倉頡 Cang Jie
Music by Stone, Lyrics by Ashin作曲：石頭, 作詞：阿信
| How much sweetness is in
one grape? I could exhaust all of the totems and language
trying to describe it How much longing is involved in missing someone? That’s another moment when written language loses its effectiveness Tie a memory knot, record it for after you’re gone, thousands of words, crumbled Raise a foggy smoke signal, I’ve left it in the wilderness of the loneliest prehistory So remote, so intertwined, so much longing, such indescribable pain and insanity; you can’t see any of it I want to overcome, want to fly forward, want to change into the creator of characters Cang Jie, and write a poem that will make you come back quickly How brilliantly colored is a butterfly, can it fly past the jealous and indifferent world The texts and messages I’ve left you cannot clearly express one ten-thousandth of my remorse When the constellations sink behind the mountains, I just hope you’ll raise your head to see the crescent moon I’ve wished upon When a civilization is on the verge of collapse, what will remain as evidence of the age we lived in So remote, so intertwined, so much longing, such indescribable pain and insanity; you can’t see any of it I want to overcome, want to fly forward, want to change into the creator of characters, Cang Jie, and select a wording that can make you think of me So remote, so intertwined, so much longing, such indescribable pain and insanity; you can’t see any of it I want to overcome, want to fly forward, want to change into the creator of characters Cang Jie, and write a poem that will make you come back quickly I need you, need you, need you to want to turn back time and return to when the world first contained you I want to overcome, want to fly forward, want to change into the creator of characters Cang Jie, and write a poem that will make the universe start all over again Heavens rained down millet, and ghosts wailed at night, yearning for the ancients |
一顆葡萄有多甜美 用盡了所有的 圖騰和語言 描寫 想一個人有多想念 那又是文字失效瞬間 結一個紀念的繩結 記錄你離去後 萬語和千言 瓦解 升起了慌張的狼煙 我遺落在最孤獨史前 的荒野 多遙遠 多糾結 多想念 多無法描寫 疼痛 和瘋癲 你都看不見 想穿越 想飛天 想變成 造字的倉頡 寫出 能讓你快回來 的詩篇 一隻蝴蝶有多鮮豔 能不能飛越過 猜忌和冷漠 世界 給你的簡訊和留言 說不清萬分之一追悔 當星宿都沉沒山岳 只盼你會抬頭 看我寄託的 彎月 當一個文明即將熄滅 有什麼證明你我存在 的歲月 多遙遠 多糾結 多想念 多無法描寫 疼痛 和瘋癲 你都看不見 想穿越 想飛天 想變成 造字的倉頡 創造 能讓你想起我 的字眼 多遙遠 多糾結 多想念 多無法描寫 疼痛 和瘋癲 你都看不見 想穿越 想飛天 想變成 造字的倉頡 寫出 能讓你快回來 的詩 需要你 需要你 需要你 想逆轉時間 回到 最開始 有你的世界 想穿越 想飛天 想變成 造字的倉頡 寫出 讓宇宙能重來 的詩篇 天 雨 粟 鬼 夜 哭 思 念 漫 太 古 |

Notes: Cang Jie is traditionally credited with inventing Chinese characters. The last line - "heavens rained down millet, and ghosts wailed at night" comes from a second century text called the "Huainanzi," which details (amongst other things) the story of the invention of Chinese writing.
