My dear two readers ;-)
After quite a looong abstinence from this blog, I'm back! Meanwhile I have spent some time with music, especially of my favourite band 蘇打綠 (苏打绿, Sūdálǜ, Sodagreen), and since I have not found the translation of their songtexts anywhere yet, I started to translate them (I'll also be posting more Sudokus sometime).
Here is the first songtext, with a link to the video below. Hope you also enjoy it! Any comments on where I might have gone wrong with the translation would be highly appreciated.
