Withered Flower (花事了)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

While there's still a smile on my face

I'll let residual emotions linger in my heart

The world is big, life is long

It shouldn't be shared only with you

Let me thank you for giving me unfulfilled happiness

Receber to forget

There's nothing wrong with leaving you temporarily

The music is happy

You tell me to be lonely

How can it match this music?

It's because I want to sleep, I can't tolerate any disturbances

Time is more important than you are

It's because I've settled down

I'm weary of being harassed by happiness

It's because I've become sensible, I'm completely ignorant

I can't even recognize you

If I were to say "flowering season's over", how much do you know of happiness?

Would you understand?

Yes, I’m going home

I must hurry home

Where a life goes on

So, I’m going home

Going home alone

And your life goes on

In the Name of Love (假愛之名)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

My life's accomplishments are accorded my lover

I vented my body temperature, distorted my conscience

Happy consolation comes from disappointment and regret, enemies lies in ambush everywhere

I treat you with yesterday's naivety, yet I bravely sacrificed myself early-on

To perish in this manner (Is preferable to lonely entry into monkshood)

At first I only wished to take a stroll (Yet I stepped onto a long road of blood)

My life of pride did not pass in vain (I gave my faithful body)

(So that the bald eagle could surmount natural order and transform into immortal feculence)

Even if I sacrifice my life for love, I will think of myself as a brave soldier

I'm willing to sacrifice my life for love, a pious and selfish accomplishment

Obstinacy is no crime, the army is at war for good reason

The intimacy of opium, galloping in the crossfire of war

Kiss to perpetuate the revolution, hold hands and forsake inherent nature

Leave wronged love for the epitaph, attempt to gain final tragic victory

To perish in this manner (Is preferable to lonely entry into monkshood)

At first I only wished to take a stroll (Yet I stepped onto a long road of blood)

My life of pride did not pass in vain (I gave my faithful body)

(So that the bald eagle could surmount natural order and transform into immortal feculence)

Even if I sacrifice my life for love, I will think of myself as a brave soldier

I'm willing to sacrifice my life for love, a pious and selfish accomplishment

Even if I sacrifice my life for love, I will think of myself as a brave soldier

I'm willing to sacrifice my life for love, a pious and selfish accomplishment

I'm willing to sacrifice my life for love, unrepentant self-respect, tearless self-abuse

MV

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

An empty house with only one sofa

She seems to want to cry

She thinks of unhappy events from the past

So that the tears will flow without resistance

These are several bouquets of flowers, she'll change her dress

The song is gonna end, it will continue tonight

She drapes a black shawl at the beach

And performs a frozen love song

The shawl rises into the sky and black dogs fly out, it's so sad and beautiful

The special effects make illusions cry

The song will end, on the screen

Who is doing what? What is being played?

The love song gives special effects in return

The love song is like reincarnation of innumerable sparks

Continue to persevere

This song is about returning home

So she needs to exaggerate her contentment

She's so happy she wants to cry and cries right away

Selling romantic happiness like magic

The song ends again, on the screen

Who is doing what? What does one care about?

Why has the love song degenerated into a love song?

What, why do you listen to songs with me in the middle of the night?

Perhaps you're listening to it's conclusion

What, what bothers you?

If you wish to speak about future uncertainty

The love song I only see clearly when separation is imminent

[shirleymydear]

Smoke (煙)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

There's a kinda of tantalizing smell

I can't help but light you up

It sends nearby people running, it's not good for me

I know, I know, I can't kick the habit

Can't kick the habit, flowery sentiments

I can't escape the addiction, can't kick the habit

Foggy contours, my dreams have been turned upside down

I can smell it in my dreams, I can still see it's shadows

You satisfy the momentary idleness between my fingers

You've become the support on which my beating pulse relies

When I kiss you I forget my worries, you've become my worry

I never thought, never thought, that I'd unable to kick the habit

Can't kick the habit, I don't need to kiss you

Yet what could be more important?

Can't kick the habit, I was so proud of myself

Now I'm irritable when I'm not holding you

Can't kick the habit, if only my sense of taste could be extinguished

Yet I cannot bear to do this

I could put you down and pretend to smile while picking a flower

The problem lies in Whoa Whoa

How to calm my heartbeat, calm my heartbeat

How to calm my heartbeat, calm my heartbeat

[shirleymydear]

Concealed Night (夜妝)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

The wind has blown the moonlight aquiver, I put on heavy makeup in the early evening

And paint my lips bright red without regard to when my hair will turn to frost

I am crazy in my own way, ruins have become my heaven

I've been to and for several times, I don't care if it's miles away

Who will contemplate past events? Smiling while tears stream down

In the blink of an eye, two hearts are at separate ends of the universe

I'll hold vigil by the window, you made a mistake

I fell in love, all these flights of fancy 

Hoo... Desire, It's hard to fend off one instance of wounded love

Hoo... I want to do as I wish then I'll be all right

I have a thorough understanding, place little importance on trepidations of the mortal world Hoo

The wind has blown the moonlight aquiver, I put on heavy makeup in the early evening

And paint my lips bright red without regard to when my hair will turn to frost

I am crazy in my own way, ruins have become my heaven

I've been to and for several times, I don't care if it's miles away

Oh... Desire, It's hard to fend off one instance of wounded love

Hoo... I want to do as I wish then I'll be all right

I have a thorough understanding, place little importance on trepidations of the mortal world Hoo...hoo...ah...

April Snow (四月雪)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

When snow falls suddenly from an April sky

One will think of religious faith

When one's personal past has suddenly lost importance

One will possess great fortitude

Putting facial expressions aside, will actually expand one's inner heart

The mortal world begins to look bleak, only then does God begin to sing Ah

Ah... what right do we have to speak of misery?

Ah... for whom do we fear? for whom do we toil?

Because the entire world has been sullied

One can find the most beautiful wish

Because daybreak remains unseen for the moment

One can see one's most earnest dreams

Desire has become absurd and value seems preposterous

The mortal world begins to go mad, only then does God begin to sing Ah

Ah... what right do we have to speak of misery?

Ah... for whom do we fear?

There will finally be a day, when we return to the playground

There will finally be a day, when we see sunlight again

What right do we have to speak of misery?

Ah... for whom do we fear? for whom do we toil?

[shirleymydear]

Carousel (旋木)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

Hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...

Possessing a magnificent appearance and luminous lighting

I am so carousel being here in this heaven

Only to satisfy children's dreams

Climbing onto my back so that I may take you glinding

I forgot the sorrow in which I can only gallop on the spot

Too forgot that I am forever I chains

No matter how long I would be able to stay with you

At least I can let you imagine gliding with me

The galloping wooden horse allowing you to forget your sorrow

In this heaven that provides laughter 

Seeing their eyes filled with amazement

There is no need to think about me

The spinning wooden horse having no wings

Yet capable of taking you gliding everywhere

As the music stops you will be leaving

This is all I can do

Hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...

I forgot the sorrow in which I can only gallop on the spot

Too forgot that I am forever I chains

No matter how long I would be able to stay with you

At least I can let you imagine gliding with me

The galloping wooden horse allowing you to forget your sorrow

In this heaven that provides laughter

Seeing their eyes filled with amazement

There is no need to think about me

The spinning wooden horse having no wings

Yet capable of taking you gliding everywhere

As the music stops you will be leaving

This is all I can do

The galloping wooden horse allowing you to forget your sorrow

In this heaven that provides laughter

Seeing their eyes filled with amazement

There is no need to think about me

The spinning wooden horse having no wings

Yet capable of taking you gliding everywhere

As the music stops you will be leaving

This is all I can do

Hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...

Hoo...hoo...hoo...hoo...

Precious Sunshine (陽寶)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

Sunshine dearest, my sunflower

Only blossoming under the sunshine, carrying elegance amidst passion

I said the sunshine would go away, you said there would be no regrets

The sunshine disappeared as usual

You withered just like how I had imagined

I was wrong, wishing you comfort from the moon

You said you not wanted this kind of splendor

Sunshine dearest, my sunflower

Only blossoming under the sunshine, carrying elegance amidst passion

I said the sunshine would go away, you said there would be no regrets

The sunshine disappeared as usual

You withered just like how I had imagined

I was wrong, wishing you comfort from the moon

You said you not wanted this kind of splendor

I was wrong, wishing you comfort from the moon

You said you not wanted this kind of splendor Eh

Oh sunshine dearest

Be not upset at my not understanding, don't protest to me

Despite how I wish I were the sun

I am but another sunflower Hey

(I was wrong, wishing you comfort from the moon)

(You said you not wanted this kind of splendor)

Despite how I wish I were the sun

I am but another sunflower Hey

Dearest under the sunshine is exceptionally radiant

It's smile under the sunshine is slightly fatigued

Passenger (乘客)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

The highway bridge had passed

There are many more blocks to go

This was a smooth road

We arrived in no time

Sitting in the car you drive listening to the songs you listen to

We are happy indeed

The first streetlight has lit

What are you thinking?

The tune is happy indeed

That singer has married

Sitting in the car you drive listening to the songs you listen to

I am not unhappy

The white clouds of a pale white

The blue sky of a grayish blue

My home is almost there

I am this car's first passenger

I am not unhappy

The sky of blood red, the stars of a grayish silver

Where is your lover?

Yes, I’m going home

I must hurry home

Where a life goes on

So, I’m going home

Going home alone

And your life goes on

[shirleymydear]

Beautiful Mistake (美錯)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

Originally planned to swear by the ocean with him

Yet mistakenly arrived to a swimming pool

Eyes filled with ocean-blue beauty

That is where you and I began

The blue ripples laid forth a path of memories

You gave me a meteoroid rarely descending from above

I continue to mistake it for a perfect diamond

Never once seeing it's defect

Mounting it onto my ring

I didn't even realize, what was there I had lost

Allow me to have sensibility get the better of me, leaving sense to no avail

At least then I would have a had a moment of happiness

Who cares if you are real or fake

Or whoever is my destination

The ability of self-righteousness is nevertheless a blessing

It always happens either too early or too late

A beautiful mistake often comes so close to the truth

Although sometimes I wake up from dreams, and sometimes I don't hold out

The greatest happiness in life is nothing more than this

The so-called dream life means precisely this

Allow me to have sensibility get the better of me, leaving sense to no avail

At least then I would have a had a moment of happiness

Who cares if you are real or fake

Or whoever is my destination

The ability of self-righteousness is nevertheless a blessing

It always happens either too early or too late

A beautiful mistake often comes so close to the truth

Although sometimes I wake up from dreams, and sometimes I don't hold out

The greatest happiness in life is nothing more than this

The so-called dream life means precisely this

The so-called fate means this

Leave Nothing (不留)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

Giving you my essence, him my days

Giving you my smiles, him my mercy

Giving you my thoughts, him my time

Giving you tears

Giving you the photos, him the calendar

Giving you the colors, him the landscapes

Giving you the distance, him the speechlessness

Giving you the fireworks, him the celebration

Giving you the movie ticket, him the seat

Giving you the candlelight, him the dinner

Requesting the song for you, handing him the microphone

You the sounds, him the images

Giving you the plot, him the ending

Giving you glass slippers, him the clock striking twelve

Giving you my heart, him my body

Rather be leaving nothing

No longer holding any worries

If I still may have sorrow, let the wind blow it asunder

If I still may have happiness (If I still may have happiness)

Giving you my essence, him my days

Giving you my smiles, him my mercy

Giving you my thoughts, him my time

Giving you tears, (him my obligations)

Giving you the fireworks, him the celebration

Giving you the movie ticket, him the seat

Giving you the candlelight, him the dinner

Requesting the song for you, handing him the microphone

Giving you my heart, him my body

Rather be leaving nothing

No longer holding any worries

If I still may have sorrow, let the wind blow it asunder

If I still may have happiness (If I still may have happiness, If I still may have happiness)

If I still may have sorrow, let the wind blow it asunder

If I still may have happiness, maybe

Empty City (空城)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

Living within the same celestial body, having learned to plant love with one's eyes

Love is a piece of mirror, whoever lives on the other end

I shall seek you, faced an opponent

Mastered a counterstrike, using the strength of a drop of my tears

Whomever invented drawers, locking hearts up to be cherished

Thinking love as a staircase, following it's way

I only picked up glass slippers

Complicated patterns, it's only byproduct is being misery

I don't want an empty city of love, please grant me your innocence

I don't want a love palm, making unnecessary sacrifices for it

I don't want an empty city of love, erasing the company of shooting stars

At the degree of aging parameters, only reading your face

Living within the same celestial body, having learned to plant love with one's eyes

Love is a piece of mirror, whoever lives on the other end

I shall seek you, faced an opponent

Mastered a counterstrike, using the strength of a drop of my tears

I don't want an empty city of love, please grant me your innocence

I don't want a love palm, making unnecessary sacrifices for it

I don't want an empty city of love, erasing the company of shooting stars

At the degree of aging parameters, only reading your face

I don't want an empty city of love, please grant me your innocence

I don't want a love palm, making unnecessary sacrifices for it

To Love (將愛)

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

Windy, fiery, vehemently

Our love resembles a battle

We have shed no blood, yet we already have sacrificed

Concealed a dying heartbeat, buried a life of glory

Vultures over a desolate field (Spinning in search of remains)

Pixies in the night skies (Watching the spirits' shadows)

A sudden ringing (Spearing through a dead silence)

(To hail this honor) or to tease this sanctity

Let love proceed till the end, gore lies not in right or wrong

Let love proceed till the end, gore lies not in right or wrong

Windy, fiery, vehemently

Our love resembles a battle

We have shed no blood, yet we already have sacrificed

Concealed a dying heartbeat, buried a life of glory

Vultures over a desolate field (Spinning in search of remains)

Pixies in the night skies (Watching the spirits' shadows)

A sudden ringing (Spearing through a dead silence)

(To hail this honor) or to tease this sanctity

(Let love proceed till the end, selflessness is cruelty reincarnated)

(Let love proceed till the end, gore lies not in right or wrong)

Let love proceed till the end, selflessness is cruelty reincarnated

Let love proceed till the end, gore lies not in right or wrong

Let love proceed till the end, selflessness is cruelty reincarnated

Let love proceed till the end, gore lies not in right or wrong

Let love proceed til the end, gentleness remains, lonesomeness perpetuates

Separate Ways

English translation:

{the translations may not be accurate! pls any information contact me!}

Ah, how many white doors should I open?

My dreams comes true

Do you know the answer

How many long night do you wait?

I can understand you

Why do I love you, so much I love you

Shaking under the blue stars

My heart is lonely tonight

Fly away, up and away

The moonlight is dazzling

I need if you feel the kindness of love my way

Hoo by the day I see you

Shining like the moon

Why are you sad?

I'm sure you're looking at the same sky

More I feel for you, lost in you eyes

I won't run away alone at night

I believe in myself for life

Fly away, long away

When you are lonely, moonlight

I need the kindness of love if I touch it close to you

Hoo I love you so much

Shining like the moon

I want to be, wanna be your star

I want to be your moon, hoo

Fly away, up and away

The moonlight is dazzling

I need if you feel the kindness of love my way

Hoo by the day I see you Hoo

Shining like the moon

Fly away or no way

I have to be honest, separate ways

I need the kindness of love if I touch it close to you

Hoo I'll pour my dear light

Only my way now

How many white doors should I open?

My dreams comes true
