["Sporadic" in some translations]
song/lyrics: Faye Wong
The night breeze
is cool
Trees are
swaying, moonlight flickers
Clouds are
flying, I'm thinking
Water is flowing,
flowers are fragrant
The image
of the night in my heart
Happiness
accompanied by sadness
There is light
in the darkness
How to measure?
how to reckon?
Fields, mountain
tops
Desolation
beneath superficial beauty
...Inconstant...
Look at the
colour of the mountains and the light of the lakes
Look at the
blue sky and the white willow
Can't see
a hint of haziness
Look also
at the waves of the sea
Look also
at the coloured clouds of sunset and the light of dawn
Can't prohibit
the rush and haste
Leave hope
to disappointment
[I personally
prefer to translate the title as "Restless"
rather than
"Impatience"; however, because the latter
translation
is more common, I have used it to avoid
confusion.]
song/lyrics: Faye Wong
September
The sky is
high
One is restless
In September
Things are
simple and boring
Everything
is fine
Only lacking
in worries
song: Cocteau Twins/lyrics: Lin Xi
Fracture, fracture
Smiling innocently,
yet [I] see through everything
Fracture,
fracture
Fatigued by
love, yet [I] care about nothing
It's all because
I embraced you
Leaving every
drop in my hand
It's all because
you embraced me
There are
no cracks that allow me to breathe
Fracture, fracture
[I'm] strong
enough to face up to everything, yet [I] need to be impudent
Fracture,
fracture
Guarding one
person's world, bleeding the blood of two people*
It's all due
to the tragedy of that embrace
One half hot,
one half cold
It's all due
to the tragedy of that embrace
One half sky,
one half earth
(The cells
of longing are dividing continuously... fracturing, fracturing)
It's all due
to the tragedy of that embrace
One half me,
one half you
(The cells
of longing are dividing continuously... fracturing, fracturing)
It's all due
to the tragedy of that embrace
Part male,
part female
It's all due
to the tragedy of that embrace
One side red,
one side green
It's all due
to the tragedy of that embrace
Acting as
if nothing happened; mourning grievously
(The cells
of longing are dividing continuously... fracturing, fracturing)
It's all due
to the tragedy of that embrace
Startling
sky and earth; nothing out of the ordinary
(The cells
of longing are dividing continuously... fracturing, fracturing)
I saw your
amiable countenance, yet I open my eyes and see contempt in your face
My soul flies
with you to another world
Yet my body
is like a butterfly with broken wings
When I see
you, I look upon everything with disdain
Yet when I
don't see you, I am afraid to face myself
Fracture, fracture
Sometimes
I confront everything with strength
Somtimes I
need to be impudent
Fracture,
fracture
Guarding one
person's world, yet bleeding the blood of two people
Fracture,
fracture
Smiling innocently,
yet [I] see through everything
Fracture,
fracture
Fatigued by
love
* This line
can be interpreted as either "bleeding the blood of two people" or
"the blood
of two people is flowing in [my] veins."
song/lyrics: Faye Wong
The world looks
happy; can't see sadness
Still smiling
gravely
You're nonchalant,
you're natural and broad-minded
Stripped of
pretentious attire, free of religion
You don't
want to talk, you want to indulge yourself
There's nothing
to be afraid of, nothing to worry about
Painfully
enjoying happiness
Uncertainly
decadent
Couldn't sway
temptation, so you refuse loneliness
You did no
wrong, because no one ever did right
You have peace
of mind, and so you become decadent
Come, come,
I will keep you company
Come, come,
continue, continue
I have nothing
to say; can't think clearly of the consequences
I'm not prepared
to blame myself
I'm nonchalant,
I'm natural and broad-minded
Hopelessly
struggling against the flow; I willingly walk into the trap
Haven't any
other thoughts, only want to indulge a little
Just pretend
not to have discovered deception behind perfection
Merely appeasing
the soul, struggling reluctantly
Not missing
anything; gaining nothing, in reality
An inexplicable
sense of loss
The intersection
of entrancement and numbness starts here
Ignorantly
decadent
Come, come,
I will keep you company
Come, come,
continue, continue
song: Cocteau Twins/lyrics: Wyman Wong
Piles, piles
of poker cards
With a wave
of your hand, you bring me down
Drunken, drunken
coke
With a turn
of your head, you make me cry out
Feigned, feigned
happiness
With one look,
you make me unable to keep up the pretense
Forgotten,
forgotten loneliness
With one question,
you make me think of it again
*sigh* you
always offhandedly cast me out of the world of dreams
*sigh* you
always effortlessly make me fall from the depths of the clouds
Cautious tolerance
In a moment
of carelessness, you make me sprawl down
Hard-earned
happiness
With one sentence,
you make me bad again
A lifetime
of hope
In one second,
you wake me up
I'm staring
into space at ease
You hurl a
basin of water at me
song/lyrics: Faye Wong
Idealism paces
about the intersection, uncertain of which way to go
Confidence
lowers its head on the way, counting the stones beneath its feet
Sunlight is
slightly blinding, and the air isn't too fresh
He thinks,
uncertainly without advancing
Beauty is shedding
tears, bidding itself farewell
Pretentiousness
shows its happy face, mingling in the crowd
Reason cannot
convince itself, decides to give up
Craving has
bought everything, yet cannot satisfy its emptiness
Virtue is meaningless;
indecision is alluring
Doomsday arrives,
a little curious
No one will
care
