13th Sep 2016 (一起去跑步 – Cosmospeople (宇宙人樂團))

The song for today is “一起去跑步” by Cosmospeople (宇宙人樂團). This is a reader request. I haven’t listen to many Taiwanese songs, so thanks for introducing this to me Chris. The direct English translation of the title is “Run together”.

The lyrics of the song question us how long since it was the last time that we run, and perhaps doing exercise could help us get rid of the problems that have been bothering us. It said: “How long have it been since you last sweated. How many pairs of sport shoes that you haven’t wear? How many problems are tangled to you? How many people are troubling you that you couldn’t get rid of? Make a turn (No need for the sense of direction.) It is not that hard (the pores will open). The trouble will follow the body temperatures to flow away. I said, why cry, not sweat? Let’s run together, don’t say no. Our rhythm, is to breath in twice then breath out. With this speed, you will leave behind the annoyance of this world. Let’s run together. Perhaps there would be a split road, perhaps we will be block by a zebra (note: I think they maybe referring to a crossing, as zebra in Chinese is “斑馬” and crossing is “斑馬線”, so they may just have shortened it to make the line flow better). At least there isn’t many place that we couldn’t go. Let’s run together, please don’t say no. Our rhythm why make sun set stop crying.  With this speed, you will leave behind the annoyance of this world. Let’s run together. Perhaps there would be a split road, perhaps we will be block by a zebra. At least there isn’t many place that we couldn’t go (so many roads).” Hope you will enjoy the song.
