Just Like (如一) — by Naiwen Yang (楊乃文)

What is less? What is more?
What is special? What is mediocre?
I don’t think I see it through, but am not puzzled.
I don’t think I’m stubborn, but have not yet forgetten.

I wanna be like wind, having no form but staying together.
be like a cup of water, neither thick or thin.
be like a dream that seems real but also has never existed.

Why do I have to understand? Why do I have to ask?
Why do we have to compare? Why do we have to be the same?
That is not right, but also not wrong.
That is not the cause, but also not the effect.

I wanna be like wind, sometimes stay sometimes disperse.
be like a cup of water, being thick and also thin.
be like a dream that doesn’t exist but seriously exists.

I wanna have a heart that doesn’t hate or love.
be like a star that is neither bright nor dim.
be like a person, who doesn’t fear pain, and thus I will never be afraid of not having a free life.

The First Memory (最初的記憶) –Lala Hsu (徐佳瑩)

The sky after rain
should feel like a bit romantic, but it didn’t.
Until rainbow came, that moment,
I recalled once again…

I should have known you are going away.
But I’m still trying to go forward.
Suddenly I realize you have gone
but I still don’t agree with my fate.

I’m staying with you quietly.
I doubt…
Could you come with me until the final destination?
My silence doesn’t mean I doubt…
and you don’t have to remind me again.
Could you please just let me go back to my first memory?

Until the end, I chose to believe you.
But then I realize, all these are bygones.
My heart stays with you, locks me inside.
Don’t tell me you’re still here. I don’t believe you.
I can only wait until it calms down.
Love has always been a thought.

I’m staying with you quietly.
I doubt…
Could you come with me until the final destination?
My silence doesn’t mean I doubt…
and you don’t have to remind me again.
I only want to take you back to the first memory.

Tenderness (溫柔) — by Mayday (五月天)

If letting you go is good for you, I do.

I walk in the breeze. The sunshine today is so soft…
The sky, the ground, their tenderness, feels like the same as you hugged me.
But then I suddenly realize your change.
From now on, every lonely day… how could I survive the cold nights?

The skyline, the one standing besides you
are not in your eyes.
What is actually hidden in your eyes? That I could never understand.
But that’s fine… Your world is yours.
I would not disturb. This is my tenderness.

I don’t know. I don’t understand. I don’t need.
But why my heart wants to get closer, but stays alone until dawn.

I don’t know. I don’t understand. I don’t need.
But why my heart recalls the beauty of our love that now rests in loneliness…
I decided to give you my best love.

I didn’t realize. I didn’t really want to, but I now arrived at the same entry of that narrow street.
I didn’t cry. I didn’t smile, because I knew it was a dream.
No sign, no reason that you have said so.
But if you have really said so, I will let you go.

This is my tenderness. This is my tenderness
to let you go.

Oxygen (氧氣) –by Mavis Fan (范曉萱)

A simple but truly touching song…

I sank into the sea, deeper and deeper.
I began to miss you. I’m so lonely.
I fell into your love, cooler and cooler.
I almost couldn’t breathe. I want you badly.
We all live on oxygen, my oxygen is you.

If you love me, you will come and find me.
You know I couldn’t live anymore.
If you love me, you will come and rescue me.
Oxygen is getting thinner
because of loneliness…

Suddenly, missing you–Mayday

I’m so afraid of quietness.
I’m so afraid of greetings from my friends.
I’m so afraid of those painful memories coming like tides that do not stop.
I’m so afraid of hearing your news.

If my thought of you could speak, I wish it doesn’t sound like a sad weeping.
Now I finally own my own self, but still my tears betray myself.

Suddenly, I think of you. Where are you now?
Are you living happily, or in sorrow?
Suddenly, I think of you.
Suddenly, memories stab me. Suddenly, my eyes are full of tears.

We were the most beautiful song, that has become two sad movies.
Why did you take me to the most unforgettable trip, but then leave me the most hurtful souvenir?

We were so sweet, so lovely, so trustful.
We passionately loved each other.
But why do we still run to our own destiny separately and grow old in regret?

Suddenly, I think of you. Where are you now?
Are you living happily, or in sorrow?
Suddenly, I think of you.
Suddenly, memories stab me. Suddenly, my eyes are full of tears.

I’m so afraid of quietness.
I’m so afraid of greetings from my friends.
I’m so afraid of those painful memories coming like tides that do not stop.
I’m so afraid of hearing your news…

Last Dance – Wu Bai (Last Dance – 伍佰)

Dancing, while your head on my shoulder…but is it the last dance?

For the moment please close your eyes…
In the dark, that is what I long for…
I can see colors shining from your calm face, that make me couldn’t stop loving you.

You can now follow my steps,
step by step, gently and softly.
Let those beautiful memories be real once again.
All of a sudden, romance comes and stays
but, I have to leave tomorrow…


The love you gave me is
a helpless wait.
So is it true that I will go alone?
I really want to hear you say ‘please stay’
Winds in Spring and rains in Fall, shattering
because I’m so lonely.

The love you gave me is
the bittersweet hurt,
that locks me up
and I cannot hide my fragileness,
like a flooding river that pushes me toward you…
it never stops.

For the moment please close your eyes…
and slowly move close to my heart…
People on the dance floor are gradually leaving,
so now is the moment…

The love you gave me is,
a helpless wait.
So is it true that I will go alone?
I really want to hear you say ‘please stay’
Winds in springs and rains in falls, shattering
because I’m so lonely.

The love you gave me is,
the bittersweet hurt.
I wanna ask…
the question that you don’t wanna answer.
After tomorrow,
would the one standing in front me still love me?

The Lost Sand Bar (失落沙洲)–Lala Hsu (徐佳瑩)

It is a song of a love lost and cannot be found.

I come back to this harbour.
I have no reason to stay.
My heart rides on an old boat, searching for the lost sand bar.

The boat flows with tides along with time.
I open my arms, trying to catch and hug those ups and downs.
After all, what I miss so much is yours eyes when you were looking at me.

I don’t really need you come back.
But when I look at the sea alone
and I turn back and find you’re not there,
it leaves me wandering around.

I don’t really need you come back.
But when I open my book of memories,
Apart from you, it is blank.
Who else could come to teach me how to love?

I come back to this dead end.
I want to go forward.
But the more I see the open sky,
the more I regret not being able to share with you the touching feeling.

I don’t really need you come back.
But when I look at the sea alone,
that consumed person is not me…
not the one that you wanted to see.

I don’t really need you come back.
But when I go alone into the crowd,
Apart from the support you gave me,
who else could make me brave?

Punctual (守時) — Faye Wong (王菲)

This lyric is an all-time classic.

If possible, if you are willing to…
even if the feeling comes so late…
please write down those words that you have never said to me.
That will make my heart beat joyfully.

Only once…I promise I need no another time.
Could you let me listen to your past?
Especially those touching stories…let me know what made you beautiful as such?

Love is never punctual.
If it is possible, let me stay with you. I don’t mind waiting for you till my hair gets white. It’s never too late.
Lover is never punctual.
But could you please, let me feel free to be happy, just one time?

Could you please…if you are willing to…
give me your old photos so that I could imagine my past be full.
I have written some lovely moments on the blank side
that help me pass my sleepless nights.

If possible…if you are willing to…
let me know your youngful days.
let me know how your smiling face got mature over time.

Love is never punctual.
If it is possible, let me stay with you. I don’t mind waiting for you till my hair gets white. It’s never too late.
Lover is never punctual.
But could you please, let me feel free to be happy, just one time?

Growing fond of you (慢慢喜歡你) — Karen Mok

This song is my favourite in 2018.

I’m reading a book, which accompanies many of my evenings with surprises.
That bicycle…the conversation between he and she…
The white shirt worn by the girl that the boy likes her putting on…
So many little subtle plots…romance…heartbroken…come and go…
I read and read, and couldn’t stop.

I just kissed you. You like it, don’t you?
Otherwise, why do you hold my hand so tight and don’t let me go?
You told me you want to take me to your home town…
Those red bricks covered by patches of green…Trees and lichen…
From the past to the present, they remain unchanged.
You said you love will be the same.

I slowly become fond of you.
I slowly become close to you.
I slowly tell you about me.
I slowly walk along besides you.
I slowly adjust myself to please you.
I slowly give myself to you.

I slowly become fond of you.
I slowly remember…
I have been being with you, graudally becoming old together.
The slowness between us is the reason I love you.

Order the dessert you like after dinner…
Tonight you may sleep on the other side…
I want to spend our vacation near the beach we went before…
Shoes…watch…socks…shirts are ready, all packed in the suitcase.
I, as everyday, wake up before you do, waiting you.

Love is a long and slow process.

Really Foolish (真的傻) — by Lala Hsu (徐佳瑩)

Love is really not something that you work hard and you’ll get it.

I am chasing, while the image of your back is fading.
A distance that I can never reach.
I gave my all, thought you’d be touched.
In fact, the gap is as large as the one between the sky and the ground.

What is the probability that I love you and you love me as well?
How much is the error?
Love is not something that if you work hard, you should be taken seriously.
But I never understand how to give it up.

I thought I could stay with you forever.
But your pace is so fast that I can never catch.
If it is me who stops you from flying high in the sky,
I’m willing to be completely forgetten in your life.

I really wanted to keep you and share you with no one.
But I was really foolish, blocking you from shining.
So please don’t worry about me, I’m simply not good enough.
You have to find someone who loves you more than I do.

She walks into your perfect picture.
I was as lonely as transparent.
I spent all I have to love you, but the more I tried the more hurt is done.
So I chose to give up and wish you the best.

Thank you it is you, who gave me so many memories.
You have to find someone who loves you more than I do.

Love is not measured by how much you give.
