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。

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~….

世界另一面的海灘


 在世界末日之前,去了一次Barcelona,踏上了沒見兩年的海灘,感受一下地中海的海水,讓鬱鬱的心𩆜暫時鬆弛、鬆弛。
