Lyrics and translation 陳綺貞 - 沙漏

沙漏

我用沙子蓋一座城堡
為什麼浪一來就不見了？
我用沙子畫一幅畫
為什麼風一吹就不見了？
我把沙子全都關起來
為什麼時間不為我留下？
昨天的沙灘還在那
昨天的腳印去哪裡了？

他們說 生命像一粒沙
如果生命她會說話
她會說 謝謝你愛她
像大海愛著浪花

我讓沙子全都睡著了
數著他們我也睡著了
在夢裡我看見他們
一閃一閃還為我亮著

他們說 生命像一粒沙
如果生命她會說話
她會說謝謝你愛她
像大海愛著浪花

他們說 生命像一粒沙
如果生命她會說話
她會說 謝謝你愛她
像大海愛著浪花

他們說 生命像一粒沙 如果生命她會說話
她會說：「謝謝你愛我」
像大海愛著浪花 像大海愛著浪花

我用沙子蓋一座城堡
為什麼浪一來就不見了？
昨天的沙灘還在那
昨天的腳印去哪裡了？

Sand Hourglass

I build a castle out of sand
Why does it disappear when the waves come?
I draw a picture in the sand
Why does it disappear when the wind blows?
I lock up all the sand
Why doesn't time wait for me?
Yesterday's beach is still there
Where did yesterday's footprints go?

They say life is like a grain of sand
If life could speak
She would say thank you for loving her
Like the ocean loves the waves

I put all the sand to sleep
Counting them, I fall asleep too
In my dream I see them
Twinkling and shining for me

They say life is like a grain of sand
If life could speak
She would say thank you for loving her
Like the ocean loves the waves

They say life is like a grain of sand
If life could speak
She would say thank you for loving her
Like the ocean loves the waves

They say life is like a grain of sand If life could speak
She would say, "Thank you for loving me"
Like the ocean loves the waves Like the ocean loves the waves

I build a castle out of sand
Why does it disappear when the waves come?
Yesterday's beach is still there
Where did yesterday's footprints go?
