微涼的你
陳綺貞 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

迎著微微的風像微微的你
在我不經意的時候掀起一陣漣漪

躲著涼涼的雨像涼涼的你
偶爾捎來消息將我整天灼熱的思緒撫平
在夜裡在黎明
融化我凝結的心

擁抱一陣微涼的風
心的空隙任你來去
我睜大了眼睛
找尋不到你

飄散的髮留住了你
微笑的臉卻來不及溫習你的吻
回憶才是你唯一的痕跡
迎著微微的風像微微的你
在我不經意的時候掀起一陣漣漪

躲著涼涼的雨像涼涼的你
偶爾捎來消息將我整天灼熱的思緒撫平
在夜裡在黎明
融化我凝結的心

擁抱一陣微涼的風
心的空隙任你來去
我睜大了眼睛
找尋不到你

飄散的髮留住了你
微笑的臉卻來不及溫習你的吻
回憶才是你唯一的痕跡

擁抱一陣微涼的風
心的空隙任你來去
我睜大了眼睛
找尋不到你

飄散的髮留住了你

微笑的臉卻來不及溫習你的吻
回憶才是你唯一的痕跡

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 陳綺貞's song 微涼的你 are poetic and emotional, describing the singer's longing for a person who has gone away. The song employs natural metaphors to express the singer's emotions; the wind and the rain are used to represent the person they miss. The song opens with the singer describing the wind as being like the person they miss - subtle and soothing. The wind 'lifts a ripple' within them, suggesting that thoughts of the person stir up memories and emotions within the singer that they cannot control.

The next verse describes how the rain represents the missed person's coolness. Yet, despite their distance, the person still sends messages that soothe the singer's turbulent thoughts. The singer longs for the person, even in the night or the dawn, when their memories begin to flood their mind. The chorus expresses the singer's yearning, hoping for the same soothing effect that the person brought to their life before they left. However, unlike the wind or the rain, they cannot find or hold onto the person they miss. All they can do is hold onto memories of them - memories that are like their only trace.
