鼓浪屿之破 / Island waves breaking

鼓浪屿之破

鼓浪屿四周海茫茫
阳光满溢人都忘光
记意弯湾云海苍藏
故事迷乱鼓动波浪
旺船靠潮无安全港
渴望却抛双方和谈
骨肉情长岛伤更长
歌听不进断怎能还

Island waves breaking

The waters surrounding 鼓浪屿 find no corner, no shore in sight, swimming with sunlight that leaves people wanton without want, full of forgetting. Memory winds and meaning twists around the bay, while dark clouds hide the brooding sea away. A good story catches audiences in its net, stirring up wave after wave in its stormy drumbeat. Rising tides raise rising boats, yet still they float asea without a harbor to home. Longing cannot hold a relationship together when abandoned talks fall apart. They say blood is thick and love is long, but the island’s wounds are longer. If music falls on deaf ears, once a song breaks, how can it ever return?
