追憶

追憶

童年在那泥路裏伸頸看 一對耍把戲藝人
搖動木偶令到他打觔斗 使我開心拍著手
然而待戲班離去之後 我問
為何木偶不留低一絲足印
為何 為何曾共我一起的像時日總未逗留
從前在那炎夏裏的暑假 跟我爸爸笑著行
沿途談談來日我的打算 首次跟他喝啖酒
然而自他離去之後 我問
為何夏變得如冬一般灰暗
為何 為何曾共我一起的像時日總未逗留
從前共你 朦朧夜裹 躺於星塵背後
難明白你 為何別去 留下空空的一個地球
徘徊悠悠長路裏 今天我知道始終要獨行
閒來回頭回望去 追憶去 邊笑 邊哭 喝啖酒
然而就算哭 仍暗私下慶幸 時日在我心留低許多足印
從前 從前曾共我一起的 現仍在心內逗留

徘徊悠悠長路裏 今天我知道始終要獨行
閒來回頭回望去 追憶去 邊笑 邊哭 喝啖酒
然而就算哭 仍暗私下慶幸 時日在我心留低許多足印
從前 從前曾共我一起的 現仍在心內逗留
從前誰曾燃亮我的心 始終一生在心內逗留

Memories

Memories

Recalling childhood, I stood on tiptoe to watch a pair of performers
Manipulating puppets to make them tumble about, making me clap my hands with glee
Yet, after the troupe left, I asked
Why the puppets left not a trace behind
Why, oh why, does time not pause, just like those who've shared my days
Once, during a scorching summer break, I laughed as I walked alongside my dad
Conversing about my future ambitions, having my first sip of alcohol
Yet, after his departure, I asked
Why has summer turned as gray as winter
Why, oh why, does time not pause, just like those who've shared my days
Once, I lay with you beneath a starlit sky in the haze of night
Struggling to understand why you left, leaving Earth empty and bare
Wandering along the endless path, I now know I must go it alone
Occasionally, I look back in remembrance, laughing and weeping, taking a sip of alcohol
Yet, even as I weep, I secretly rejoice for the many footprints time has left upon my heart
My dear, my dear, once we shared life's journey, now you forever linger in my heart

Wandering along the endless path, I now know I must go it alone
Occasionally, I look back in remembrance, laughing and weeping, taking a sip of alcohol
Yet, even as I weep, I secretly rejoice for the many footprints time has left upon my heart
My dear, my dear, once we shared life's journey, now you forever linger in my heart
My dear, who once ignited the flame within my heart, will eternally dwell there
