蓮花空行身染愛(Liân-hue Khong-hīng sin jiám ài)
Lotus Dakini Dyed in Love by Collage
又閣是彼个 無代無誌想著的形影
iū-koh sī hit ê, bô-tài-bô-tsì siūnn tio̍h ê hîng-iánn
There it is again, that figure I remembered out of the blue
親像一陣風 吹落來 是春風少年
tshin-tshiūnn tsi̍t tsūn-hong, tshue loh lâi, sī tshun hong siáu-liân
It came over me like a passing breeze - that unfettered youth
坐嘛是思念 坐袂牢 真無聊的思念
tsē mà-sī su-liām, tsē bē tiâu, tsin bô-liâu ê su-liām
I sit here and reminisce, but it doesn’t linger - such a restless thought
倒咧眠床頂 予月娘 笑規个暗暝
tó leh bîn-tshn̂g tíng, hōo gue̍h-niû tshiò kui-ê àm-mî
Laying on the bed, making the moon laugh until late into the night
我行過你的世界
guá kiânn-kuè lí ê sè-kài
I’ve moved past your world
啥物我攏無愛
siánn-mih guá lóng bô ài
And I don’t want anything
只想欲佇你心內(寫一條歌)
tsí siūnn beh tī lí sim-lāi(siá tsi̍t tiâu kua)
only your heart (to write a song)
車行過 *𪜶的期待
tshia kiânn-kuè in ê kî-thāi
Cars passed by your expectations
這站閣無落來
tsit tsām koh bô loh-lâi
And didn’t stop at this station
無想欲對誰交代(心內驚驚)
bô siūnn beh tuì siáng kau-tài(sim-lāi kiann-kiann)
Without offering an explanation (hearts unsteady)
想起我彼暗小可仔歹勢
siūnn-khí guá hit-àm sió-khuá-á pháinn-sè
I realize I feel sorry about that night
予你揣著我
hōo lí tshuē-tio̍h guá
I made you realize that I
規身軀藏無好勢的委屈
kui-sing-khu tshàng bô hó-sè ê uí-khut
Can’t properly hide my misgivings
風 中的飛龍咧吼
hong-tiong ê pue-liông leh háu
The dragon amidst the clouds is roaring
聲 聲予天搖地動
siann-siann hōo thinn-iô tē-tāng
Causing the earth to shake
愛你的傳說寫佇頂懸
ài lí ê thuân-suat siá tī tíng-kuân
The legend of our love is written in the sky
感情紲來愈飛愈懸
kám-tsîng sua-lâi lú-pue lú-kuân
Feelings also grow the higher it flies
花 開佇你蹛的樓
hue khui-tī lí tuà ê lâu
Flowers bloom at your doorstep
想 當時欲綴你走
siūnn tong-sî beh tuè lí tsáu
Almost as if they intend to go with you
多情的雨崁著目睭
to-tsîng ê hōo kham tio̍h ba̍k-tsiu
The passionate rain conceals your eyes
你的代誌講袂清楚
lí ê tài tsì kóng bē tshing-tshó
Your affairs are can’t be told clearly*
看你行過千山萬水
khuànn lí kiânn-kuè tshian-san-bān-suí
Watching you traverse a thousand mountains and ten thousand waters
手內薔薇微微仔芳
tshiú-lāi tshiông-bî bî-bî-á phang
The rose at hand lightly fragrant
行踏輕鬆跤步的我 (恬恬佇遮攏無出聲)
kiânn ta̍h khin-sang kha-pōo ê guá (tiām tiām tī tsia lóng bô tshut-siann)
And I light on my feet (am here quietly, without a sound)
日子過一工閣一工
ji̍t-tsí kuè tsi̍t-kang koh tsi̍t-kang
Days pass, one after another
你的一切攏猶未放
lí ê it tshè lóng iá-buē pàng
And you still have not let it go
越頭欲揣過去的我
ua̍t thâu beh tshuē kuè-khì ê guá
A turn of the head, and you want to find the departed me
煞來袂記家己的名
suah-lâi bē kì ka-kī ê miâ
How could you have forgotten your own name
是我欲陪你流浪
sī guá beh puê lí liû-lōng
It is I who wants to lead you astray
長路終點滿天花雨
tn̂g-lōo tsiong-tiám muá-thinn hue-ú
At the end of the long road are clear skies, flowers, and rain
雺霧內底戇神
bông-bū lāi-té gōng-sîn
Dazed in the middle of the fog
千年流轉你的世界
tshian-nî liû-tsuán lí ê sè-kài
Your world is a cycle of death and rebirth*
自作多情的人
tsū-tsok-to-tsîng ê lâng
Before a self indulgent person
眼前地獄家己揀的
gán-tsiân tē-ga̍k ka-kī kíng ê
Is a hell of their own choosing
天上 地下 人間
thian-siōng, tē-hā, jîn-kan
Above heaven, below hell -- the mortal world
四方妖孽請恁退下
sù-hong iau-gia̍t tshiánn lín thè-hā
Quartet of demons*, please back down
這繁華世間
tse huân-hua sè-kan
This prosperous world
眾生有情人
tsiòng-sing ū-tsîng-lâng
Where everyone has loved ones
有情生煩惱(甘願受罪)
ū-tsîng senn huân-ló(kam-guān siū-tsuē)
As such are troubled (yet willing to suffer)
心狂閣火著
sim-kông koh hué-to̍h
They set their hearts ablaze
明知會艱苦
bîng tsai ē kan-khóo
Knowing it will one day bring unhappiness
千錯萬錯 (攏佮你無關)
tshian-tshò-bān-tshò(lóng ka̍h lí bô-kuan)
Tens of millions of faults (all have nothing to do with you)
* - the original phrasing is in reference to concepts/phrasing that exist in reference to religion that I have only found information on in very formal Chinese, however I am not skilled enough to translate properly, as such the translation is lacking.

Music Obsessions - October 2022
Music Obsessions - October 2022 #music #cpop #hkpop #fishleong #joeyyung #nanaouyang #chilamcheung
Another month has gone by and we’re in October. With the Halloween Marathon kicked off this week and feeling like things are relatively on track, its time to take a little moment and share some of the music I’ve been listening to in the past month as well as a few songs that’s been gradually added to the baby lullaby repertoire because my baby apparently listened to Chinese pop music in my belly…
