愛的故事上集 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

• By: 孫耀威

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

星的光點點灑於午夜

Stars’ light sprinkle over midnight

人人開開心心說說故事

Everyone happily telling stories

偏篇今宵所想講不太易

Tonight’s thoughts are hard to express

遲緩地望你想說又復遲緩

Slowly I watch you, wanting to say, but again slow

秋風將湧起的某夜

One night when the autumn breeze rises

遺留她的窗邊有個故事

Left behind her window holds a story

孤單單的小伙子不顧寂寞

A lonely young man ignores his solitude

徘徊樹下直至天際露月兒

Loitering under the trees until the moon appears

冬風吹走幾多個月夜

Winter winds blow away many nights

為何窗邊的她欠缺注視

Why does she at the window lack attention

刻於窗扉小子寫的愛慕字

Love notes etched on the window by the boy

完全沒用像個飄散夢兒

Are like drifting dreams, completely useless

今宵的小伙子傾吐憾事

Tonight’s young man pours out his regrets

誰人癡癡的要再聽故事

Who’s the fool still wanting to hear the story again

偏偏癡心小子只知道上集

But foolish young hearts only know the first part

祈求下集是個可愛夢兒

Hope the next chapter is a lovely dream

知不知對你牽上萬縷愛意

Do you know how many love feelings I’ve tied to you

每晚也痛心空費盡心思

Every night I ache, wasting all my heart on you

這小子欲斷難斷這故事

This boy’s story is impossible to end

全為我愛上你偏偏你不知

All because I fell in love with you, yet you don’t know

(全為我愛上你偏偏你不知)

(All because I fell in love with you, yet you don’t know)

春風輕吹點點火花襯月夜

Spring breeze lightly ignites sparks under the moonlit night

人人開開心心說說故事

Everyone happily telling stories

終於傾出這小子的故事

Finally, I share this young man’s story

長年累月為你怎再自持

Years gone by, how can I still hold myself back for you

今宵知否對你的暗示

Tonight, do you realize my hints

為何真的將它當故事

Why do I treat this as just a story

知不知每晚想你十次百次

Do you know I think of you ten or a hundred times every night

每晚也去等 因我極心癡

Every night I wait because I’m deeply infatuated

可不可合力延續這故事

Can we work together to prolong this story

延續這片愛意一生倆相依

Keep this love alive, two souls depend on each other for a lifetime
