Paroles et traduction 林奕匡 - 浮生六記

浮生六記

他的小餐館 位子總坐不滿
剩下的白飯 自己當作早餐
靠雙手打拼一番 當初想得多浪漫
最後只賺得晚餐和帳單

他的畫已畫完 自覺一時無兩
畫中星光燦爛 世間卻有冷暖
賣不出去的靈感 咄咄逼人的貧寒
藝術難道等於過得淒涼

說也說不完 剪也剪不斷
他為了生存把工作變成習慣
上班和下班 就像天色變換
回頭一看沒有一絲波瀾

說也說不完 剪也剪不斷
他的故事他的人生何只千千萬萬
卻只像小說翻了一翻 看完

誰生活平淡 誰從不靠岸
誰自願懶散 誰不願停站
誰愛得勇敢 誰走得太慢
誰被誰觀看

她不需要同伴 環遊世界亂闖
只愛綠水青山 從不留戀旅館
靠風景填平孤單 躲開人情的聚散
卻不知道哪一個是終站

說也說不完 剪也剪不斷
她把愛情捧到天上金不換
重複的糾纏 熱情歸於冷淡
來來回回只覺衣帶漸寬

說也說不完 剪也剪不斷
我的故事我的人生記錄在這一章
被某一個她翻了一翻

再說也說不完 剪也剪不斷
她把愛情捧到天上金不換
重複的糾纏 熱情歸於冷淡
來來回回只覺衣帶漸寬

說也說不完 剪也剪不斷
我的故事我的人生記錄在這一章
被某一個她翻了一翻 看完

Floating Life Sketches

His small eatery, always with empty seats
Leftover rice, his own breakfast treats
Relying on his hands to make a living
His dreams once so grand, now just providing

His paintings complete, a masterpiece he thought
Stars shining bright, life's warmth he sought
Unsold inspiration, a poverty so bold
Art, does it mean a life of cold

So many tales untold, so intertwined
He works to survive, routine his mind
Work and leisure, like changing skies
Looking back, he sees no surprise

So many tales untold, so intertwined
His story, his life, one of a kind
Yet it's just a novel's page, flipped and turned

Who lives a mundane life, never reaching shore
Who chooses to be idle, forevermore
Who loves with courage, who moves too slow
Who's watched by whom, we'll never know

She needs no companion, exploring the world's span
Green hills and rivers her heart's demand
Nature's beauty heals her solitude
But where her journey ends, she has yet to conclude

So many tales untold, so intertwined
Her love, she held it high, so pure and kind
Repeated entanglements, fading passion's flame
Back and forth, her waistline, the only gain

So many tales untold, so intertwined
My story, my life, in this chapter confined
Flipped through by a she, a chapter left behind

More tales untold, so intertwined
Her love, she held it high, so pure and kind
Repeated entanglements, fading passion's flame
Back and forth, her waistline, the only gain

So many tales untold, so intertwined
My story, my life, in this chapter confined
Flipped through by a she, a chapter left behind
