Paroles et traduction William So - 落花流水

落花流水

流水 像清得没带半颗沙
前身 被搁在上游风化
但那天经过那条提坝
斜阳又返照闪一下
遇上一朵 落花
相遇 就此拥着最爱归家
生活 别过份地童话化
故事 假使短过这五月落霞
没有需要 惊诧
流水很清楚 惜花这个责任
真的身份不过送运
这趟旅行若算开心
亦是无负这一生
水点蒸发变做白云
花瓣飘落下游生根
淡淡交会过 各不留下印

流水 在山谷下再次分岔
情感 渐化做淡然优雅
自觉心境已有如明镜
为何为天降的稀客
泛过一点 浪花
天下 并非只是有这朵花
不用 为故事下文牵挂
要是 彼此都有些既定路程
学会洒脱 好吗
流水很清楚 惜花这个责任
真的身份不过送运
这趟旅行若算开心
亦是无负这一生
水点蒸发变做白云
花瓣飘落下游生根
命运敲定了 要这么发生
讲分开 可否不再
用憾事的口吻
习惯无常 才会庆幸
讲真 天涯途上谁是客
散席时 怎么分
流水很清楚 惜花这个责任
真的身份不过送运
这趟旅行若算开心
亦是无负这一生
水点蒸发变做白云
花瓣飘落下游生根
淡淡交会过 各不留下印
但是经历过 最温柔共震

Falling Blossoms and Running Water

Running water, as clear as if it didn't carry a single grain of sand
My former self was stranded upstream, weathering away
But that day, passing by that dam
The setting sun shone again, flashing once
I encountered a fallen blossom
Encountering, we embraced our love and went home
Life, don't make it too much like a fairy tale
The story, if it's shorter than this May sunset
There's no need to be surprised
Running water knows well the responsibility of cherishing flowers
Its true identity is just to carry
If this journey can be considered happy
Then it won't be a waste of this life
Water droplets evaporate and turn into white clouds
Petals float downstream and take root
Lightly meeting, each leaving no mark on the other

Running water, in the valley below, divides again
Emotions, gradually fading into a calm elegance
I feel my state of mind has become like a clear mirror
Why, for a rare guest sent from heaven
Did I ripple, just a little?
Under heaven, it's not just this flower that exists
No need to worry about the rest of the story
If we both have our own set paths
Can we learn to let go?
Running water knows well the responsibility of cherishing flowers
Its true identity is just to carry
If this journey can be considered happy
Then it won't be a waste of this life
Water droplets evaporate and turn into white clouds
Petals float downstream and take root
Fate has decreed that it should happen this way
Can we talk about parting, no longer
With the tone of a regretful story?
Get used to impermanence, then you'll learn to appreciate
To tell the truth, on the road of life, who is a guest?
When the party's over, how do we part?
Running water knows well the responsibility of cherishing flowers
Its true identity is just to carry
If this journey can be considered happy
Then it won't be a waste of this life
Water droplets evaporate and turn into white clouds
Petals float downstream and take root
Lightly meeting, each leaving no mark on the other
But we've experienced the most tender resonance
