Текст и перевод песни A-Mei Chang - 偷故事的人

偷故事的人

當你走的那天 我不再說故事了
不再編織起承轉合 也不用為結局苦惱了
當你走的那天 你不再說故事了
不再安排我的對白 也叫我別再著迷了
於是偷走令自己大笑的故事
於是偷走令自己傷心的故事
而我總任性的 對別人驕傲的說著
口沫橫飛 生動的 像我們一起走過的
本可那樣 幸福的
而你走的那天 所有觀眾隨你走了
聽者既然無心聽著 說者當然也無意了
應該要一一道歉 我不該偷故事的
是你讓我的精彩空了 而想念讓人變狂了
於是拼湊了別人傷心的故事
於是黏貼了別人快樂的故事
而我總練習著 如何驕傲的說著
同時不再情緒化的為偷竊行為負責
因為愛是貧窮的
為我的無禮道歉 我道歉 我道歉
為我的虛榮道歉 我道歉 我道歉
像每個寓言說的 貪婪是有代價的
我擁有超過我能承載的
你連結局也不留了
於是偷走令自己大笑的故事
於是偷走令自己傷心的故事
而我總任性的
對別人驕傲的說著
口沫橫飛 生動的 像我們一起走過的
本可那樣 幸福的
我道歉 我道歉
我不該偷故事的

The Story Thief

On the day you left, I stopped telling stories.
No more weaving introductions, developments, turning points, or conclusions. No more agonizing over endings.
On the day you left, you stopped telling stories.
No more assigning me dialogue. No more telling me to stop obsessing.
So I stole the stories that made me laugh.
So I stole the stories that made me cry.
And I would always tell them to others with pride, arrogantly,
Spitting and gesticulating, as if they were stories we had experienced together.
Stories we could have lived happily ever after in.
But the day you left, the audience went with you.
The listeners had lost interest, so of course the storyteller had no purpose.
I should apologize, one by one. I shouldn't have stolen those stories.
You made my life a grand spectacle, and missing you drove me mad.
So I pieced together other people's sad stories.
So I pasted together other people's happy stories.
And I practiced how to tell them with pride,
All the while avoiding any emotional responsibility for my thievery.
Because love is poverty.
I apologize for my rudeness. I apologize. I apologize.
I apologize for my vanity. I apologize. I apologize.
Like every fable says, greed comes at a price.
I possessed more than I could bear.
You didn't even leave me an ending.
So I stole the stories that made me laugh.
So I stole the stories that made me cry.
And I would always tell them arrogantly,
To others with pride.
Spitting and gesticulating, as if they were stories we had experienced together.
Stories we could have lived happily ever after in.
I apologize. I apologize.
I shouldn't have stolen those stories.
