LALA HSU 徐佳瑩: 尋人啟事 Missing Person (TRANS)

7/8/2014

The first time I listened to this song was
live at Lala Hsu’s album preview concert. I’d heard it a few times before, a
melody drifting in and out as I walked through the bustling streets of Taipei,
but the first time I really stopped and listened to it was when I watched her
sing it live. It was the first song she sang that night, and its beauty will
forever be deeply imprinted in my memory. The beautiful melody enchanted me to
no end, and even as I read the lyrics right now, the soft strength of Lala’s
whisper echoes, always there, never too far away from my thoughts. I see a lot
of singers trying to use the crooning/whispering vocal technique to create a
different, more indie atmosphere in songs a lot, but usually they are unable to
capture the emotion in the songs well enough to pull it off. With lala however,
she captures this sense of heartache and longing so flawlessly that it makes my
heart ache. The thing I love about lala is that she knows when to take control
and when to let go, maintaining a sense of equilibrium always in her album. She
doesn’t have to write every single song on every single album, and I feel that
she had great foresight in getting this song from Hush and getting the lyrics
from Jianwei Huang, both go together like a match made in heaven. I guess we’re
all looking for that one person , ceaselessly and tirelessly without ever really
letting go. Lala’s honesty really shines through in this song and makes it even
more so relatable for all listeners. 

尋人啟事
Missing Person


作詞:Hush
   作曲:黃建為

讓我看看 你的照片 究竟為什麼 你消失不見
Let me see your photo and the reason for your disappearance
多數時間 你在哪邊 會不會疲倦 你思念著誰
how much time have you been there ; are you weary? Who are you thinking of

而世界的粗糙 讓我去到你身邊 難一些
And the vulgarity of the world has led me to your side It was hard to find
而緣份的細膩 又清楚地浮現 你的臉
And the exquisiteness of fate has once again clearly appeared Your face

有些時候 我也疲倦 停止了思念 卻不肯鬆懈
Sometimes I too am weary; ceasing to miss you but yet unwilling to slacken
就算世界 擋在我前面 猖狂地說 別再奢侈浪費
Even if this world blocks me and furiously says not to waste extravagantly

我多想找到你 輕捧你的臉 我會張開我雙手撫摸你的背
How I wish I could find you and lightly caress your face I will open wide my
arms and stroke your back
請讓我擁有你 失去的時間 在你流淚之前 保管你的淚
Please let me have the time that you’ve lost Before you cry; taking care of your tears

而世界的粗糙 讓我去到你身邊 難一些
And the vulgarity of the world has led me to your side It was hard to find
而緣份的細膩 又清楚地浮現 你的臉
And the exquisiteness of fate has once again clearly appeared Your face

我多想找到你 輕捧你的臉 我會張開我雙手 撫摸你的背
How I wish I could find you and lightly caress your face I will open wide my
arms and stroke your back
請讓我擁有你 失去的時間 在你流淚之前 保管你的淚
Please let me have the time that you’ve lost Before you cry; taking care of your tears


有些時候 我也疲倦 停止了思念 卻不肯鬆懈
Sometimes I too am weary; ceasing to miss you but yet unwilling to slacken
就算世界 擋在我前面 猖狂地說 別再奢侈浪費
Even if this world blocks me and furiously says not to waste extravagantly
