Paroles et traduction Huang Yee Ling - 無字的情批

無字的情批

阿嬤不識字 但是伊識真多的代誌
伊講閃電是天的鎖匙 鎖匙打開有雨水
阿嬤不識字 但是有一張情批寫乎伊
經過幾十年不曾拆開 她講寫字不如相思

我愛的伊 欲來離開 伊講孤單尚適合伊
無留半字 就斷了過去
不甘心付出 為伊哮歸暝
我愛的伊 欲來離開 伊講孤單尚適合伊
山盟海誓 也失去意義
情批攏無字 癡心變青眠

我甲阿嬤問 阿嬤的情批是寫啥咪
伊講情人欲愛無勇氣 才來用字騙情意

我愛的伊 欲來離開 伊講孤單尚適合伊
無留半字 就斷了過去
不甘心付出 為伊哮歸暝
我愛的伊 欲來離開 伊講孤單尚適合伊
山盟海誓 也失去意義
情批攏無字 癡心變青眠

我甲阿嬤問 阿嬤的情批是寫啥咪
伊講情人欲愛無勇氣 才來用字騙情意

伊講情人欲愛無勇氣 才來用字騙分開

Unspoken Love Letter

Grandmother could not read, but she knew so much
She said lightning was a key from Heaven, and the key would open up the rain
Grandmother could not read, but she had a love letter written for her
After decades, she never opened it, because she said words could not capture the longing

My beloved, you wish to leave me, saying solitude suits you
Leaving behind no words, you have ended our past
I cannot bear your indifference, and I have cried myself to sleep every night
My beloved, you wish to leave me, saying solitude suits you
Our vows have become meaningless
The love letter is blank, and my heart aches

I asked Grandmother, what was written in her love letter?
She said when love is present but one lacks courage, one resorts to words to deceive

My beloved, you wish to leave me, saying solitude suits you
Leaving behind no words, you have ended our past
I cannot bear your indifference, and I have cried myself to sleep every night
My beloved, you wish to leave me, saying solitude suits you
Our vows have become meaningless
The love letter is blank, and my heart aches

I asked Grandmother, what was written in her love letter?
She said when love is present but one lacks courage, one resorts to words to deceive

She said when love is present but one lacks courage, one resorts to words to part
