電車內面 - 江蕙 translation in English

電車內面

坐置電車內面 對面一個女人
提著一卡行李 不知欲去叨位
電話聲響起 伊緩緩打開手機
講無兩字 目屎流袂離 驚人看見
坐置電車內面 彼邊一對男女
共款一卡行李 不知欲去叨位
拿一疊相片 怹 那看那偎那甜
講話咬耳 愈笑愈歡喜 像無人看見
電車載咱離開 這個城市
帶著無共款的記持
是春天的花蕊 是冬天落雨暝
是秋天枯葉落土望新芽
人講人生一齣戲 好壞目一睨
主角是我亦是你
電車載咱離開 這個城市
帶著無共款的記持
是春天的花蕊 是冬天落雨暝
是秋天枯葉落土望新芽
人講人生一齣戲 好壞目一睨
主角是我亦是你
坐置電車內面 想起彼年秋天
我提一卡行李 不知欲去叨位
只想欲離開 彼時拿相片的伊
無情的冷氣 目屎流乾墘 驚人看見
電車載咱離開 抑是載咱返去

Inside the Tram

Sitting inside the tram, a woman across from me,
Carrying a suitcase, I wonder where she's headed.
Her phone rings, she slowly opens it,
She mumbles a few words, tears streaming down her face, afraid for others to see.
Sitting inside the tram, a couple on the other side,
Sharing a suitcase, I wonder where they're headed.
Looking at a stack of photos, they look, they cuddle, they laugh,
Whispering in each other's ears, laughing more and more, as if no one else is around.
The tram takes us away from this city,
Carrying different memories,
The blooming flowers of spring, the rainy nights of winter,
The autumn leaves falling to the ground, waiting for new buds.
People say life is a play, good and bad are intertwined,
The protagonist is both me and you.

Sitting inside the tram, I remember that autumn many years ago,
I carried a suitcase, I didn't know where I was going,
I just wanted to get away from the person in the photos.
The cold air was merciless, my tears dried up, afraid for others to see.
The tram takes us away, or does it take us back?
