Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

明天開始 要係咁咦

Starting tomorrow, it will be like this

大家都不過是蚊滋

Everyone is just a tiny flea

面對世界 扮傻癡癡

Facing the world, pretending to be silly

情愛嘅嘢 求其餐蛋治

Love and passion, just a quick snack and cure

夢想縮番細 隨便啲

Dreams shrink back, just go with the flow

甚麼都睇淡 重好啲

See everything lightly, better that way

明星之嘛 唔識張栢芝

Being a star, I don’t know Zhang Baizhi

樹蔭下吹風攤吊椅

Under the shade, enjoy the breeze and swing in the hammock

幻想係莊子睇報紙

Fantasies are like Zhuangzi reading the newspaper

甚麼甚麼都小意思

All things are insignificant

笑一笑 我無言靜止

Smile a little, I remain silent and still

我 OK 冇事

I'm okay, nothing's wrong

放鬆拗肚臍

Relax and twist your belly button

把千斤重化做 全部薄過紙

Transform a thousand pounds into something thinner than paper

放輕苦惱事

Lighten my worries

大到火星咁大 當係粉刺

Big enough to be like Mars, just a pimple

負到灰盡 當閒事

Negativity gone, treat it as trivial

...

...

瑜伽 呼吸 能集中啲

Yoga breathing to concentrate more

提早熄燈瞓 健康啲

Go to bed early, stay healthy

靜靜抄經 平靜一啲

Quietly recite the scriptures, find calm

龍脊 放假行 唔諗公事

Climb Longji, take a walk, don’t think about work

浴室高歌 紅日一支

Sing loudly in the bathroom, reveal your true self

達哥星仔 笑大聲啲

Dago, Starboy, laugh louder

其他之嘛 艾東喼雅斯

Others, like Ai Dong, Josie Yates

樹蔭下吹風攤吊椅

Under the shade, enjoy the breeze and swing in the hammock

幻想係莊子睇報紙

Fantasies are like Zhuangzi reading the newspaper

甚麼甚麼都小意思

All things are insignificant

笑一笑 我無言靜止

Smile a little, I remain silent and still

我 OK 冇事

I'm okay, nothing's wrong

放鬆拗肚臍

Relax and twist your belly button

把千斤重化做 全部薄過紙

Transform a thousand pounds into something thinner than paper

放輕苦惱事

Lighten my worries

大到火星咁大 當係粉刺

Big enough to be like Mars, just a pimple

沒有精力幹傻事

No energy to do silly things

越懶得理那堅持

The more I Lazy to insist

越快找到那鎖匙

The faster I find that key

面對焦躁 恐慌 著件

Face anxiety, panic, and worry

至輕至薄防毒衣

Use the lightest, thinnest protective gear

會 OK 冇事

It’ll be okay, nothing’s wrong

有心不怕遲

With a willing heart, no fear of delay

把千斤重化做 全部薄過紙

Transform a thousand pounds into something thinner than paper

放輕苦惱事

Lighten my worries

大到火星咁大 當係粉刺

Big enough to be like Mars, just a pimple

塵啊微塵 我法號塵大師

Dust, tiny dust, I call myself Dust Master

我 OK 冇事

I'm okay, nothing's wrong

再分享致詞

Sharing words again

把千斤重化做 全部薄過紙

Transform a thousand pounds into something thinner than paper

放輕所有事

Let go of everything

大到火星咁大 當係粉刺

Big enough to be like Mars, just a pimple

願每一日更容易

Wishing every day becomes easier

...

...
