Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a powerful way to connect with its culture, and “三生有幸” offers a beautiful entry point into Cantonese. The song's rich, emotional lyrics about love, loss, and acceptance provide a glimpse into the poetic storytelling common in Cantopop. What makes this song special is its raw sincerity, stemming from the artist's own life, which allows you to learn not just words, but the deep feelings they can convey.

[English]

Friends and family gather around, continuously asking what's happening.

After years of love, now’s the moment to bring us closer.

A wedding invitation stamped and sealed, but the one who signed is not really me.

It’s only then that your other half seems closer to you.

The newlyweds arrive, and everyone offers their congratulations.

Tonight, the two of us are here, you changing your identity.

Like inviting me to witness this moment.

You’re shedding tears, fully immersed in the joy.

Forgive me for still feeling something for you, despite everything.

Being your guest, acting as if I’m kissing you too.

Sharing past moments with you—three lifetimes, all fortunate.

If only time could turn backwards, and the story remained unfinished.

Let me spend the rest of my life with you, perfectly matching.

A moment of innocence, promises walking forward together.

The love from that time, tonight we sit apart.

Filling your desire and interest.

Yet I have no right to care.

Even pretending I’ve given up is hard to do.

Being your guest, acting as if I’m kissing you.

Sharing past moments with you—three lifetimes, all fortunate.

If only time could turn backwards, and the story remained unfinished.

Let me call out once more, that I shouldn’t wait anymore.

Clearly I know I’m not good enough, yet I can’t bear to be just an outsider.

A lifetime of regrets, yet they are my greatest fortune.

Ignoring advice, ultimately powerless to appeal.

Leaving me with an ending — not knowing how to go through with the wedding.

Watching you two kiss, bearing the weight of a lifetime of guilt.

It’s helpless to say how much I’ve wronged you over the years.

If only I could go back to the past, meet you again from the start.

Hoping I will tell you—never say goodbye again.

[Chinese]

親朋蒞臨 在旁一直在問

多年情人 天窗該拉近

或請柬有印過 扱印者終非我

才令你的他 比較親

新人來臨 在場恭賀蜜運

今晚我倆 得你 換身分

像邀請我見證

你在流涙盡興

原諒我對你也 未絕情感

做你嘉賓 當做和你擁吻

共你有過過去 三世都有幸

若光陰會倒轉 故事情分未斷

讓我再次與你 共度餘生 合襯

一時純情 諾言一同前行

當年情人 今晚坐不近

在充撐你興致

卻無權利在意

連扮作已放棄 都不太肯

做你嘉賓 當做和你擁吻

共你有過過去 三世都有幸

若光陰會倒轉 故事情分未斷

讓我再次叫我 不該再等

明明自問未夠好 只可惜不甘當個外人

一世輪迴遺憾是我一生的幸運

自己不聽勸告 最後無力上訴

而令我有個結 不懂 去婚

負了一生 看著誰倆擁吻

無奈説到對你 早太多愧憾

若可返到過去 若能重頭遇見

期望我會對你 永不講 再見
