i Gei De Bu Gou (I Didn't Give Enough)
i給得不夠
By: Yen-j/嚴爵
Album: Thanks Your Greatness

Translated intro from the lyric book:
"This is a salute to my favorite artist, Stevie Wonder. This song utilizes the 'soul music' of the 70's. Repeating the chorus 3 times in higher keys challenges my tenor range to the utmost limit."




秋風清呀秋月明 你的心思在哪裡
qiu feng qing ya qiu yue ming, ni de xin si zai na li
The fall wind is crisp, the fall moon is bright; Where is your mind wandering?

連著我的憂愁 捉摸都不定
lian zhe wo de you chou, zhuo mo dou bu ding
Connecting my troubles, unfathomable

東邊日出西邊雨 天南地北看著你
dong bian ri chu xi bian yu, tian na di bei kan zhe ni
The sunrise to the east, the rain to the west, watch you from opposite poles

我是你的淚滴 蒸發成風景
wo shi ni de lei di, zheng fa cheng feng jing
I am your tear drop, evaporating into the scenery



那麼多感觸 格格不入
na me duo gan chu, ge ge bu ru
So many emotions are out of tune

這樣傷得風塵僕僕
zhe yang shang de feng chen pu pu
Causing me to be so travel-worn

我只能說…
wo zhi neng shuo...
I can only say...



愛給得不夠 i給得不夠 愛給得不夠
ai gei de bu gou, I gei de bu gou, ai gei de bu gou
I didn't give enough love, I didn't give enough, I didn't give enough love

所以你離開
suo yi ni li kai
So you left

愛給得不夠 i給得不夠 愛給得不夠
ai gei de bu gou, I gei de bu gou, ai gei de bu gou
I didn't give enough love, I didn't give enough, I didn't give enough love

所以你離開我
suo yi ni li kai wo
So you left me



今生無悔今生錯 為了什麼太執著
jin sheng wu hui jin sheng cuo, wei le shen me tai zhi zhuo
Don't regret the mistakes in this life; Why are you so stubborn?

一個糊塗念頭 從此不自由
yi ge hu tu nian tou, cong ci bu zi you
A muddled idea; Not free anymore

歡樂趣呀離別苦 多情如滄海一粟
huan le qu ya li bie ku, duo qing ru can hai yi su
Joyous delight, bitter parting; so many feelings like a drop in the ocean

那人怎麼不在 燈火闌珊處
na ren zen me bu zai, deng huo lan shan chu
How is it that when that person's not here, the lights glow dimly



曾經的幸福 不容回顧
ceng jing de xing fu, bu rong hui gu
I'm not allowed to look back at past happiness

那樣傷得風塵僕僕
na yang shang de feng chen pu pu
Causing me to be so travel-worn

我只能說...
wo zhi neng shuo...
I can only say...



愛給得不夠 i給得不夠 愛給得不夠
ai gei de bu gou, I gei de bu gou, ai gei de bu gou
I didn't give enough love, I didn't give enough, I didn't give enough love

所以你離開
suo yi ni li kai
So you left

愛給得不夠 i給得不夠 愛給得不夠
ai gei de bu gou, I gei de bu gou, ai gei de bu gou
I didn't give enough love, I didn't give enough, I didn't give enough love

所以你離開我
suo yi ni li kai wo
So you left me

(repeat chorus 3 more times)
