Lyrics and translation Gin Lee - 侘寂




侘寂
Wabi Sabi
心房空寂 並沒住客可記掛
My heart is empty, no guests to remember
天涯孤寂 現狀可怎麼變卦
Lonely far away, how can the situation change?
猶如汗水煮蛙 不生不死以為算吧
Like a frog boiled in sweat, not alive or dead, I guess that's it.
在他的家 住過了也是我家 喝茶 味道特別嘛
In his home, I lived as if it were my own, drinking tea, it tasted special, didn't it?
劇情像沙畫演化 記住了每剎那嗎
The scene evolved like sand painting, did you remember every moment?
有畫過什麼嘛 抹掉了什麼嘛
What did you draw? What did you erase?
心裡畫過他 也就有他 沙堆沙 也剩下了沙
His image was in my mind, so he was there, a pile of sand, and sand remained.
我心無一物 遇著小偷不會怕
My heart possesses nothing, I won't be scared if a thief comes.
我家無一物 便沒傢俬可刮花
My home has nothing, so there's no furniture to scratch.
回頭漫天煙花 不必捨得也就放下
Looking back at the fireworks in the sky, there's no need to be reluctant, just let it go.
若想起他 就試試以淚當水 泡茶 味道寂寞嘛
If I think of him, I'll try to use my tears as water, to make tea, it tastes lonely, doesn't it?
漫遊在枯山水裡 碎石會砌到有家
Wandering in the dry landscape garden, the broken stones will build a home.
缺陷處是個湖 散落處是晚霞
The نقص is a lake, the scattered parts are the sunset.
心裡住過他 哪用見他 煙生煙 最後未見花
He once lived in my heart, why do I need to see him? Smoke rises from smoke, but in the end, I don't see the flower.
山跨山 水淹水 沒有他
Mountains cross mountains, water floods water, he is gone.
他非他 家非家 沒牽掛
He is not him, home is not home, no attachment.
夜越夜 冷更冷 沒雪花
The night grows darker, the cold intensifies, no snowflakes.
心傷心 心偷心 沒牽掛
Heart hurts heart, heart steals heart, no attachment.
風吹風 火燒火 沒有疤
Wind blows wind, fire burns fire, no scars.
三加三 三減三 等於化
Three plus three, three minus three, equals zero.
在他的家 住過了也是我家 喝茶 味道特別嘛
In his home, I lived as if it were my own, drinking tea, it tasted special, didn't it?
劇情像沙畫演化 記住了每剎那嗎
The scene evolved like sand painting, did you remember every moment?
有畫過什麼嘛 抹掉了什麼嘛
What did you draw? What did you erase?
心裡畫過他 也就有他 沙堆沙 也剩下了沙
His image was in my mind, so he was there, a pile of sand, and sand remained.
山跨山 水淹水 沒有他
Mountains cross mountains, water floods water, he is gone.
他非他 家非家 沒牽掛
He is not him, home is not home, no attachment.
夜越夜 冷更冷 沒雪花
The night grows darker, the cold intensifies, no snowflakes.
心傷心 心偷心 沒牽掛
Heart hurts heart, heart steals heart, no attachment.
風吹風 火燒火 沒有疤
Wind blows wind, fire burns fire, no scars.
三加三 三減三 等於化
Three plus three, three minus three, equals zero.
啦啦啦 啦啦啦 啦啦啦
La la la, la la la, la la la.
啦啦啦 啦啦啦 啦啦啦
La la la, la la la, la la la.
啦啦啦 啦啦啦 啦啦啦
La la la, la la la, la la la.
心傷心 心偷心 沒牽掛
Heart hurts heart, heart steals heart, no attachment.
風吹風 火燒火 沒有疤
Wind blows wind, fire burns fire, no scars.
三加三 三減三 等於化
Three plus three, three minus three, equals zero.
