一直很喜欢林夕的歌词和王菲的演唱，林夕的歌词隽永真切，王菲的声音冷艳飘逸，这首《红豆》则是两人的经典之作。歌词中，没有生离死别的爱情，只有相濡以沫的缠绵。也许，只有看透了风景的人，才能够淡定地维系这份感情：

还没好好的感受

雪花绽放的气候

我们一起颤抖

会更明白什么是温柔

Not until we embrace the wintry weather

with snowflakes dancing and our bodies shuddering

will we feel our throbbing hearts

and the tenderness beneath.

还没跟你牵著手

走过荒芜的沙丘

可能从此以後学会珍惜

天长和地久

Not until we walk through the desolate dune

with my hand circled by your fingers

can we keep our flame kindled

and never let it die.

有时候有时候

我会相信一切有尽头

相聚离开都有时候

没有什么会永垂不朽

Sometimes I believe an end comes at a time

time for company and time for departure.

There is a time for omega

just as there is a time for alpha.

可是我有时候

宁愿选择留恋不放手

等到风景都看透

也许你会陪我看细水长流

However, sometimes I prefer to be a nostalgist

who awaits your escort

to see the water trickling

after your return from a kaleidoscope of sights.

还没为你把红豆

熬成缠绵的伤口

然後一起分享

会更明白相思的哀愁

Not until I decoct and share with you the red beans

which have been ground incessantly the way our heart is

will we taste the sorrow of two lovelorn people

who are down, but not out.

还没好好的感受

醒著亲吻的温柔

可能在我左右

你才追求孤独的自由

Not until we are bathed in the rain of kisses

when we are awakened by the beam of sunlight

can you pursue the freedom of solitude

with me by your side.

有时候有时候

我会相信一切有尽头

相聚离开都有时候

没有什么会永垂不朽

Sometimes I believe an end comes at a time

time for company and time for departure.

There is a time for omega

just as there is a time for alpha.

可是我有时候

宁愿选择留恋不放手

等到风景都看透

也许你会陪我看细水长流

However, sometimes I prefer to be a nostalgist

who awaits your escort

to see the water trickling

after your return from a kaleidoscope of sights.

全文译毕，遥望静谧的夜空，浮想联翩：当失明的Rochester等待Jane Eyre重回怀抱的时候，他是否还会回想起爱情的惊心动魄？当老迈的Rose颤颤巍巍地将宝石掷入浩瀚的大海时，那一朵浪花会不会激起她心头的阵阵涟漪？或许，这两个看透风景的老人都在等待着陪自己看细水长流的那个人，不同的是，一个在人间；而另一个，则在天堂。
