Promised / Yerk Ding
(composed by Chan Xiao Xia, lyrics by Lin Xi, translated by Forget You
Like Forget Me)
still remembering that day lodge's door-sign
still saving smiling departing expression
that day the whole city
so light-hearted
along the road together walking half-mile long street
still remembering streetlight shining a face of yellow
and illuminating that set of lukewarm take-out
silhouetted your face-contour looks too good
after freezing tears to dare look carefully
*forgetting sky earth feels like unable to think of oneself
yet not forgetting both agreed to watch all over sky yellow leaves flying far
if will with you separate melacholic drama
have to determine to forget then i cannot remember
tomorrow's sky earth only afraid not recognizing oneself
yet not forgetting with you agreed to meet as if having no death
despite your strong wide chest cannot fight weather
two temples hoary can still recognize you*
still remembering that day guitar's chord
still understanding every segment of melody's curvature
that day street corner flowed your voice
along the road journey like a song diminishing
repeat*
despite your strong wide chest
cannot fight weather
two temples hoary can still recognize you
(translated by Jone)
I still remember the door no. of the travern
I still keep in mind the smiling look when leaving
The whole city at that time, is so light and happy
We walked 1/2 miles along the street together
I still remember the streer lamp's yellow rays on your face
It also illuminated the warm meal box
The shadow of your contour is so beautiful
I only can observe after I stopped my tears dropping
*Forget the world, seems like I've forgotten myself
Still not forget dated with you, watch the whole sky falling yellow
leaves
Even though I will depart with you, what a sad movie
if I decided to forget then I won't remember
Tomorrow's world, I only afriad can't recognize myself
Still not forget dated with you if not died
Even though your broad chest, not unbeatable by the weather
And the hair turns white, I still can recognize you*
I still remember the chords of guitar that day
I also understand the ups and downs of the melodies
On that day, your voice flowed thro' every street corners
The trip changes like the songs
Repeat*
Even though your broad chest, not unbeatable by the weather
And the hair turns white, I still can recognize you
