Paroles et traduction 蔡淳佳 - 鬱金香

鬱金香

都說鬱金香花期並不長
時間是她致命的傷
開在笑顏裡謝在夜淒涼
為誰笑顏為誰淒涼

都說鬱金香無心上濃妝
卻穿上淚花的衣裳
擔心花不開無心柳成雙
心有重重淚已千行

鬱金香鬱金香
你為誰香為誰裝
鬱金香 鬱金香
你為悅己者容
花為痴情著香

都說鬱金香花去也芬芳
溫情衝破冰冷的牆
夢裡尋芳蹤
月是半自空
不知何年何月何從

鬱金香鬱金香
情願平凡不平常
鬱金香 鬱金香
花為香蕩氣迴腸
永遠停留在有心哭泣
紛亂不清的世上

The Tulip

They say a tulip's life has no length,
Time is her fatal wound.
She blossoms in smiles, she fades in the bleak night,
For whom does she smile? For whom does she cry?

They say a tulip wears no rouge,
Yet she dresses herself in a gown of tears.
She fears her flowers won't bloom, her love unrequited,
And her tears form a thousand rivers in her heart.

Tulip, tulip,
For whom do you bloom, for whom do you dress?
Tulip, tulip,
You make yourself beautiful for the one you love.
The flower is fragrant for love.

They say a tulip's fragrance lingers even after her bloom,
Her warmth breaks through the icy wall,
I search for her fragrance in my dreams,
The moon is but a half-moon in the sky,
I know not when, nor where, nor how.

Tulip, tulip,
You'd rather be ordinary than extraordinary,
Tulip, tulip,
The flower is fragrant and intoxicating.
She will always remain in the hearts of those who weep,
In this chaotic and confusing world.
