Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a powerful way to connect with its culture and emotions. 'What If You Are a Good Person' by Terence Lam offers a beautiful opportunity to explore the nuances of Cantonese. The song's introspective lyrics about trust and relationships can help you learn vocabulary related to feelings and social interactions. Its gentle melody and clear vocals make it easier to follow along and appreciate the poetic nature of the language in a way that is both touching and memorable.

[English]

投緣便約會 交際也很正常

然而別交心 心會傷

和同事晚飯 有下場

我笑著退場

唱K都一個回家唱

朋友像你 朦朧已甚美 不必太親近

朋友像我 如城府太深 是怕又淪陷

自他背叛 我便吝嗇信任

僅有的知己 亦禁止走太近

朋友像你 朦朧已甚美 不必太親近

朋友像我 如城府太深 是怕又淪陷

自他背叛 我便吝嗇信任

給割走的心 哪天方可再生

朋友像你 仍然愛護我 本應我福份

無理像我 為何他錯的 找他人洩憤

萬一你最後是個好人

婉拒你的好 會否今生更暗

投緣便約會 不要再三怯場

還能動真心 先會傷

和誰漸變熟 變好友

我怕但我想

情願賭輸再來休養

萬中之一 盼能 遇上
