雨 午夜裡刷洗窗台
玻璃背後 就像從未望到將來
絲絲記憶 千張相片重複地連載
灰飛遍地 就像碎片不眠衝擊滄海

這生匆匆 命裡總操縱著我那個
到最終只開花結果偏不出果
怕再錯失只好上鎖

若我學懂微笑 到後來得到至少苦笑
笑世間太多玄妙 在最終也棄置中忘掉
在途上散布證物纏繞
景遷過萬樣事亦不重要
往事如煙 世俗煩囂 不如不知不曉

看 往日已葬花水流
今天以後 就像殘象盡不可留
當初顫抖 今天已經靈活像垂柳
喧嘩過後 落幕半生生存的一雙手

這生匆匆 命裡總操縱著我那個
到最終只開花結果偏不出果
怕再錯失只好上鎖

若我學懂微笑 到後來得到至少苦笑
笑世間太多玄妙 在最終也棄置中忘掉
在途上散布證物纏繞




景遷過萬樣事亦不重要
往事如煙 世俗煩囂 不如不知不曉

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Annette's song "Where are you?" portray a sense of longing and reflection. The rainy midnight scene described in the first verse serves as a metaphor for the uncertainty and unpredictability of the future. The continuous repetition of memories through countless photographs suggests a feeling of being stuck in a cycle, unable to move forward. The scattered fragments symbolize the relentless impact of life's challenges.


The following verse exhibits a resignation to the controlling power of fate. Despite the desire to bloom and achieve meaningful outcomes, there is a fear of missing out and making mistakes, prompting the decision to lock oneself away. The singer contemplates the bittersweet nature of learning to smile, as it often leads to disguising the pain and mysteries of the world. Ultimately, they choose to discard and forget these complexities in order to find peace in ignorance, escaping the noise of the mundane and superficial aspects of life.


The second verse shifts the focus to the passage of time and the transience of beauty and emotions. The past is portrayed as a buried flower swept away by the flowing water, while the present is likened to a decaying remnant. The vulnerability felt in the beginning has transformed into adaptability, resembling the flexibility of a willow tree. The noise and chaos have subsided, leaving behind a pair of hands that have endured the ups and downs of life.

雨 午夜裡刷洗窗台
In the rain, I scrub the windowsill in the middle of the night


玻璃背後 就像從未望到將來
Behind the glass, it feels like I've never seen the future


絲絲記憶 千張相片重複地連載
Thread by thread, memories replay in a thousand photos


灰飛遍地 就像碎片不眠衝擊滄海
Ashes scattered, like sleepless fragments crashing into the boundless sea


這生匆匆 命裡總操縱著我那個
This hurried life is always controlling the one inside me


到最終只開花結果偏不出果
In the end, it only blossoms but never bears fruit


怕再錯失只好上鎖
Afraid of missing out again, I lock myself up


若我學懂微笑 到後來得到至少苦笑
If I learn to smile, in the end, I only manage a bitter smile


笑世間太多玄妙 在最終也棄置中忘掉
Laughing at the mysteries of the world, but eventually forgetting them


在途上散布證物纏繞
Along the way, evidence entangles


景遷過萬樣事亦不重要
The changing scenery makes everything insignificant


往事如煙 世俗煩囂 不如不知不曉
Past events are like smoke, it's better not to know about the worldly noise


看 往日已葬花水流
Look, the flowers of the past have already been buried by the flowing water


今天以後 就像殘象盡不可留
After today, it's like the remnants cannot be preserved


當初顫抖 今天已經靈活像垂柳
Once trembling, today I have become flexible like a willow


喧嘩過後 落幕半生生存的一雙手
After the clamor, the hands of half a lifetime's existence are silently downcast

Every time you hold me I know it's real

My heart once told me how it would feel

Why
Just like you told me
Why
Each time you hold me

Why
Because your you

Every time I'm near you stars from the sky

Some how appear to me shine in your eyes

Why
They just appear to

Why
Each time I'm near you

Why
Because you're you

Every time we kiss now it's plain to see

I'm sure of this now you're meant for me

Why
So sure of this now

Why
Each time we kiss now

Why
Because you're you
Because you're you
Because you're you

This has always been my favorite duet. I know they were just acting, but I always thought if a girl would ever look at me like that, I'd never let her go. Rest in Peace, Annette, we will never let you go.

@rogerthornehill

This is the sweetest songs from any of the "Beach Party" films. Annette sang it on one LP that is difficult to find, and VERY expensive if you're lucky enough to locate one. The record company has put out several Annette hit albums, but are not smart enough to have included this song which was one of her very best. How beautful and lovely was Annette. Thanks so much for posting this version.

@nightmaretomb5294

The record versions of the songs tend to be very different from the movie versions. Usually the movie version was better.

@naomimaggiora5810
