我到底做錯甚麼? What did I do wrong?

我到底做错什么
倒霉的事总是找上我
我觉得我的人还算不错
可是机会为何总是躲避我

What did I do wrong
Why do bad things always happen to me
I consider myself quite a good person
But why do opportunities always elude me

 

我到底做错什么
好事仿佛都轮不到我
怎么别人都比我快乐
我在说什么你懂不懂

What did I do wrong
Why do good things not come to me
Why are others happier than me
Do you understand what I am saying

 

我到底做错什么
失败挫折一波波
何时才会停止
怎样才算受够

What did I do wrong
Failures and defeats keep coming
When will they stop
What is considered enough

 

我到底做错什么
你为何保持一贯的沉默
为何不把答案告诉我
我还有很多话要说

What did I do wrong
Why do You maintain Your silence
Why are You not giving me any answer
I still have a lot to say

 

暂停思索
无奈抬头
却见你沉默的温柔
依然深情的望着我

I pause a moment
Lifting my head helplessly
But I see Your quiet gentleness
Gazing at me with eyes deep with love

 

霎那间我发现
原来我已拥有那最好的
你。。。从来没离开常抱怨的我
我。。。
到底做对什么

Suddenly I realize
I already have the best there is
You… have never left the always complaining me
What did I do… right

 

**与一个很有才华的有人交谈时有感而发。。。他喜欢我写的东西,说过要合作,可是他几个月前回天家了。。。
**Inspired by my conversation with a very talented friend… he loved my writing, we talked about working together, but few months ago he had gone back to be with the Lord…

 

袮还在路口等着我。。。 Still Waiting For Me At The Junction…

 

/
( Road to the Grand Canyon, USA )

 

林義忠詩歌創作
GT Lim’s composition (November 14th, 1988, Christchurch, NZ.)

祢还在路口等着我
( Still Waiting For Me At The Junction )

一步一步在这路上行走,有好多次感到疲惫软弱
但我不要停步 不想逗留,因为在路上有祢牵着我的手

不管路途多艰苦我也不要停步
因为有我的主伴我左右
有什么能代替这种幸福
永远有我的主伴我左右

可是为何啊我的主,每次走到交叉路口的时候
祢说走向左我偏去右,愚昧,、糊涂的选择走自己的路

放开祢的手走向自己的方向
路途怎么却越来越昏暗
这路原来领向无底的绝望
但却听到祢说回头是岸

我便往回走,身体充满伤口
眼前却看到祢伸出祢的手
祢还在路口等着我

我还没走到的时候,祢已跑向我
紧紧的抱住我说,祢爱我
我眼泪直流,惭愧的没有话好说
祢竟然还如此爱着我

Step by step I walk on this journey
There are many times I feel weary and weak
But I will not stop nor linger
For along the journey, You will be there to hold my hand

No matter how tough the journey is I will not give up
Because my Lord is always there beside me
Nothing can replace this happiness that I have
To have the Lord beside me forever

But why is it, O Lord
Each time when I reach a crossroads
When You tell me to go left, I will choose to go right
Foolishly and ignorantly I would choose to go my own way

Letting go of Your hand to walk my own direction
Why then is the journey getting darker and darker
Realizing this road leads to unending hopelessness
But to hear Your voice calling me to turn back to the right path

So I turn back with a wounded body
There ahead of me I see You stretching out Your hand
You are still there waiting for me at the junction

Before I could reach, You are already running towards me
Holding me tightly to say You love me
My tears roll down and I am too ashamed to say anything
How could You still love me so much

 

 

 

卧室的秘密。。。 Bedroom secrets…

卧室应该是每个人最隐私的地方吧?那你的卧室里又隐藏了什么秘密呢?又或你喜欢自己的卧室吗?为什么?
今天就来跟你分享卧室的秘密。。。那当然是我自己的房间啦,自己的“秘密”当然自己有权“泄露”,但别人的秘密,除非他们允许或不介意,要不然我们可不该随便透露哦!

Bedrooms must be the most private place for every individual. Are there any secrets hidden in your bedroom? Or do you like your bedroom at all? Why?
Today I am going to share some bedroom secrets with you… that of course is my own bedroom, anyone has the right to reveal his own “secrets”, but as for other people’s secrets, unless they allow it or they do not mind, otherwise we must not simply reveal!

 

我想每个人都会想拥有自己的卧室或房间吧?但不是每个人都有那个福分的,尤其是家庭成员多,又住在有限的空间里。。。
所以倘或你现在拥有自己的房间,就好好珍惜、感恩,以及善于使用吧。。。

从一个人的卧室大概可以看出一个人的个性、兴趣、习惯啦,等等。。。
房间的摆设、整齐、脏乱、收藏的东西等等,都可透露你的秘密。
若在没预警之下,有人要参观你的卧室,你会许可吗?当然基于很私人,或有贵重物件,或怕人弄脏等等,我们大可拒绝;但有些人不敢给人看房间的原因是因为太凌乱、肮脏、懒惰整理、或会破坏形象等等。。。若是如此,那就要自我检讨了!

I believe everyoe would love to have his own bedroom but not everyone is blessed with such, especially when you have a big family and live in places where space is limited…
So if right now  you do have your own room, you had better treasure it and be thankful and make the best use of it…

From a person’s bedroom you can kind of figure out his personality, interests, habits etc…
The decoration, tidiness, cleanliness, things collected etc could reveal your secrets.
If without prior notice someone wants to visit your bedroom, would you allow? Of course we can rightfully refuse for privacy reason, or there are valuables or for hygiene, etc; but dome people do not dare to show people their room because it is too messy, dirty, or they are too lazy to tidy their room or for fear of spoiling their reputation… if so, then we would have to examine ourselves!

 

至于我,我一向来都蛮为自己的卧室感自豪,不是如今罢了。。。我想因为我有整理床铺的习惯,也喜欢装饰房间的原因吧?
以前在纽西兰求学,朋友来访时也多数在自己房间聊天,因为客厅不是个人使用。
在纽西兰,我们都穿鞋子到房间里,起初很不习惯,久了也不觉得脏了!

As for me, all along I am quite proud of my own bedroom, not just now… Perhaps it is because I have the habit to make my my bed and I have always liked to decorate my room?
When I was studying in New Zealand, when friends visited, we mostly used the bedroom to chit chat too because the lounge was not for personal use.
In New Zealand we wore the shoes to the room, initially I was not used to that but after a while I did not feel it was that dirty afterall!

 

我喜欢把床放在窗门边,喜欢阳光照射进来的感觉,尤其是那边天气寒冷。。。
这是我最后一年,回国之前的房间,确实充满回忆。。。

I liked to put my bed next to the window, liked the feeling of the sun shining in especially when the climate there was cold…
This was my room in my final year before I came back to Malaysia…

 

当时喜欢粘东西在墙壁上当装饰,好像有点“超过”,哈哈!
芦苇是外面采回来的。。。
有没有注意到墙壁上的书法?那是爸爸在我出国前亲手写给我的勉励的话,那是不善于表达感情的他向我表达他的爱和关心,至今我还收藏着。。。

Used to like to stick things on the wall as decoration, kind fo a bit over-decorated, haha!
The reeds were cut from outside…
Did you notice the Chinese caligraphy on the wall? Those were written by my dad personally and given to me before I came to New Zealand to study, that was my non-expressive dad’s way of expressing his love for me, I kept the writings till this day…

 

墙上的装饰也会改变,因为久了也会腻。
以前很喜欢中国画,不说你不知,我的很多中国画是古晋Akimedia的董事之一Mr. Ng画的,他是我就读古晋市镇中学时最好的朋友。。。

The decor on the wall would change too, otherwise would be too boring after a while…
I used to like Chinese paintings a lot. You would never know if I do not say it, almost all my Chinese paintings were the work of one of the directors of Akimedia in Kuching, Mr. Ng. He was my best friend when I was studying at Kuching Town Secondary School…

 

我其中最快乐的时刻就是能在房间里自弹自唱,我可是一发不可收拾,一唱就可以唱几个小时,自己乐在其中,完全不理会隔壁房的是否已被折磨到吐血。。。
One of my happiest moments would be to play the guitar and sing by myself in my room. It would be hard to stop once I started and I could indulge myself for hours without considering whether my neighbour was already vomitting blood by such torture…

 

这是我在纽西兰第一间自己的房间,那时大学一年级。。。
你看那个发型。。。

This is my first personal bedroom in New Zealand, that was also my first year at university…
Look at that hairstyle…

 

在这里住几年,我选择最小的房间因为这样冬天比较不冷,我没钱买好的热气机。
后来房东也有改善房子。
我也是在这房间里写出我第一首和早期的创作,墙壁的中国画就是Mr. Ng画的,他真的很有才华!

I lived there for quite a few years, I chose the smallest room so it was not that cold in winter and I could not afford a good heater.
The landlord did improve on the house too later.
This was the room where I wrote my first and earliest songs. The Chinese paintings on the wall are all the work of Mr. Ng, he is really talented!

 

如今我的房间当然非常不一样了,我当然也非常喜欢,感谢上帝的赐福和恩典。。。
这就是我卧室的一点“小秘密”,对不起没什么惊天动地,你们很失望吧?哈哈。。。

Today my bedroom is of course very different and of course I love it very much, thank God for His blessing and grace…
These are some “little secrets” of my bedroom, sorry nothing very dramatic and shocking, guess you are very disappointed? Haha…
