I Fear / Ngor Pa

(composed by Alex San, lyrics by Lin Xi, translated by Thomas X. Lo)

I fear of the coming of the day when we say goodbye
You and I have already dissipated into rocks full of cracks
Also fearful of the day when I can kiss your wrinkles
Rather believe that the world has immortality
 
I fear to see that changing kind look in your eyes
Also fearful of loving you to a point where it numbs my soul
Even more fearful of finding myself alone every night
Impossible to depend on darkness to remember your voice
 
*Wish I can bless, the arrival of every dream
 In dreams I can feel the warmth of your embrace
 Wish you can bless, the lover in deep sleep
 In dreams our worlds can be pulled even closer together*
 
I fear to longingly remember this person forever
Even more fearful that seeing you will submerge me within an illusion
Most fearful of your hair being fully covered with wind and dust
Unless this world has immortality
 
Once again hear and see you say you really love me
I fear that I will foolishly mistake someone else for you
Also fearful that in the distance lies that finely crumbled piano
That freely allows me to mistake your voice within mesmerizing dreams
