So, I’ve completely humiliated myself (refer to the post below, if you really need to know). So, to somehow regain my sanity and integrity, here is ‘Our Love’ and ‘Listen to the Sea’ in much better quality and accuracy.
F.I.R. - 我们的爱
My memories emerged when I reminisced my blurry childhood:
a blue sky full of flow-y clouds.
You said then, that we would go hand-in-hand,
until the end of time…
Ever since then, I’ve been afraid to glance upwards,
Scared that my sky had become colorless.
From that day on, I forgot how to breath…
And tears, would never
never flow…
Our Love…
Passed and would never return.
Even now, I am still silently waiting.
Our Love, I understand,
has already become your burden.
It’s just that I can’t ever let go,
that last warmth… that warmth which you gave me.

It’s just that I can’t ever let go,
that last warmth… that warmth which you gave me.
I don’t need to ask you if you still loved me,
Right now, I just want a sky all to myself.
Leave this choking world,
no longer alone…
Our Love…
Passed and would never return.
Even now, I am still silently waiting.
Our Love, I understand,
has already become your burden.
It’s just that I can’t ever let go,
that last warmth… that warmth which you gave me.
张惠妹 - 听海
Write a letter telling me the color of the sea today.
The sea that stays with you during the night. What are your emotions?
Gray means you won’t say, and blue is hesitation.
Yet the drifting you, with your crazed heart, stopped where?
Write a letter telling me what you want to dream about tonight.
And the me outside of your dreams, do I give you endless choices?
I clenched onto this heart, couldn’t even close my eyes this whole night.
Our affections are obvious, then why don’t you come close?
Listen…
To the sound of the crying sea.
While breathing out a sigh, and wondering who’s been heartbroken,
and not yet calmed…
Surely it’s not me; at least I’m fairly calm.
But the tears, even the tears, don’t believe in me…
Listen…
To the sound of the crying sea.
This sea truly is a bit too sensitive—
it has been crying with grief ’til dawn.
Write a letter to me, and let it be our last promise—
Expressing your emotions when you left me.
