You Crossed the Sea - 妳漂洋過海

就只是過了幾個十年後的一杯酒。多說無益。

Adult Contemporary. Duet. Christopher & Charlene. That’s it.

That was the split.
I stayed on my side of the world.
I poured a glass of wine,
watched the level fall,
and suddenly the room grew wide.

Ce n’est pas du regret, c’est la physique.
這不是遺憾，只是物理定律。

Your face half lost inside the light.
At last I saw you clearly,
and the place I kept inside
went quiet enough
for me to hear the room reply.

Two seeds from the same tree.

On a compris plus tard,
我們後來才明白，

we didn’t simply trade our lives.

Nous étions chacun
我們各自都在

à mesurer jusqu’où l’âme pouvait aller.
丈量靈魂究竟能走多遠。

You’re the version of me that left.

Je suis la version de toi qui est restée.
我是那個留下來的你。

I’m the one who held the little light you left.

Tu es la route que je n’ai pas choisie.
你是那條我沒有選擇的路。

The road split open, but the roots stayed the same.
No debt, no victory, nothing left to claim.

You said you wanted

une vie plus tranquille.
一種更平靜的生活。

I nodded, looking toward my own future.
No envy, no pride.
Some answers take this many years
before they finally become clear.

You lived the life I didn’t choose.

J’ai gardé la maison que tu as dû perdre.
我守住了那個你不得不失去的家。

I kept the part of you that stayed behind.

Après toutes ces années,
過了這麼多年，

je porte encore ton nom dans le silence.
我依然在沉默裡帶著你的名字。

It’s one long breath held for decades,
finally released between us.

Tu me reconnais encore.
你依然認得我。

Et je connais toujours mon propre nom.
而我也依然知道自己是誰。

No one had to say a word.

Personne n’avait besoin de parler.
誰都不需要開口。

Same old rhythm, same tired light.

Toutes ces années, tout est enfin terminé.
這麼多年以後，一切終於結束了。

We laughed together,
a little empty, a little lost,
because there was nothing left to wait for.

You’re the me who crossed the sea.

Je suis le toi que tu étais autrefois.
我是你曾經的那個自己。

There is no way back to yesterday.

Il ne sert à rien de rembobiner le temps.
把時間倒帶，也沒有任何意義。

The ones who finally close the case
sometimes don’t know where to place their hands.

Ceux qui ont enfin tourné la page
那些終於翻過這一頁的人，

ne savent pas toujours quoi faire de leurs mains.
也不一定知道自己的雙手該做些什麼。

But we are here,
sharing the silence,
and neither of us has to disappear.

The airport changed its name.

Mais le sang n’a pas changé.
但內在沒有改變。

The air still carries both our names.
I won’t pour a second glass tonight.

Je le laisse là,
我就讓它留在那裡，

à perdre doucement sa chaleur.
讓它慢慢失去原本的溫度。

This answer found the place
where it belongs inside.
