我就想要唱这新首歌叫照色照片
I just want to sing this new song called Color Photos
彩色相片 Color Photos - 蔡依林 Jolin
Color Photos - Jolin Tsai
晴天 肆无忌惮的光线
On a sunny day, the light is unrestrained
差些要模糊的脸 笑得很清浅
Almost blurring faces, smiles so faint
转眼 说不出声的语言
In an instant, words unspoken linger
由生到死的缠绵 藏进心里面
From life to death, the entanglement hides within the heart
总是在临走前拍了相片
Always snapping a photo before leaving
就留下证据再无法毁灭
Leaving behind evidence that can't be destroyed
总是在忘记前变得明显
Always becoming clear before forgetting
就刻下回忆再无法退却
Carving memories that can't be undone
也许谁遇见 也许谁又不见
Perhaps someone meets, perhaps someone fades away
留下更多疑点惊慌后突然想念
Leaving behind more questions, suddenly longing after panic
也许谁失约 也许谁失眠
Perhaps someone breaks promises, perhaps someone can't sleep
曾经都搁浅 忽然又鲜艳
Once stranded, now suddenly vivid
晴天 肆无忌惮的光线
Under the sun, light shines without restraint
差些要模糊的脸 笑得很清浅
Almost blurring faces, smiling so lightly
转眼 说不出声的语言
In the blink of an eye, unspoken words linger
由生到死的缠绵 藏进心里面
From life to death, entangled warmth hidden inside
也许谁遇见 也许谁又不见
Perhaps someone meets, perhaps someone fades away
留下更多疑点惊慌后突然想念
Leaving behind more questions, suddenly longing after panic
也许谁失约 也许谁失眠
Perhaps someone broke their promise, perhaps someone couldn't sleep
曾经都搁浅
Once we'd all run aground
忽然又出现 又晕眩
Suddenly reappears, and I'm dizzy again
黑白的 泛黄的 还是鲜艳
In black and white, faded yet still vivid
也许谁改变 也许谁没变
Perhaps someone has changed, perhaps someone has stayed the same
杂乱的滋味 走过了沉淀
The chaotic flavors, having moved through the stillness
也许谁表演 也许谁看片
Perhaps someone is performing, perhaps someone is watching the show
剧中的情节 都津津有味
The scenes in the drama are all so delightful
事过 境迁
After everything passed, the scenery shifts
沧海 桑田
From great seas to mulberry fields
贪得 无厌
Greedy and never satisfied
彩色 相片
A colorful photograph
