The 50s 05:15
等天色漸漸 拂過我的床 When daylight slowly brushes over my bed 等微風漸漸 把雲吹散 When wind slowly blows the clouds away 等雨水漸漸 行過水溝 When rain slowly walks through the ditch 等我的身軀 變作石頭 When my body turns into a stone 山林 溪旁 水城 花開 Forests, rivers, city of water, blossoms 散赤 好額 無變化 Poor and wealthy, remains the same 茶園 清風 半暝 火金姑 Tea plantation, breeze, midnight, fireflies 世事 青春 無變化 Age and youth, remains the same 想知道我會去哪裡 I wonder where I will go 那裡會有重生的我 where I will be reborn 想要再用紅色蠟筆 I can draw with the red crayon until then 畫那盛開的魯冰花 draw the growing wildflowers again 想知道我會去哪裡 I wonder where I will go 那裡會有重生的我 where I will be reborn 想要再用紅色蠟筆 I can draw with the red crayon until then 畫那盛開的魯冰花 draw the growing wildflowers again

Kaohsiung 05:45
一個人 看電影 睡著 Watch movies and sleep by myself 一群人 每件事 寂寥 Everything seems lonely in the crowd 他說這是高雄獨有的寂寞味道 He said this solitude can only be found in Kaohsiung 生活百般無聊 Life is full of boredom 想要完成的 該做的 丟掉 Things should be done, get rid of them 還沒有去的 該去的 不緊要 Places haven’t been to, it doesn't matter 多停幾個紅燈把一首歌品味完 Ride slow to enjoy the whole song 生活百般無聊 Life is full of boredom 羨煞他人 才華洋溢 Envy somebody’s wonderful talent 卻只把時間 留給自嘆 still indulge in self-pity 羨煞他人 深厚情感 Envy their deep connection 卻只把空間留給自己 still indulge in self-isolation 若沒有苦 哪來回甘 Sweet surely comes with bitter 誰能像我 如此呢喃 But who would mumble like I do 把窗簾拉上 忘了這座城市 Close the curtains to forget the city 有炙熱的太陽 the burning sun 用不上的冬裝 and the coats I never had a chance to wear 羨煞他人 才華洋溢 Envy somebody’s wonderful talent 卻只把時間 留給自嘆 still indulge in self-pity 羨煞他人 深厚情感 Envy their deep connection 卻只把空間留給自己 still indulge in self-isolation 擋不住的刺眼的光 The unstoppable light burns my eyes 日子像船搖搖晃晃 Days flow like a boat

溪海掠無魚 土地種無果 In the ocean there is no fish, on the land crops are dying 人出世落土 仝款歹趁食 It is hard to survive from birth to death 美麗的海岸 笑笑甲阮講 The beautiful coast told us smilingly 阮的心振動 無像我無像我 My heart is beating but nothing stays the same anymore 阿媽𤆬咱行 黃牛甲咱扶 Grandma led us, and yellow cattle supported us 樹仔借咱踏 看天地袂驚 We climbed up the tree, overlooked the world fearlessly 軟土閣深掘 屈咧袂曉行 If being pushed too far, we won’t even know who we are 窗仔內的鳥隻 飛袂振動 Birds kept behind the window just can’t fly 溪海掠無魚 土地種無果 In the ocean there is no fish, on the land crops are dying 人出世落土 仝款歹趁食 It is hard to survive from birth to death 青面獠牙 餵囡大漢 Children brought up by villains ㄧ工閣ㄧ工變化 Everything changes day after day 後代囝孫閣煩惱食穿 Our offspring would still be worried about making a living 問伊敢知影 叨位是你的厝 Ask them if they know where home is

你們的口 負責呼喊 Your mouths should be shouting 生來就不必信仰 Obedience is not in your nature 你們的耳 負責聽哪 Your ears should be listening 包含著各式的想 for all kinds of thinking 與生俱來的是質疑 Challenge is your gift 該站在哪裡 What you should stand for 失散的人們 大夢初醒 The scattered ones finally woke up 若是狂風暴雨終將來臨 If the storm is meant to come 不必哀悼 不必惋惜 Mourn not and grieve not 你們的手 負責擁抱 Your hands should be embracing 卻反之製造絕望 destroy hopes instead 你們的腳 負責穩當 Your feet should be stabilizing 卻反之將我呼吸埋葬 suffocate and bury me instead 與生俱來的是質疑 Challenge is your gift 該站在哪裡 What you should stand for 失散的人們 大夢初醒 The scattered ones finally woke up 若是狂風暴雨終將來臨 If the storm is meant to come 不必哀悼 不必惋惜 Mourn not and grieve not
