Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

打開一片窗 伸出一雙手

Open a window, reach out with both hands

載浮 載沉

Floating, sinking

吹過一抹風

A breeze blows by

有些親近不得不發生

Some closeness is bound to happen

有些距離叫人越活越枯悶

Some distance makes you wither as you live

就算無雲的天空有多深

No matter how deep the cloudless sky is

比不上渴望深

It can't compare to the depth of longing

我要給世界最悠長的濕吻

I want to give the world the longest, lingering kiss

就算無常的大地有裂痕

Even if the impermanent earth has cracks

自己可完整

I can be whole

我要給世界最悠長的濕吻

I want to give the world the longest, lingering kiss

閉上眼 閉上眼 總會看到剎那的神

Close your eyes, close your eyes, you'll always see a moment of divinity

一晃眼 一晃眼 總會碰到偶然的真

In a flash, in a flash, you'll always encounter accidental truth

過一天 愛一天 反正一切都有可能

Live each day, love each day, anyway, everything is possible

過去的 未來的 不聞也不問

The past, the future, I won't ask, I won't care

換個靈魂

Change my soul

...

...

(過去的 未來的 不聞也不問)

(The past, the future, I won't ask, I won't care)

東南西北方 都會有時候

East, west, south, north, there will be times for all

感覺 我們

Feeling, us

帶著一個夢

Carrying a dream

忘掉所有美麗的犧牲

Forget all the beautiful sacrifices

只要記得所有專注時的動人

Just remember all the touching moments of focus

(記得所有專注時的人)

(Remember all the people in moments of focus)

享受黃昏的始終有黃昏

Enjoying the dusk, there's always dusk

誰始終還在等

Who is still waiting

我要給世界最悠長的濕吻

I want to give the world the longest, lingering kiss

吞下雨水的馬上會重生

Swallowing rainwater, you'll be reborn immediately

自己可完整

I can be whole

我要給世界最悠長的濕吻

I want to give the world the longest, lingering kiss

閉上眼 閉上眼 總會看到剎那的神

Close your eyes, close your eyes, you'll always see a moment of divinity

一晃眼 一晃眼 總會碰到偶然的真

In a flash, in a flash, you'll always encounter accidental truth

過一天 愛一天 反正一切都有可能

Live each day, love each day, anyway, everything is possible

過去的 未來的 不聞也不問

The past, the future, I won't ask, I won't care

換個靈魂

Change my soul

(過去的 未來的)

(The past, the future)

閉上眼 閉上眼 剎那可以旁若無人

Close your eyes, close your eyes, for a moment, you can be oblivious to everyone else

一晃眼 一晃眼 偶然變成另一個人

In a flash, in a flash, accidentally become someone else

過一天 愛一天 反正一切都有可能

Live each day, love each day, anyway, everything is possible

溫柔的 暴烈的 換不了肉身

Gentle or violent, it can't change the flesh

換個靈魂

Change my soul

...

Key Grammar Structures

• 載浮 載沉

  ➔ Reduplication of verbs/adjectives

  ➔ The repetition of "載浮" emphasizes the state of floating and sinking, conveying a feeling of being adrift.

• 有些親近不得不發生

  ➔ 不得不 (bùdébù): have to, cannot but

  ➔ "不得不" indicates an action that is unavoidable or necessary. Here, it suggests that some closeness is inevitable.

• 有些距離叫人越活越枯悶

  ➔ 越...越... (yuè...yuè...): the more...the more...

  ➔ "越活越枯悶" uses the "越...越..." structure to express that the more one lives, the more dull and suffocating they feel.

• 比不上渴望深

  ➔ 比不上 (bǐ bù shàng): not comparable to, cannot match

  ➔ "比不上" indicates that something is not comparable to something else. In this case, the depth of the sky is not comparable to the depth of longing.

• 就算無常的大地有裂痕 自己可完整

  ➔ 就算 (jiùsuàn) : even if, granted that

  ➔ "就算" introduces a hypothetical condition, emphasizing that even if the condition is true, the main clause still holds. Here, even if the impermanent earth has cracks, one can still be whole.

• 溫柔的 暴烈的 換不了肉身

  ➔ 的 (de): possessive particle / adjectival suffix

  ➔ The "的" after "溫柔" and "暴烈" transforms them into adjectives modifying the implied subject (actions, feelings). This highlights the nature of these contrasting emotions.
