Face / Leem

(composed by Faye Wong, lyrics by Lin Xi, translated by Ming Chuen)

Breathing is your face
someone old but still alive
your curves are spreading
thinking back in time slowly
the ever-changing shorelines
changing times, situation
sprouts the most beautiful but sad daffodils
may be referring to some very beautiful but ill-fated woman
climbing over your face
trying to unfold parts of someone's memory or past
unexpectedly continuous
difficulty in unfolding or recalling something
on the left side of your face
at a particular point of time in the past
I got stuck
I couldn't continue recalling
I continue to take the risk
I continue to recall the past
although it may be a sad memory or difficult thing to do
let there be none who can understand my words
for there's only you who can hear my thoughts
refers to a close friend who understands my thoughts without me revealing
you're silent, and I said nothing
same meaning as above
telepathy between 2 close friends
not only a little bit of sweat
referring to a person with many problems or woes
has your eyebrow touch the darken skies
giving a person opportunity to express his/her woes
come, revitalize my seas and fields
come, console me
your every face is my every year
we meet only once in a year
it has been a long time since we last met
self-explanatory
smoking, abstract eyes
thinking of a person's face and smoking at the same time 
raining, making me unable to fall asleep
self-explanatory
bit by bit it settles down and accumulates
slowly recalling the person's face
my wrinkles are in your smiling face
finally the two old friends meet
smiling at each other
revealing their wrinkles
