Lyrics and translation 彭佳慧 - 無香之水




無香之水
Water Without Fragrance
身不由己的沉默
Involuntarily silent
独自舔拭身上留疤的伤口
Alone, I lick the wounds leaving scars on my body
微笑看似很辽阔
My apparent smile is vast
说穿了是被你牵制的木偶
But I’m your puppet on a string
趋于一致的生活
A life of conformity
诉说着那文明世界的病垢
Expresses the sickness of the civilized world
忍气吞声的时候
When I swallow my anger
忘了自己的轮廓
I lose sight of my own form
最喜欢的香味
My favorite fragrance
已索然无味
Is now tasteless
唱情歌会掉泪
Singing love songs makes me cry
渐渐磨去的防备
My defenses have gradually worn away
你的故事 不是你的样子
Your story is not your appearance
于是囚禁自己 伪装成摆饰
So I imprison myself, disguised as an ornament
触摸着脸上留长的胡子
Touching the long beard on my face
别让自己 少了架子
Don't let yourself lose your dignity
你的故事 不是你的样子
Your story is not your appearance
别再成为他们附庸的样式
Don't become their puppet any longer
无奈的泪水流过了几次
My helpless tears have flowed several times
我们重新 认识
Let's get to know each other
身不由己的沉默
Involuntarily silent
独自舔拭身上留疤的伤口
Alone, I lick the wounds leaving scars on my body
微笑看似很辽阔
My apparent smile is vast
说穿了是被你牵制的木偶
But I’m your puppet on a string
趋于一致的生活
A life of conformity
诉说着那文明世界的病垢
Expresses the sickness of the civilized world
忍气吞声的时候
When I swallow my anger
忘了自己的轮廓
I lose sight of my own form
最喜欢的香味
My favorite fragrance
已索然无味
Is now tasteless
唱情歌会掉泪
Singing love songs makes me cry
渐渐磨去的防备
My defenses have gradually worn away
你的故事 不是你的样子
Your story is not your appearance
于是囚禁自己 伪装成摆饰
So I imprison myself, disguised as an ornament
触摸着脸上留长的胡子
Touching the long beard on my face
别让自己 少了架子(喔)
Don't let yourself lose your dignity (oh)
你的故事 不是你的样子
Your story is not your appearance
别再成为他们附庸的样式
Don't become their puppet any longer
无奈的泪水流过了几次
My helpless tears have flowed several times
我们 重新 认识
Let's get to know each other
