A faded photograph

怀

Seems to bring me a trace of nostalgia

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Hot noodle soup sold by the old man at the alley's end

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Its aroma drifts through the old backyard

Double-click to play audio & see translation

A stray cat sleeps soundly on a swaying swing

Double-click to play audio & see translation

The sunset shines on it, its eyes half-closed

Double-click to play audio & see translation

That postcard sent by my deskmate

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Lies quietly inside the desk

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Spring is almost over

Double-click to play audio & see translation

And the door curtain carved with patterns

Double-click to play audio & see translation

On both sides of the narrow, long corridor

Double-click to play audio & see translation

The old house still sends up cooking smoke

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Just after the light rain season

Double-click to play audio & see translation

The old street my parents once walked together

Double-click to play audio & see translation

I can't recall which year, which day

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Those long yet fleeting years

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Now I can't go back

Double-click to play audio & see translation

The time that has long slipped away

Double-click to play audio & see translation

The ticket in my hand, gradually blurring

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Becomes a signal of memories

Double-click to play audio & see translation

What I can't forget, I don't even know

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Can't recall how I looked back then

Double-click to play audio & see translation

A place I can't see, can't go to

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Maybe the old street's tune is my sorrow

Double-click to play audio & see translation

The smile at the corner of my mouth grows more forced

Double-click to play audio & see translation

What I can't forget, I don't even know

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Can't let go of familiar scenes

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Looking back, so many years have passed

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Through my fingers, I gaze at the sky

Double-click to play audio & see translation

I return to that old street again

Double-click to play audio & see translation

Leaning by your side, drifting further away
