how wide you’ve smiled
至少我还记得
At least I remember

没人知道 我记得多少
No one knows how much I remember
我好想听到 你说话的语调
I really hope to listen to the tone of your voice once again
太晚明暸 生命爱开玩笑
It was too late when I finally understand that life is full of jokes
爱真的很好 是结束太早
Love was great, but it ended too soon

你敢不敢再对我说一次 永远爱着我
Would you dare to tell me once again that you will love me forever?
像最爱你的我不曾变过
Just like me whose love for you never wavered
我还记得 沿途的景色
I could still remember the scenes of our journey
路走得曲折 回忆就铭心深刻
Roads were rocky but that only served to deepen our memories

你敢不敢再对我说一次 不后悔爱我
Would you dare to tell me once again that you never regretted loving me?
再说一次我们没有爱错
Tell me once again that our love was right
我还记得 拥抱的炙热 你是如何笑着
I could still remember how deep our hug was and how wide you’ve smiled
至少我还记得
At least I remember

我们的泪水多珍贵
Our tears are so precious, aren’t they?
只是后知后觉 才会自顾自地流泪
But we only realise after sobbing through all those nights
我们的相遇多完美
Our encounter was so perfect, wasn’t it?

你敢不敢再对我说一次 永远爱着我
Would you dare to tell me once again that you will love me forever?
像最爱你的我不曾变过
Just like me whose love for you never wavered
我还记得 分开那一刻
I could still remember the moment we parted
用力地拉扯 我们多难分难舍
How we struggled and couldn’t bear to separate

你敢不敢再对我说一次 不后悔爱我
Would you dare to tell me once again that you never regretted loving me?
再说一次我们没有爱错
Tell me once again that our love was right
我还记得 拥抱的炙热 你是如何笑着
I could still remember how deep our hug was and how wide you’ve smiled
至少我还记得
At least I remember.
