Talking and listening in life

When one grows old,
he should talk less, listen more.

But in reverse, 
most of the people growing old would 
talk more, listen less.

When two old persons chat together,
the chat usually results in 
becoming a quarrel,
with both sides complaining the other side on
talking too much, 
and listening too little.

日劇「勿說是推理」主題曲
「Chameleon」(變色龍)by King Gnu

我想知道
它不會實現
你的真實身份是
迷宮般的
一個難以捉摸的謎
思想改變,顏色改變
是什麼輕輕地改變了它的外觀
悲傷的黃昏
我不認識的你是誰?
一輛特快列車駛過
一陣風吹過廢棄的月台。
我到處都找不到你
時間過去後出現在通話畫面的你
你是我不再認識的人了。
因為你笑得很開心
我太累了,我也笑了。
喜歡多少次都可以
喜歡多少次都可以

骯髒的悲傷
從上面塗上白色油漆
毀掉一切
就連我丟掉它的那個晚上
畫布是彩色的
淚水滲出,傾盆大雨
和你在我的記憶裡
你們兩個現在都是真的
你色彩鮮豔
我已經不知道什麼顏色了
喜歡多少次都可以
喜歡多少次都可以

現在適合你
它是什麼顏色並不重要
我想傳達的這種感覺
即使那也不會實現
如果你這麼說,
那隻是簡單的虛張聲勢
即使我不在你身邊
我想知道
不匹配
你的真實身份是
迷宮般的
一個難以捉摸的謎
思想改變,顏色改變
是什麼輕輕地改變了它的外觀
悲傷的黃昏
我不認識的你是誰?

Thoughts become remote

Thoughts become remote due to distance,
Luckily, I still feel them beautiful before I forget.

思念因距離變得遙遠,
幸好在忘懷前仍覺美麗。


動畫《陰陽師》片尾歌 - 日本ao - kioku 記憶


The darkness burns quietly and the moon shines on you

the darkness burns quietly

I'm sure the moon will shine on you

I guess I had this thought as well.

I look back at the past again

The breath I let out is weak

But the feeling is still expanding

The small weight quickly disappears

Maybe I can't help it

What I knew but couldn't say

Even what you said to me

Even if you can't see it now

It was dull

Like a gentle sound swaying

Connect your will and don't let go

The life that will surely scatter

I want to end it with you

But the darkness quietly snatches me away

Thoughts and distance become far away

I don't have to worry about this anymore.

Even my thoughts look beautiful

Ah, ah

闇が静かに燃える月が貴方を照らす

闇が静かに燃える

月が貴方を照らすきっと

こんな想いもあったのねと

また過去と見つめ合う

抜ける息は弱く

だが未だ膨らむ感覚

小さな重みはすぐになくなって

仕方ないのかもな

気づいてたけど言えなかったこと

私に言い聞かせたことさえも

今は目に見えなくとも

鈍くふりかかった

優しい音が揺れるように

意志を繋いで離さないでよ

きっと散りゆく生命を

貴方と共に終わりたいのよ

でも闇が静かに攫う

想いも距離も遠くなる

もうここでは心配しなくていいよ と

思うことさえ綺麗に映る

Ah, ah

Lou Reed - Perfect Day

 A simple life deliberately chosen,

it’s no longer a simple life,

From there, there is rich daily living。




Lou Reed - Perfect Day

Just a perfect day
Drink sangria in the park
And then later, when it gets dark
We go home

Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie, too
And then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun

Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
Someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

If change is made - Emmy The Great - Trellick Tower

Our many behaviours are 
based on some established beliefs,

It can be a belief in religion;

Confidence in professional knowledge, etc.

When beliefs change,

The behaviour will also change accordingly.

These new behaviours may affect 
the previously established relationships with others:

The job may be dismissed;

The relationship may be terminated, etc.

And it is difficult to restore.



Emmy The Great - Trellick Tower


You propelled yourself into the arms of God
And Christ and all the angels,
Now you're high above the people
Who you used to call your equals.
I will stay behind and live this life
You left me as a witness who
Can tidy up your business and
Record that someone lived here
In the shade of Trellick Tower
In those days of living gently
Something holy used to love me
Something holy used to touch me
Then he heard the voice I couldn't hear
He's gone to where it sent him
And now I'm praying for this pain to clear
He's waiting on ascension.

And now I'm praying but there's still no change
You're high as Trellick Tower
Throw your hair down when you let me spend
My life trying to climb you
And I'm praying till my knees don't fold
Praying till my hands don't close
Praying till my fingers close

And you've propelled yourself into the arms of God
And Christ and all the saints,
Now I've been walking through our house like
separation made it sacred.
I've been burying the books you left
I treat them like they're ancient
And I think relics ache for when the saint had breath
They miss the thing that changed them

And I'm a relic and you're so, so high
You're high as Trellick Tower
Throw your hair down when you let me spend
My life trying to climb you
And praying till my knees don't fold
Praying till my hands don't close
Praying till my fingers close

And in the shade of Trellick Tower
I spent a while trying to keep you
Tell all the people moving on, "hey,
Hey, something holy used to live here."
Now I'm a relic of a life gone by,
Kneeling to address the sky
And I'll keep praying till the binds untie
Praying but I don't know why
And I'll keep praying till the binds untie
Praying but I don't know why
Oh, I'll pray until the language dies,
Praying 'cos you're so, so high,
Can I spend my life trying to climb you?


很多行為,

是基於某些既定信念,

可以是對宗教的信仰;

對專業知識的信心等。

當信念、信仰有改變,

行為也會相應改變。

這些新行為可能會影響與他人在以前已建立的關係:

工作可能會被辭退;

戀情可能會被終止等。

而它很難復元。

Spiderman in the Spiderman World

When you are the only Spiderman in the world,
you need to conceal your 
Spiderman identity from others. 
Otherwise, you will be treated as 
an outcast as a Spiderman.

When you are one of the Spidermen 
in the Spiderman world, 

you do not need to conceal your 
Spiderman identity from others.
Otherwise, you will be treated as 
an outcast as a non-Spiderman.

But in a Spiderman world, 
Spidermen share some common things.
You will be treated as 
an outcast as a non-Spiderman 
if you cannot share their common things

Get along well with each other before this world ends

It is quite rare that a pair of partners can have 
the same outlook towards life.

It is much more rare that they can have 
the same outlook towards death.

If they can have the same outlook towards 
life and death, 
they can get along well with each other 
before their world ends.

___________


In 《Come Come Everybody》which is the 105th morning Japanese series drama of the NHK station, the theme song (AI - Aldebaran(畢宿五恆星))
tenderly reminds all that 
they should get along well with 
their beloved partner : 
“Can we get along well with each other, 
before this world ends? ”。




AI唱的Aldebaran(畢宿五恆星)

君きみと私わたしは仲良なかよくなれるかな
你和我能好好相處嗎

この世界せかいが終おわるその前まえに
在這個世界終結之前

きっといつか儚はかなく枯かれる花はな
總有一天定會像短暫就枯萎的花朵

今いま、私わたしの出来できうる全すべてを
現在,我能做到的一切

笑わらって笑わらって 愛いとしい人ひと
笑一個 笑一個 做個可愛的人

不穏ふおんな未来みらいに 手てを叩たたいて
向險惡的未來拍拍手

君きみと君きみの大切たいせつな人ひとが幸しあわせであるそのために
你和最重要的你都是幸福的 為了這個目的

祈いのりながら sing a song
我一邊祈禱一邊唱歌

見上みあげてごらん煌きらめくアルデバランあるでばらん
抬頭看看閃耀的畢宿五恆星(Aldebaran)

溢あふれてくる涙なみだの理由わけを
對其訴說將流下眼淚的理由

またこうして笑わらって会あえるから
還會這樣笑著見面

ただ魂たましいの赴おもむく方ほうへ
只是向著靈魂前往的方向

紡つむいで紡つむいだ 心こころの糸いと
編織而成的心弦

ペテンぺてんな時代じだいに 負まけないように
為了不輸給騙人的時代

もしも君きみが不確ふたしかな明日あすに心こころ震ふるわせているのなら
如果你被不確定的明天內心顫抖

私わたしだってそうよ friend
我也是如此 friend

会あえない時ときの静寂せいじゃくが
見不到你時覺得寂靜

永遠えいえんにも思おもえる夜よる
永遠也能想到的夜晚

その孤独こどくに互たがいの愛あいを知しるの
在那孤獨中明白彼此的愛

だから 笑わらって笑わらって 愛いとしい人ひと
所以 笑一個 笑一個 做個可愛的人

不穏ふおんな未来みらいに 手てを叩たたいて
向險惡的未來拍拍手

君きみと君きみの大切たいせつな人ひとが幸しあわせであるそのために
你和最重要的你都是幸福的 為了這個目的

Afterglow - Masaki Kawsaki - afterglow

 

Dusk is always good,
sunset is very beautiful.
But afterglow is always fading quickly.
Sometimes its backlight turns bright,
yet it always darkens even faster.
This makes people feel depressed much more .

Love to watch the afterglow,
but only her brilliant brief,
refusing to look at its last moment.


Chinese Translation

黃昏總是好看,
夕陽又很醉人,
但餘暉多會快速淡暗下去;
就算它也有時會迴光一亮,
但跟著會突然暗黑,
更令人心情沉落。

愛看黃昏夕陽,
但祗看她燦爛的段落,
不看餘暉的最後一瞬。


Masaki Kawsaki - afterglow
