Old Times
-- Song by Xiaojuan + Residents From the Valley
Lyricist & composer: Li Ziheng
Arranger: Wang Yumin
Translated by Yiyan Han (c) 2021-11-02
The sky perfect blue, old times like mist drifting before your eyes
Silent eyes, tell me if you still love my past
In my dreams you and your sweet tender look
The old days recall and happy times like slow moving clouds
Am I still kept in your promise
The white cloud high, at your window my longing like a movie on display
A lonely window, please open my heart locked as the time passed by
In my thoughts, your love tender heart and a song of promise
The old days recall and happy times like slow moving clouds
Am I still kept in your memories
Letβs count the changing dreams from the day one
Many years later, is there still a face of tender sweet
Letβs look the changed world from the day one
Is it possible to go back and restart
Repeat the first stanza
Repeat the third stanza
Repeat the first stanza

Restarts are like unicorns, but a lovely thought.Β
Impossible in most cases, and better be kept in memories ;) Kind regards and hope you stay strong.
So true same to you.Β
Hi Yiyan,
what a delicately played song. When she started to sing, her tone in her voice made me think of a band called βThe Carpentersβ then it took off into its own sublime, dream like loveliness. Really pretty to listen to. Thanks for the translation. Again the lyrics are very dreamy, like a nostalgic heart, grasping at the ghosts of a love long gone.
BEAUTIFULΒ

Thank you very much Gwen. Her voice is soft and sweet, yes with a taste of sadness andΒ nostalgic. The group's 2nd song sang in the album isΒ SiΓΊil a RΓΊn -- I enjoy very much the Irish magic. Regards.
Song is a universal language of love.
I have also recorded a Dutch Song, glad I already speak, write, and understand the language,. I just love the melody and the message....
I love this song. It brings back memories from the past.
I love her voice.Β
