感受 杜甫 在經歷戰亂、晚年與老友重逢時有感而發,衛八處士是唐代詩人杜甫的少年好友,排行第八,當時隱居不仕。當時正值「安史之亂」,社會動盪,百姓流離失所。杜甫在華州司功參軍任上,因公事經過奉先,順道拜訪了老友.衛八處士.二十年前,對方尚未成家;如今重逢,已是兒女成群,讓詩人內心充滿感慨。

中文歌詞-段落結構
[Verse 1]        
Is life but        
a pair of stars that never meet        
You guard the moon        
I chase the sun all the way        
How long can twenty years be        
That a youth's face        
overnight        
grows over with frost        
        
Pushing open the door        
Your child greets me with ‘Hello, Uncle’        
That voice        
Like a tender little knife        
In your moist eyes        
I find long-lost solace        
When I ask of old friends        
You fall silent, only lifting your gaze to the hillside        
        
[Chorus]        
No more talk        
Of who's suffered        
More these years        
Tonight's candlelight        
Illuminates only Our mutual courage        
This reunion tonight        
Absurd as a phantasm        
Ten cups won't drown        
         
The wound fate branded Deep within my heart        
        
I sing out loud        
Until my throat is parched  Rough and burning (Oh—)        
My hair frosted white        
Yet I pretend  It doesn't hurt        
Who cares about tomorrow        
If we'll just  Turn and scatter again        
Mountains stand between us        
And the vast sea of people  Blocks the way        
        
[Verse 2]        
If back then        
Someone had said just one more word  Don't be so stubborn        
Would today        
Find us sitting  At the same table        
You said        
Some names  Must be buried  In the soil        
In that instant        
I heard  The sorrow deep within my soul        
        
Dishes on the table        
One by one, they grow  warm then cold        
You say        
First, drink this cup  before we speak        
Your hand        
Still trembles  as it always did        
Laughing, laughing        
Tears just  keep welling up        
        
[Chorus]        
Don't ask        
Who's endured        
The harsher years        
Tonight's candlelight        
Only reflects        
Our stubbornness        
This reunion        
Seems fate's illusion        
Ten cups won't shatter        
The weight etched        
Into our bones        
With frost upon my head        
Still trying to look like a youth        
Who cares about tomorrow        
If we drift apart again        
Separated by mountains        
And the vast sea of people Pushes us back        
        
[Bridge]        
If you're still alive        
Remember each year        
At this time        
Light a lamp for me        
If I still remember        
I'll also in a foreign land        
Shut out the clamour        
and recall only tonight's candlelight        
        
[Chorus]        
Don't count        
who lost more bitterly        
in this life        
Tonight's candlelight        
holds enough warmth        
for this fleeting meeting        
Fearing only an empty bowl        
when I awaken        
Ten cups won't bring back        
         
the faces time has taken        
        
I'll sing one last time        
Sing until my voice  fades to echoes (Oh—)        
My hair frosted white        
Temporarily rests  upon your shoulder        
Who cares about tomorrow        
If we must  set sail apart once more        
Across the mountain ranges        
Please light a flame for me  deep within your heart        
        
If you  still live        
Remember each year  at this time        
To recall our  candlelight tonight
