-I love this song when listening to it in a blog for the first time.
So much so that it's worth translating it into English.
Long for holding you once more
And exchanging vows as before
In the familiar horizon
I list'n to your murmuring
Of pining for the heart of mine
Long for holding you once more
And exchanging vows as before
In the familiar horizon
I list'n to your murmuring
Of pining for the heart of mine
Not that I like to follow
Your dreams in the rain
But 'cause where I'll find my end
You told me
That love'd stop my fears of loneliness
'Cause of sorrows I felt in the rain
I love this beautiful write, you have translated brilliantly Yiyan, it is a sad and moving write!
You bring a talent to translation - -one that tries to deliver the message in a poetic way that would please the author. Thank you for posting this!
What a deep sorrow at the end, although you said it was a translation, but when someone translate it using own characteristic and charisma, it highlight work to be felt differently, in this case..i dont know what i feel if i can read chinese words but as i read yours i feel it such beautiful and sorrow...wonderful work! keep it up!
Thanks for your encouragement. Translation is a sort of recreation, and yes translator must have his/her own input :)
