They say that if a song is impressive enough, it succeeds in making itself sound new to you no matter how many times you have heard it. For me, this song by Jay Chou works and it brings me different feelings I hear it once or twice a month since 2006.
东风破
The ancient melody
周杰伦
一盏离愁孤灯伫立在窗口
Time for goodbye
A lamp solo
Stands beside the window
我在门后假装你人还没走
I stay behind
The doorway alone
Pretending that you haven't been gone
旧地如重游月圆更寂寞
I linger round the place we used to meet
The full moon I witness
Makes me even lonely
夜半清醒的烛火不忍苛责我
Candle awake in midnight
Fails to go harsh on me
一壶漂泊浪迹天涯难入喉
A pot of wine
With memory of drifter
It's unfriendly to my throat
你走之后酒暖回忆思念瘦
I am left behind
Drinking warms my heart up
Making yearning for you
Not too hard to swallow
水向东流时间怎么偷
River on its way to the east
Will never cease
花开就一次成熟我却错过
How could I turn back time
To see the blossom that I've missed
谁在用琵琶弹奏一曲东风破
Who plays the Pipa impressively
The ancient melody
岁月在墙上剥落看见小时候
Time peels off against the wall
I see my childhood overall
犹记得那年我们都还很年幼
We were still young and naive
At the age of four or three
而如今琴声幽幽我的等候你没听过
But now the tweedle comes to me
You never heard of it
Nor knew that you are the one I miss
谁在用琵琶弹奏一曲东风破
Who plays the Pipa impressively
The ancient melody
枫叶将故事染色结局我看透
Maples turn red from yellow
When I see the ending through
篱笆外的古道我牵着你走过
Outside the fence lies the old road
I used to take your hand
And walk you through
荒烟漫草的年头就连分手都很沉默
In the age lorn and bleak
Silence seals as the final signet of break up
一壶漂泊浪迹天涯难入喉
A pot of wine
With memory of drifter
It's unfriendly to my throat
你走之后酒暖回忆思念瘦
I am left behind
Drinking warms my heart up
Making yearning for you
Not too hard to swallow
水向东流时间怎么偷
River on its way to the east
Will never cease
花开就一次成熟我却错过
How could I turn back time
To see the blossom that I've missed
谁在用琵琶弹奏一曲东风破
Who plays the Pipa impressively
The ancient melody
岁月在墙上剥落看见小时候
Time peels off against the wall
I see my childhood overall
犹记得那年我们都还很年幼
We were still young and naive
At the age of four or three
而如今琴声幽幽我的等候你没听过

Nor knew that you are the one I miss
谁在用琵琶弹奏一曲东风破
