song: Faye Wong/lyrics: Lin Xi
Don't want
to spy on you for even a second
It's because
I fear I'll suddenly laugh
Will naturally
love all the way
Will suddenly
scream loudly
Calling to
the spirits to come out, come out, come out
Don't want
to hear your heartbeats
It's because
I fear you'll suddenly wake up
You naturally
say it's too late
You really
have to go
I suddenly
cry, cry, cry
Di-Dar....
Don't want
to possess you
It's because
I fear I'll suddenly think
That you're
really too important
I suddenly
can't breathe
Will suddenly
want to shout, want to jump, want to possess
Di-Dar....
song: Faye Wong/lyrics: Lin Xi
The clock ticks
away in my heart
Counting down
every second
Always ready
for end of the voyage
I've known
for a long time that there are no unending dreams
Good times
have ended
It's like
the end of the vacation
I silently
wait for the vacation to end
It's as if
I've caught up with the school bells and announced that everything is back
to normal
The light
has been expended, good times will abruptly come to a standstill
Indulge all
you can now
Make merry
all you can now
Commemorate
all you can now
You still
have to return home
The brilliant
vacation ends
There's no
way to extend the festivities
Even if the
holiday never ends I wouldn't find it remarkable
Pacify your
heart
At least [you've]
had a breath of fresh air
How can one
play a lifetime of games?
Stowed away
the overweight baggage
Sojourned
on the plane bound for home
I won't forget
a minute or a second of the countdown*
This world
will be (will be) so beautiful (so beautiful, so beautiful)
Nothing will
compare with this week
No one can
avoid separation
Treat it as
an unexpected vacation
Treat it as
a break from difficult times
I loved you
once
*I used the
negative construction here because it's closer to the
original lyrics;
its affirmative equivalent, "Will remember every minute,
every second
of the countdown" probably sounds less awkward.
song: C.Y. Kong/lyrics: Lin Xi
Yellow is like
the sunset after rain
Blue is like
the men of the world
I'm bringing
the past with me on a journey
Red light...green
light...red light
In front of
me is your countenance
Mesmerizing,
mesmerizing
Looking back
I find that the drama
Has deteriorated,
has deteriorated
Sunk into a
voyage of thoughts
Why are right
and wrong, black and white
So unclear?
I lose my
way in remembrance's country
Where is the
way back?
I take your
shadow from the past
Adhere it
to my eyes
I continue
to reminisce you
Gestures...spoken
words...time...situation
It's the snow
of April
The sound
of August rain
I think of
you until (until until) I can no longer reminisce
Even if I
miss you so much I lose track
I will not
be at peace
Love is an
emotion of the past
Time is yesterday's
clock hand
I'm bringing
the past with me on a journey
Trapped in
remembrance's forest
song: Chen Xiao Xia/lyrics: Lin Xi
My eyes seem
to be crying yet they seem not to be crying
I can't say
what else I'm hoping for
Blowing smoke
rings with you
Near your
lips
I can't express
my contentment
How can your
tenderness be captured?
It comes closer
and closer, yet it never makes contact
La...
The unfinished
tea turned sour long ago
We have never
been in love before, yet we are in love
We're going
'round in circles every day
How can this
entanglement be considered short?
I wear your
clothes every day
I can't detain
you, yet I'm still warm
Hovering between
sweetness and bitterness
I can't see
through your scandalous eyes
You borrow
love to fill one night
In the end,
it still has to be returned
There's no
need to desire too much
Hovering between
proximity and separation
I can't see
through your scandalous eyes
It seems to
be deep yet it's still very shallow
The sky had
turned blue-grey long ago
I want to
part from you
Yet it's not
late
song: Alex San/lyrics: Lin Xi
Beard roots
represent sensitivity
Black hair
represents a desire to kiss
Perhaps everything
is unrelated
You confuse
my view of things
When you represent
my ideal
When I cannot
represent you
It all means
that you don't know how to love
If you are
my question mark
I hope you're
my equal sign
If longing
for you is equivalent to kissing you
How nice [it
would be]
Perhaps countless
questions mean that we're not thorough
Perhaps love
is so deep one can't see the bottom of it
Perhaps love
means everything
It means that
emotions gradually go off track
Perhaps I
haven't found someone better to take your place
Despising you
means I'm being good to you
Giving up
means I want to attain it
Making up
means it's hard to emend
You don't
know that you're confused
A drunken heart
means I'm drunk
An embrace
means I want to embrace
It all means
that clear-cut love is better
song: Zhang Ya Dong/lyrics: Lin Xi
[note: in Chinese,
the title of the song can be translated as "I think" or as
"I want to."
In this song, the latter meaning applies, but as most people have
translated
the title as "I Think," I have also done so here; however, all other
occurrences
of the title in the lyrics have been translated as "I want to."]
Perhaps it
is
But it has
not happened yet
It almost
is
But it never
was
At the beginning
perhaps, if I secretly loved you
It's been
too long
It's enough
to be content with keeping it hidden from myself
If it is
It is only
a natural thing
It is the
equivalent of
Yet it's as
if nothing happened
In reality,
it's only missing my calling out your name
Yet I may
not reveal my desires
It's meaningless
You want me
to tell you
It's meaningless
You know I
want to, I want to
Don't ask
me anything
I do all sorts
of foolish things for you
Yes, yes
I might not
tell you about them
Perhaps it
is
It might not
be 100% certain
If it is
It was from
a long time ago
Even if I
call out your name in my dreams
I hope that
it might not be the same in reality
Of course it
is
The moonlit
night is hinting at it
Things to
do with love
Are like ancient
Chinese writing
Especially
if, almost, it will happen soon
How could
the feeling of tender love and sweet desires
Be explained
patiently to you without distorting my meaning?
I'm going
crazy for you
It can't be
controlled
Yes, yes
I won't tell
you about it
It's meaningless
You want me
to tell you
It's meaningless
You know I
want to, I want to
It's meaningless
You want to
know; that's easy
It's meaningless
You know I
want to, I want to
song: Suzuki Syoko,Tozawa Yoshimi/lyrics: Lin Xi
Your warmth
is only keeping me warm
Your prayers
are only meant for me
Your devotion
is so that you could be close to me
You don't
care about anyone else
Let your arms
be there solely to hold me tight
Your wild
heart will only settle down for me
I'm the only
one left in the world
Freedom of
choice is limited
Is my selfishness
too foolish?
It originates
from your feelings
It is all
part of my enjoyment
There isn't
enough of it to be shared
Love can only
be possessed exclusively
Whether it's
good or bad, I still want to take possession of it
It would be
best if I imprisoned you
Every part
of you would only be touched by me
It would be
best if sky and earth are destroyed
What else
should two people do other than kiss?
In this selfish
river of love
It originates
from your feelings
It is all
part of my enjoyment
A little bit
isn't enough
Sweetness
or bitterness
I have both
Whether it's
good or bad, I still want to take possession of it
Just like
a smile can only mean that you're thinking of me
Just like
sadness can only mean that you have to wait for me
It all requires
[you] to leave these feelings for me
How can two
people share one?
It originates
from your feelings
It is all
part of my enjoyment
There isn't
enough of it to be shared
Love can only
be possessed exclusively
Who would
be willing to let go?
Whether it's
bitter or sweet
I want to
dominate it
I want to
have it all
song: Viktoria/lyrics: Lin Xi
A love-crazed
man
A face of
security
One who would
wait a lifetime for this
Could be thought
of as a happy woman
Love doesn't
require equality
[I'd be] content
with affection
I wouldn't
worry about everything
It's as if
one can only be a woman
If one has
love
If you want
me to be half of you
It really
can't be this way
How can it
be this way?
If you have
another half besides me
I need not
wait for your pleasure
Tender affections
Will only
surround a man's heart
It's as if
nothing I do is tolerated
I am only
willing to be cruel for love
If I want to
be half of you
How could
I continue this way?
If you have
another half besides me
I could also
rebel [against you]
If loving
you is my religion
Heaven will
not bother with it
But self-centredness
takes up half of me
I don't need
you to love me (it can't be exchanged)
I can only
give you half
Don't bother
about the rest
I can only
give you half
Would you
be unsatisfied?
song: C.Y. Kong/lyrics: Lin Xi
Contradiction,
recklessness, feebleness
Sightlessness,
happiness, and hate
Time, atmosphere,
tactility
What is the
meaning of love?
Ignorance,
selfishness plus pretentiousness
Tolerance,
forbearance, or revulsion
Obstinate
at whim
Relationships,
conflicts, helplessness
Abstract happiness
How can it
be attained?
Who would
know about the complicated principles of love?
Who knows
how to track it down?
Countenances,
movements, scents
Names, identities,
and relationships
Mood, body
temperature, touch
What is the
meaning of love?
Sincerity,
self-deception plus frankness
Friends, lovers,
or enemies
To smile,
to cry painfully
Happiness,
disillusionment, anticipation
Pallidity is
spectacular
Excited exclamation
Who would
know about the complicated principles of love?
Who knows
how to track it down?
song: Liu Yi Da/lyrics: Zhou Yao Hui
I'm at the
corner of the sea, yet you're at the edge of the sky
Two stars
destined to appear together
We communicate
at a distance, yet can never move close together
You and I
reflect each other in the darkness
Is this attachment,
or is it mutual destruction?
It's already
been too long
There's no
way to sustain it
I need to
escape from your tender universe
I've become
a comet, I care not where I fly
Behind me
are glistening memories
I am a comet,
I have a wish
To leave you
By myself,
I'll beautifully disappear
Between the
two of us
There seems
to be nothing
There's only
a silver river flowing with tears
You are the
cowboy; I don't dare be the spinning maid
I don't want
to continue the dismal poem
I don't want
to attach myself to you like this
Don't want
mutual destruction
It's already
been too long
There's no
way to sustain it
It's time
for me to return to the mortal world
I've become
a comet, I care not where I fly
Behind me
are glistening memories
I am a comet,
I have a wish
To leave you
By myself,
beautifully...
I've become
a comet, I care not where I fly
Behind me
are glistening memories
Countless
comets have only one wish
I search for
my own beautiful story
