song: Chen Xiao Xia/lyrics: Lin Xi
I could, if
you're willing; even if this feeling comes too late
Words which
have never been spoken are written on my hands, flowing through my veins
Just once;
there's no need for a second time
Let me listen
at ease to your reminiscences of past times
Especially
your moving stories; please let me know, what can be more beautiful?
Love and fate
are never on time, if they really could be
Even if my
hair turned white before I could be with you, it wouldn't be too late
Lovers don't
like to be on time, perhaps it could be
It would allow
me for once to be completely happy
I ask you,
if you're willing; to give me all your old photos
To make up
for the loving images we never encountered in the past
The blank
pages keep me company as I lose sleep
I could, if
you're willing; let me appreciate naive youth
That smiling
face after maturity; how it developed, how the eyes have changed
song: Huang Jia Qiang/lyrics: Lin Xi
Angel, so unclear
behind your back
Angel, is
me; perhaps you don't care yet
To be able
to guard you to the point of not caring about myself
To focus all
my attention on guarding you, this is my destiny
Angel, for
you; it's not your responsibility to fall in love
Angel, is
me; to shoulder past crimes
Who told God
to be unfair; I need to accomplish selfless acts, so that I could be enlightened
Punished me
before; not at all saint-like
(perhaps this
angel isn't good enough)
Constantly
following in your path
(you passed
by but perhaps you didn't notice)
As long as
the sky isn't old
(dying from
old age with you would be ideal)
I overwork
myself, but still, I wish you well
(hope you'll
never discover my mark)
I overwork
myself, but still, I hope you'll be better off than me
(hope you'll
never discover I wished you'd be better off than me)
Give the bad
to me and I'll save the good for you
When the sky
collapses I'll protect you
Give the light
to you and I'll take the grey
Even if you
refuse because you and I have fallen
I'm guarding
you like an angel
song: Adrian Chan/lyrics: Lin Xi
If you're not
used to it; don't fear trouble, don't fear trouble
I'm quite
lazy, don't have much time
My body should
be cast into the fields
This love,
the product doesn't match the sample
You need not
return it
Like a trashed
pop can; let us play amongst the trash
Let you be
dissatisfied, you won't dare be self-satisfied
Let this world
judge; no matter how much it has improved it will still be like this
Of this life
I only need half
I'll let you
come with outstretched hands to take charge of it
The future
is something I don't need
Do help yourself
to it, to whom should I give it otherwise?
Freedom is
something I don't like to possess
Please come...take
it, take it
The journey
is something I'm not too concerned about
Naturally
I'm at ease with you, there's no need to give it to anyone
Value is something
I won't guarantee
You don't
come, and don't realise you need to pursue it
Help yourself,
take it, please take it
song: Faye Wong/lyrics: Lin Xi
I don't want
to spy on you for even a second
It's because
I fear I'll suddenly laugh
I'll naturally
love all the way
I'll scream
loudly all of a sudden
Calling to
the spirits to come out, come out, come out
I 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....
I 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
I'll suddenly
want to shout, want to jump, want to possess
Di-Dar....
song: Faye Wong, Dou Wei/lyrics: Faye Wong
I thought that
we could be together forever
Lots of times,
I think of this and I don't want to fall asleep
If you could
give me a sincere certainty
It doesn't
matter; nothing matters to me
The road ahead
is perhaps not too clear
After I proceed
on confidently, perhaps I'll find it exhausting
Perhaps I'll
want to stop but cannot stop
The darker
the sky becomes, the more tired my heart becomes
I saw your
face, listened to your unvoiced pledge
At that moment
I discovered
That one day
I walked past you and didn't catch your gaze
I take my heart
and give it to you to console
Is it possible
for me not to have to take it back?
[Please] don't
think that a resolute heart is unbreakable
[Please] don't
think that nothing matters to me
song: C.Y. Kong/lyrics: Lin Xi
Looking at
his eyes I think of someone else
I have stayed,
but my heart has not*
I look at
the lights of the night, yet I think of white clouds
A night like
this is too boring
And that time,
that night was so captivating
I cannot understand
any of the boisterous jokes
Confused amidst
the crowd of people, I seem to be in outer space
My empty arms
seem to embrace
It seems to
be me but it isn't me
And I'm just
creating my dreams
There is no
end to sleepwalking at whim
Sky and earth
seem so free
People actually
love to sleepwalk
Consciousness
is filled with too many curses
This flighty
existence is the only thing I feel I own
I develop according
to my moods
[I'm] in midst
of the vivacity, yet my heart isn't there
I mumble to
myself, my inspiration flies about
I'm sitting
in the car, it's as if I'm flying over the fields
It's too stifling
this way
Yet my moods
are so entangled
Sky and earth are free
Love to sleepwalk,
it's freer than sky and earth
Only when
sleepwalking can I find no boundaries
Need to sleepwalk,
it's freer than sky and earth
Let me sleepwalk,
I find no boundaries
*I'm not sure
about this line; in the lyrics, no subject is stated,
and so it
can be interpreted in two ways. I have translated it
in the first
person, since the previous line was "Looking into his
eyes I think
of someone else", suggesting that even though she
has stayed,
her heart is somewhere else; however, you could
also interpret
it as "He has stayed, but his heart has not."
