Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

誰話求學全為了考試

Who's saying studying is only for exams?

我和你覺得 總不止

I think you and I both know it’s more than that

如 孖寶上落堂

Like best friends going to class together

在談為何勁憎中史

Discussing why history can be so hated

未來未來就約好了

The future, yes, our future, is already booked

跟你跟我理想衝刺

You and I chasing our dreams side by side

要 戴四方帽畢業時

When we graduate, we’ll wear these square caps

手拖手合照

Taking a hand-in-hand photo

誰料他 於天空降落

Who knew he would fall from the sky

似要拆散我跟你

Seems like he wants to tear us apart

為何突然兩顆心 在顧忌

Why suddenly do our hearts feel guarded

同學們全部 也在笑

All the classmates are laughing too

暗戀他這秘密 誰泄漏了

Who leaked our secret crush on him

每位都將我跟你 相比較

Everyone compares me and you

謠言滿天飛 沒禮貌

Rumors flying everywhere, so rude

我心裡 亂跳

My heart is pounding fast

再多中英數問題 不記得思考

No matter how many English or math questions, I can't think straight

在打唥鐘這一秒

In this very moment, as the bell rings

誰情願為了戀愛事 嗌大交

Who’s willing to argue over love worries?

提及他 不講真說話

Talking about him, but not being honest

你我都藏頭露尾

You and I are hiding our feelings

為何突然兩顆心 互妒忌

Why suddenly are our hearts jealous of each other

而同學每天 也在笑

And every day, classmates are still laughing

暗戀他這秘密 誰泄漏了

Who leaked our secret crush on him

每位都將我跟你 相比較

Everyone compares me and you

謠言滿天飛 沒禮貌

Rumors flying everywhere, so rude

我心裡 亂跳

My heart is pounding fast

再多中英數問題 不記得思考

No matter how many English or math questions, I can't think straight

在打唥鐘這一秒

In this moment, as the bell rings

情和義在兩邊開考

Love and loyalty are being tested on both sides

告別了 我覺得整個校園 塌下了 (一秒間 可摧毀所有)

Quietly saying goodbye, I feel the entire campus collapses

告別了 我覺得整個校園 塌下了 (一個他 是否早有預謀)

Saying goodbye, I feel the whole school is falling apart

放榜當天很想你 可倚靠 (一個他 是否早有預謀)

Did he plan this all along?

放榜當天很想你 可倚靠 (終於放榜 這以後)

On graduation day, I miss you so much, I lean on what's left

明年你我他 亦轉校 (我們 便會分手)

Finally graduation day is here, what’s next after all this?

那天 約定了 (天各一方 Kong U CU)

Next year, you, me, and him might transfer schools

會否冰釋似舊時 (天各一方 Kong U CU)

That day, we made a promise

跟你講餐飽 (理大 城大)

Will we forget the past like old times?

劇終於四方帽裡

Talking about us having meals together

連同餘下半點幼稚

The ending is in this square cap

向上拋

Along with the remaining innocence

我跟你疫情下再相見

Throwing it up high

四年也苦等這一天

Meeting you again during hard times

你 重疊於口罩的臉

Four years of waiting for this day

願能踏前望清一點

Your face behind the mask, so familiar

奈何突然淚已攻佔

I wish I could look a little clearer

一個擁抱來罷戰

But suddenly, tears flood my eyes

笑 戴四方帽畢業時

Let's have one last hug and settle the score

手拖手在笑

Smiling, wearing the square cap, graduation day

成全這一張

Holding hands and smiling together

合照

Sealing this moment with a photo
