Paroles et traduction 何韻詩 - 不是吟詩的時候

不是吟詩的時候

04.不是吟诗的时候
你望这张台有什么
载在在杯里 二人促膝就座
纵是不渴 亦能热到不能时
拿著救火
你望天花板有什么
要是幽暗 令人蠢蠢欲动
你就找块石头 为我打破
然后坠向我
还收不到么
大概我 今天己经讲得太多
但作诗一般譬喻：鸳鸯戏水
内容又怕 未传达清楚
话我知 你等什么
近乎直接的暗示 一揭就破
爽快像我 告白也许不必 再写诗兼作歌
话我知 你想什么
若然亦听出秘密 双眼别回避我
像我一直乱讲 令你很无助
04.不是吟诗的时候
你望这本书有什么
那是一对画眉相依傍著
再望锦鲤 亦和伴侣嬉戏
甜蜜像你我
还收不到么
大概我 今天己经讲得太多
但作诗一般譬喻：开花结果
为何并蒂 像连著一朵
话我知 你等什么
近乎直接的暗示 一揭就破
爽快像我 告白也许不必 再写诗兼作歌
话我知 你想什么
若然亦听出秘密 双眼别回避我
像我一直乱讲 令你很无助
04.不是吟诗的时候
话我知 你等什么
近乎直接的暗示 一揭就破
爽快像我 告白也许不必 再写诗兼作歌
话我知 你想什么
若然亦听出秘密 双眼别回避我
像我一直乱讲 令你很无助
别再装不知道 不接住眼波

Not the Time for Poetry

04. Not the Time for Poetry
What do you hope for from this table?
Drinks in our cups, sitting close together
Even if not thirsty, still can get heated to the point of discomfort
Grabbing anything to put out the fire
What do you hope for from the ceiling?
If it is dark, it may make me restless
Could you find a stone to smash it for me?
Then fall onto me
Can't you get the hint?
Perhaps I have talked too much today
But like poetry, using metaphors like "mandarin ducks playing in the water"
I'm afraid the meaning isn't getting across
Tell me, what are you waiting for?
A nearly direct hint, it can be uncovered at once
Being straightforward like me, perhaps there's no need to write a song about my love
Tell me, what are you thinking?
If you have heard my secret, please don't avoid my gaze
Like the nonsense I have been saying, it makes you feel helpless
04. Not the Time for Poetry
What do you hope for from this book?
It is a pair of lovebirds relying on each other
Look again at the koi fish, also frolicking with their mates
Sweet like you and me
Can't you get the hint?
Perhaps I have talked too much today
But like poetry, using metaphors like "flowers and fruit"
Why is it that our flowers grow together like one
Tell me, what are you waiting for?
A nearly direct hint, it can be uncovered at once
Being straightforward like me, perhaps there's no need to write a song about my love
Tell me, what are you thinking?
If you have heard my secret, please don't avoid my gaze
Like the nonsense I have been saying, it makes you feel helpless
04. Not the Time for Poetry
Tell me, what are you waiting for?
A nearly direct hint, it can be uncovered at once
Being straightforward like me, perhaps there's no need to write a song about my love
Tell me, what are you thinking?
If you have heard my secret, please don't avoid my gaze
Like the nonsense I have been saying, it makes you feel helpless
Don't pretend not to know, don't break eye contact
