One More Song

This song touches the soft spot in the heart of every Chinese who is far away from home.



一程山水一程歌

演唱：任天明

是我将愁耽成醉醒做睡
还是愁与我的心共已累
非我赋诗诗赋我
非我饮酒酒饮我
何时鞋声经已沾上苍苔冷

世上何物最易催少年老
半是心中积霜半是人影杳
非我离月月离我
非我思乡乡思我
归得昔曰桥边红药不识人

究竟是我走过路
还是路在走着我
风过西窗客渡舟船无觅处

是我经过春与秋
还是春秋经过我
年年一川新草遥看却似旧

夜深孤灯照不悔
回首青江尽是泪
风情拍肩怕见明月减青辉

一程山水一程歌
一笛疏雨寒吹彻
梦在叶叶声声尽处轻轻和

青花瓷

I apologize for the cheesy MTV. Actually I have to thank the lousy MTV because it bought me back form the stroke the lyric of the song was giving me. I was simply thunderstruck. I am unable to translate it. You can't really translate poetry, can you?! You have to be a real Chinese to understand and appreciate it (sorry for the arrogance :P).



周杰伦 - 青花瓷

词:方文山曲:周杰伦
素胚勾勒出青花笔锋浓转淡
瓶身描绘的牡丹一如你初妆
冉冉檀香透过窗心事我了然
宣纸上走笔至此搁一半

釉色渲染仕女图韵味被私藏
而你嫣然的一笑如含苞待放
你的美一缕飘散去到我去不了的地方

天青色等烟雨而我在等你
炊烟袅袅升起隔江千万里
在瓶底书汉隶仿前朝的飘逸
就当我为遇见你伏笔

天青色等烟雨而我在等你
月色被打捞起晕开了结局
如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽你眼带笑意

色白花青的锦鲤跃然於碗底
临摹宋体落款时却惦记著你
你隐藏在窑烧里千年的秘密
极细腻犹如绣花针落地
帘外芭蕉惹骤雨门环惹铜绿
而我路过那江南小镇惹了你
在泼墨山水画里你从墨色深处被隐去

天青色等烟雨而我在等你
炊烟袅袅升起隔江千万里
在瓶底书汉隶仿前朝的飘逸
就当我为遇见你伏笔

天青色等烟雨而我在等你
月色被打捞起晕开了结局
如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽你眼带笑意

Here is the audio version.

Speechless

I was hit between the eyes by this. I literally had to tell myself to blink.




There goes 'I am not physically attracted to white guys'. What a BS!

Let It Be True!

Rumor has it they are dating. Please please please let it be true!

流年 - Floating Year

Chinese have this ancient fortune-telling system. Given your birth date including the hour, some people claim that they could calculate your entire fate, but there is a catch. There is something called Floating Year, which is like a current floating in and out of your fate and temporarily changeing it. It is unpredictable and uncontrollable.

This is my favorite girl singing a song called 流年. I love the music at the beginning. it reminds me of the firework shooting into the dark sky, brilliant, mesmerizing, fleeting and traceless.



Even since Heath Ledger's death I often think of a scene from the movie Brokeback Mountain. It was a beach firework party. Ennis Del Mar was standing on one side and his wife and children on the other, so close and so far away. The beautiful firework was blooming against the night sky. Surrounded by people he looked so lonely. The loneliness was coming from the invisible hole on his chest, the wound from the desperate fight of the losing battle to be someone he was not. Thank God for Brokeback Mountain. Now we have something so wonderful to remember Mr. Ledger of.

有生之年
狭路相逢
终不能幸免
手心忽然长出纠缠的曲线
懂事之前
情动以后
长不过一天
留不住
算不出
流年

Clarification

1. My blog is public. There is no restriction on viewers. This encourages me to keep my facts straight and to keep my thought and feeling honest and true. I've never intended to hurt anyone's feelings. If you disagree with or feel offended by what I have said please leave a comment, so that everyone including me could hear your side of the story.

2. People who know me know that I say 'I hate ...' alot, most of the time in a very dramatic and joking tone. I feel I need to clear it up a little. I DO NOT HATE YOU. I hate war. I hate diseases. I hate natural disasters. I hate to see children and animals suffer because they are defenseless. But I don't hate you. I would like to suggest that you don't tie what I or anyone think of you to your self-worth. You probably already know that by now.

That's all.
