One Song a Day - Italian Story 意大利的故事. Chinese translation and song link below.
•
A simple love letter kind of song, I wrote primarily in English in northern Italy, everything was simple and direct. It was during a wedding party I went to in a little mountain town called Barga, where I would take short excursions everyday, taking public transport here and there, watching the world go by while collecting words that floated in the air. It might appear to be too plain and simple, but why not?

Italian Story
(Chet Lam)
•
From the Florence sun to the Venice moon
On and on I travel
Without you, the road is too long
Time is too slow
•
The sunflowers long for the light of the day
Reaching for something that’s so far away
To the sun they grow
To the only one they know
•
Save some sunshine, I ask the angels
For someone waiting home
I've tasted Lucca, I've savoured Rome
But I'd trade my freedom
For you and me to be close
•
You are the water of my river
You are the sun in my cathedral
You are the youth of my fountain
You are the knight of my castle
•
Questions are written in the stars
Answers are hidden on the road
Stories are the first victory of my quest
You are the last piece of my puzzle

我常用三種語言創作，什麼時候國語，什麼時候粵語，什麼時候英文，完全取決於我創作時即時想到的是那一種語言；這首歌在意大利北部的山城小鎮Barga用英語創作，先有文字，後有旋律；有些文字跟意思，換作中文就會顯得怪怪的，相反亦然；《意大利的故事》一切都來得很直接，生命已經怎樣也不夠長，可能有時就是需要這麽直接。

意大利的故事
（曲詞：林一峰）
•
從佛羅倫斯的太陽
到威尼斯的月亮
我一路前行
沒有你 路太長 時間太慢
•
太陽花盼望著日光
希望觸到遙遠的東西
只向著太陽生長
那是它們唯一知道的方向
•
我向我的天使祈禱
保守在等著誰回家的人
我嚐過路卡 我呫過羅馬
但我願以我的自由
換取我們能一起
•
你是我河流裡的水
你是我教堂裡的陽光
你是我泉源的生命力
你是我城堡裡的騎士
問題寫在夜星之間
答案隱藏在路途中
故事是我征途上第一份禮物
你是我故事裡最後一塊拼圖
