Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

路過星街 又會突然間想起你

Passing through Star Street, I suddenly think of you

咖啡店馥郁的氣味

The rich aroma of the coffee shop

陪我幻想怎討你歡喜 極好奇

Accompanying me to imagine how to please you, I'm very curious

覓個書攤 做個偽文青討好你

Looking for a book stall, pretending to be a literary youth to charm you

貴的我反正買不起

I can't afford the expensive things anyway

開卷有新天地 廉價地攝著兩張飛

Opening a book brings new horizons, cheaply capturing two tickets

我趁有半天空檔 為你跑一趟

While I have a half-empty schedule, I'll make a trip for you

城市內永遠有寶藏

There are always treasures in the city

不夠閃 尋一所教堂

Not bright enough, searching for a church

尋一種景況 地老天荒

Looking for a situation that lasts forever

我趁有半天空檔 為你跑一趟

While I have a half-empty schedule, I'll make a trip for you

無非想吸引你眼光

I just want to catch your eye

開禮物的一剎 情歌為誰放

The moment of unwrapping a gift, which love song is playing for whom

甜笑已是答案

A sweet smile is already the answer

自製餐廳 樹蔭及微風招呼你

A homemade restaurant, shaded by trees and greeted by a gentle breeze

這款菜比較有驚喜

This dish has more surprises

天天有新口味 明確地注入我心機

Every day has a new flavor, clearly infused with my thoughts

我趁有半天空檔 為你跑一趟

While I have a half-empty schedule, I'll make a trip for you

城市內永遠有寶藏

There are always treasures in the city

不夠閃 尋一所教堂

Not bright enough, searching for a church

尋一種景況 地老天荒

Looking for a situation that lasts forever

我趁有半天空檔 為你跑一趟

While I have a half-empty schedule, I'll make a trip for you

無非想吸引你眼光

I just want to catch your eye

開禮物的一剎 情歌為誰放

The moment of unwrapping a gift, which love song is playing for whom

甜笑已是答案

A sweet smile is already the answer

太多苦惱 別太執著 去追風踢浪

Too many worries, don't be too attached, go chase the wind and waves

隨便笑 隨便叫 忘掉不爽

Laugh casually, call out casually, forget the unpleasantness

半天空檔 為你跑一趟

With a half-empty schedule, I'll make a trip for you

城市內永遠有曙光

There is always dawn in the city

等我來 人海分兩行

Wait for me, the crowd parts in two lines

紅海分兩旁 路徑多康莊

The Red Sea parts on both sides, the path is wide and smooth

有半天空檔 讓你心境開朗

With a half-empty schedule, let your heart be bright

時候到 輕輕一吻然後對望

When the time comes, a gentle kiss and then a gaze

只見繁花開了 情歌為誰繼續放

Only to see the flowers blooming, which love song continues to play for whom

甜笑已是最佳答案

A sweet smile is the best answer
