第一次聽到這首歌是在實習醫生裡，當時覺得旋律很動人，在youtube查到歌名，每天不停反覆地聽，歌詞蠻悲傷的。今天偶然又聽到了，查了一下翻譯的中文歌詞，都不太合我的意，從以前我就偏好盡量忠於原文，不加入個人主觀的翻譯（也因此以前翻譯課上，我的作業常被被評價為無趣生硬，汗），所以才想自己翻，但是好險有其他人的翻譯，減少很多我看不懂的地方，不然多年沒碰英文，我應該會頭疼到死。歌名我實在想不出好的翻譯，只能先直譯了，哪天如果靈光乍現的話再來修改。
邊翻的時候邊罵自己，光德文自己就搞不定了，許多功課堆在書桌旁邊還沒開始做，居然想不開地花時間來翻譯英文歌。但是翻譯完這首歌，居然心情好了很多，以後心情不好時就來翻譯一首喜歡的歌好了
