怪美的 (Ugly Beauty)


怪美的
蔡依林

垂涎的邪惡 陪我長大
在軟爛中生長 社會營養
過去坑疤的 讓我站穩了
那些神醜的 評誰亂正的
喔 我都笑哭了

這什麼標準 急著決定適者生存
愛我 恨我 非我
有一些外在我 來自內在我

聽誰說 錯的 對的
說美的 醜的
若問我 我看 我說
我怪美的

看不見我的美 是你瞎了眼
稱讚的嘴臉 卻轉身吐口水
審美的世界 誰有膽說那麼絕對
真我 假我 自我 看今天這個我
想要哪個我

聽誰說 錯的 對的
說美的 醜的
若問我 我看 我說
我怪美的

看不見我的美 是你瞎了眼
稱讚的嘴臉 卻轉身吐口水
審美的世界 誰有膽說那麼絕對
真我 假我 自我 看今天這個我
想要哪個我

聽誰說 錯的 對的
說美的 醜的
若問我 我看 我說
我怪美的

誰來推我一把On to the next one
一路背著太多道德活著令人會喘
任誰去傷去想去講不相關就別管
太婉轉的相處 靈魂拉扯左右為難
正負能量全都吃掉
美的醜的自有他存在的必要
愛恨隨你各自喜好
拒絕你的偽善擁抱
想要活得顯耀 回應心中惡之必要

誰說 錯的 對的
說美的 醜的
若問我 我說我呢
怪美的


Ugly Beauty
蔡依林 (Cài Yīlín aka Jolin Tsai)

I have grown up in the hell
Of what you call society
My past scars made me tough
Who’s drawing the line between beautiful and ugly
Oh, I laugh and cry at the same time

Who has the right to judge whether or not one is cool
Love myself, hate myself, deny myself
My outside comes from my inside

Who says what’s wrong and what isn’t
Who’s beautiful and who’s ugly
If you ask me, I’d call myself
An ugly beauty

If you do not see my beauty it is because you’re blind
You praise my face, you mock me behind my back
Who has the right to set absolute aesthetic standards
My true self, my false self, my self as I look today
Which me do you want

Who says what’s wrong and what isn’t
Who’s beautiful and who’s ugly
If you ask me, I’d call myself
A weird beauty

If you do not see my beauty it is because you’re blind
You praise my face, you mock me behind my back
Who has the right to set absolute aesthetic standards
My true self, my false self, my self as I look today
Which me do you want

Who says what’s wrong and what isn’t
Who’s beautiful and who’s ugly
If you ask me, I’d call myself
An ugly beauty

Who will push me on to new heights
Too many moral burdens can take one’s breath off
Say what you want, you won’t hurt me
Too much politeness may induce insecurity
I fill myself with both dark and bright energy
Both beauty and ugliness are a human matter
No matter if you love me or hate me
I don’t need your hypocrite’s embrace
A worthy life contemplates both yīn and yáng

Who says what’s wrong and what isn’t
Who’s beautiful and who’s ugly
If you ask me, I’d call myself
A weird beauty

美夢成真 (What Dreams May Come)


美夢成真
許茹芸

我能感觉
我像只麋鹿奔驰思念的深夜
停在你心岸啜饮失眠的湖水
苦苦想你习惯不睡
为躲开寂寞的狩猎

我的感觉
像小说忽然写到结局那一页
我不愿承认缘份已肠思枯竭
逼迫自己时光倒回
要美梦永远远离心碎

我抱着你
我吻着你
我笑着流泪
我不懂回忆能如此真切
你又在我的眼眶决堤淹水
爱不是离别可以抹灭

我除了你
我除了疯
我没有后悔
我一哭全世界为我落泪
在冷得没有你的孤绝
我闭上双眼
用泪去感觉
你的包围

What Dreams May Come
許茹芸 (Xǔ Rúyún)

I feel
Like a galloping deer, longing for the dark hours of the night
I stop at the shore of your heart and drink at the river of insomnia
I think painfully of you, accustomed not to sleep
For not being haunted by loneliness

My feelings
Are like the last page in the novel that suddely ended
I don’t wanna believe in our love with no more gut passions
And having to turn back
And forever burying a broken heart in a dream

I hold you
I kiss you
I smile through tears
I couldn’t believe that memories were so vivid
You are always in my eyes like a flood
Love cannot be forgotten by absence

I have lost you
I lost madness
I have no regrets
As soon as I cry, all the world cries for me
In the cold of desperate lonliness without you
I close my eyes
And in my tears I feel
Your embrace
