I came over a blog which the person, i think had translated the whole chinese version of 陈奇贞(Cheer Chen )- 旅行的意義 lyrics to an english version. As i read over the lyrics, all seems so meaningful.The way she expressed herself. And while she is writing this song, she went on travel all by her own.
旅行的意義- Chinese
你看过了许多美景 你看过了许多美女
你迷失在地圖上每一道短暫的光陰
你品嚐了夜的巴黎 你踏過下雪的北京
你熟記書本裡每一句你最愛的真理
卻說不出你愛我的原因
卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合曾讓你動心
說不出 離開的原因
你累積了許多飛行 你用心挑選紀念品
你蒐集了地圖上每一次的風和日麗
你擁抱熱情的島嶼 你埋葬記憶的土耳其
你流連電影裡美麗的不真實的場景
卻說不出你愛我的原因
卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合曾讓你分心
說不出 旅行的意義
你勉強說出你愛我的原因
卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合曾讓你動心
說不出 離開的原因
勉強說出 你為我寄出的每一封信
都是你 離開的原因
你離開我 就是旅行的意義
Significance of travel-English
You have seen many beautiful sceneries
You have seen many beautiful ladies
You got lost in all the briefly beautiful moments that occurs around the map
You have tasted the nights of Paris
You have stepped on the snows of Beijing
You are familiar with all your favourite phrases of truth
But you are unable to tell me the reason why you love me
But you are unable to tell me what kind of expression you like of me
But you are unable to tell me how I could distract you in what occasions
Unable to tell me the reason for leaving
You have accumulated a lot of flight travels
You spent time and effort selecting souvenirs
You collected all the best picturesque moments that you encounter around the world
You embraced the warmth of the islands
You buried your memories of Turkey
You reminisces the fictitiously romantic scenes in the movies
But you are unable to tell me the reason why you love me
But you are unable to tell me what kind of expression you like of me
But you are unable to tell me how I could distract you in what occasions
Unable to tell me the purpose of your travels
You managed to tell me the reason why you love me
But you are unable to tell me what kind of expression you like of me
But you are unable to tell me how I could distract you in what occasions
Unable to tell me the purpose of your travels
You managed to tell me
That every letter you have sent out to me
Are the reasons for your leaving
To leave me
Is the purpose of your travels
