The 200th post of this blog. Since December 2004 :) *cheers*

Many memories within this blog. Ups and downs. Transformations.

And perhaps this song will sum up the bitter parts of my whole life.

From ages ago, I always have felt that this singer is singing this song to me. Because she seems to be referring to me. About my life. And feelings. Like she is telling me to wake up from my dreams. And I am not awakened yet.


陳淑樺--夢醒時分

你说你爱了不该爱的人 You said you love someone you shouldn't love,
你的心中满是伤痕 and your heart is full of scars.
你说你犯了不该犯的错 You said you committed mistakes that you shouldn't have made,
心中满是悔恨 and your heart is full of regrets.

你说你尝尽了生活的苦 You said you have tasted the most bitter parts of your life,
找不到可以相信的人 and you cannot find anyone whom you can trust.
你说你感到万分沮丧 You said you feel totally depressed,
甚至开始怀疑人生 and even start to suspect if this life is worth having.

早知道伤心总是难免的 If you have known earlier that hurt and sadness are inevitable,
你又何苦一往情深 why do you still want to drown in this love?
因为爱情总是难舍难分 Because it is so hard to walk away from your love,
何必在意那一点点温存 so why do you still want to care about that pathetic little ounce of warmth that is left in this love?

早知道伤心总是难免的 You should have known earlier that hurt and sadness are inevitable,
在每一个梦醒时分 at every dream-awakening moment.
有些事情你现在不必问 There are some things that you should not ask now,
有些人你永远不必等 and some people that you should not wait for, forever.

This is the first time I have translated a song, so credits to myself solely! Don't laugh at my translation!

Yesyes this song is a classic sung by the woman who looked like a man in the video -.-

As usual, click on the video first then press spacebar to play. I am sure many of you have heard this song before (excluding people who eat potatoes.)
