MV: Yen-j - Temporary Boyfriend

It's about time to dust off the subbing program and translate some new music videos, yes? Here's a fairly new one from Yen-j's third album. Enjoy!



Temporary Boyfriend
暫時的男朋友 (Zhan Shi De Nan Peng You)
by Yen-j 嚴爵


From the official MV description (part of it...it's very long):

"I think being a 'rebound' is an expression of love. Because if you really love someone, you'll be willing to be their rebound. To comfort them after the breakup. To put all your feelings into helping them, knowing you'll be devastated later. To me, this is is a sacrifice of love. "

Yen-j: Not Alone

Yen-j's second album has been out for awhile, but I never got the translations posted. Sorry guys! >_< But now that he's working on his THIRD album, I'd better get these posted so I'm ready for the new ones!

Some songs I like more than others, but they're all thoroughly Yen-j's style!

Yen-j: Thanks Your Greatness

Yen-j is a "new" artist that I've been a fan of since the beginning of this year. He writes, sings, plays, and arranges all of his songs. That's why his company calls him "完全新人", which pretty much means "The Complete Newbie".

Each song comes with a translated intro from the lyric book that came straight from Yen-j himself. Oh, and please note that I'm not so confident in my translation for the verses of "Lifesaver"....

03. Li Tang Na

Li Tang Na
李唐娜
By: Yen-j/嚴爵
Album: Not Alone

Translated intro from the lyric book:
"When I was 11, I fell in love with Charlie Parker's bebop jazz piece 'Donna Lee'.
Now that I'm 22 I want to share with the world, through comic dialogue and pop music, the 'Li Tang Na' that I love."
[**Translator's Note: Yen-j says that "Donna Lee" sounds like it could be the English name of a Chinese girl. "Li Tang Na" is what he imagines her Chinese name might be. The story in this song is what he imagines might have happened to her.]





在很久以前有一個女孩
zai hen jiu yi qian you yi ge nu hai
Long ago there was a girl

她的名字就叫做李李唐唐娜娜
ta de ming zi jiu jiao zuo Li Li Tang Tang Na Na
Her name was Li Li Tang Tang Na Na

大家都稱呼她為這世界最最美麗的女孩子
da jia dou cheng hu ta wei zhe shi jie zui zui mei li de nu hai zi
Everyone called her the world's most, most beautiful girl

你不會相信 直到你親眼看見她
ni bu hui xiang xin, zhi dao ni qin yan kan jian ta
You wouldn't believe it, until you saw her with your own eyes

大 大大的眼睛 還有一束黑黑亮亮的長頭髮
da, da da de yan jing, hai you yi shu hei hei liang liang de zhang tou fa
Big, big eyes; and a head of black black, bright bright long hair

人們看到都會有一陣莫名其妙的心動
ren men kan dou hui you yi zhen mo ming qi miao de xin dong
Whenever anyone saw her they'd be inexplicably moved

我該怎麼講？
wo gai zen me jiang?
How should I say it?

只要你遇見過她你絕對不可能對她沒有心動.
zhi yao ni yu jian guo ta ni jue dui bu ke neng dui ta mei you xin dong
So long as you've met her, there's no way you wouldn't be moved by her

--

有一天李唐娜出去她家隔壁鄰居就問她
you yi tian Li Tang Na chu qu ta jia ge bi lin ju jiu wen ta
One day when Li Tang Na left her house; her next-door neighbor asked her

"妳妳要要去哪？"
"ni ni yao yao qu na?"
Where where are are you going?"

她鄰居口吃是因為太老
ta lin ju kou chi shi yin wei tai lao
Her neighbor stuttered because she was old

李唐娜笑笑但沒有回答她
Li Tang Na xiao xiao dan mei you hui da ta
Li Tang Na smiled but didn't answer her

聽說那天晚上他沒回家
ting shuo na tian wan shang ta mei hui jia
I heard she didn't return that night

大家都非常擔心會不會是她出了事情
da jia dou fei chang dan xin hui bu hui shi ta chu le shi qing
Everyone was extremely worried that something might have happened to her

李爸和李媽在哭泣
Li ba he Li ma zai ku qi
Father and Mother Li wept

因為她從來就沒有出去一整天都不回家
yin wei ta cong lai jiu mei you chu qu yi zheng tian dou bu hui jia
Because she had never left home all day without returning

--

他親不到 她的香噴臉臉
ta qin bu dao, ta de xiang pen lian lian
They couldn't kiss her fragrant face

他聽不到 她的貼心念念
ta ting bu dao, ta de tie xin nian nian
They couldn't hear her intimate thoughts

碰不到 她的一絲一毫
peng bu dao, ta de yi si yi hao
Couldn't touch a trace of her

無精打采懶得像貓
wu jing da cai, lan de xiang mao
Listless, lazy like a cat

看不到 她的美他只能
kan bu dao, ta de mei ta zhi neng
Couldn't see her beauty, they could only

Count it down 還剩下幾天
Count it down, hai sheng xia ji tian
Count it down, how many days were left

直到她歸來 只求她歸來
zhi dao ta gui lai, zhi qiu ta gui lai
Until she'd return home; Just begged her to return

--

又過了五年三個月兩天
you guo le wu nian san ge yue yu tian
Five years & three months of rain passed

地點轉變到一個城市叫做紐約
di dian zhuan bian yi ge cheng shi jiao zuo Niu Yue
The setting transforms into a city called New York

在一個偏僻的小爵士俱樂部裡面
zai yi ge pian pi de xiao jue shi ju le bu li mian
In a remote little jazz club

可以隱隱約約聽到一陣陣華麗薩克斯風旋律
ke yi yin yin yue yue ting dao yi zhen zhen hua li sa ke si feng xuan lu
You could indistinctly hear a gorgeous saxophone melody

沙 沙沙的聲音
sha, sha sha de sheng yin
A hoarse, hoarse hoarse sound

就是一副令人陶醉的那態度人們聽到
jiu shi yi fu ling ren tao zui de na tai du ren men ting dao
It was infaturating; When people heard it

都會有一陣莫名其妙的心動
dou hui you yi zhen mo ming qi miao de xin dong
They would all be inexplicably moved

我該怎麼講？
wo gai zen me jiang?
How should I say it?

吹奏的他看著台下遺失多年的那個李唐娜
chui zou de ta kan zhe tai xia yi shi duo nian de na ge li tang na
On stage, the man playing saw Li Tang Na who had been lost for many years

--

依舊帶著她純白的笑容
yi jiu dai zhe ta chun bai de xiao rong
With the same pure smile as before

依舊帶著她那束黑亮的長頭髮
yi jiu dai zhe ta na shu hei liang de zhang tou fa
With the same black, bright long hair

從清純轉變到成熟的美但沒有秀出任何老的痕跡
cong qing chun zhuan bian dao cheng shou de mei dan mei you xiu chu ren he lao de hen ji
She had changed from a naiive beauty to a mature one, but she bore no signs of age

原來當年她離家出走為了出國
yuan lai dang nian ta li jia chu zou wei le chu guo
Turns out that she left home in order to leave the country that year

來到美國是為了嘗試新的生活 現在交到新男朋友
lai dao mei guo shi wei le chang shi xin de sheng huo, xian zai jiao dao xin nan peng you
She came here to America to attempt at a new life, and now had a new boyfriend

就是在台上吹這一首 "Donna Lee" 的 查理.帕克
jiu shi zai tai shang chui zhe yi shou "Donna Lee" de Cha Li Pa Ke
It was the one on stage playing "Donna Lee"...Charlie Parker

ta ting bu dao, ta de tie xin nian nian
They couldn't hear her intimate thoughts

Count it down, how many days were left

直到她歸來 只求她歸來
zhi dao ta gui lai, zhi qiu ta gui lai
Until she'd return home; Just begged her to return

--

李唐娜妳 人在哪裡？會不會寂寞？
Li Tang Na ni, ren zai na li? hui bu hui ji mo?
Li Tang Na, where are you? Will you be lonely?

李唐娜妳 若會寂寞 不要再漂泊
Li Tang Na ni, ruo hui ji mo, bu yao zai piao bo
Li Tang Na, if you're lonely, don't wander anymore

(…只求她歸來)
(zhi qiu ta gui lai)
(Just begs her to come home)

又過了九年突然有一天
you guo le jiu nian tu ran you yi tian
Another 9 years pass and suddenly one day

李爸和李媽看到一個可愛小孩
Li ba he Li ma kan dao yi ge ke ai xiao hai
Father & Mother Li saw a cute child

遺傳到她媽所有的全部除了她有淺咖啡色的肌膚
yi chuan dao ta ma suo you de quan bu chu le ta you qian ka fei se de ji fu
She had taken after her mother in everything, except she had light brown skin

站在門口另外有個人她一開口就感動人
zhan zai men kou ling wai you ge ren ta yi kai kou jiu gan dong ren
There was someone else at the door who touched people as soon as she spoke

"好久不見了老爸老媽" 話沒說完 大家落淚
"hao jiu bu jian le lao ba lao ma" hua mei shuo wan, da jia luo lei
"Long time no see Father, Mother." Before she finished, everyone was in tears

過了這麼久的歲月李唐娜她終於回到家
guo le zhe me jiu de sui yue, Li Tang Na ta zhong yu hui dao jia
After so many years, Li Tang Na had finally returned home

但我遺失了地圖
dan wo yi shi le di tu
But I've lost my map

誰給誰束縛 誰比誰辛苦
shei gei shei shu fu, shei bi shei xin ku
Who is holding who back? Who is more exhausted?

愛到深處才會領悟
ai dao shen chu cai hui ling wu
Only when you've loved so deeply do you understand

好的事情 最後雖然結束
hao de shi qing, zui hou sui ran jie shu
Even if good things come to an end

gan dong shi fen, jiu you shi fen man zu
Being completely touched is a complete satisfaction

謝謝你 是你陪我走過那些路
xie xie ni, shi ni pei wo zou guo na xie lu
Thank you, it was you with me on those paths

痛 是以後無法再給你幸福
tong, shi yi hou wu fa zai gei ni xing fu
Pain is not being able to give you happiness again

好的事情 也許能夠重複
hao de shi qing, ye xu neng gou chong fu
Good things maybe could repeat themselves

感動時分 就算紛紛模糊
gan dong shi fen, jiu suan fen fen mo hu
Even if those touching times gradually become faint

不要哭 至少你和我記得很清楚

05. Na Ni De Yi Zhi Li (Take Hold of Your Willpower)

Na Ni De Yi Zhi Li (Take Hold of Your Willpower)
拿你的意志力
By: Yen-j/嚴爵
Album: Not Alone

Translated intro from the lyric book:
"This song is about my values, expressed through a 9-year-old and an African American woman."





拿你的意志力去面對他人的批評
na ni de yi zhi li qu mian dui ta ren de pi ping
Take hold of your willpower to face the criticism of others

帶你的意志力 去做自己 嘿~
dai ni de yi zhi li, qu zuo zi ji
Take your willpower and be yourself

想做的事情 想說的字句
xiang zuo de shi qing, xiang shuo de zi ju
The things you want to do, the things you want to say

像我的詞曲
xiang wo de ci qu
Such as my song and lyrics

喔~想傷我？ 想晃我？
Oh, xiang shang wo? xiang huang wo?
Oh, want to hurt me? Want to sway me?

Not that easily

--

想傷我 沒那麼容易
xiang shang wo, mei na me rong yi
Want to hurt me? It's not that easy

能感動到你 是我的榮幸啊
neng gan dong dao ni, shi wo de rong xing
Making you feel touched is my honor

我的一生 話也就這麼幾句
wo de yi sheng, hua ye jiu zhe me ji ju
My whole life, this is what I've said

你願意聽 是我的福氣
ni yuan yi ting, shi wo de fu qi
If you're willing to listen, it's my fortune

Story從這裡開始繼續…
Story cong zhe li kai shi ji xu
The story starts and continues from here

我最怕叫了高級壽司 卻來不及吃
wo zui pa jiao liao gao ji shou si, que lai bu ji chi
I'm most afraid of calling for fancy sushi but being too late to eat it

這是個比喻 聽得懂
zhe shi ge bi yu, ting de dong
This is a metaphor, do you understand it?

跟你旁邊那位解釋
gen ni pang bian na wei jie shi
I'll give you the literal explanation

引來異樣的眼光時姑且先
yin lai yi yang de yan guang shi gu qie xian
Tentatively attracting strange looks at first

相信你我也能創造傳奇像五月天
xiang xin ni wo ye neng chuang zao chuan qi xiang wu yue tian
I believe you and I can also create a legend like Mayday's

--

（嚴爵你想太多）
(Yan Jue ni xiang tai duo)
(Yen-j, you think too much)

我的經紀人常對我說我想太多
wo de jing ji ren, chang dui wo shuo wo xiang tai duo
My broker always tells me I think too much

但是太多人想太少這話不算講太過
dan shi tai duo ren xiang tai shao zhe hua bu suan jiang tai guo
But too many people think too little; Saying this shouldn't be too much

當我說出這句話時你是不是搶拍手
dang wo shuo zhe zhe ju hua shi ni shi bu shi qiang pai shou
When I say this sentence do you rush to applaud?

因為我們同樣無奈 只是我第一個張開口
yin wei wo men tong yang wu nai, zhi shi wo di yi ge zhang kai kou
Because we're both frustrated, it's just that I was first to speak

--

拿你的意志力去面對他人的批評
na ni de yi zhi li qu mian dui ta ren de pi ping
Take hold of your willpower to face the criticism of others

帶你的意志力 去做自己 嘿~
dai ni de yi zhi li, qu zuo zi ji
Take your willpower and be yourself

想做的事情 想說的字句
xiang zuo de shi qing, xiang shuo de zi ju
The things you want to do, the things you want to say

像我的詞曲
xiang wo de ci qu
Such as my song and lyrics

喔~想傷我？ 想晃我？
Oh, xiang shang wo? xiang huang wo?
Oh, want to hurt me? Want to sway me?

Not that easily

--

不需要是天才 才算得出來
bu xu yao shi tian cai, cai suan de chu lai,
You don't have to be a genius to guess it

來頭不小的人 才不等於一個”人才”
lai tou bu xiao de ren, cai bu deng yu yi ge "ren cai"
Plenty of backing does not make "talent"

但我們不去計較這些小菜 因為我們可以做"地才"
dan wo men bu qu ji jiao zhe xie xiao cai yin wei wo men ke yi zuo "di cai"
But let's not fight over these small things, because we can take steps

只要比別人努力 就不怕自己沒有能力
zhi yao bi bie ren nu li, jiu bu pa zi ji mei you neng li
So long as you work harder than others, you needn't worry about having what it takes

追尋偉大一點的夢 讓他人開心
zhui xun wei da yi dian de meng, rang ta ren kai xin
Chase bigger dreams, make them all happy

甚至撫平他人的痛 又不是什麼革命呀
shen zhi fu ping ta ren de tong, you bu shi shen me ge ming ya
So much that you heal their pain; It's not some revolution

我所知的革命情感是 跟媽媽
wo suo zhi de ge ming qing gan shi, gen ma ma
All the feelings of revolution I know is with my Mom

--

奇蹟就在我們身旁圍繞 只是看你看不看得到
qi ji jiu zai wo men shen pang wei rao, zhi shi kan ni kan bu kan de dao
Miracles are revolving around us, it's just whether you can see it

只是看你看到後要不要
zhi shi kan ni kan dao hou yao bu yao
It's just when you see it, will you want it

只是看你追尋時候意志力高不高
zhi shi kan ni zhui xun shi hou yi zhi li gao bu gao
It's just when you're going for it, will your willpower be strong enough

因為“看到”跟“得到”之間的艱苦是要
yin wei "kan dao" gen "de dao" zhi jian de jian ku shi yao
Because the difficult difference between "see" and "achieve" is to:

--

拿你的意志力去面對他人的批評
na ni de yi zhi li qu mian dui ta ren de pi ping
Take hold of your willpower to face the criticism of others

帶你的意志力 去做自己 嘿~
dai ni de yi zhi li, qu zuo zi ji
Take your willpower and be yourself

想做的事情 想說的字句
xiang zuo de shi qing, xiang shuo de zi ju
The things you want to do, the things you want to say

像我的詞曲
xiang wo de ci qu
Such as my song and lyrics

喔~想傷我？ 想晃我？
Oh, xiang shang wo? xiang huang wo?
Oh, want to hurt me? Want to sway me?

Not that easily

06. You Bu Shi Zhe Yang Jiu Bu Gu Du (It's Not Like It Isn't Lonely This Way)

You Bu Shi Zhe Yang Jiu Bu Gu Du (It's Not Like It Isn't Lonely This Way)
[or "If It Weren't This Way, I Wouldn't Be Lonely"]
又不是這樣就不孤獨
By: Yen-j/嚴爵
Album: Not Alone

Translated intro from the lyric book:
"This is the first time I've sung a song for which I haven't been involved in writing the lyrics. A sad, British style ballad song where I shout out the loneliness of love."





愛那麼多 傷害更多
ai na me duo, shang hai geng duo
However much you love, the hurt is greater

做那麼多 寂寞更多
zuo na me duo, ji mo geng duo
However much you do, loneliness is greater

我以為你就是結果 以為溫柔就不痛
wo yi wei ni jiu shi jie guo, yi wei wen rou jiu bu tong
I thought you were the result, thought sweetness wouldn't hurt

但 我 錯了
dan wo, cuo le
But I was wrong

-

話都說了 心也縮了
hua dou shuo le, xin ye suo le
It's all been said, and my heart is locked

靈魂掏了 夢也塌了
ling hun tao le, meng ye ta le
My spirit is emptied, my dreams collapsed

如果不能讓你懂得 不能讓你快樂
ru guo bu neng rang ni dong de, bu neng rang ni kuai le
If I can't make you understand, can't make you happy

那麼我 放了
na me wo, fang le
Then I'll let go

-

我還給你 自由
wo huan gei ni, zi you
I give you back your freedom

趁我現在還能夠 感同身 受
chen wo xian zai hai neng gou, gan tong shen shou
Now, while I can still sympathize

誰讓 最愛你的人是我
shei rang, zui ai ni de ren shi wo
Who made me the one who loved you most?

--

有愛又有什麼用處
you ai you you shen me yong chu
What's the use of having love?

又不是這樣就不孤獨
you bu shi zhe yang jiu bu gu du
If it weren't like this, I wouldn't be alone

還是那麼輸
hai shi na me shu
Or so defeated

又在你的世界荒蕪
you zai ni de shi jie huang wu
Desolate in your world again

留下來也沒有前途
liu xia lai ye mei you qian tu
There's no future even if we stay

不如 我們曾 那麼 幸福
bu ru, wo men ceng, na me, xing fu
Not like the happiness we once had

--

我在沉默 你在沉重
wo zai chen mo, ni zai chen zhong
I'm silent, you're somber

我在失落 你在失重
wo zai shi luo, ni zai shi zhong
I'm lost, you're weightless

我們不再習慣遷就 現在喜歡追究
wo men bu zai xi guan qian jiu, xian zai xi huan zhui jiu
We're no longer used to compromising, now we like to investigate

最後我 懂了
zui hou wo, dong le
Finally I understand

-

我還給你 自由
wo huan gei ni, zi you
I give you back your freedom

趁我現在還能夠 感同身 受

誰讓 最愛你的人是我
shei rang, zui ai ni de ren shi wo
Who made me the one who loved you most?

you ai you you shen me yong chu
What's the use of having love?

又不是這樣就不孤獨
you bu shi zhe yang jiu bu gu du
If it weren't like this, I wouldn't be alone

還是那麼輸
hai shi na me shu
Or so defeated

留下來有什麼幫助
liu xia lai you shen me bang zhu
What help would it be if we stayed?

又不是這樣就不 孤獨
you bu shi zhe yang jiu bu gu du
If it weren't like this, I wouldn't be alone

我們曾 那麼 幸福
wo men ceng, na me, xing fu
We were once so happy

--

淚在回憶掙扎 淚為遺憾蒸發
lei zai hui yi zheng zha, lei wei yi han zheng fa
Tears struggle in memories, tears evaporate for regret

我許下的天堂 你不要的天堂
wo xu xia de tian tang, ni bu yao de tian tang
The heaven I promised, the heaven you don't want

我～我無法承受 你紅了眼眶
wo~ wo wu fa cheng shou, ni hong le yan kuang
I... I can't bear your reddened eyes

--

有愛又有什麼用處
you ai you you shen me yong chu
What's the use of having love?

又不是這樣就不孤獨

試著形容最詞窮

--

怎麼你從來不唱歌給我聽
zen me ni cong lai bu chang ge gei wo ting
Why do you never sing for me?

怎麼你總是好安靜

But what is liking? (No...what is love?)

當我愛的人已經不在

When the one I love is already gone?

愛上了她 是兩年前的事

I fell in love with her two years ago

記者們聽 我說一個故事

我的愛情歷史 其實非常地坦然
wo de ai qing li shi, qi shi fei chang di tan ran
My love history is actually rather straightforward

我只愛過一個 然後分手了
wo zhi ai guo yi ge, ran hou fen shou le
I only loved one person, and then broke up

[這就是明星的愛 明星的愛 愛~~
[zhe jiu shi ming xing di ai, ming xing di ai, ai...

寂寞之時 愛上粉絲 戀過同事

Zhen De (It's True)
真的
By: Yen-j/嚴爵
Album: Not Alone

Translated intro from the lyric book:
"My friends...this song is written for you. This isn't a saying. It's true."





我曾經說過我相信
wo ceng jing shuo guo wo xiang xin
I once said that I believe

人生最大的意義是分運
ren sheng zui da de yi yi shi fen yun
Life's greatest meaning is to spread fortune

過程比結果重要
guo cheng bi jie guo zhong yao
The process is more important than the result

但目前的結果我都很滿意
dan mu qian de jie guo wo dou hen man yi
But I'm rather satisfied with my current result

太滿意 不禁懷疑是不是你們
tai man yi, bu jin huai yi shi bu shi ni men
I'm so satisfied I can't help but suspect you all

怕傷了我的心
pa shang le wo de xin
are afraid to hurt my heart

其實 是不是 我還沒睡醒？
qi shi, shi bu shi, wo hai mei shui xing?
Actually, could it be I haven't woken up?

--

等一下 我的天啊 這是不是真的？
deng yi xia, wo de tian, zhe shi bu shi zhen de?
Wait a minute, my goodness, is this real?

感覺好像在作夢
gan jue hao xiang zai zuo meng
I feel like I'm dreaming

捏一下 我的臉啊 這是不是真的 ？
nie yi xia, wo de lian, zhe shi bu shi zhen de?
Someone pinch my face, is this real?

這夢會不會太久了？
zhe meng hui bu hui tai jiu le?
Isn't this dream too long?

是真的真的真的真的 真的真的真的真的真的 是真的
Shi zhen de zhen de zhen de...
It's true, it's true, it's true...

所以告訴我如何去分運
suo yi gao su wo ru he qu fen yun
So tell me how to spread fortune

在我的能力範圍裡
zai wo de neng li fan wei li
In the circle of my ability

凡醒過都知道自己
fan xing guo dou zhi dao zi ji
I wake up and know I

曾經睡得很好但沒反省
ceng jing shui de hen hao dan mei fan xing
slept very well but I don't reflect on it

太幸運 不禁懷疑是不是你們
tai xing yun, bu jin huai yi shi bu shi ni men
I'm just too lucky, I can't help but suspect you all

怕碎了我的心
pa sui le wo de xin
Are afraid to break my heart

其實 是不是 我還沒睡醒？
qi shi, shi bu shi, wo hai mei shui xing?
Actually, could it be I haven't woken up?

**Translator's Note:
It's a pun. "True" sounds like "steamed", and "false" sounds like "fried". He's right, it's not funny. X3

12. Ge Bi Da Lou (The Building Next Door)

Ge Bi Da Lou (The Building Next Door)
隔壁大樓
By: Yen-j/嚴爵
Album: Not Alone

Translated intro from the lyric book:
" 'The world doesn't revolve around me, and I won't get upset because of the world.' I hope that when you all are facing frustration in life, you can find some liberation in this song."
[**Translator's Note: This song doesn't make much sense to me. And I'm not sure it's all because my translation is off, though I think it is at some parts.]





隔壁大樓它還在蓋
ge bi da lou ta hai zai gai
The building next door is still being constructed

因為外面太陽太曬
yin wei wai mian tai yang tai shai
Because the sun outside is too bright

蕭爸蕭媽還在賣菜
xiao ba xiao ma hai zai mai cai
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao are still out buying vegetables

不管周末或禮拜三
bu guan zhou mo huo li bai san
Whether it's the weekend or a Wednesday

世界不會因我而轉
shi jie bu hui yin wo er zhuan
The world doesn't revolve around me

我也不因世界而煩
wo ye bu yin shi jie er fan
And I won't get upset because of the world

我宅在家 大聲地放我的嘻哈
wo zhai zai jia, da sheng di fang wo de xi ha

穿上Garnett 球衣五號

Wearing Garnett's number 5 jersey

戴上綠帽 (...管它)

鏡框起霧 是冷氣房吃泡麵

室內15度 對北極熊真抱歉
shi nei 15 du, dui bei ji xiong zhen bao qian
A capacity of 15 people, I apologize to the polar bear

我的失誤 是我的食物
wo de shi wu, shi wo de shi wu
My mistake, was my food

吃我的食物 消化後進步
chi wo de shi wu, xiao hua hou jin bu
I eat my food, take a step after digesting

消化後進步進步

take a step, a step

消化後進步進步進步

01. Zhui Xun (Pursuit)

Zhui Xun (Pursuit)
追尋
By: Yen-j/嚴爵
Album: Thanks Your Greatness

Translated intro from the lyric book:
"When I first left school to chase my own dream, I turned my feelings of wanting to pursue freedom into a song to express what I felt at the time. It's a song full of hopes and visions for the future. Combining strings and jazzy piano, with a rhythm like a train, I sing to myself the words that I also want everyone else to hear."



只是 大家跟我說 大家都勸我說
zhi shi, da jia gen wo shuo, da jia dou quan wo shuo
It's just that, everyone's told me; everyone's advised me

千萬不要這麼做 怕我之後承擔不起後果
qian wan bu yao zhe me zuo, pa wo zhi hou cheng dan bu qi hou guo
That I absolutely shouldn't do this, for fear I can't afford the consequences

@4$^!@#$%^& 我 我都聽不懂
@4$^!@#$%^&... wo, wo dou ting bu dong
blah blah blah blah... I don't hear any of it

運氣都差不多 我們 那麼多那麼多後果
yun qi dou cha bu duo, wo men na me duo na me duo hou guo
I've more or less had some luck; We had so many, so many consequences

一切的結果不是我們可以掌握
yi qie de jie guo bu shi wo men ke yi zhang wo
We couldn't grasp all the outcomes

但若你洽我 我暫時不在家喔
dan ruo ni qia wo, wo zan shi bu zai jia, oh
But if you're trying to contact me, I'm not at home at the moment



因為我追尋自由
yin wei wo zhui xun zi you
Because I'm pursuing freedom

追尋自我 就是追尋自己
zhui xun zi wo, jiu shi zhui xun zi ji
Pursuing myself; I'm pursuing my own

追尋知己的朋友
zhui xun zhi ji de peng you
Pursuing close friends

追尋之後 之後 的日子 的日子怎麼過
zhui xun zhi hou, zhi hou, d'er zi, d'er zi, zen me guo
Pursuing what those days afterward will be like

追尋樂活
zhui xun le huo
Pursuing life



Woh...

誰說愛情 事業 家庭不行滿分 因為會牽涉
shei shuo ai qing, shi ye, jia ting bu xing man fen, yin wei hui qian se
Who said love, a career, a family can't get 100%, because they'll mix

我說魚與熊掌與獵人能夠同時兼得
wo shuo yu yu xiong zhang yu lie ren neng gou tong shi jian de
I say the fish and the bear and the hunter can all be had at the same time**[See note below]

魚可以煎的 熊掌要用燉的
yu ke yi jian de, xiong zhang yao yong dun de,
The fish can be pan fried, the bear paw stewed,

獵人若是女的很可愛就用來愛的
lie ren ruo shi nu de hen ke ai jiu yong lai ai de
And if the hunter's a cute girl, she can be loved

流浪這麼久都沒有發現我這麼多這麼優的朋友
liu lang zhe me jiu dou mei you fa xian wo zhe me duo, zhe me you de peng you
Having wandered so long, I never realized I had so many, such excellent friends

家人都這麼夠意思 我怎麼說臉不羞
jia ren dou zhe me gou yi si, wo zen me shuo lian bu xiu
My family means so much to me; I'm not ashamed to admit it

因為我之前都沒感受
yin wei wo zhi qian dou mei gan shou
Because before I'd never felt it

我好快樂 在此刻
wo hao kuai le, zai ci ke
I'm so happy at this moment



多年後的我找 不找得到我要的 還是早就得到
duo nian hou de wo zhao, bu zhao de dao wo yao de, hai shi zao jiu de dao
Years after this pursuit, whether I don't find what I want or if I'll have gotten it long before

到那時候 才知道過程比結果重要
dao na shi hou, cai zhi dao guo cheng bi jie guo zhong yao
At that time, I'll have realized that the process is more important than the result

因為不知道 因為沒領悟到
yin wei bu zhi dao, yin wei mei ling wu dao
Because I don't know; Because I haven't comprehended it



所以我追尋自由
suo yi wo zhui xun zi you
So I'm pursuing freedom

追尋自我 就是追尋自己
zhui xun zi wo, jiu shi zhui xun zi ji
Pursuing myself; I'm pursuing my own

追尋知己的朋友
zhui xun zhi ji de peng you
Pursuing close friends

追尋之後 之後 的日子 的日子怎麼過
zhui xun zhi hou, zhi hou, d'er zi, d'er zi, zen me guo
Pursuing what those days afterward will be like



追尋自由
zhui xun zi you
Pursuing freedom

追尋自我 就是追尋自己
zhui xun zi wo, jiu shi zhui xun zi ji
Pursuing myself; I'm pursuing my own

追尋知己的朋友
zhui xun zhi ji de peng you
Pursuing close friends

追尋之後 之後 的日子 的日子怎麼過
zhui xun zhi hou, zhi hou, d'er zi, d'er zi, zen me guo
Pursuing what those days afterward will be like

追尋樂活
zhui xun le huo
Pursuing life



**Translator's Note:
This is an allusion to the story about (obviously) a bear, a fish, and a hunter. There are different versions of the story, but it seems to be that a hunter happens upon the bear and fish but can't catch them both and has to choose between the two. The moral is that there are some things in life that you have to choose between--you can have one but not the other. Here, Yen-j seems to be saying that if you work it out right, you can have both the fish and the bear.....and even the hunter!
