Lyrics and translation 黃耀明 - 忽爾今夏

忽爾今夏

看見了漫漫稻田再掠過
看見了烈日在遙望著我
過去每一分鐘剎那之間湧向我
某月某年 彷彿在生
照亮那曾天昏地暗一個炎夏
看見了面上淚痕滑下去
說過了道別話然後別去
聽見了一顆心叫我一手敲碎
那夜與誰 怎麼告吹
那是某年驚心動魄一個炎夏
無端過去
迷離面孔 像昨天的我
曾相識而難以碰面
然後在今天 忽以今天
再遇 這孤獨少年
看見我為寂寞尋覓伴侶
聽見我為靜默尋覓字句
去到了講不出那個家中的派對
* 那夜有誰(看見了漫漫稻田在掠過)
(看見了面上淚痕滑下去)
都不要緊(看見了烈日在遙望著我)
(說過了道別話然後別去)
那是某年通宵踏旦一個炎夏(那個我就像是和誰在說話)
(那個我在唸著喃喃動聽話)
如此過去(終於過去)
迷離面孔 像昨天的我(那個我散髮披肩)
(那個我痛快一點)
(那個我放肆一點)
曾相識而難以碰面(如炎夏青春的臉)
(如紅日初昇的臉)
(從來沒風霜的臉)
然後在今天 忽爾今天
再遇 這孤獨少年
再會 這孤獨少年

Summer of Suddenlies

Seeing the vast paddy fields passing by
Seeing the scorching sun gazing at me
Every minute of the past rushes towards me in an instant
A certain month, a certain year, As if I was born
Illuminating that dark summer
Seeing the tears streaming down my face
Saying goodbye and then leaving
Hearing a heart calling me to break it
Who did I say farewell to that night
That was a summer of shocks
The past is gone
Faded faces, Like the me of yesterday
We once knew each other, But can't meet again
And now, today, Suddenly today
I meet this lonely boy
Seeing me searching for company in loneliness
Hearing me searching for words in silence
Going to the party at a house I can't name
* Who was there that night (Seeing the vast paddy fields passing by)
(Seeing the tears streaming down my face)
It's alright (Seeing the scorching sun gazing at me)
(Saying goodbye and then leaving)
That was a summer of sleepless nights and new dawns (As if I'm talking to someone)
(As if I'm whispering sweet nothings)
The past is gone (Finally gone)
Faded faces, Like the me of yesterday (As if I'm with disheveled hair)
(As if I'm being bold)
(As if I'm being unrestrained)
We once knew each other, But can't meet again (As if a youthful summer face)
(As if a sunrise face)
(A face that has never been weathered)
And now, today Suddenly today
I meet this lonely boy
Farewell, this lonely boy
