Текст и перевод песни 林家謙 - 某種老朋友

某種老朋友

突然地疑惑龐大陰影活像鯨魚
只有等你要呼吸了才重遇
肯與不再肯也未出於自願 胡言後聽你亂語
為何只懂得看書 為何不邂逅奇遇

突然又容納殘舊陰影暫住 尋常像天要下雨
想與不要想不牽涉贏與輸
我是我間中跟你一些記憶共處 也不再忌諱同住
如皮膚即使碰瘀 從無發現亦痊癒

能暫時懷念某種老朋友
不過未能共享一葉舟
彼此都處身洪流 如何掙扎沉浮
連回想起當初手牽手也顫抖
就弄明白眼前這對不是該雙手
如輪迴臉龐留在當下也逐漸消瘦
如葉有枯榮輪流 命像悼念長壽

誰又能迴避某種過期朋友
一片葉無奈剛飄落背後
世上沒人能阻擋細水愛長流
若回憶偶爾活現就前來挑逗
在復原後走得很遠為何要回頭忍受
但可否當做剩餘無害有情的咀咒
沒有影響此際笑一笑天涼就過秋

就原諒回味從淚水中滴漏 其實沒需要自救
刻意擺脫什麼非永恆這對手
我在著衫聽到你囉嗦再嘲弄我 看衣領漸染黃後
為何不清洗熨斗 為何潔具亦殘舊

能暫時懷念某種老朋友
不過未能共享一葉舟
彼此都處身洪流 如何掙扎沉浮
連回想起當初手牽手也顫抖
就弄明白眼前這對不是該雙手
如輪迴臉龐留在當下也逐漸消瘦
如葉有枯榮輪流 命像悼念長壽

誰又能迴避某種過期朋友
一片葉無奈剛飄落背後
世上沒人能阻擋細水愛長流
若回憶偶爾活現就前來挑逗
在復原後走得很遠為何要回頭忍受
但可否當做剩餘無害有情的咀咒
沒有影響此際笑一笑天涼就過秋

某種老朋友 各撐一葉舟
總少不免驟然遇上當然就
為美好光影感激可以隨身走
就讓迎面變背後 (相親相愛何曾會這樣荒謬)
沒有傷春的我看一看枯葉伴晚秋

如葉也不必考究每一片將活著多久

A Certain Old Friend

Suddenly, the enormous shadow of doubt comes to life like a whale
Only when you need to breathe, do we meet again
Willing or unwilling, it's not up to me; after your nonsense, I'll listen to your gibberish
Why do you only know how to read books; why don't you seek adventure?

Suddenly, I accommodate the old, dilapidated shadow, as ordinary as the rain about to fall
To want or not to want, it's not about winning or losing
I'm me, occasionally sharing some memories with you, and I'm no longer afraid to live together
Like skin, even if bruised, it heals without me even noticing

I can miss a certain old friend for a while
But we can't share a boat
We're both in the rapids; how do we struggle to stay afloat?
Even recalling the trembling of our clasped hands back then
Makes me realize that the pair before me are not the hands they should be
Like reincarnation, the face remains in the present and gradually becomes thinner
As leaves wither and flourish in turn, fate is like mourning longevity

Who can evade a certain expired friend?
A leaf has just fallen behind me, helpless
No one in the world can stop the slow flow of love
If memories occasionally appear, they come to tease
After recovery, I've come so far; why should I turn back and endure it?
But can it be considered a harmless curse of the remaining feelings?
It has no effect; at this moment, I smile, and as the weather cools, autumn will pass

I'll forgive the aftertaste dripping from my tears; in fact, I don't need to save myself
Deliberately getting rid of what's not eternal, that opponent
As I put on my clothes, I hear you nagging and mocking me again, watching the collar gradually turn yellow
Why don't you clean the iron; why are the bathroom fixtures also old?

I can miss a certain old friend for a while
But we can't share a boat
We're both in the rapids; how do we struggle to stay afloat?
Even recalling the trembling of our clasped hands back then
Makes me realize that the pair before me are not the hands they should be
Like reincarnation, the face remains in the present and gradually becomes thinner
As leaves wither and flourish in turn, fate is like mourning longevity

Who can evade a certain expired friend?
A leaf has just fallen behind me, helpless
No one in the world can stop the slow flow of love
If memories occasionally appear, they come to tease
After recovery, I've come so far; why should I turn back and endure it?
But can it be considered a harmless curse of the remaining feelings?
It has no effect; at this moment, I smile, and as the weather cools, autumn will pass

A certain old friend, each paddling a boat
We can't help but suddenly meet, naturally
Grateful for the beautiful light and shadow, we can carry it with us
Let what we face become what we leave behind (How could loving each other ever be so absurd?)
Without the sorrow of spring, I watch the withered leaves accompany the late autumn

Like leaves, we don't need to examine how long each one will live
