One Person Acting Two Roles (tracks 1,6)

song: AMK/lyrics: Wyman Wong

If there's no important business 
I won't see anyone
The events of the outside world
I won't question them
Breaking the rules
Is my responsibility

Reality is too boring
Go for a vacation in the land of dreams
The content of made-up stories
Is not outrageous
[What is] outrageous
Is that you take things too seriously

Don't be too serious
Don't be so uptight
How can you take random talk for the truth?

Don't be too serious
Don't be so naive
How can you take random talk for the truth?
I'm no god

Talking to myself
I am one person
But the dialogue
Is still divided into two parts
Two parts
Just as if there was another person

Acting out a scene
Playing both parts
A drama of dreams
Holds my life together

Brink of Love and Pain (track 2)

song: Huang Zhuo Ying/lyrics: Calvin Poon (Pan Yuan Liang)

I pace about the deserted road and look back at it
You had kissed my face hundreds and thousands of times
I never thought that there would be a day
When, in the night rain, I have nowhere to go
Making me wait here alone from one o'clock to three o'clock

I'm not afraid of meeting you again
This is still my desire
I have my own feelings
You can't expect me to hide them
If you are no longer in love with me
Then why do you deceive me?
Making me wait and wait
I'm waiting for the day when I can regain your warmth

Love is like a rain shower, it seems to be over, but it's hard for it to end
The more you think about it, the more confused you become
I no longer want to attach myself to you
I have my dignity
I don't want to be hurt again

I can't help that my heart
Wants to distinguish it but cannot do so
It tells me not to wait
But this wish is unfulfilled
I'm forever at the brink of love and pain
How can I decide what choice to make?

I'm Willing (track 3)

song: Huang Guo Lun/lyrics: Yao Qian

*note: extra verse translated; this verse can be found
on a special version of this song (there's a different
music video to go with it too!)

Reminiscence is very profound
Like a shadow, always there
Soundlessly and unnoticed, it emanates from the heart
In a blink of an eye, it is consumed by loneliness

I have no strength to refuse
Especially at night
I think of you until I can't breathe
I resent the fact that I can't run towards you immediately
And tell you at the top of my voice:

I'm willing, I'm willing
I'm willing to forget my identity for you
For just one more second in your arms
Losing the world would not be a pity

I'm willing, I'm willing
I'll willingly be banished to the edge of the world for you
As long as you're sincere
And give me love in return
I'm willing to do anything, anything, for you

(Distance is razor-sharp, piercing emotion
I worry that our love will wear out because of this
And drown out the harmony of our hearts
The love you give is what I live for
You are the only one in my life
I have always wanted to lean close to you
To prove to you with my actions...)
[chorus]

Knowing Oneself and Each Other (track 4)

song: Cocteau Twins/lyrics: Lin Xi

I am the crack of dawn, you are tomorrow's morning
Your career keeps you company, clothes get in my way
Have been unable to take flight long ago
In the world of two people

Who am I and who are you?
I'm the lips, and you're the eyebrows
Put them together
In a world into which love cannot be put

Love has died unnoticed (love has died)
Knowing you and myself
Why avoid it? (why avoid it?)

The red skirt is mine, the blue chip is yours
All the toys are yours, the decorations mine
Can afford everything, in this happy world

Who am I and who are you?
Once made me and once made you full of joy
Two people each having their own world

Said at first that we would love [each other] until death
Even if the present can't be compared to the past
We're still together (still together)

Haven't faced crisis
But each [of us] flies on his own
The distance between us is like that of sky and earth

Sky (track 5)

song: Yang Ming Huang/lyrics: Huang Gui Lan

Why is my sky filled with tears?
Why does my sky always have a grey face?
Wandering on the other side of the world
Letting loneliness invade again and again
The sky is streaked with longing

Is your sky filled with clouds of thought?
Does your sky have a cold moon?
Banished to the other side of the sky
Letting loneliness take over night after night
The sky is filled with hidden longing

Our skies, when will they become one?
Our skies, when will they be united?
Each waiting on different sides of the world
Letting loneliness taunt us year after year
The sky is piled with layers of longing

Hope that the sky won't be filled with tears
Hope that the sky won't paint a grey face
