Lyrics and translation 趙傳 - 空城記

空城記

聽 台北盆地下大雨 又熱又悶
我 逛著回憶的森林 心事煩困
黑夜中回家的人 一零一十盞路燈
這裡因為沒有你 是座空城

看 飄過遠山那些雲 忘了我們
愛 經過幾年的灰塵 生出皺紋
散佈的熱鬧車城 如今是空無一人
台北因為沒有你 只是空城

聽 台北盆地下大雨 又熱又悶
我 逛著回憶的森林 心事煩困
黑夜中回家的人 一零一十盞路燈
這裡因為沒有你 是座空城

看 飄過遠山那些雲 忘了我們
愛 經過幾年的灰塵 生出皺紋
散佈的熱鬧車城 如今是空無一人
台北因為沒有你 只是空城

我 是沒了心的路人 跟著黃昏
風 又讓眼睛傷了神 看不到人
淡水河上的風箏 晴天空眼下的人
世界因為沒有你 都是空城

請走滿了人的空城 記住我們
請走滿了人的空城 記住我們
請走滿了人的空城 記住我們
請走滿了人的空城 記住我們

Empty City Notes

Listen to the heavy rain and heat in the Taipei basin
I walk the forest of memories, my mind in turmoil
Those walking home in the dark under one oh one streetlights
It's an empty city without you here

See those clouds floating over the distant mountain, forgetting us
Love grows wrinkles with the dust of years
The bustling traffic is now desolate
Taipei without you is just an empty city

Listen to the heavy rain and heat in the Taipei basin
I walk the forest of memories, my mind in turmoil
Those walking home in the dark under one oh one streetlights
It's an empty city without you here

See those clouds floating over the distant mountain, forgetting us
Love grows wrinkles with the dust of years
The bustling traffic is now desolate
Taipei without you is just an empty city

I am a passerby without a heart, following the sunset
The wind wounds my eyes, blinding me
Kite over the Tamsui River, people under the clear sky
Without you, the world is an empty city

Walk through the city filled with people, remember us
Walk through the city filled with people, remember us
Walk through the city filled with people, remember us
Walk through the city filled with people, remember us
