#Taiwan - English

[baibixin]

你來過 你走

You once came, you left

我愛過 我痛

I once loved, i hurt

無法擁抱的你 讓我墜落

Your inability to embrace me, makes me falter

我試著 向你走去

I tried to walk towards you

才發現 你早默默在我身後

Only then i realised, you were already, silently, by my side,

彷彿黑夜與白晝 主宰天空

Just like the dark night, and the bright day, ruling over the sky

故事的盡頭 到底在哪裡？

After all is said and done, where is the end of the story ?

是不是愛情 由誰來界定？

Whether or not it's love, who gets to define that?

那樣的親密 沒有人能代替

This kind of intimacy, noone can replace

我們的相遇 如銀河的軌跡

Our encounter is as the orbit of the Milky Way

不能迴避 像這一場大雨

Cannot be avoided, similar to this pouring rain

我們的青春 如定格的時間

Our youth is as a freeze frame in time

此刻永恆 我向著你狂奔

This moment is everlasting, i am madly running to you

在黑暗谷底 你會接住我的心

In my darkest times, you will catch my heart

誰也在逃避 命中的注定？

Who else is also escaping what is destined by fate?

最遠的距離 不是我愛你

The furthermost distance, is not caused by me loving you

是我在這裡 你卻不敢靠近

It is caused by me being here, yet you do not dare to approach

我們的相遇 如銀河的軌跡

Our encounter is as the orbit of the Milky Way

不能迴避 像這一場大雨

Cannot be avoided, similar to this pouring rain

我們的青春 如定格的時間

Our youth is as a freeze frame in time

此刻永恆 我向著你狂奔

This moment is everlasting, i am madly running to you

現在 讓我們自由的飛吧

Now, Let us freely fly

現在 讓我們盡情的愛吧

Now, Let us love as much as one can like

現在 你終於是我

Now, You finally are me

而我終於是你

And I am finally you

我們的相遇 如銀河的軌跡

Our encounter is as the orbit of the Milky Way

不能迴避 像這一場大雨

Cannot be avoided, similar to this pouring rain

我們的青春 如定格的時間

Our youth is as a freeze frame in time

此刻永恆 我向著你狂奔

This moment is everlasting, i am madly running to you

在黑暗谷底 你會接住我的心

In my darkest times, you will catch my heart

[Translation notes]

接住我的心 "catch my heart" sounds so beautiful because 接住 means " catch " as in something falling or being thrown at someone and you catch it OR receive something given OR accept something

Also also 住 is a suffix indicating something firm and steady so a steady catch, picture that he catches the heart firlmly and won't let go basically

Chinese is beautiful and complex but also very hard to translate because of its amazing play on words T.T

I also translated 定格 as freeze frame because "a fixed moment in time" would have been boring and not romantic at all

I was going through some of my stuff and found this from when I went to weekend Chinese school in kindergarten

A lot of time was spent on zhuyin/pinyin/pronunciation tbh, this was some of the only actual written characters that I could find. I did only attend for ~3 years though so

在校園內，偷偷摘下小紅花，輕輕品嚐它們甜美的芳香，仿佛置身於一個神秘的世界裡，充滿了童年的冒險。我想這讓花蜜的味道更加甜美。

Taiwanese book stores are 👌

One of my favorite things about living abroad in a non-English speaking country is the terribly written English on shirts. Sometimes it seems like it's done to avoid copyright, sometimes it seems that someone slammed their head on a keyboard and put that on a shirt.
