Karen Mok - A Tale of Two Cities

莫文蔚 - 双城故事
Mo Wen Wei - Shuang Cheng Gu Shi



内湖买的那一束红玫瑰
nei hu mai de na yi shu hong mei gui
比尖沙咀那一束更美
bi jian sha ju na yi shu geng mei
到阳明山泡温泉酒一杯
dao yang ming shan pao wen quan jiu yi bei
有没有伊豆的风味
you mei you yi dou de feng wei
整个三月当你走过下梅雨的台北
zheng ge san yue dang ni zou guo xia mei yu de tai bei
香港也会就连墙壁也为你心情发霉
xiang gang ye hui jiu lian qiang bi ye wei ni xing qing fa mei
-
The bundle of roses bought in Inner Lake
Are more beautiful than the ones from Jian Sha Ju
Soaking in the hot springs at Yang Ming Mountain with a cup of wine
Does it possess the flavour of Yi Dou
All of March while you were walking through the rain of cherry blossoms in Taipei
Even the walls in Hong Kong become mildewed for missing you


来又回思想随你而飞
lai you hui si xiang sui ni er fei
你在叹气这里感到风吹
ni zai tan qi zhe li gan dao feng chui
千山万水沿路风景有多美
qian shan wan shui yan lu feng jing you duo mei
也比不上在你身边徘徊
ye bi bu shang zai ni shen bian pai hui
-
Arriving and leaving, my thoughts follow you in flight
When you sigh, here I feel a gust of wind
A million mountains and lakes, how beautiful the scenery along the road is
But it doesn't compare to simply hanging around you


南京西路吃鲑鱼会不会
nan jing xi lu chi gui yu hui bu hui
比起新宿那一次珍贵
bi qi xin xiu na yi ci zhen gui
长安东路和你喝的咖啡
chang an dong lu he ni he de ka fei
也有巴黎阳光下的滋味
ye you ba li yang guang xia de zi wei
整个冬季金色的灯泡把海港包围
zheng ge dong ji jin se de deng pao ba hai wan bao wei
在你心扉会不会倒影出春光明媚
zai ni xin fei hui bu hui dao yin chu chun guang ming mei
-
Would eating salmon on West Road in Nanking
Be more precious than that time in Xin Xiu
The coffee I had with you on South Road in Chang'an
Possesses the essences of Paris' sunlight
The whole winter golden lights surrounded the harbour
In your guts do you feel that they are more radiant than a spring scenery


来来回回思想随你而飞
lai lai hui hui si xiang sui ni er fei
没有了你天地都是浪费
mei you le ni tian di dou shi lang fei
千山万水沿路风景有多美
qian shan wan shui yan lu feng jing you duo mei
也比不上在你身边徘徊
ye bi bu shang zai ni shen bian pai hui
-
Coming and going, my thoughts follow you in flight
Without you all of heaven and earth is wasted
A million mountains and lakes, how beautiful the scenery along the road is
But it doesn't compare to simply hanging around you


整个冬季金色的灯泡把海港包围
zheng ge dong ji jin se de deng pao ba hai wan bao wei
在你心扉会不会倒影出春光明媚
zai ni xin fei hui bu hui dao yin chu chun guang ming mei
-
The whole winter golden lights surrounded the harbour
In your guts do you feel that they are more radiant than a spring scenery


来来回回思想随你而飞
lai lai hui hui si xiang sui ni er fei
没有了你天地都是浪费
mei you le ni tian di dou shi lang fei
千山万水沿路风景有多美
qian shan wan shui yan lu feng jing you duo mei
也比不上在你身边徘徊
ye bi bu shang zai ni shen bian pai hui
-
Coming and going, my thoughts follow you in flight
Without you all of heaven and earth is wasted
A million mountains and lakes, how beautiful the scenery along the road is
But it doesn't compare to simply hanging around you


千山万水任时光后退
qian shan wan shui ren shi guang hou tui
也只希望在你身边徘徊
ye zhi xi wang zai ni shen bian pai hui
-
A million mountains and lakes, let time flow backwards
And I'll still only want to hang around you

Karen Mok - Hands

莫文蔚 - 手
Mo Wen Wei - Shou



那是你的手 曾经轻轻安抚我眉头
na shi ni de shou / ceng jing jin jin an fu wo mei tou
但也是它摔开了我的手
dan ye shi ta shuai kai le wo de shou
泄了气的气球 两颗心在萎缩的温柔
xie le qi de qi qiu / liang ke xin zai wei suo de wen rou
你始终只低着头 紧握你拳头
ni shi zhong zhi di zhe tou / jin wo ni quan tou
-
It was your hands which once gently soothed my brow
But it is also those hands, which flung away my hands
A balloon with its air let out, two hearts which exist in shrinking gentleness
You're head is bowed even now, you’re tightly clenching your fists


透过这窗口 有人会猜我们是朋友
tou guo zhe chuang ko / you ren hui cai wo men shi peng you
最普通的朋友 甚至不点头
zui pu tong de peng you / shen zhi bu dian tou
在记忆的上游 那是什么揪着我心头
zai ji yi de shang you / na shi shen me jiu zhe wo de xin tou
是不是你那双 我熟悉的手
shi bu shi ni na shuang / wo shou xi de shou
-
Through a window, people might guess that we are friends
The most ordinary of friends, so much that we don't even nod
Upstream in my memories, what is it pulling at my heart?
Is it that familiar pair of hands?


但抱过你的手 还能放在谁背后
dan bao guo ni de shou / hai neng fang zai shui bei hou
你想过没有 我们为何会牵手
ni xiang guo mei you / wo men wei he qu qian shou
是什么理由 然后 没有然后
shi shen me li you / ran hou / mei you ran hou
甚至不再 挥挥手
shen zhi bu zai / hui hui shou
-
But how could these hands that have embraced you ever be placed upon someone else's back?
Have you ever thought about why we hold hands?
What was the reason? And then, nothing hereafter
To the extent where we don't even wave goodbye


那是你的手 曾经把我捧在你胸口
na shi ni de shou / ceng jin ba wo peng zai ni xiong ko
但今天以后它不会再敲我门口
dan jin tian yi hou ta bu hui zai qiao wo men ko
有一股腥红的哀愁 缓缓的流出卡住我 喉头
you yi gu xing hong de ai chou / huan huan de liu chu ka zhu wo / hou tou
你远远的抱着手肘 只站在外头
ni yuan yuan de bao zhe shou zhou / zhi zhan zai wai tou
-
It was your hands, which used hold me into your chest
But from today on it'll never knock my door again
A whiff of sorrow, red and raw, unhurriedly flows out and blocks my throat
You're standing just outside yet far away, holding your elbow


但抱过你的手 还能放在谁背后
dan bao guo ni de shou / hai neng fang zai shui bei hou
你想过没有 我们上一次牵手
ni xiang guo mei you / wo men shang yi ci qian shou
是什么时候 然后 没有然后
shi shen me shi hou / ran hou / mei you ran hou
甚至不再挥挥手
shen zhi bu zai hui hui shou
-
But how could these hands that have embraced you ever be placed upon someone else's back?
Have you ever thought about the last time we held hands?
When was it? And then, nothing hereafter
To the extent where we don't even wave goodbye


抱过你的手 还能放在谁背后
bao guo ni de shou / hai neng fang zai shui bei hou
是什么时候 我们上一次牵手
shi shen me shi hou / wo men shang yi ci qian shou
但抱过你以后 有什么已被没收
dan bao guo ni yi hou / you shen me yi bei mo shou
你想过没有 我们第一次牵手
ni xiang guo mei you / wo men di yi ci qian shou
是什么借口 然后 没有然后
shi shen me jie kou / ran hou / mei you ran hou
甚至不再 挥挥手
shen zhi bu zai / hui hui shou
-
How could these hands that have embraced you ever be placed upon someone else's back?
When was the last time that we held hands?
But what was confiscated after I embraced you?
Have you ever thought about the first time we held hands?
What was the excuse? And then, nothing hereafter
To the extent where we don't even wave goodbye


分手 也不需理由
fen shou / ye bu xu li you
-
No reason is allowed, not even for breaking up

词：林夕
Ci: Lin Xi
曲：周杰伦
Qu: Zhou Jie Lun
-
Lyrics: Lin Xi
Composer: Jay Chou



有人在三更半夜 寂寞中 等待中
you ren zai san geng ban ye / ji mo zhong / deng dai zhong
有人在光天化日 玩乐中 荒淫中
you ren zai guang tian hua ri / wan le zhong / huang yin zhong
有人在天下太平 失恋中 失落中
you ren zai tian xia tai ping / shi lian zhong / shi luo zhong
有人在末日无趣 游戏中 快乐中
you ren zai mo ri wu qu / you xi zhong / kuai le zhong
-
There are people in the middle of the night, feeling lonely, waiting
There are people in their days of glory, enjoying themselves, being wasteful
There are people in days of peace, in an unsuccessful romance, feeling disappointment
There are people uninterested in the end of the world, playing games, feeling happy


你是否一位观众 看着他们有用没用
ni shi fou yi wei guan zhong / kan zhe ta men you yong mei yong
你是否一位观众 看着他们有种没种
ni shi fou yi wei guan zhong / kan zhe ta men you zhong mei zhong
-
Are you a part of the audience? Is there any use in watching them?
Are you a part of the audience? Is there any dignity in watching them?


有人在花季年龄 穿越中 高潮中
you ren zai hua ji nian ling / chuan yue zhong / gao chao zhong
有人在妥协岁月 得到中 低调中
you ren zai tuo xie sui yue / de dao zhong / di diao zhong
有人在患得患失 求学中 尝试中
you ren zai huan de huan shi / qiu xue zhong / chang shi zhong
哪一位才是英雄
na yi wei cai shi ying xiong
-
There are people in the spring of their youth, passing through, at their heights
There are people in their time of compromise, receiving, being discreet
There are people dealing with personal loss, seeking wisdom, still trying
That individual is the hero here


也许这些人们都 过程不同 目标相同
ye xu zhe xie ren men dou / guo cheng bu tong / mu biao xiang tong
也许我们就在其中
ye xu wo men jiu zai qi zhong
也许都分别不大 心情不同 天下大同
ye xu dou fen bie bu da / xing qing bu tong / tian xia da tong
也许他们都是儿童
ye xu ta men dou shi er tong
-
Maybe these people all went through a different process, while aiming for the same goals
Maybe we are a part of them
Maybe there isn't a large difference between them; they have different feelings, but the general world remains unchanged
Maybe they are all children


一闪一闪 小小星星 晃动星光的朦胧
yi shan yi shan / xiao xiao xing xing / huang dong xing guang de meng long
星光朦胧 千山万水 正好装饰你的梦
xing guang meng long / qian shan wan shui / zheng hao zhuang shi ni de meng
你的眼睛 正好装饰 你的星球上的洞
ni de yan jing / zheng hao zhuang shi / ni de xi qiu shang de dong
成千上万 黑色眼珠 正在交互地转动
cheng qian shang wan / hei se yan zhu / zheng zai jiao hu di zhuan dong
-
Twinkle twinkle little star, a haze of dazzling starlight
The haze of starlight, innumerable mountains and waters, perfectly decorate your dreams
Your eyes perfectly decorate the hollowness on your planet
Over a million black irises are twirling one bye one


有人在地铁车站 寻找中 荒废中
you ren zai di tie che zhan / xun zhao zhong / huang fei zhong
有人在人行道上 前进中 命运中
you ren zai ren xing dao shang / qian jin zhong / ming yun zhong
有人在厨房中央 麻木中 烧菜中
you ren zai chu fang zhong yang / ma mu zhong / shao cai zhong
有人在睡房边缘 吵骂中 冲突中
you ren zai shui fang bian yuan / chao ma zhong / chong tu zhong
-
There are people in a subway station, searching and neglected
There are people on the sidewalk, advancing, in the hands of fate
There are people in the center of a kitchen, feeling numb, cooking
There are people on the edges of a bedroom, in heated argument, in conflict


你看人家的时候 跟看自己 有何不同
ni kan ren jia de shi hou / gen kan zi ji / you he bu tong
有时候会不会心痛
you shi hou hui bu hui xin tong
也许这些人们都 过程不同 目标相同
ye xu zhe xie ren men dou / guo cheng bu tong / mu biao xiang tong
也许我们就在其中
ye xu wo men jiu zai qi zhong
也许都分别不大 心情不同 天下大同
ye xu dou fen bie bu da / xing qing bu tong / tian xia da tong
也许他们都是儿童
ye xu ta men dou shi er tong
-
When you are observing other people, is it any different from seeing yourself?
Do you feel pain for them sometimes?
Maybe these people all went through a different process, while aiming for the same goals
Maybe we are a part of them
Maybe there isn't a large difference between them; they have different feelings, but the general world remains unchanged
Maybe they are all children


一闪一闪 小小星星 晃动星光的朦胧
yi shan yi shan / xiao xiao xing xing / huang dong xing guang de meng long
星光朦胧 千山万水 正好装饰你的梦
xing guang meng long / qian shan wan shui / zheng hao zhuang shi ni de meng
你的眼睛 正好装饰 你的星球上的洞
ni de yan jing / zheng hao zhuang shi / ni de xi qiu shang de dong
成千上万 黑色眼珠 正在交互地转动
cheng qian shang wan / hei se yan zhu / zheng zai jiao hu di zhuan dong
-
Twinkle twinkle little star, a haze of dazzling starlight
The haze of starlight, innumerable mountains and waters, perfectly decorate your dreams
Your eyes perfectly decorate the hollowness on your planet
Over a million black irises are twirling one bye one

Karen Mok - If There Was No You

莫文蔚 - 如果没有你
Mo Wen Wei - Ru Guo Mei You Ni



hey 我真的好想你
hei / wo zhen de hao xiang ni
现在窗外面又开始下着雨
xian zai chuang wai bian you kai shi xia zhe yu
眼睛干干的有想哭的心情
yan jing gan gan de you xiang ku de xin qing
不知道你现在到底在哪里
bu zhi dao ni xian zai dao di zai na li
-
Hey, I really miss you
Right now, it's beginning to rain outside the window
My eyes are dry but I feel like I want to cry
I don't know where you are right now


hey 我真的好想你
hei / wo zhen de hao xiang ni
太多的情绪没适当的表情
tai duo de qing xu mei shi dang de biao qing
最想说的话我该从何说起
zui xiang shuo de hua wo gai cong he shuo qi
你是否也像我一样在想你
ni shi fou ye zai xiang wo yi yang zai xiang ni
-
Hey, I really miss you
Too many emotions don't have a fitting expression
The things I want to speak of the most, where do I start?
Are you thinking of me as well


如果没有你 没有过去 我不会有伤心
ru guo mei you ni / mei you guo qu / wo bu hui you shang xin
但是有如果还是要爱你
dan shi you ru guo hai shi yao ai ni
如果没有你 我在哪里 又有什么可惜
ru guo mei you ni / wo zai na li / you you shen me ke xi
反正一切来不及
fan zheng yi qie lai bu ji
反正没有了自已
fan zheng mei you le zi ji
-
If there was no you, nothing in the past, I wouldn't be hurt
But what if even then, I still love you
If there was no you, there would be nothing to miss no matter where I am
In any case, it's too late for anything
In any case, I've lost myself


hey 我真的好想你
hei / wo zhen de hao xiang ni
不知道你现在到底在哪里
bu zhi dao ni xian zai dao di zai na li
-
Hey, I really miss you
I don't know where you are right now


你是否也像我一样在想你
ni shi fou ye xiang wo yi yang zai xiang ni
-
Are you thinking of me as well?

Karen Mok - Cause And Effect

莫文蔚 - 因为所以
Mo Wen Wei - Yin Wei Suo Yi



因为 整天下雨 空气才会忧郁
yin wei / zheng tian xia yu / kong qi cai hui you yu
所以 跟你没有关系
suo yi / gen ni mei you guan xi
因为 我没有目的 才走到这里
yin wei / wo mei you mu di / cai zou dao zhe li
所以 也不能算迷失
suo yi / ye bu neng suan mi shi
好想说服我自己 但来不及
hao xiang shuo fu wo zi ji / dan lai bu ji
-
Because it's been raining the whole day, the air has been heavyhearted
That's why, it has nothing to do with you
Because I aimlessly wandered to this place
That's why, it doesn't count as losing my way
How I want to convince myself, but it's too late


只因为发现我已失去你 所以才反来覆去
zhi yin wei fa xian wo yi shi qu ni / suo yi cai fan lai fu qu
都是你的话语和你的过去
dou shi ni de huai yu he ni de guo qu
只因为我们都太爱自己 所以习惯不诚实
zhi yin wei wo men dou tai ai zi ji / suo yi xi guan bu cheng shi
就把所有怀疑都当作坚持
jiu ba suo you huai yi dou dang zuo jian chi
太爱原谅自己
tai ai yuan liang zi ji
-
Only because I found out that I've already lost you, that's why there's an endless repeat
It's all your tone of speech and your past
Only because we're all to in love with ourselves, that's why we're used to dishonesty
So we take every suspicion as indication of perseverance
We forgive ourselves too easily


因为 踩着影子 画面才会冷清
yin wei / cai zhe ying zi / hua mian cai hui leng jing
所以 跟你没有关系
suo yi / gen ni mei you guan xi
因为 我不要拥挤 不要谁靠近
yin wei / wo bu yao yong ji / bu yao shui kao jin
所以 也不能算孤寂
suo yi ye bu neng suan gu ji
好想再踩我自己 但来不及
hao xiang zai cai wo zi ji / dan lai bu ji
-
Because I'm stepping on my own shadow, my image becomes desolate
That's why, it has nothing to do with you
Because I don't want crowds and I don't want to be approached
That's why it doesn't count as being lonely
How I want to step on myself again, but it's too late


只因为发现我已失去你 所以才反来覆去
zhi yin wei fa xian wo yi shi qu ni / suo yi cai fan lai fu qu
都是你的话语和你的过去
dou shi ni de huai yu he ni de guo qu
只因为我们都太爱自己 所以习惯不诚实
zhi yin wei wo men dou tai ai zi ji / suo yi xi guan bu cheng shi
就把所有怀疑都当作坚持
jiu ba suo you huai yi dou dang zuo jian chi
太爱原谅自己
tai ai yuan liang zi ji
-
Only because I found out that I've already lost you, that's why there's an endless repeat
It's all your tone of speech and your past
Only because we're all too in love with ourselves, that's why we're used to dishonesty
So we take every suspicion as indication of perseverance
We forgive ourselves too easily


只因为终于我已失去你 所以才能面对你
zhi yin wei zhong yu wo yi shi qu ni / suo yi cai neng mian dui ni
面对你的逃避 你的不在意
mian dui ni de tao bu ni de bu zai yi
只因为我们都太爱自己 所以习惯不诚实
zhi yin wei wo men dou tai ai zi ji / suo yi xi guan bu cheng shi
如果没有掩饰 这个结局会不会是另一个开始
ru guo mei you yan shi / zhe ge jie ju hui bu hui shi ling yi ge kai shi
-
Only because I've finally lost you, that's why I can confront you
Confront your evasions and your indifference
Only because we're all too in love with ourselves, that's why we're used to dishonesty
If it had not been concealed, would this ending have been another beginning?

Karen Mok - All Of A Sudden

莫文蔚 - 忽然之间
Mo Wen Wei - Hu Ran Zhi Jian



忽然之间 天昏地暗
hu ran zhi jian / tian hun di an
世界可能忽然什么都没有
shi jie ke neng hu ran shen me dou mei you
我想起了你 再想到自己
wo xiang qi le ni / zai xiang dao zi ji
我为什么总在非常脆弱的时候 怀念你
wo wei shen me zong zai fei chang cui ruo de shi hou / huai nian ni
-
All of a sudden, the sky dims and the earth darkens
Maybe the whole world suddenly becomes empty
I remember you, and in turn remember myself
Why is is that when I'm feeling very fragile, I always miss you


我明白 太放不开你的爱 太熟悉你的关怀
wo ming bai / tai fang bu kai ni de ai / tai shou xi ni de guan huai
分不开 想你算是安慰还是悲哀
fen bu kai / xiang ni suan shi an wei hai shi bei ai
而现在 就算时针都停摆 就算生命像尘埃
er xian zai / jiu suan shi zhen dou ting bai / jiu suan sheng ming xiang chen ai
分不开 我们也许反而更相信爱
fen bu kai / wo men ye xu fan er geng xiang xin ai
-
I understand, I'm too unable to let go of your love, too familiar with your attentiveness
I can't tell apart, if I think of you for comfort or for grief
And now, even if all clock-hands come to a stop, even if life becomes like dust
Can't break apart, we may instead have more faith in love


如果这天地 最终都会消失
ru guo zhe tian di / zui zhong dou hui xiao shi
不想一路走来珍惜的回忆 没有你
bu xiang yi lu zou lia zhen xi de hui yi / mei you ni
-
If this universe is ultimately going to disappear
I don't want you to be missing from the cherished memories of my journey

Karen Mok - Love

莫文蔚 - 爱
Mo Wen Wei - Ai



你还记得吗 记忆的炎夏
ni hai ji de ma / ji yi de yan xia
散落在风中的已蒸发
san luo zai feng zhong de yi zheng fa
喧哗的都已 沙哑
xuan hua de dou yi / sha ya
-
Do you still remember the flaming summer of memories
What was scattered in the wind has evaporated
What was clamouring and loud have all silenced


没结果的花 未完成的牵挂
mei jie guo de hua /wei wan cheng de qian gua
我们学会许多说法
wo men xue hui xu duo shuo fa
来掩饰不碰的 / 伤疤
lai yan shi bu peng de / shang ba
-
Flowers that never blossomed - unfulfilled worries
We've learned many sayings
To cover up the scars that we don't touch


因为我会想起你 / 我害怕面对自己
yin wei wo hui xiang qi ni / wo hai pa mian dui zi ji
我的意志 总被寂寞吞食
wo de yi zhi / zong bei ji mo tun shi
因为你总会提醒 过去总不会过去
yin wei ni zong hui ti xing / guo qu zong bu hui guo xu
有种真爱不是我的
you zhong zhen ai bu shi wo de
-
Because I will think of you, I'm afraid to confront myself
My will is always devoured by my loneliness
Because you always reminded me that what's past will never be gone
There is a kind of true love that will never be mine


假如我不曾爱你 我不会失去自己
jia ru wo bu ceng ai ni / wo bu hui shi qu zi ji
想念的刺 钉住我的位置
xiang nian de ci / ding zhu wo de wei zhi
因为你总会提醒 尽管我得到世界
yin wei ni zong hui ti xing / jin guan wo de dao shi jie
有些幸福不是我的
you xie xing fu bu shi wo de
-
If I had never loved you, I wouldn't have lost myself
The sting of longing nails me into this position
Because you always reminded me that even if I obtain the world
A kind of happiness will never be mine


你还记得吗 记忆的炎夏
ni hai ji de ma / ji yi de yan xia
我终于没选择的分岔
wo zhong yu mei xuan ze de fen cha
最后又有谁 到达
zui hou you you shui / dao da
-
Do you still remember, the flaming summer of memories
That branch of the road that I finally didn't choose
Who has arrived there, in the end?
