my latest fav love song from the official soundtrack of Singapore's local film!
haha i attempted to translate the paragraphs.. but man, it sounds SO UN-love song and makes the person sound so pathetic..it;s rather hard to translate.. coz the poetic meaning of Chinese/hokkien is lost after translation sometimes.. but really it's actually very sweet in its original version singing from the character's viewpoint. Actually, hokkien love songs are very sweet... very.. persevering :)
881 OST:一人一半 duet
一人一半，感情不散
一人一素故，感情才会久
时光累积，安静的泪滴
一心去追，爱那么可贵
这样的人，这样地等
无非是等个回应眼神
为爱翻滚，不急伤痕
甘心为你一生都浮沉
这样的人，别笑我蠢
傻傻地心痛也不觉疼
就算残忍，就算天冷
等你想起这没用的人
一人一半，感情不散
已经找到爱，为何要离开
时光累积，安静的泪滴
一心去追，爱那么可贵
这样的人，这样地等
无非是等个回应眼神
为爱翻滚，不急伤痕
甘心为你一生都浮沉
一人一半，感情不散
已经找到爱，为何要离开
已经找到爱，为何想离开
One half for each person, love will not be dispersed
Each person gives in a bit (?), feelings will last longer
Time cumulates silent tears
Pursue it whole heartedly, Love is so precious
A person like this, waiting this way
Is doing just so to get a reciprocating look
Being tossed around (in turmoil?) for love, not afraid of bruises
Willing to wait for you for life
A person like me, don't laugh at me coz i'm silly
Heartaching silly-ly, doesn't really seem to ache
Even though its cruel, even though the weather's cold
I'll wait for you to think of this useless person
One half for each person, love will not be dispersed
i've already found love, why does it have to leave
Time cumulates silent tears
Pursue it whole heartedly, Love is so precious
A person like this, waiting this way
is doing just so to get a reciprocating look
Being tossed around (in turmoil?) for love, not afraid of bruises
Willing to wait for you for life
One half for each person, love will not be dispersed
i've already found love, why does it have to leave?
I've already found love, why do you want to leave?
