Ever
since I started my new job I haven’t had much time to take care of this blog
(due to the long distance travel everyday and many paperwork/applications that
I got to sort out due to the nature of my job). Don’t worry, no bad news are coming.
I have finally sorted out most of the paper work/application and sort of got
used to the working hours so I think I can get back onto this blog a bit more
frequent. While I still can’t go back to a post per day, but for now I will aim
to make a post once every two days :D
The
song for today is “瑕疵” by Juno Mak and Karen Mok. This
song actually released a while ago, even before “羅生門”. This
can be considered as one of the spinoff of the trilogy. The direct English translation
of the title is “Defect”. I haven’t translated this song before because the
lyrics are so long :p I guess I finally got the energy to translate it.
If
you still remember Juno’s trilogy’s story (if not, click here to get to the
trilogy), this song is about the relationship of the protagonist and his new
girlfriend. It said that she knows that her boyfriend is hiding something from
her and she is trying to tell herself not to dig deeper as it could end their
relationship. I will represent Juno’s line by “J:”, Karen’s by “K:” and when
they sing together “T:”. J: So close to give up, why still haven’t let go. So
close of dumping me, why decided to hold back? You didn’t own me anything
right? Why every time I did something bad you still managed to find an excuse
and let it go? You had questioned and regrated right? So close to lose you, why
I still haven’t managed to changed? I got so many defects and I never cover
them up. Really you got a lot of people that wanted to date you, so I am pleased
that you stay. Between lovers, are there rooms for secrets? Should expose it,
but worry that it will get worse. Between lovers, are there rooms for errors?
But I didn’t just do a bit wrong, it is a few time more serious. K: Never though
that no flowers and no sweet words could still call love. T: Keep holding back, and no time wasted. J:
Who humanity is so scary? T: Even if the sky turn grey, I still wanted to wait
until the new moon. J: being loved make me more easily tempered. K: IS this
love, or just touched? Bring me to the end without sacrificed. J: Is this call
love? Or bullying? Limitlessly allowed me to do anything. J: So close to give
up, why still haven’t let go. So close of dumping me, why decided to hold back?
You didn’t own me anything right? Why every time I did something bad you still
managed to find an excuse and let it go? You had questioned and regrated right?
So close to lose you, why I still haven’t managed to changed? I got so many
defects. K: Really shouldn’t dig deeper. If it is love, then no need to expose
the truth. If I can predict that this will turn things off, then I should stop
searching further. Lover should turn the darkness to dream, if the truth scare
people away. Not dare to search for the truth. If it is love, then no need to
care about the detail. Not care. J: Not watching. K: Not care. J: Not
listening. Why you are willing to step back and let me go once again? K:
Willing to take a bit more pain as I remembered the sweet old time. Let’s
become stupid first. J: If we switch place, could I step back like this?
Really, did you have second thought? K: Let’s treat this as a gift. Not going
to search for the crime. J: I wanted to listen to you about this. K: So close
to give up, why still haven’t let go. So close of dumping you, why decided to
hold back? Is it because of my will to win? Helped you to make every defect
become romantic. J: So that the sweet memories could be enlarged to compensate.
K: Knew from the beginning that everyone got a bad side. J: Really wanted to
control all the bad habits. K: As long as that there are still some good side
to cover it up. J: But sadly I couldn’t suppress my true self. K: If signs are
showing, please remember the beautiful time or remember that time. J: Or
perhaps that I wanted to proof that no matter how naughty I get you still going
to forgive me. Wish that you could understand that I feel a little bad using
this trick. Love me, sometime is not easy. K: Who used love to make a potion to
heal you, so I am not dare to not love. I know the reasoning long ago, so I am
not surprise. To search for love, first need to accept the worse. Reaching the
sky to become victorious also takes only a second right, but the road to
victory is long and scary. Our relationship is like waiting for a rock to
become flower. The beautiful moment could fulfil me. That’s why I haven’t let
go of this broken thing.
Hope
you will like the song.
