夏日香氣

The following are the lyrics of a song sung by Cheer Chen (陳綺貞).

The Meaning of Travelling (旅行的意義)

You've seen lots of pretty scenery; you've seen many pretty ladies,
You've been briefly mesmerized by every spot on the map.

You've savored the Paris night; you've trodden on the Beijing snow,
You've fondly memorized every single word of truth in books.

However, you couldn't speak out why you loved me and what expression I've had to fascinate you,
At what occasion I've had you entranced, and the reason that you left me.


You've experienced lots of flights; you've picked souvenirs carefully,
You've gathered every single nice, sunny weather from the map.

You've embraced the passionate island; you've buried the memories of Turkey,
You've lingered around the unrealistic scenes of fancy movies.

However, you couldn't explain why you loved me and how you've admired my expressions,
At what event I've had you distracted, and the meaning of travelling.


Even though you've reluctantly said the reason why you loved me; you couldn't tell me in what expression you adored me,
And at what moment I've made you distracted; you couldn't explain the reason why you left me.


Even if you've reluctantly explained it, even if you said that you sent every single letter for me; they are all just the reasons you left me.
You left me; that's the meaning of travelling.
