"Wet dog perfume" - dialed up the podcast "Tales to terrify" on my iPhone while walking Katalin this evening around midnight and this story came on.

I find it sweet yet abit disturbing...reminds me somehow of these lyrics - it's from a song called "Sleeping beauty" in Chinese so excuse my rough translation:

I see you again at midnight, thru the mist
I pass a intoxicating vision of spirit...
There's no way to see you again, once I wake
everything goes wrong, I find our ocean of passion to
have frozen over...
夜半再相見 迷霧裡繾綣
長夜夢中有過 
動魄迷人片段
沒法再相見 
一醒了完全逆轉
就似夢裡面 熾熱愛海變冰川

Why would I fear loneliness? The fairytale
princess has been living a lie for a 100 years,
All I can say is pining for you is just expecting nothing...
沉睡中的主角 怎會怕寂寞
童話中的主角 
一百年躺臥
埋在心底的愛慕 
能否跟你透露
期待你 只是 虛無

I would totally write a song about this story though - if I knew how LOL

I love the poetry of "Sleeping Beauty," or at least your translation. Don't apologize for that translation! It's a difficult enough task, and to do it and retain the rhythm and . . . poetry of it!

I'd love to hear it, if there's a link to an audio/video of it.

Thanks alot Renee! Yeah it is difficult - loses abit of it's feeling in English but I tried to retain as much of it's original essence as possible. Don't think you'll like the song though - it's very pop/mainstream. It's lyrics are really sweet and deep though.

In dreams, a kiss is enough to stir up my heart;
In waking, it's a pity we can't be together.
Indulging in a moment of contact...that in another will vanish...
Already makes me happy....

夢內傾心一吻就算心動
現實可惜不配與你相擁
沉溺 於一刻的接觸
哪管即將結束 已經滿足
