[C-E] 愛不醒就是真的

燈亮燈熄 人聚人散
是什麼天意 冷和暖不停的交替
緣被風襲擊 被暴雨沖洗
心硬時如鐵 可心軟又若泥

愛不醒就是真的 抓不住就是假的
抱緊了它是甜的 放空了就是苦澀
愛不醒就是真的 抓不住就是假的
抱緊了它是圓的 抱空了就是殘缺

該去的不走 該走的不去
該哭的笑了 該笑的哭泣

Love is real in dream

Lights turned on and off
You came and left
Why so arranged was our fate?
Warmth followed by coldness in circle
An endless suffering

Winds blowed it away
Rains washed it off
Heart was broken and hardened up
Only to be softened by a tender touch

Love was true in dream
Kept close, its sweetness tasted
When let go, it turned bitter
Love was real in dream
Held tight, its fullness felt
When set loose, it broke apart

What shouldn't be here, stayed
Where I should set off, feet dragged
Smiled at what I should cry for
Cried when I should smile[/COLOR]

[CENTER]my love is real only in dream

lights on and off, he comes and goes
oh, why the alternating warmth and coldness, you set me in?
we met by chance, but together we went through so much
hate you and love you, my hate is as much as my love

only in dream i feel it true; when awakened, i find it faulty
my love is so sweet when i hold it tight and so bitter when i set it free
only in dream i feel it real; when awakened, i find it faulty
my heart is so full when i hold it tight and so empty when i let it go

staying with me is a mistake, not leaving here is a mistake
i smile at what i should cry for and cry when i should smile[/COLOR][/CENTER]

"What shouldn't be here, stayed
Where I should set off, feet dragged
Smiled at what I should cry for
Cried when I should smile" . Life is always playing a trick on people. So live your own way and be true self, As a saying goes well, " Being mediocre is really ture."

it was a homework i did for a friend. honestly i didn't understand the poem well. i just felt that the author was caught in a dilemma as she couldn't decide whether to stay and keep  this "mediocre" love affair or move on to find a better love. it was this difficult feeling that moved me, for no reason, that i decided to give it a try.

now, i see you have a stronger personality than the author that you are quicker to reach a decision. [:430:]

I think we are in Marriage and family garden as you ask for a decision.

xixi...

The message this cantiga tries to deliver contains a generic melancholy that is close to those who had stories ever, the lyric itself is also fit for romantics, who are always dreaming of a different involvement..
