上一次感動是什麼時候, 我忘記了.............

Red Hot Chili Peppers / Under the Bridge

Red Hot Chili Peppers / Under the Bridge (acoustic)

Sometimes I feel like I dont have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angel
Lonely as I am. Together we cry

I drive on her streets cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
I never worry now that is a lie

I dont ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Its hard to believe that theres nobody out there
Its hard to believe that Im all alone
At least I have her love the city she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I dont ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Under the bridge downtown, is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown, I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown, forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown, I gave my life away

一千年

極美如詩的一首歌...

Sting / A Thousand Years

A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs to a tower of souls
一輪千年, 綿延千輪
千萬道門追往永恆
我或已活盡千生, 輪回千世
無盡的樓梯蜿蜒爬上靈魂之塔

If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face
如再有千年, 千場戰爭
寶塔直展無數空中樓層
我或拂過又萬抹淚, 萬次瞬息
呼喚萬種名字, 始能面對唯一真理

A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
萬條道路, 萬般恐懼
萬道朝陽, 千萬年變幻無常
我或說盡萬種謊言, 低吟萬首歌曲
萬次仗義, 萬般罪孽, 顛僕於時空的平衡

But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face
但如有唯一真理, 唯一光明
唯一想念, 觸動唯一恩典
於是開啟唯一時刻, 爆起唯一火光
糾纏唯一記憶裏你容顏

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
我依舊深愛你
我仍然渴望你
一千次, 謎團緩緩攤平延伸
如同我腦中銀河

I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
我也許籍籍無名, 也許天真純淨
我也許滿腹經綸, 也許淺薄無知
我或與帝王並騎征戰許多領地
或用紙牌贏得世界, 轉瞬從指間散淨

I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortunes child to judge anothers crimes
Or wear this pilgrims cloak, or be a common thief
Ive kept this single faith, I have but one belief
我可能是戰場炮灰, 被擊碎千次
轉世為幸運之子, 審判他人罪行
或披上朝聖者的斗篷, 或成為聲名狼藉的大盜
我只保有一個承諾, 唯一信仰...

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
til you love me
我依舊深愛你
我仍然渴望你
一千次, 謎團緩緩攤平延伸
如同我腦中銀河
轉呀轉, 謎團緩緩回卷曲折
永恆依舊無語
直到...你愛我

Love is Patient

Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind;
love has no envy;
love has no high opinion of itself,
love has no pride;
愛是恆久忍耐，又有恩慈
愛是不嫉妒；愛是不自誇，不張狂

Love's ways are ever fair,
it takes no thought for itself;
it is not quickly made angry,
it takes no account of evil;
不做害羞的事
不求自己的益處
不輕易發怒
不計算人的惡

It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing,
but has joy in what is true;
Love has the power of undergoing all things,
having faith in all things, hoping all things.
不喜歡不義，只喜歡真理
凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐

Though the prophet's word may come to an end,
tongues come to nothing,
and knowledge have no more value,
love has no end.
雖然先知的言詞終必過去
口舌之能終必停止
知識的價值終必消失
但愛是永不止息的。

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
歌林多前書 13:4-8

Desert Rose

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sting ft. Cheb Mami / Desert Rose

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I colse my eyes, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of her love

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall

嘿然無聲，此為何名？

「有鳥止南方之阜，三年不翅、不飛、不鳴，嘿然無聲，此為何名?」　

「三年不翅，將以長羽翼；不飛不鳴，將以觀民則。雖無飛，飛必沖天；雖無鳴，鳴必驚人。子釋之，不穀知之矣」

《韓非子．喻老第二十一》
