作詞:魏嘉瑩
作曲:魏嘉瑩
專輯:夜空裡的光
我還是不懂你 為何離開
Wo hai shi bu dong ni wei he li kai
我還是不懂我 為何等待
Wo hai shi bu dong wo wei he deng dai
等待誰會想起 誰的依賴
Deng dai shui hui xiang qi shui de yi lai
只剩我在原地 獨自徘徊
Zhi sheng wo zai yuan di du zi pai huai
那日落之後 總會再升 我能懂
Na ri luo zhi hou zong hui zai sheng wo neng dong
那月缺之後 總會再圓 我能懂
Na yue que zhi hou zong hui zai yuan wo neng dong
那季節走了 會再回來 我都懂
Na ji jie zou le hui zai hui lai wo dou dong
但為什麼呢 你卻一走 不回頭
Dan wei shen me ne ni que yi zou bu hui tou
當藍色天空 白色雲朵 消失後
Dang lan se tian kong bai se yun duo xiao shi hou
那黃色球鞋 紅色外套 你帶走
Na huang se qiu xie hong se wai tao ni dai zou
當所有顏色 隨著你而 離去後
Dang suo you yan se sui zhe ni er li qu hou
剩透明眼淚 不斷滑落 陪著我
Sheng tou ming yan lei bu duan hua luo pei zhe wo
我還是不懂你 為何離開
Wo hai shi bu dong ni wei he li kai
我還是不懂我 為何等待
Wo hai shi bu dong wo wei he deng dai
等待誰會想起 誰的依賴
Deng dai shui hui xiang qi shui de yi lai
只剩我在原地 獨自徘徊
Zhi sheng wo zai yuan di du zi pai huai
當一個故事變 兩個遺憾
Dang yi ge gu shi bian liang ge yi han
讓兩顆心奔向 兩個未來
Rang liang ke xin ben xiang liang ge wei lai
那些無法遺忘 只能遺憾
Na xie wu fa yi wang zhi neng yi han
我卻不懂為何淚 停不下來
Wo que bu dong wei he lei ting bu xia lai
當藍色天空 白色雲朵 消失後
Dang lan se tian kong bai se yun duo xiao shi hou
那黃色球鞋 紅色外套 你帶走
Na huang se qiu xie hong se wai tao ni dai zou
當所有顏色 隨著你而 離去後
Dang suo you yan se sui zhe ni er li qu hou
剩透明眼淚 不斷滑落 陪著我
Sheng tou ming yan lei bu duan hua luo pei zhe wo
我還是不懂你 為何離開
Wo hai shi bu dong ni wei he li kai
我還是不懂我 為何等待
Wo hai shi bu dong wo wei he deng dai
等待誰會想起 誰的依賴
Deng dai shui hui xiang qi shui de yi lai
只剩我在原地 獨自徘徊
Zhi sheng wo zai yuan di du zi pai huai
當一個故事變 兩個遺憾
Dang yi ge gu shi bian liang ge yi han
讓兩顆心奔向 兩個未來
Rang liang ke xin ben xiang liang ge wei lai
那些無法遺忘 只能遺憾
Na xie wu fa yi wang zhi neng yi han
我卻不懂為何淚
Wo que bu dong wei he lei
如果天空 依然眷戀大海
Ru guo tian kong yi ran juan lian da hai
如果星辰 依然眷戀山脈
Ru guo xing chen yi ran juan lian shan mai
如果我還眷戀著 故事裡的期待
Ru guo wo hai juan lian zhe gu shi li de qi dai
也許有天 我會突然明白
Ye xu you tian wo hui tu ran ming bai
也許有天 我該放棄等待
Ye xu you tian wo gai fang qi deng dai
也許愛 從不存在答案
Ye xu ai cong bu cun zai da an
我還是不懂你 為何離開
Wo hai shi bu dong ni wei he li kai
我還是不懂我 為何等待
Wo hai shi bu dong wo wei he deng dai
等待誰會想起 誰的依賴
Deng dai shui hui xiang qi shui de yi lai
只剩我在原地 獨自徘徊
Zhi sheng wo zai yuan di du zi pai huai
當一個故事變 兩個遺憾
Dang yi ge gu shi bian liang ge yi han
讓兩顆心奔向 兩個未來
Rang liang ke xin ben xiang liang ge wei lai
那些無法遺忘 只能遺憾
Na xie wu fa yi wang zhi neng yi han
我卻不懂為何淚 停不下來
Wo que bu dong wei he lei ting bu xia lai
This song became well-known via the Taiwanese gay love drama "Make Our Days Count" which aired in late 2019. The song was heard each week at the end of each episode. The series charted the intensely romantic stories of two male couples, and (spoiler alert!) one partner in one of the couples dies suddenly and mysteriously in the final episode: thus for many viewers around the world who got hooked on the MODC, it is forever associated with Hao Ting's heartbreaking loss of Xi Gu. I myself heard Arrow Wei sing it live at a concert in Taipei on Friday 20 December 2019, in conjunction with the release of her new album 夜空裡的光. I've tried to create a singable English-language version which scans with the melody - see below. I'm still working on it ... it doesn't quite work as yet. I wrote to Arrow Wei via email - but didn't get a reply :-(
I'll never understand
I'll never understand why you had to leave, I'll never understand why I have to wait Waiting for someone to know that I need him – yet here, where it began, I wait alone.
That the sun will rise and set again, I can understand That the moon wanes and waxes, that I understand That a season comes and then goes, that too I understand So how can you leave yet never turn back?
When the blue sky and white clouds disappeared and you took your yellow trainers and red jacket away with you Then all the colours went with you too The shimmering tears fall from my eyes - they're all I have left
I'll never understand why you had to leave, I'll never understand why I have to wait Waiting for someone to know that I need him still – yet here, where it began, I wait alone.
A story changes, two can regret, two hearts can run towards two futures The one left alone will never forget and forever regret; I'll never understand why the tears don't stop
When the blue sky and white clouds disappeared and you took your yellow trainers and red jacket away with you Then all the colours went with you too The shimmering tears fall from my eyes - they're all I have left
I'll never understand why you had to leave, I'll never understand why I have to wait Waiting for someone to know that I need him – yet here, where it began, I wait alone
A story changes, two can regret, two hearts can run towards two futures The one left alone will never forget and forever regret; I'll never understand why the tears don't stop
If the sky still yearns for the sea If the stars still long for the hills If I still cling to the dreams in my story
Maybe one day I will suddenly understand Maybe one day I'll give up and wait no more Maybe love is love, and there’s no answer
I'll never understand why you had to leave, I'll never understand why I have to wait Waiting for someone to know that I need him – yet here, where it began, I wait alone
A story changes, two can regret, two hearts can run towards two futures The one left alone will never forget and forever regret; I'll never understand why the tears don't stop

ReplyDeleteI'll never understand
I'll never understand why you had to leave, I'll never understand why I have to wait
Waiting for someone to know that I need him – yet here, where it began, I wait alone.
That the sun will rise and set again, I can understand
That the moon wanes and waxes, that I understand
That a season comes and then goes, that too I understand
So how can you leave yet never turn back?
When the blue sky and white clouds disappeared
and you took your yellow trainers and red jacket away with you
Then all the colours went with you too
The shimmering tears fall from my eyes - they're all I have left
I'll never understand why you had to leave, I'll never understand why I have to wait
Waiting for someone to know that I need him still – yet here, where it began, I wait alone.
A story changes, two can regret, two hearts can run towards two futures
The one left alone will never forget and forever regret; I'll never understand why the tears don't stop
When the blue sky and white clouds disappeared
and you took your yellow trainers and red jacket away with you
Then all the colours went with you too
The shimmering tears fall from my eyes - they're all I have left
I'll never understand why you had to leave, I'll never understand why I have to wait
Waiting for someone to know that I need him – yet here, where it began, I wait alone
A story changes, two can regret, two hearts can run towards two futures
The one left alone will never forget and forever regret; I'll never understand why the tears don't stop
If the sky still yearns for the sea
If the stars still long for the hills
If I still cling to the dreams in my story
Maybe one day I will suddenly understand
Maybe one day I'll give up and wait no more
Maybe love is love, and there’s no answer
I'll never understand why you had to leave, I'll never understand why I have to wait
Waiting for someone to know that I need him – yet here, where it began, I wait alone
A story changes, two can regret, two hearts can run towards two futures
The one left alone will never forget and forever regret; I'll never understand why the tears don't stop
