Paroles et traduction 王菲 - 背影

背影

要是這刻你微笑 我不會流淚
如形和影是最痴纏伴侶 隨時隨地共對
卻又 沒法擁抱下去 當要擁抱便會失去
不知道彼此似誰
要是你感到難過 我不會快樂
如形和影做那相同動作 完全來自直覺
接近 但卻比你慢了 早了先了後了一步
始終也背著陽光
如像你的 身邊倒影 你依稀的背影
不清不醒 埋沒了真的本性 不可走遠但也不能停
蒙著眼睛 怎可分清 你清晰的背影
不響一聲 常在你左右共鳴 只可惜你 未看清
要是你想要前進 我不會退後
如同投影沒有可能獨奏 連名字亦沒有
卻又 剩了一半在你心裡 一半在你身後
怎可能單獨行走
如像你的 身邊倒影 你依稀的背影
不清不醒 埋沒了真的本性 不可走遠但也不能停
蒙著眼睛 怎可分清 你清晰的背影
不響一聲 常在你左右共鳴 只可惜你 未看清
我快要化做背影 難擁抱亦難離棄
常陪著你 如像你
如像你的 身邊倒影 你依稀的背影
不清不醒 埋沒了真的本性 不可走遠但也不能停
蒙著眼睛 怎可分清 你清晰的背影
不響一聲 常在你左右共鳴 只可惜你 未看清
如像你的 身邊倒影 你依稀的背影
不清不醒 埋沒了真的本性 不可走遠但也不能停
蒙著眼睛 怎可分清 你清晰的背影
不響一聲 常在你左右共鳴 只可惜你 未看清
分不清 分不清 你背影
分不清 分不清 你背影

A Silhouette

If in this moment you smile, I will not cry.
Like form and shadow, we are the most intimate companions, together everywhere and always.
Yet, unable to embrace each other; when we try to, we lose one another.
I do not know who we are like.
If you are sad, I will not be happy.
Like form and shadow, we make the same movements, coming entirely from instinct.
Close, but I am slower than you; sometimes ahead, sometimes behind.
Always with my back to the sun.
Like your reflection beside you, your hazy silhouette.
Unclear and dazed, obscuring our true nature; unable to go far, yet unable to stop.
Blindfolded, how can I tell the difference? Your clear silhouette.
Without a sound, always resonating beside you, only you have not seen.
If you wish to move forward, I will not retreat.
Like a projection, unable to exist alone, without even a name.
Yet, half of me remains in your heart, the other half behind you.
How can I possibly walk alone?
Like your reflection beside you, your hazy silhouette.
Unclear and dazed, obscuring our true nature; unable to go far, yet unable to stop.
Blindfolded, how can I tell the difference? Your clear silhouette.
Without a sound, always resonating beside you, only you have not seen.
I am about to become a silhouette, difficult to embrace, difficult to abandon.
Always with you, like you.
Like your reflection beside you, your hazy silhouette.
Unclear and dazed, obscuring our true nature; unable to go far, yet unable to stop.
Blindfolded, how can I tell the difference? Your clear silhouette.
Without a sound, always resonating beside you, only you have not seen.
Like your reflection beside you, your hazy silhouette.
Unclear and dazed, obscuring our true nature; unable to go far, yet unable to stop.
Blindfolded, how can I tell the difference? Your clear silhouette.
Without a sound, always resonating beside you, only you have not seen.
Cannot tell, cannot tell, your silhouette.
Cannot tell, cannot tell, your silhouette.
