Текст и перевод песни 黃明志 - 台北之旅

台北之旅

我搭車 從桃園機場到台北的路上一直都不敢抬頭
自從畢業了之後 那麼多年第一次回到第二個鄉愁
在這裡回憶太濃 那時候過的太窮
只有妳這個傻瓜 願意陪我吃泡麵啃菜頭
朋友都笑我 幹嘛躲在臺灣延畢打工
做音樂難出頭 要做就不要在那邊哭窮

妳騎車載著我 到各大唱片公司投DEMO
承受的冷眼嘲笑 妳說是他們白癡加耳聾
只有妳會懂我 只有妳會陪著我
就算我的音樂別人永遠都聽不懂
我的作品 妳四處播送 驕傲地炫耀著妳的男友
雖然我知道 那些豬頭都只是假笑應酬
妳經常瞞著我說 公司的便當還剩很多
其實我都懂 妳不過想讓我吃飯能抬頭

陽明山上 那停車房三坪的閣樓
那是我們 狹小又貧困的嚴冬
在台北街頭 停停走走 不變的高樓
最熟悉的路口 殘留妳的笑妳的沉默
在台北街頭 行人匆匆 誰都帶不走

甜蜜苦澀都經過
那都是屬於妳我 曾經的擁有

成功的男人失敗的男人 背後都有個女人
連個生日蛋糕都買不起 那都是我的無能
我告訴自己 不能放棄 因為至少還有妳
要揚眉吐氣 別再讓妳爸爸媽媽弟弟瞧不起
搬到了台北車站旁邊的危樓 頂樓加蓋夏天都超熱

冬天鐵皮變冰格 客運開過都會有餘震
我錄音寫歌 妳躺著看海賊王就快樂
泡麵加滷蛋 猜拳洗碗今晚妳又輸了
再搬到紅燈區 那裡房租都比較便宜
因為隔壁有 輻射發電工廠竊水等危機
我們用DV 拍攝紀錄生活的點點滴滴

贏了短片比賽 拿了獎金想帶妳去旅行
妳卻買了Keyboard軟體 要我繼續努力前進
當我被大馬警方通緝 妳阻擋著媒體
告訴我 這個難關一定會撐過去
在台北街頭 停停走走 不變的高樓

最熟悉的路口 殘留妳的笑妳的沉默
在台北街頭 行人匆匆 誰都帶不走

甜蜜苦澀都經過
那都是屬於妳我 曾經的擁有

過去再多的磨難苦頭 只有妳懂我
感謝妳陪著我一起走過 那些年的落魄
在台北街頭 停停走走 不變的高樓
最熟悉的路口 殘留妳的笑妳的沉默
說好了不會食言 要一起直到永遠
在台北街頭 行人匆匆 誰都帶不走
許下了愛情誓約 怎樣都不會改變
甜蜜苦澀都經過
在離開前的那一夜 我們都哭紅了雙眼
那都是屬於妳我 曾經的擁有
桃園機場留下的淚 卻成了永遠的道別

謝謝妳給我的一切 希望妳現在過得很好
You are my angel

Taipei Tour

I took a car from Taoyuan airport to Taipei, and I didn't dare to look up all the way
Since I graduated, it's been so many years since I went back to my second hometown
The memories here are too strong, I was too poor back then
Only you, this fool, were willing to eat instant noodles and gnaw on radishes with me
All of my friends laughed at me for hiding in Taiwan to delay graduation and work
Making music is hard to make ends meet, if you're going to do it, don't cry poor over there

You rode your bike with me to all the major record companies to submit demos
Enduring the cold eyes and ridicule, you said they were idiots and deaf
Only you would understand me, only you would accompany me
Even if no one else ever understands my music
My work, you broadcast it everywhere, proudly showing off your boyfriend
Although I know that those idiots are just giving fake smiles and doing lip service
You often hide from me and say that the company has a lot of leftover lunch boxes
But I understand, you just want me to be able to eat with my head held high

Yangmingshan, that three-ping attic in the parking lot
That's our narrow and poor winter
On the streets of Taipei, stop and go, the unchanging high-rises
The most familiar intersection, with your smile and your silence
On the streets of Taipei, the pedestrians are in a hurry, no one can take you away

We've been through sweetness and bitterness
That all belongs to you and me, it was once ours

Successful men, failed men, all have a woman behind them
I can't even afford a birthday cake, that's my incompetence
I tell myself not to give up, because at least I still have you
I want to make a name for myself, and not let your parents and brother look down on me anymore
Moved to the dilapidated building next to Taipei Main Station, the rooftop addition is super hot in the summer

In winter, the iron skin becomes an ice cube, and when the buses pass by, there will be aftershocks
I record songs and write songs, you lie and watch "One Piece" and you're happy
Instant noodles with braised eggs, rock-paper-scissors to wash the dishes, you lost again tonight
Moved to the red light district again, the rent there is cheaper
Because next door there is a radiation power plant, stealing water and other crises
We use DV to film and document our lives

Won the short film competition, took the prize money and wanted to take you on a trip
But you bought the Keyboard software and asked me to keep trying
When I was wanted by the Malaysian police, you blocked the media
Tell me that this hurdle will surely pass
On the streets of Taipei, stop and go, the unchanging high-rises

The most familiar intersection, with your smile and your silence
On the streets of Taipei, the pedestrians are in a hurry, no one can take you away

We've been through sweetness and bitterness
That all belongs to you and me, it was once ours

No matter how many hardships and pains in the past, only you understood me
Thank you for being with me through those years of poverty
On the streets of Taipei, stop and go, the unchanging high-rises
The most familiar intersection, with your smile and your silence
We said we wouldn't break our promise, we would be together forever
On the streets of Taipei, the pedestrians are in a hurry, no one can take you away
We made a love pact, nothing will change
We've been through sweetness and bitterness
The night before we left, we both cried our eyes red
That all belongs to you and me, it was once ours
The tears left at Taoyuan airport have become eternal farewells

Thank you for everything, I hope you are well now
You are my angel
