Paroles et traduction 蘇盈之 - 等等

等等

請問現代人都在等什麼
步伐越快時間更不夠用
翻開歷史記載古代人等什麼
等四季晴雨等收成

我坐在雪白冰冷會議室等著
哼著小毛驢等著見大人
我的床單地板碗盤等不到我
回家只躺著空洞靈魂

那年 等夏天 等告白 青春
這年 等綠燈 等年終 等陌生人

那些年 等長大 等戀愛 等等
這年 等過多少理由 卻等不到誰想愛我

那天 有人說 等以後 就懂
今天 我真的 開竅了 突然懂了

這些年 吃個飯 等一下 等等
夠了 不要再讓誰等 我要珍惜身邊的人

Wait

May I ask, what are modern people waiting for?
The faster the pace, the less time there is.
Turning the pages of history, what did ancients await?
Waiting for the four seasons, rain or shine, and the harvest.

I sat in the cold, white conference room, waiting.
Humming "Little Donkey" while waiting to meet with an important person.
My bedsheets, the floor, the dishes couldn't wait for me.
Coming home only to lie down with an empty soul.

That year, I waited for summer, for a confession, for youth.
This year, I wait for green lights, for bonuses, for strangers.

In those years, I waited to grow up, to fall in love, and to wait.
This year, I've waited through so many excuses, but I can't wait for someone to love me.

That day, someone told me, "Wait until later, and you'll understand."
Today, I've really become enlightened. It suddenly dawned on me.

All these years, waiting for a meal, wait a minute, wait.
Enough. I won't make anyone wait anymore. I want to cherish the people around me.
