Home's so far

After that infinite post from last time, today we have just one song, 家太远了 | Jiā tài yuǎnliao (should be yuǎnle, but the singer always sings liao instead of le, so…), "Home is so far", which I met probably at the start of September 2013, and translated way later in the early afternoon of Jan 24 2018. Let's see!


风      太大了
难道只是为了
吹干眼泪
雨      太急了
仿佛真是为了
洗去哀伤
山      太高了
难道只因早已
无处可躲
河      太宽了
仿佛注定永远
无法渡过

*鲜血浸透了土地
也开不出花
永远短暂如彩虹
抓也抓不住

#我们没有家
我们没有家
孤儿是我们的名字
回家是梦里的呼唤
我们没有家
我们没有家
孤儿是我们的名字
回家是梦里的呼唤#
太远了      我们的家

家      太远了
难道只是因为时间
因为距离
梦      太长了
仿佛只是为了绝望
为了逃避
死      太多了
难道真是为了仇恨
为了生存
爱      太短了
仿佛只是为了分别
为了回忆





#(高一个全音)
太远了      我们的家

Tài yuǎnliao      wǒmen de jiā



Wind      is too strong
Is it really just to
Blow all tears dry?
Rain      is so quick
Looks like that's only to
Wash sadness off
Mountains      are so high
Is it just 'cause they have
Nowhere to hide?
Rivers      are so wide
Looks like you never will
Wade your way through

* Fresh blood's soaking the dark soil
So flowers can't bloom
Things as fleeting as rainbows
Never can be grasped

# We don't have a home
We don't have a home
We bear the title of orphans
And we all dream to return home
We don't have a home
We don't have a home
We bear the title of orphans
And we all dream to return home #
Oh how far      our houses are

Home      is so far
Is it only because of time,
Because of distance?
Dreams      are so long
Seems it's only 'cause of despair,
To run away
Deaths      are so many
Is it only because of hate,
And to survive?
Love      is so short
Looks like it's only for to part,
For memories

# (1 tone higher)
Oh how far      our houses are
