A little change of pace for today’s lyrics post. Instead of liking it for delving into life philosophies and themes, this one drew me because of it told a tale, a somewhat wistful tale of love and reincarnation. It’s also a relatively new song, in Mandarin and its title is “the Love of a Thousand years”, sung by a male and female Taiwanese singer together.
(F): Who made a pot of tea on a cliff warming the longing from the previous life?
Whilst I’m adjusting for the “jet lag” of a thousand years drinking in all the loves and hatreds
(M): Years are hammering at the rocks I’m leaving my hair long again
Waiting patiently for changes in the coastline a heavy rain is about to fall
(F): The Wind is blowing fiercely
(M): Who is afraid at this moment?
(F): The sea breeze had always been yearning for the sands yet you’ve missed the best years of my life
Missed the branches and shoots that I’ve newly grown and my white hair
(M): Butterflies are still wildly in love with flowers yet you’ve missed the best years of my life
Missed my reincarnated face do you still love me I’m waiting for an answer from you
(F): I’ve been always been looking at the cliffs that broke up the sky whenever I walked,
the farthest sight I’ve seen is merely the sunsets
I’m wondering into which family you were born into this life my tears fall before I can utter a word
(M): The vanished sprays on the beach makes me think of home in a gradual way
Where is the forever that has been promised I can never put it down
(F&M): Oh The memories from reincarnations are dwindling in the winds
Yet I will be remembering them deeply
(F&M): The sea breeze had always been yearning for the sands yet you’ve missed the best years of my life
Missed the branches and shoots that I’ve newly grown and my white hair
*Butterflies are still wildly in love with flowers yet you’ve missed the best years of my life
Missed my reincarnated face do you still love me I’m waiting for an answer from you
Repeat *
By the way, I saw that my followers had finally reached the two digits recently. And I would like to say a big thank you to all of my followers given that I post but sparsely and is quite a shy person whether in person or online.
