Steve Chou - Dusk

周传雄 - 黄昏
Zhou Chuan Xiong - Huang Hun




过完整个夏天 忧伤并没有好一些
guo wan zheng ge xia tian / you shang bing mei you hao yi xie
开车行驶在公路无际无边
kai che xing shi zai gong lu wu jin wu bian
有离开自己的感觉
you li kai zi ji de gan jue
-
A whole summer has passed, yet the sorrow hasn't eased a bit
Driving along the highway without an end in sight
I've detached myself from my feelings again



唱不完一首歌 疲倦还剩下黑眼圈
chang bu wan yi shou ge / pi juan hai sheng xia he yan quan
感情的世界伤害在所难免
gan qing de shi jie shang hen zai suo nan mian
黄昏再美终要黑夜
huang hun zai mei zong xiao hei ye
-
Not able to finish singing a song, tiredness still remains as dark circles around the eyes
In the realm of emotions hurt is difficult to avoid
No matter how beautiful the dusk is, night will eventually fall



依然记得从你口中说出再见坚决如铁
yi ran ji de cong ni ko zhong shuo chu zai jian jian jue ru tie 
昏暗中有种烈日灼身的错觉
huang hun zhong you zhong lie ri zhuo shen de cuo jue
黄昏的地平线 划出一句离别
huang hun de di ping xian / hua chu yi ju li bie
爱情进入永夜
ai qing jin ru yong ye
-
I still remember the goodbye from your lips as resolute as iron
In the dusky light, there was an illusion of being burnt by a brilliant sun
The horizon at dusk, delineates the phrase 'parting'
Love enters perpetual night



依然记得从你眼中滑落的泪伤心欲绝
yi ran ji de cong ni yan zhong hua luo de lei shang xin yu jue
混乱中有种热泪烧伤的错觉
hun luan zhong you zhong re lei shao shang de cuo jue
黄昏的地平线 割断幸福喜悦
huang hun de di ping xian / ge duan xing fu xi yue
相爱已经幻灭
xiang ai yi jing huan mie
-
I still remember the tears that slid from your eyes sorrowful and despairing
In the confusion, there was an illusion of being scalded by scorching tears
The horizon at dusk, severed all happiness
Love has already vanished

Steve Chou - Lonely Cold Sandbank

周传雄 - 寂寞沙洲冷
Zhou Chuan Xiong - Ji Mo Sha Zhou Leng




自你走后心憔悴
zi ni zou hou xin qiao cui
白色油桐风中纷飞
bai se you tong feng zhong fen fei
落花似人有情这个季节
luo hua si ren you qing zhe ge ji jie
-
Since you left the heart has waned
White tung tree catkins swirl about in the wind
In a season where falling petals are as passionate as man



河畔的风放肆拼命地吹
he pan de feng fang si ping ming de chui
不断拨弄离人的眼泪
bu duan bo nong li ren de yan lei
那样浓烈的爱再也无法给
na yang nong lie de ai zai ye wu fa gei
伤感一夜一夜
shang gan yi ye yi ye
-
The wind by the riverside howls as though its life depended on it
Continuously stirring the tears of the departed one
To never again be able to give a love so strong
Sick at heart night after night



当记忆的线缠绕过往支离破碎
dang ji yi de xian chan rao guo wang zhi li po sui
是慌乱占据了心扉
shi huang luan zhan ju le xin fei
有花儿伴着蝴碟 孤燕可以双飞
you hua er ban zhe hu die / gu yan ke yi shuang fei
夜深人静独徘徊
ye shen ren jing gu pai huai
-
When the thread of memories entwine past events, scattered to pieces
It's chaos occupying the door of one's heart
With flowers accompanying butterflies and solitary swallows able to fly in pairs
In the depths of night a person silently paces alone



当幸福恋人寄来红色分享喜悦
dang xing fu lian ren ji lai hong se fen xiang xi yue
闭上双眼难过头也不敢回
bi shang shuang yan nan guo tou ye bu gan hui
仍然捡尽寒枝不肯安歇微带着后悔
reng ran jian jin han zhi bu ken an xie wei dai zhe hou hui
寂寞沙洲我该思念谁
ji mo sha zhou wo gai si nian shei
-
When a blessed lover sends a red note to share their joyous news
One can only close both eyes sadly, not daring to look back
Still gathering all the cold branches, not willing to rest while carrying any regret
On the cold sandbank of loneliness who should I long for?

Listening to you sing
Liuyang River (Liuyang River), it turns past nine bends (river of time)
A fifty Li waterway reaching the Xiangjiang River
Listening to you sing
Liuyang River, it turns past nine bends
Flowing past how many melancholies and wishes, turning them into gold

Let youth breeze through your long hair, let it pull along your dreams
Unconsciously this city's history has memorized your smile
A blue blue sky in a red red heart is a life's beginning
The spring rain doesn't sleep, and last night you solitarily slumbered



让青春娇艳的花朵绽开了深藏的红颜

Let the youthful, delicate and charming flowers burst forth their hidden rosiness
Flying here and there, the sky full of willow catkins is a fantasy of your smiling face

看我看一眼吧 莫让红颜守空枕
kan wo kan yi yan ba / mo rang hong yan shou kong zhen

Let the wandering footprints write down an everlasting memory in this barren land
Floating here and there, what's written are deeply hidden passions, your heart's words
In previous mortalities and reincarnations, who is hesitating within the noise
Infatuation is laughing at my ordinary human existence, laughing at cares, which in the end, are difficult to resolve

Feifei, Feng - Unforgettable Thoughts

凤飞飞 - 意难忘

tai / zhui qiu jue dui / jiu you le tai duo lei zhui / dang bai ai shang le hei

Intoxicate the mirror with alcohol, make reality less absolute, to feign perfection

爱得好狼狈
ai de hao lang bei

I often say to myself, if I've already paid I can't regret it
But who can truly be nonchalant about it
I really want to fully retreat from what I can't drop yet has turned bland
Loving so pathetically

Those who smile at me are all monsters
After an embrace, saying "friendship is really precious"

After loving you I changed from being smug to feeling inferior



心 伤痕累累 像眼泪一般无味 早已难辨真伪
xin / shang hen lei lei / xiang yan lei yi ban wu wei / zao yi nan bian zhen wei
梦 支离破碎 无止境的憔悴 似花般枯萎
meng / zhi li po sui / wu zhi jing de qiao cui / si hua ban ku wei

The heart, riddled with scars as bland as tears, I've long been unable to distinguish between truth and lies
Dreams, smashed and scattered, limitlessly weak, withering the way flowers do

I close my eyes, and am again surrounded by my longings
Again surrounded by my longings

-
You use a thick nasal voice to say nothing's wrong
After all, it's love's nature to be both beautiful and painful
Perhaps traveling along can be more interesting
Only when it's truly ended with him can you begin anew



几年贴心的日子换分手两个字
ji nian tie xin de ri zi huan fen shou liang ge zi
你却严格只准自己哭一下子

要从心底拿走一个人很痛很难
yao cong xin di na zou yi ge ren hen tong hen nan
-
Can we not be brave
When love's too weary and dreams are too messy, when there are no answers
Are we not even allowed to honestly cry and shout out loud
To take a person out from the bottom of one's heart is a very painful, very difficult thing
