“蒲公英的约定 (A Dandelion’s Promise)” by Jay Chou 周杰伦 **** Original Chinese lyrics **** 小學籬芭旁的蒲公英 是記憶裡有味道的風景 午睡操場傳來蟬的聲音 多少年後也還是很好聽 將願望折紙飛機寄成信 因為我們等不到那流星 認真投決定命運的硬幣 卻不知道到底能去哪裡 一起長大的約定 那樣清晰 打過勾的我相信 說好要一起旅行 是妳如今 唯一堅持的任性 在走廊上罰站打手心 我們卻注意窗邊的蜻蜓 我去到哪裡妳都跟很緊 很多的夢在等待著進行 一起長大的約定 那樣清晰 打過勾的我相信 說好要一起旅行 是妳如今 唯一堅持的任性 一起長大的約定 那樣真心 與妳聊不完的曾經 而我已經分不清 妳是友情 還是錯過的愛情 **** English translation **** The dandelion next to the fence in primary […]

27 March 2019 난 처음에 전혀 공감할 수 없었고 내 이야기가 아니라고 생각했을 뿐더러 억지로 짜맞추려 하기까지 하며 나름의 노력을 했음에도 여전히 내 경험과 배경과는 다르다고 느꼈어 근데 지금 갑자기 사계를 들으며 번쩍 떠오르는 것이 내가 서른이 될 때까지 그 동안 내 인생에 가장 큰 비중을 차지했던 음악과 나의 이야기가 아닐까 하는 생각이 드네 지금의 […]
