Leaving no traces

Talking about parting grief and in particular partners suddenly disappearing, we have 落山风 | lo̍h-suann-hong, "Wind down the mountains", a Min song I met back in summer 2012 and translated (very poorly considering I had no Min dictionary back then) shortly after finding it, and retranslated recently, in the afternoon of Dec 19 2017. I translated it:

1. To English, with a manuscript found on the printout of the 28/7 file and dated to 11/8/12 by the intro; the differences between this and the mistranslation on the left below are:
   
   1. «I of course remecall my past», which after starting a "remember" realizes it won't fit and ends up with the below version;
   2. «close» in place of «soft» in l. 4, which gets "fixed" by the 18/8/12 file;
   3. «Came and went wiṯ no sign», which also gets changed in the 18/8 file;
   4. The line «You want to go without leaving a thing», and was only translated on 16/8 as per mega-intro;
   5. «Listen to m Show þt U hear me, please», which interestingly starts like the newer version, then can't figure out how to end it and slips into the older one;
   6. «Where will I droppin’ nostalgia go?».
   Writing this draft on Jan 7 2018, I concluded that 那是, translated "of course" on character basis, was actually 若是, "if", adapted to the tune as "every time" (unfortunately I lost the screenshots from this period, and from 17/12 all the way to like March, so I cannot be more precise); 15:04 17/4/21 «Adding sadness to my heart» becomes what it is now; «the result of this, plus a revision I cannot date but which was probably done while drafting the post, is the left-hand revised version», well now I can date it! It's in the self-chat; more specifically, 19/12/17 16:25 we have the whole revised text, with «Cruel man cruel man poktsinglong / ??» in place of ll. 7-8 and «…» in place of the first three lines, then at 16:29 we get l. 8 and at 16:31 we finish off l. 7;
   It is from these messages that FTN20 seems to start its rework:
   
   1. This is shown in a screenshot from 0:30:25 on 26/12/17;
   2. By 0:31:25, we have the FTN20 version below up to the poktsinglong line, where "poktsinglong ??" is selected and ready to be retouched; same situation 3 seconds later;
   3. At 0:31:38, we're about to linebreak before "Ah wind from the mounts";
   4. By 13:33:51 we're at the next rework in the note, so that's it I guess.
   But wait, what about ll. 1-2? Ah, drafting date. So FTN20 is the famous "revision I cannot date".
2. To English again, as a rhyming remake, starting with ll. 1-2 «Reminiscing of my past / Makes my heart grow sad fast» on 3/5/22 at 19:55 (but previous versions of these lines were at 19:39 and 19:41), then completing it on 7/5/22 between 3:19 and 3:47; this gives the version on the right side; well, almost: after realizing that Loh-suann-hong is the standard name for monsoons that blow at sunset in Taiwan, I decided to implement that in the English version; I only got around to doing that on 23/8/22, changing «wind that down mountains blows» to the below version at 12:15, then «Feelings cold like wind that down mountains blows» to «My heart feels as though a monsoon in it blows» at 12:17 and to the below version at 12:18;
3. To Chinese, 3/5/22 19:48-19:52, with a tweak the following day;
4. To Italian at 20:55-21:04 and 21:11-21:17 of 12/5/22, completing the two "Bô-tsîng lâng" couplets at 21:55 and with a tweak that night at 2:58; the choice between «Nel mio cuor un vento impetuoso ho» and the below version is made at 1:22 on 27/8/22; both lines were present, one below the other, screwing up the lineup;
5. To French with two lines at 22:33 on 12/5/22, one of which tweaked at 2:52 that night, and the rest at 13:12-13:22 on 13/5/22, with a tweak at 13:19 on 14/5/22.

The Min spelling is as in this post. Let's go!

You've made my smiles no more last. I feel like a monsoon in my heart blows. Cruel man cruel man, you changed fast! Came out the blue, left naught to last. Cruel man cruel man, fickle man: Without talking, away you ran! Ah… Monsoon that downwards blows Please, listen to my words: Such remembering for me no use now knows!

Écoute c'que j'veux te dire: La nostalgie à quoi peut-elle me servir?
