Dreams

 I have translated the lyrics of a Hong Kong song from Cantonese to English:

Dreams


Beautiful scene is still on stage.

Life’s boulevard is laid far away.

Buddies are by your side always.

Here I am, a dream ever lie.


I dream to be reunited, then there’s a place we’ll find each other.

I dream to be delighted, then I chase it at my own pace.

I believe what I do is right.

Dreams won’t be out of sight.


I’m sure one day dreams will come true.

Though the world is cruel, I can go through.

Even life is as usual days after days.

Some day, dreams will be truly shown on the way.


As long as the ending is not yet said.



The original lyrics:



唱:林憶蓮

作詞:林夕

作曲:許願 黃偉年

編曲:潘漢偉



最美一幕 還未閉幕

最闊的路在塵世遠方

最好知己永在身旁

聽我講 我從不説謊


我想相聚 誰便再聚

我想歡樂 便隨意去追

我想相信我做得對

想到人極疲纍


我自信有日如願

縱使天高地厚仍被我逆轉

假使一生會沒了沒完

總有日會如願


當結局未揭穿

飄彿二重奏

這幾天的情緒一直在高低起落,因為上星期二懷著忐忑的心情做人生的第一次植牙,還要是在英國 -— 一個我只住了四年的地方,幸好之前花了頗長的時間去選了個好牙醫,他有很好的溝通技巧,技術也很好,給予我很大信心,做完後也沒有預期中那麼痛。到了第三天,發覺笑的時候左右不對稱,有些擔心,打電話去問,牙醫也在當天解答了我,令我放心,到了第五天已回覆正常。

這段時間,有個手術創口在口內,只可食軟的食物,又要食藥,所以大部分時間在家休息,於是看了頗多大埔大火的新聞,情緒難免被牽引,始終那是個曾經憝悉的地方,怎可能發生這種事情?於是一方面要記著按時食藥、按時用牙醫的牙膏及藥膏塗創口,記著那一天要再見牙醫,一方面又會記掛著在遠方的香港,日子隨著過得飄飄彿彿。

我應該有自由選擇的權利

感覺有點鬱悶,須然問題已解決,但過程中感覺別人不太願意接受我的意見,明明是關於自己的重要事程,我自己當然最明白,為什麼他們總是想我跟他們的想法去做,可知如果出了問題,後果是要我自己𠄘擔的、是影響深遠的,尊重一下我自己的選擇好嗎?

Misty moon

 


This is a painting at Scarborough Art Gallery. It inspires me to write the following poem:

Misty moon


Among the misty trees,

moonlight penetrates far and near.

A night street tuned foggy green

contrasts to two windows afar with brown yellow gleams.

Rain seems gone, its trace on the ground is a hint.

Silently, it mirrors the time unseen.


Being a lonely child at the scene,

I walk slowly to my destiny

while the moon shines through the trees.

Her grace melts me into the atmosphere.

Gradually, the air is full of memories.

Life can be serious but not to me.

The road is slippery but I won’t be interfered.

Every single footstep is still light and free.


Moon, please answer me.

Why are you here?

My story is just ordinary.

My way home becomes a fantasy

as your light silvers everything I see.

Soon, my mind is clear.

It’s you who create this masterpiece

and you let me be part of it.

疏離


世界大事風雲色變的發生

個人小事也慢慢的進行

移居在小村落,用另一種語文

彷彿失去了存在感


活在平行時空有幸有不幸

像在結界中的游魂

感覺不是實在的一個人

蝴蝶效應常來臨

遠方的一些聲音

這邊引起段段疑魂

不同的意見在紛陳

可以置身事外,也可以關心

細碎的思緒在浮沉

A New Year Poem

It’s a new year.

As usual, everyone says, “Cheers!”

Though what ahead is not quite clear

As last year’s wishes disappear

New plans are set in January

One! Two! Three! … Let’s do it!

Someday, they can be accomplished.

At least, that’s what we believe.

It goes round and round every year

and keep us high in spirit!

No harm anyway as long as we are happy.

Make a wish for you and me.

Then, next year, we still say, “Cheers!”

instead of “Oh! What a pity!”.

Your Face

Translate a Taiwanese song into English. Just the meaning. Cannot match the melody.


把「你的樣子」譯成英文,只是意譯,未能配合旋律。


原曲 /the original song: 

https://youtu.be/tqolealpkXg?si=QInkuyyzLuSsPIii 



Your Face


I hear one's whisper from far behind.

Like a stream crying in a dream.

I see one's footsteps leaving bits and pieces

blocking the miserable eyes while saying goodbye.

Don't understand why you let dust fall onto your face.

Blurring a long forgotten world that once has your name......has my singing......


That sad song persisting in a dream always wakes me up so clear

murmuring a bit about the miserable past.

Wind has dried the tears, then, one with a hollow shadow turns around with ease.

Don't understand why all sophistication cannot melt your face.

Is it because tomorrow's fate coming too late?

Days after days, withered is your smile and so is my mind.


Unchanged is you, standing firmly in a windy time passage.

Clever child, holding a fragile lantern.

Careless is you, let hidden love fire into traces of memory.

Lonely child, you are the beloved one in Creator's eyes.


I hear one's whisper from far behind.

Like a stream crying in a dream.

I see one's footsteps leaving bits and pieces

blocking the miserable eyes while saying goodbye.

Don't understand why you let dust fall onto your face.

Blurring a long forgotten world that once has your name......has my singing......


Unchanged is you, standing firmly in a misty time passage.

Clever child, holding your favourite lantern.

Careless is you, let hidden love fire into traces of memory.

Lonely child, you are the beloved one in Creator's eyes.

Hairy Ovals

 

Here's a curtain of hairy ovals

that stand still to view the water over.

Bird comes and goes as the water shivers.

They don't bother all these strange viewers.

Spreading their wings to show how lovely are their feathers.

Resting here and there from winters to summers.


(Inspired by the scenery at the Attenborough Nature Reserve.)

Once in a while

Grey is the sky, or may be blue.

Not sure, is it you?

A blue bird flies across my mind

and traces various ideas so cool.

You leave clues for me to explore as far as I could.

Please visit again whenever the sky turns blue.


(On that day, the sky was grey but had sunshine once in a while.)

Last night and the meaning of life

 I was sick and could not sleep well last night. Then, I thought about what is the meaning of life and concluded to the following points:


- love (love and being love)

- explore and learn (the growth of knowledge and ability)

- support others

- create (the process of creation is happy and satisfactory. Created something unique makes your life different from others.)


Then, I thought about how illness affects the meaning of life in the above points.


Also, how the outside environment like social instability, war, immigration, freedom, poverty … affects the meaning of life.


So, that was last night.

2024

A poem for 2024

Whether you like it or not

The world is still in chaos

Wandering in a dark corridor

An angel flickers across

and sprinkles words on your accord:

Sometimes you may get lost

but at Two O Two Four

Get back to the right from the wrong

Believe at the end of darkness is dawn

From the day you were born

You have the talent to reform

Be brave and carry on

Embrace the new year in a song

with a voice loud and strong

La~ La~…. Two O Two Three has gone

La~ La~…. here comes Two O Two Four

La~ La~…. you deserve much much more

La~ La~…. wait and see what’s going on

La~ La~….

Border line

A poem about my cancer condition:


Border line

I’m on a border line.
Neither in the high risk side,
nor in the low risk side.

I’m on a border line.
It implies I can be fine
but I may also die.

Not totally have peace of mind.
Somehow, God is kind.
Thank for the test of genetic science,
Harsh treatment can be declined.

I’m on a border line.
It’s a lesson in life.
Get lost sometimes
but miracle can arise.

薄冰上的迷思




















如履薄冰

    身   輕
    心   清

此刻風景
   凋零
   豐盛
   V形
   莫明

冰裂 目定
冰破 飄零
    身   輕
    心   清
屏息   回應
描畫路徑
一步一驚
展現機靈
跨越險境

緣份

十月去了長白山旅遊,回程時在北京多留四天,某日在三里屯內的Page One書店打書釘,隋意拿起一本書,讀到一首詩,即時想起了老爸,是緣份吧。

老爸喜歡藍色,他離世後做了一件小手工送他,別人說這小手工像隻藍色的鳥。

書中的這首詩,便是關於一隻藍鳥:


在無人知曉的田野盡頭,
一隻藍色的小鳥去世了。
       在一個很冷的、很冷的黃昏。

為了掩埋它的遺骸,
天空下起了雪。
       深深地、悄悄地蓋住了它。

人們雖然不知道,但是村裡的
房子卻都陪著它一起,
       披上了雪白的、雪白的衣裳。

不久,天亮了,清晨來臨,
天空完全放晴。
       蔚藍的、蔚藍的天空,分外美麗。

為了讓這純潔的小生靈,
能通往天國,
        開僻一條寬闊的、寛闊的道路吧。

一 節錄自《秋天,一夜之間》,作者:金子美玲

是緣份令我在遙遠的北京遇上了這本書。

三年前做的小手工。
