Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

曾經攀上的天梯 曾經擁抱的身體

Once I climbed the ladders to the sky, once I embraced my body

曾經在乎一切 被突然摧毀

Once I cared about everything, only to be suddenly shattered

剎那比沙更細

And a moment feels finer than sand

良夜美景沒原因出了軌

Beautiful nights went off track for no reason

來讓我知一切皆可放低

Let me realize everything can be let go

還是百載未逢的美麗

Still, it’s a rare beauty I haven’t seen in a hundred years

得到過又猝逝 也有一種智慧

What I had and suddenly lost, there’s a kind of wisdom in that

全年度有幾多首歌 給天天的播

Throughout the year, how many songs are played every day

給你最愉快的消磨

To give you the most joyful distraction

流行是一首窩心的歌 突然間說過就過

Pop music is a heartwarming song, gone in a moment after being spoken

誰曾是你這一首歌 你記不清楚

Who once was your song, you can't quite remember

我看著你離座

I see you get up and leave your seat

真高興給你愛護過 根本你不欠我甚麼

So happy to have loved you, you owe me nothing at all

曾經擁有的春季 曾經走過的谷底

Spring I once had, valleys I once crossed

人生是場輕梯 忽高也忽低 不輸氣勢

Life is like a light ladder, sometimes high, sometimes low, but never losing momentum

我看著你離座

I see you get up and leave your seat

很高興因你燦爛過 高峰過總會有下坡

Very glad to have shone because of you, peaks always give way to slopes

回憶裝滿的抽屜 時光機裏的光輝

A drawer filled with memories, the brilliance in the time machine

人生艷如花卉 但限時美麗 一覽始終無遺

Life blooms like flowers, beautiful but fleeting, a view forever unforgotten

回望昨天劇場深不見底

Looking back, yesterday’s theater feels bottomless

還是有幾幕曾好好發揮

Still, some scenes were well performed

還願我懂下臺的美藝 鞠躬了就退位

I wish I understood the beauty of stepping down, bowing out gracefully

起碼得到敬禮

At least earning a bow of respect

誰又妄想一曲一世 讓人忠心到底

Who dreams that one song lasts a lifetime, inspiring loyalty to the very end
