Lyrics and translation 陳昇 - 三姐

三姐

來來去去的人
看起來都顯得很冰冷
登機口的催促聲早已點了名
說不上來是什麼樣的離情
也不知道三姐是不是想哭
其實我也不是很懂
只是木然的擁抱著
聽見她的心跳聲
和她好聞的味道
她說弟弟我也許有錯
但是 死也不回頭
愛情只是藉口
但是不要讓夢想成空
每個人的生命中像是手上握著單程票
一個人的旅程 就不要期望會有掌聲
三姐你不要哭
儘管大膽地向前走
窗外有藍天和浮雲一樣
蒼白的夢想
有一天我會長大
離開欺負我們的村子
飛向地平線的那一邊
繼續尋找屬於我的California
也不知道在什麼時候
三姐變得如此勇敢
是愛情的因素嗎
鄰居們都笑著這麼說
說她把自己的青春賭上了一個漂泊的男人
可是姐姐說她不知道前方有什麼
停住了什麼都沒有
卻換來爸爸的冷漠
他說哪裡會有家裡溫暖
還說自己哪裡做錯
合住在被詛咒的村子
你姑娘一個不害羞
卻跟一個無賴老外招搖
像你跑了的老母
流著蠻子一樣的血
三姐你不要哭
家裡有我看著
窗沿你養的那盆蒲公英
我會記得天天澆水
有一天我會離開
迎向微風中的蒲公英
飛向地平線的彼方
去尋找自己的Louisiana
許多許多年以後
我終於慢慢會懂得
不知道前方有什麼
但是停住了什麼都沒有
三姐你不要哭
三姐你不要哭
三姐你不要哭
三姐你不要哭

Third Sister

People coming and going
Seem so cold and indifferent
The boarding announcement has already called my name
I can't put my finger on this feeling of parting
I don't know if Third Sister wants to cry
Honestly, I don't really understand either
I just embrace her numbly
Listening to her heartbeat
And her sweet scent
She said, "Little brother, I may be wrong
But I will never turn back
Love is just an excuse
But don't let my dreams go up in smoke
Everyone's life is like a one-way ticket
A solo journey should not expect applause
Third Sister, don't cry
Just boldly forge ahead
Outside the window, the blue sky and clouds drift by
Pale dreams
One day I will grow up
Leave our oppressive village
And fly to the other side of the horizon
To continue searching for my own California
I don't know when it was
Third Sister became so brave
Is it because of love?
That's what the neighbors gossip about
Saying she bet her youth on a drifter
But Sister says she doesn't know what lies ahead
Stopping means nothing
But it earns her father's indifference
He says, "What could be warmer than home?"
And, "Where have I gone wrong?"
Confined to this cursed village
"You shameless girl"
Flaunting yourself with a foreign vagabond
Like your mother, who ran away
With the blood of barbarians
Third Sister, don't cry
I will be here to watch over things
The dandelion you raised by the window
I will remember to water it every day
One day I will leave
To meet the dandelions carried by the wind
And fly beyond the horizon
To find my own Louisiana
Many, many years later
I finally begin to understand
I don't know what lies ahead
But stopping means nothing
Third Sister, don't cry
Third Sister, don't cry
Third Sister, don't cry
Third Sister, don't cry
