This song has been collected in Xia Yu Yao’s official album “LISTEN”, available on all major digital streaming platforms now!
凝望著 你的照片
I gaze at your photograph,
時間 凍結在那天
my time remains frozen on that day.
還記得 你依稀的笑臉
I still faintly remember your smiling face.
回想著 所有謊言
I think back to all those lies.
你說 不會有那天
You said that that day would never come,
而如今 卻不再我身邊
but in the here and now, you aren’t by my side.
回憶化為灰燼
The memories have turned to ashes,
隨風飄散遠去
scattered far away by the wind.
無法停止的想念
I’m unable to contain my longing.
愛～ 從來不自由
Love~ has never been without restrictions.
無所謂對錯 會少些負擔
If I indifferently face those wrongs, I’ll lessen some of my burdens,
就算以被灼傷
even if I’ve already been hurt.
愛～ 一直都存在
Love~ has always had the existence of
誤會與傷害 沉默與背叛
misunderstandings and harm, silence and betrayal,
就算過程絢爛 很絢爛
even if, in the moment, it’s dazzling, extremely dazzling.
我還在漩渦中起浮
I’m still trying to remain afloat in the whirlpool,
你的愛早已落幕
while your love has already long ended.
回頭才發現毫無退路
Only when I turn back do I realize there’s no retreat.
愛～ 有多少回憶
Love~ has so many memories
釀成了甜蜜 也混著淚滴
that turn into sweetness but also lead to tears,
在心海裡沉積
collecting in the seas of one’s heart.
愛不是原罪
Love isn’t an original sin.
痛過了幾回 才懂得真切
Only after a few rounds of pain does one understand sincerity
不在夢裡沉醉
and is no longer drunk on dreams.
愛～ 從來不自由
Love~ has never been without restrictions.
無所謂對錯 會少些負擔
If I indifferently face those wrongs, I’ll lessen some of my burdens,
就算已被灼傷
even if I’ve already been hurt.
愛～ 一直都存在
Love~ has always had the existence of
誤會與傷害 沉默與背叛
misunderstandings and harm, silence and betrayal,
就算過程絢爛 曾絢爛
even if, in the moment, it’s dazzling, extremely dazzling.
Although the comment says that LISTEN is on digital streaming, it doesn’t seem to be available now (this song was posted in 2018), though you can still see the crossfade of this album on Youtube.
