ENGLISH TRANSLATION Forgotten Time by Tsai Chin Who is tapping my window Who is strumming the strings? That forgotten time gradually makes my heart rise again The rain that lightly floats down continuously taps my window There's only the silence of my unspeaking self, who doesn't stop recalling the past Who is tapping my window? Who is strumming the strings? The memory of that happy scene gradually makes my mind rise again from overrule.livejournal
someone has been knocking on my window someone has plucked the string of a violin A time once lost Has gradually returned to my heart Someone has been knocking on the window Someone has plucked the string of a violin Those memories of joy Slowly emerge in my mind The gentle rain Is splashing against the window pane It is only the silent I who is immersed in the past
@Rayteresa Yeah youre totally right!! I wasn't strictly adherent to the lyrical meanings when I attempted to translate the song into English, which was far far far from perfect! I thought it flew better with violin I guess...
If you are a big fan of this song. Go get a high quality CD (or SACD) and play it on a Hi-End audio system. You will HEAR that someone is knoking the window (the sound is comming from your side, not fron). Try it. It is fun. :)
Hey can someone help me i want to know what shes singing about, it's a central text for a film study, (infernal affairs, coz its a motif for death apparently within this film, coz its played when ever someone dies
i don't know anything about this movie. but this song's existed independent of this movie for a long time. the lyrics: who is knocking on my window who is playing the string of the violin the time forgotten gradully ascending back to my heart the joyful moment in my memory slowly floating in my head the forgotten time the drizzle softly falling hitting on my window the silent speechless me remembering the past now and then...
1:32裡要是那女的煙灰落在男的背上也許會更激情;)

台灣的音響發燒友在談到流行音樂時, 確實曾以蔡琴為第一, 甚至是唯一. 鄧麗君及費玉清都上不了檯面. 現在責有多出幾位, 包括江惠及王芷蕾, 但蔡依林目前還是沒人理會.

抱歉
找點小小的問題
那句"是誰在撩動琴弦".....如果你想用pluck來譯"撩動"這個字的話
那可能後面不應該接violin
因為violin大部分是用 "弓" 來拉的
只有某些時候音樂需要才會撥一下
而且
violin撥弦的聲音也不算好聽 -_____-
會用手指來"pluck"的是吉他, 豎琴這些樂器....
