I've come across some old songs recently in Youtube. Have to admit, I initially took a playful attempt to test out how good the Youtube was. Deeply amazed by its musical charisma, I finally spent a whole night to try out any songs I could possibly remember of. Thanks to Internet! It does always surprise me. I am now overwhelmingly convinced by its almightiness. I glanced through Wikipedia the background information of the songs, while at the same time I checked out the lyrics of the songs word by word, line by line, in a starving manner.
At a point in our youthful days, there happened that some tunes of music lingering in our ears. They are easy to catch up, the melody, the refrain or the lyrics, don't know... there must be something in the songs that have arrested our ears and mellowed our memory, yet somehow, ironically, we didn't fully understand what the songs were talking about. Years are rolling by, they may have been put into a hutch, long forgotten. Yet, by incident, they snake into our ears and stir up our memories again. Intriguingly mellowed with our life experience all these years, these songs render us a new perspective, through which, I suppose, we could observe better the world we are living in.
風中微塵
Dust in the wind -Kansas / 中譯: Zamu
I close my eyes
閉上眼睛
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
點滴回憶出現 瞬間無影踪
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
點滴回憶出現 瞬間無影踪
All my dreams
我的夢
Pass before my eyes in curiosity
莫名的飄過，留影眼眸中
Dust in the wind
人間一切
All they are is dust in the wind
輕飄飄如 風中塵煙
Same old song
碎心曲
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
是無邊 的 大海 微小一水點
All we do crumbles to the ground
人世間 眼淚和笑容
Though we refuse to see
把 我 心情來牽
Dust in the wind
不要回首
All we are dust in the wind
一切仿如春花秋月
(Instrument)
Don't hang on
不瞎想
Nothing lasts forever
萬物不是永恆
but the earth and sky
除了地和天
It slips away
時 光流
All your money won't another minute buy
一分一秒 縱有金錢 不能帶走
Dust in the wind
不要執著
All we are is dust in the wind
人間一切 是鏡花水月
Dust in the wind
前塵往事
Everything is dust in the wind
