爸爸生日快樂！這首《父親》是十幾年前的老歌了。坦白說，以你現在朝氣蓬勃的精神狀態來說，唱這首歌給你似乎有些矯情，但是專門寫給父親的歌曲實在太少，所以當我找到了這首歌時，就決定是它了。希望我能成為你的驕傲、讓你不需要為我而擔心，也希望你平安、健康。
Happy birthday, Dad! “Father” is an old song from more than a decade ago. To be honest, this song doesn’t quite fit your current energetic, lively state of mind. However, there are few songs out there specifically written for fathers, so when I found out about this song, I decided to sing it for you. I hope you are proud of me and never have to worry about me. I also hope you are always safe, happy, and healthy.
《花開忘憂》| “Flowers Bloom, Forget Your Worries”
媽媽生日快樂！我去年第一次聽見這首《花開忘憂》，就深深地被打動了。這首歌向聽眾們傳達了「所有的東西可能都不會是永恆的，但愛是永恆的」——即使妳走了將近五年了，即使在妳走後世界經歷了天翻地覆的變化，我依然愛妳、依然時時想念妳。
Happy birthday, Mom! When I first heard “Flowers Bloom, Forget Your Worries” last year, I was deeply touched. This song conveys that “everything in the world may not be eternal, but love is eternal.” Although it has been almost half a decade since you left, and the world has gone through drastic changes, my love for you is eternal, and I still think of you often.
《有生之年》| “In Your Lifetime”
曉彤生日快樂！新的一年，我們要一起繼續加油，願你前程似錦，不凡此生。
Happy birthday Hsiao-Tung! In the new year, let’s march on together — I wish you a very bright future and an extraordinary life!
“Echoes of Twilight” @ Lover’s Leap | 《暮色迴響》
When I came back from Lover’s Leap this July, “Echoes of Twilight” got pushed to me by a YouTube playlist. I immediately fell in love with the melody and wanted to make a cover. I thought it would be neat to combine this with my highlights from Lover’s Leap (even though the lyrics is completely out of context).
七月中從 Lover’s Leap 攀岩回來，在家裡聽音樂時，YouTube 向我推送了這首《暮色迴響》。我一聽就愛上了它的旋律——雖然它的歌詞跟攀岩完全沒關係，但是那聲空靈的「神啊，可不可以讓我感受一下」響起的瞬間，我眼前浮現了我們先鋒攀岩時，拉著繩索沿著高聳入雲的峭壁攀登而上的畫面。我當時就想試試自己翻唱，並結合一些我在 Lover’s Leap 攀岩的回憶。
《夜空中最亮的星》| “The Brightest Star in the Night Sky”
爸爸生日快樂！謝謝你總是鼓勵我追求夢想，也謝謝你總是我夜空中最亮的那顆星。
Happy birthday Dad! Thank you for always encouraging me to chase my dreams, and for being the brightest star in my night sky.
《一葷一素》| “Mom’s Cooking”
媽媽生日快樂！這兩年，我在曉彤的影響下，學了許多毛不易的歌。這首《一葷一素》，是毛不易寫給他因為癌症過世的媽媽的歌曲。妳大概猜到了，這也是一首我一聽就破防的歌。
Happy birthday mom! Thanks to Hsiao-Tung, I have been listening to and learning many Mao Buyi’s songs in the past two years. Mao Buyi wrote “Mom’s Cooking” for his mother, who died from cancer. As you might have guessed, I broke down when I first heard this song.
《消愁》| “Drown Your Sorrows”
曉彤生日快樂！因為你，我又多學了一首毛不易的歌，哈！
Happy birthday, Hsiao-Tung! Thanks to you, I learned another song by Mao Buyi.
《白馬入蘆花》| “White Horse Among Reed Flowers”
今年初，偶然在 YouTube 的隨機播放清單聽到《白馬入蘆花》，立刻愛上了這首歌充滿畫面感的歌詞。
Earlier this year, “White Horse Among Reed Flowers” came up in my YouTube recommended playlist, and I immediately fell in love with its picturesque lyrics.
《如願》| “As Wished”
爸爸生日快樂！謝謝你一直以來的奮鬥和奉獻，為我們創造了更好的生活，我期許自己能傳承你的精神，自強不息。
Happy birthday, Dad! Thank you for all your efforts and dedication to building a better life for us — I hope I can be like you one day.
《萱草花》| “Orange Daylily”
親愛的媽媽，生日快樂！這首《萱草花》是電影《你好，李煥英》的主題曲。它的歌詞彷彿就是我的心聲，所以今年我想唱這首歌給妳。希望妳喜歡。
Happy birthday, Mom! “Orange Daylily” is the theme song for the movie “Hi, Mom.” The lyrics of this song are like the voice of my heart, so I wanted to sing it for you this year. I hope you like it.
