TANK - 是谁 [shì shéi]
Haha, lately my posts have been quite random, lol, because I haven't had time to translate, but today I was able to translate something, ^^
This is a song from the album 3rd Round by Taiwanese singer, TANK. It is called 是谁 [shì shéi] / Who is it? The introduction of this song is actually a little bit rock-ish, haha, so I guess that piqued my interest, XD (But then again, I'm kind of a sucker for ballads as well, lol) After translating the lyrics, I was surprised at the angst, especially since I feel that the tune doesn't reflect this, ^^;; In any case, I think TANK is a musician worth listening to because he actually composes his own music, and I believe he writes some of his own lyrics, =)

original Chinese lyrics
TANK - 是谁
TANK - shì shéi
TANK - Who is it?
作词：娃娃 作曲：TANK
Zuòcí: Wáwá zuòqǔ: TANK
Lyrics: Wáwá music: TANK
是谁把这世界弄的乱糟糟
shì shéi bǎ zhè shìjiè nòng de luànzāozāo
Who turned this world into chaos?
是谁做了蠢事还在那边笑
shì shéi zuò le chǔnshì hái zài nà biān xiào
Who committed that foolish act and is still over there laughing?
是谁不停在我耳边一直吵
shì shéi bù tíng zài wǒ ěr biān yīzhí chǎo
Who is incessantly arguing in my ear?
是谁答应的事永远做不到
shì shéi dāyìng de shì yǒngyuǎn zuò bù dào
Who is the one that never keep his/her promises?
没有感觉的呼吸 没有挣扎的意义
méiyǒu gǎnjué de hūxī méiyǒu zhēngzhá de yìyì
No feeling when breathing No struggle for meaning
心里有个问题 我为谁存在
xīn li yǒu gè wèntí wǒ wèi shuí cúnzài
[My] heart has a problem - for whom do I exist?
Oh 看看你 看看我 过着什么生活
Oh kàn kàn nǐ kàn kàn wǒ guò zhe shénme shēnghuó
Oh look at you Look at me What kind of life is this?
我很想说 No 让我走
wǒ hěn xiǎng shuō No ràng wǒ zǒu
I really want to say, “No, let me go”
却又说不出口
què yòu shuō bu chūkǒu
Yet again I cannot say it
Yeh No～
是谁对我做的一切都嘲笑
shì shéi duì wǒ zuò de yīqiè dōu cháoxiào
Who makes fun of everything he/she has done to me?
是谁真的爱我真的对我好
shì shéí zhēn de ài wǒ zhēn de duì wǒ hǎo
Who truly loves me [and] is very good to me?
是谁转过头去当我的泪飚
shì shéí zhuǎn guòtóu qù dāng wǒ de lèi biāo
Who turned back to become my whirlwind of tears? 1
是谁给了我一个梦又走掉
shì shéí gěi le wǒ yīgè mèng yòu zǒu diào
Who gave me a dream then left?
如果还是会呼吸 如果还能恨自己
rúguǒ háishì huì hūxī rúguǒ hái néng hèn zìjǐ
If [you can] still breathe, if [you can] still hate yourself
大概就死不了 就算没有爱
dàgài jiù sǐ bùliǎo jiùsuàn méiyǒu ài
Probably [you] unable to die, even if [you have] no love
Oh 看看你 看看我 谁都没有快乐
Oh kàn kàn nǐ kàn kàn wǒ shuí dōu méiyǒu kuàilè
Oh look at you Look at me Neither of us have happiness
我很想说 别爱我 就是说不出口
wǒ hěn xiǎng shuō bié ài wǒ jiùshì shuō bu chūkǒu
I really want to say, “Don’t love me” But I cannot say it
我拿着没有号码可拨的电话
wǒ ná zhe méiyǒu hàomǎ kě bō de diànhuà
I hold a number that cannot be dialed
大雨还不停的一直一直落下
dàyǔ hái bù tíng de yīzhí yīzhí luòxià
The never-ending heavy rain keeps on falling
我看着天空只想要一个回答
Wǒ kàn zhe tiānkōng zhǐ xiǎng yào yīgè huídá
I look up at the sky in search of an answer
请告诉我 我不必害怕
qǐng gàosu wǒ wǒ bùbì hàipà
Please tell me that I don’t need to be afraid
T/N:
1) Ahhh, for the life of me, I can't understand what this sentence is trying to say. I see that 转过头去 means to turn back or go back, but my trouble lies in 当我的泪飚. I can't really figure out what 泪飚 means... If someone knows, please let me know. Thanks!
