Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

一起相聚

Gathering together

一起鬥咀

Bickering together

一起經歷壯舉

Experiencing great deeds together

到哪裡始終你我緊隨

Wherever we go, you and I always stay close

一起等待

Waiting together

一起喝采

Cheering together

一起經歷時間的比賽

Experiencing the race against time together

哪用感慨

No need to lament

誰像你我 未說出口 (藏在眼中 只得你望到-)

Who's like you and me, unspoken (Hidden in our eyes, only you can see-)

亦聽得到

Can also hear it

困惑也許 未必解得到

The confusion, maybe can't be solved

卻令我知道 總會變好

But it lets me know it will always get better

沿途高低伴我走過

Walking through the highs and lows with me along the way

同考驗與消磨

Sharing trials and tribulations

假使我 疑惑過

If I ever doubted

你看透我竟比我多

You see through me even more than I do

如不安伴你經過便能硬朗

If I'm with you through unease, I can be strong

We are one and all

We are one and all

從不分你跟我

Never separating you and me

...

...

一刻感動 一起抱擁

Moments of emotion, hugging together

一刻騷動 誰熱烈跟從

Moments of commotion, who passionately follows

回味片段各種 總使我動容

Reminiscing about all kinds of moments always touches me

那熱血的說話 還熱烘

Those passionate words are still warm

...

...

沿途高低伴我走過

Walking through the highs and lows with me along the way

同考驗與消磨

Sharing trials and tribulations

假使我 難受過

If I ever felt bad

你看透我竟比我多

You see through me even more than I do

如不安 伴你經過 便能硬朗

If I'm with you through unease, I can be strong

We are one and all

We are one and all

你共我 對或錯

You and I, right or wrong

直說的 或過火

Directly saying or going too far

甚麼都可相對 才是叫一夥

Anything can be faced together, that's what you call a team

我看到是你

I see you

從你看到是我

I see myself through you

彼此不說仍清楚

We understand each other even without speaking

沿途高低伴我走過

Walking through the highs and lows with me along the way

難得是你跟我

It's rare to have you and me

交手過 磨合過

Sparring, compromising

你卻較我 體恤更多

Yet you are more considerate than I am

如光影伴我於 每夜同張望 (給我 一點點星光)

Like light and shadow, watching together every night (Give me a little starlight)

明天怎麼到訪

How will tomorrow arrive?

這空間裡 仍不只我一個

In this space, I'm still not alone

We are one and all

We are one and all

從不只我一個

I'm never alone

...

Key Grammar Structures

• 到哪裡始終你我緊隨

  ➔ Adverbial Phrase of Place + Subject + Adverb + Subject + Verb (Inversion)

  ➔ The structure "到哪裡" (to where) acts as an adverbial phrase of place. "始終" (always) is an adverb. The usual order would be "你我始終緊隨", but the inversion emphasizes "到哪裡".

• 未說出口 (藏在眼中 只得你望到-)

  ➔ Verb + Complement (potential complement)

  ➔ "望到" (wang dao) is a potential complement meaning 'able to see/be seen'. Potential complements indicate whether an action is possible or not.

• 困惑也許 未必解得到

  ➔ Adjective + Adverb + Adverb + Verb + Complement (potential complement)

  ➔ "解得到" (jie de dao) is another potential complement, meaning 'able to be solved'. "未必" (weibi) means 'not necessarily'. It shows the uncertainty about whether the confusion can be resolved.

• 你看透我竟比我多

  ➔ Verb + Complement (resultative complement) + Subject + Adverb + Comparative structure

  ➔ "看透" (kan tou) is a resultative complement, meaning 'to see through, understand completely'. The comparative structure is "比我多" (bi wo duo), meaning 'more than me'. The adverb "竟" (jing) adds emphasis, meaning 'unexpectedly'.

• 甚麼都可相對 才是叫一夥

  ➔ Pronoun + Adverb + Auxiliary Verb + Verb + Subject + 才 + Linking Verb + Noun

  ➔ "甚麼都可相對" (shenme dou ke xiangdui) means 'everything can be faced together'. "才" (cai) emphasizes that *only* facing everything together is what defines being a group. "是叫一夥" (shi jiao yi huo) means 'is called a group'.

• 我看到是你 從你看到是我

  ➔ Subject + Verb + 是 + Subject 從 + Subject + Verb + 是 + Subject (Emphasis using 是)

  ➔ This couplet uses the structure "是" (shi, to be) to emphasize the subject being described. In the first line, "是我看到的是你" is rearranged to be "我看到是你" for poetic brevity, effectively saying "It is you that I see." The second line similarly emphasizes "是我" by stating "從你看到是我", meaning "From you, it is me that I see."

• 如光影伴我於 每夜同張望 (給我 一點點星光)

  ➔ Conditional Clause (如) + Subject + Prepositional Phrase (於) + Time Phrase + Verb Phrase

  ➔ The sentence begins with "如" (ru), indicating a conditional clause meaning 'if' or 'like'. "於 每夜" (yu mei ye) is a prepositional phrase indicating 'in every night'. "同張望" (tong zhangwang) means 'look together'. The optional clause "(給我 一點點星光)" (gei wo yi dian dian xingguang), meaning 'give me a little starlight', adds to the hopeful tone of the verse.
