Driftwood

Aggie Hsieh feat. William Wei, 2013

The last song from the soundtrack of the film Upside Down

English Translation

Where was I planning to go?

Which direction was I originally facing?

How did I end up here?

Holding on with my last breath, my bedraggled appearance,

Lying with you on the beach.

The lighthouse still lights up the scene.

The clouds scatter, the wave recedes.

The dream awakes, but the fever has not broken.

I didn’t even know you were stranded.

But you still have my embrace.

I was going to go to many places,

I was going to go with the flow to see many scenes far away.

How would I know that leaving the earth,

Leaving home, would mean being burned by the ocean waves?

Lying with you on the beach.

The lighthouse still lights up the scene.

The clouds scatter, the wave recedes.

The dream awakes, but the fever has not broken.

I didn’t even know you were stranded.

But you still have my embrace.

The clouds scatter, the wave recedes.

The dream awakes, but the fever has not broken.

I didn’t even know you were stranded.

But you still have my embrace.

You still have my embrace.

Chinese Lyrics

本来要去什么地方

本来要往什么方向 眺望

怎么沦落这个地方

苟延残喘狼狈不堪 模样

陪着你躺在沙滩上

灯塔还兀自照亮

云散了 浪退潮

梦醒了 却没退烧

就连你搁浅了也不知道

但你还有我的拥抱

本来要去很多地方

本来顺着憧憬看向远方

怎么知道离开土壤

离开家乡却被海浪灼伤

陪着你躺在沙滩上

灯塔还兀自照亮

云散了 浪退潮

梦醒了 却没退烧

就连你搁浅了也不知道

但你还有我的拥抱

云散了 浪退潮

梦醒了 却没退烧

就连你搁浅了也不知道

但你还有我的拥抱

你还有我的拥抱
