Paroles et traduction 魏如萱 - 美人

美人

然後就這樣發生
某個早晨
捨不得穿的褲子
發現差了幾寸
你的下半身告別了前半生
身體有向上也有橫向的可能

滑過手機的新聞
滑過敲你的人們
滑過舊的戰爭
滑過新的皺紋
自拍照裡的肉身
餘震強過蕁麻疹
時間有自己紋身
無聲的狠如常溫文

美人美人
美不過別人
格式不合標準
可是依然迷人
不是線條的緊身
靈魂要的是放任
背向的人生接受回不去的可能

然後再一次發生
某個黃昏
只穿一次的洋裝
拉鍊就卡在腰身
你的下半身告別了前半生
身體被馴服也有失控的可能

滑過手機的新聞
滑過陌生的人們
滑過日常戰爭
滑過地殼凹痕
鏡頭拍到的別人
他們情緒的疤痕
時間有自己指紋
放過自身注目他人

美人美人
不完美的人
格式不合標準
但比誰都勝任
接受容器的肉身
來變身中型美人
背向的人生接受想不到的可能

美人美人
就是你本人
把那大象塞進
小冰箱的傳聞
沒事美是
活生生的人
過去加上現在
大一號的人生

我們加上你們才是大一號的人
我們加上你們才是大一號的人
我們加上你們才是大一號的人
我們加上你們才是大一號的人

Song of a Beauty

And then it happened
One morning
Pants I have been reluctant to wear
Suddenly became inches too small
Your lower body bid farewell to its former half
Your frame has the potential to grow both vertically and horizontally

I swipe through the news on my phone
I swipe through people who will judge you
I swipe through old wars
I swipe through new wrinkles
The flesh in my selfies
Continues to quiver more than hives
Time has its own etchings
It’s quietly cruel, disguised as meek and mild

My beauty, my beauty
I am not more beautiful than others
My appearance does not conform to the norm
But I am still alluring nonetheless
I don’t constrict my curves
My soul desires liberation
I turn my back on the old me and accept that it is gone forever

And then it happened again
One evening
A dress I have only worn once
Its zipper jams at my waist
Your lower body bid farewell to its former half
Your body is domesticated but it also has the potential to run wild

I swipe through the news on my phone
I swipe through strangers
I swipe through commonplace wars
I swipe through crevices in the earth’s crust
The camera captures others
The scars of their emotions
Time has its own fingerprints
Forgive yourself and focus on others

My beauty, my beauty
I am flawed
My appearance does not conform to the norm
But I rise to the occasion better than anyone else
I accept the flesh of its vessel
To become a mid-size beauty
I turn my back on the old me and accept the unimaginable

My beauty, my beauty
You are the one
Stuff that elephant into
That tiny refrigerator, so they say
It’s fine to be beautiful, as
A living breathing being
The past plus the present
A large-sized life

You and I together are large
You and I together are large
You and I together are large
You and I together are large
