一個人的行李 ~ Penny Dai
December 16, 2007, feeling .
Not really sure how or when I came across this song, but it was one of those that I do not play much and had thought of deleting at one point (honestly, I think with media being so *ahem* easily accessible nowadays, people - or maybe just me - take them for granted and don't appreciate them so much anymore =/
Anyhoo~ I really like this song, love its carefree rhtym and so self-affirming lyrics. It's a song about contentment and independence and quietly going on (and enjoying) one's way!

※ I'm free(一個人的行李) 詞曲: Penny
心情好or心情壞 有什麼好假裝
反正天若真的塌下來 我自己扛
天氣好or天氣壞 有什麼好緊張
反正下一秒鐘的我 開始 開始流浪
我要一個人去東京鐵塔看夜景
我要一個人去威尼斯看電影
我要一個人去陽明山上看海芋 拍偶像劇
我要一個人去紐約純粹看雪景
我要一個人去巴黎喝咖啡寫信
我要一個人的旅行 一個人透透氣
向右轉or向左拐 有什麼不一樣
反正每一條未知的路 都有未來
我和誰在談戀愛 有什麼大驚小怪
反正下一秒鐘的我 早已 早已離開
我要一個人在希臘門前蘇格拉底
我要一個人的通宵看完魯迅的背影
我要一個人呆呆的在浴缸裡 思考阮玲玉
我要一個人的北京探望孟姜女
我要一個人的書局和志摩談情
我要一個人的旅行 一個人徹底
心情好or心情壞 有什麼好假裝
一個人的旅行 一個人的行李
一個人的旅行 一個人的空氣
一個人的旅行 一個人到底
My translation:
One Person's Luggage, lyrics by Penny Dai
Whether I'm in a good mood or a bad mood, what's there to pretend about?
Anyway, if the sky really did fall down, I would hold it up myself
Whether the weather's good or the weather's bad, what's there to be anxious about?
Anyway, the me residing in the next second will begin, begin wandering
I want to go by myself to the Tokyo Tower to look at the night scene
I want to go by myself to Venice and watch films
I want to go by myself to the top of Yanming Mountain and see the arums film idol dramas
I want to go by myself to New York and simply see the snowing scenery
I want to go by myself to Paris, drinking coffee and writing letters
I want to go on one person's travels, and take a breath
Turning right or swinging left, what's the difference?
Anyway, every road that hasn't been taken yet has a future
Who I fall in love with, what's there to make a fuss of?
Anyway, the me residing in the next second would have already departed early, early on
I want to go by myself to Greece and meet Socrates
I want to spend by myself the whole night watching Lu Xun's silhouette
I want to sit by myself in the bathtub dazedly contemplating Ruan Ling Yu
I want to go to by myself Beijing and look for the Meng Jiang Nu
I want to go by myself to a bookstore and talk to Zhi Ma about love
I want to go on one person's travels, just one person
Whether I'm in a good mood or a bad mood, what's there to pretend about?
One person's travels, one person's luggage
One person's travels, one person's air
One person's travels, just one person to the end
