First Rain
(初雨)
(初雨)
Standing on the corner where we used to meet
Under streetlights, words we can’t complete
Thoughts rehearsed but time has made them slow
Like a frozen river that forgot to flow
Thinking back to afternoons that we knew
Dreams that lost their exits, nothing can do
Young and foolish promises we cannot face
No more writing sorrow just to fill the space
(hook)
So I recall your name
In the beautiful lonely night
Burning the flame
of the life we lost — now tell me why
Everything faded away
Memories couldn’t stay
Choices we never made
Meaning starts to fade
Why do heavy chains
Hold us through life’s pains
Like a scarecrow spinning circles round the sun,
only shadows when the day is done
Loneliness reveals how deep wounds can ache,
struggling through the trials that fate will make
(hook)
So I recall your name
In the beautiful lonely night
Burning the flame
of the life we lost — now tell me why
LA rain washing down Old Town streets
Thinking back to Shanghai nights, Chengdu beats
Lies spoken without mercy, shatter and deceive
Time zones crossed feel like worlds we can’t retrieve
Words you said, promises dead, lies that spread, trust has fled
I ignore, see no more, fade and soar, out the door
Maybe time (will) help us find what we need
Past won’t leave, present grieves, neither freed
(hook)
So I recall your name
In the beautiful lonely night
Burning the flame
of the life we lost — now tell me why
我又站在这个街口
路灯下与你接头
那一句话我们想了很久
时间如长河水也不再流
想到多年前的午后
某个梦再也没了出口
年少无知的誓言难回首
再也不是为赋词做新愁
(hook)
所以我想起你的名字
在这美丽孤独的夜晚
为我们失去的生活
燃烧着焰火 ——现在告诉我为什么
一切模糊后又远了
连同记忆都消散了
一些没能做的选择
提醒意义对我来说
为何 沉重的是
生命中无解的枷锁
像围着太阳转圈的稻草人
只有影子站在脚边的沼泽
孤独时才会感觉伤口好疼
苦恼怎么撑过命运的考核
(hook)
所以我想起你的名字
在这美丽孤独的夜晚
为我们失去的生活
燃烧着焰火 ——现在告诉我为什么
洛杉矶的大雨冲刷老城的街
想起成都上海熬过无数的夜
谎言的话语毫不留情打碎一切
跨越的时区好像隔着不同世界
你说的字眼 随便 食言 碎成片
我无视 不见 消失 走远
也许很久才发现 时间
带不走从前 也无法凝固在今夜
(hook)
所以我想起你的名字
在这美丽孤独的夜晚
为我们失去的生活
燃烧着焰火 ——现在告诉我为什么
