Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

快一些

Hurry up

今生我想活快些

I want to live faster in this life

只想快一些

Just want to be faster

收工歸去 沒不捨

Finish work and go home, no regret

快一些

Hurry up

想衰老速度快些

Want to age faster

煙酒買多些

Buy more cigarettes and alcohol

不要護膚 不要信 瑜伽那些

Don’t skincare, don’t trust yoga

不要睡覺 硬撐直到深夜 月亮已斜

Don’t sleep, force yourself through until late at night, the moon has tilted

可不可以沒禮拜六 沒禮拜日 又一周

Can there be no Saturday, no Sunday, another week gone

講真我沒有你後 沒有節目 沒好友

Honestly, without you, no shows, no friends

長命假使似個毒咒 何必給我再賀壽

If longevity is like a curse, then why celebrate my birthday?

日子想快快活 早一些退休

I want to live happily and retire early

可不可以沒有假日 沒有節日 別公休

Can there be no holidays, no special days, no days off

身體已沒有插電 沒有網絡 沒得救

My body’s out of power, no internet, hopeless

連獨享好戲也內疚 拿手好菜要自受

Even enjoying good shows alone feels guilty, I must cook my best dishes myself

願可趕快老掉能早抖 有事別救

Hope I can age quickly and get it over with, no need to save me if there's trouble

快一些

Hurry up

青春見底 別再賒

Youth is ending, don’t delay anymore

脂肪儲多些

Store up more fat

筋肌鬆了 別拉扯

Muscles loosen, don’t pull

快一些

Hurry up

花朵缺水就會謝

Flowers wither when they lack water

我需要那些愛 你沒再施捨

I need love, but you don’t give anymore

反正亦孤單變老 情願快些

Anyway, growing old alone, I prefer to hurry

戀愛共我就似被咬之後極度怕蛇

Falling in love with me is like being bitten, now afraid of snakes

可不可以沒禮拜六 沒禮拜日 又一周

Can there be no Saturday, no Sunday, another week gone

講真我沒有你後 沒有節目 沒好友

Honestly, without you, no shows, no friends

長命假使似個毒咒 何必給我再賀壽

If longevity is like a curse, then why celebrate my birthday?

日子想快快活早一些退休

I want to live happily and retire early

可不可以沒有假日 沒有節日 別公休

Can there be no holidays, no special days, no days off

身體已沒有插電 沒有網絡 沒得救

My body’s out of power, no internet, hopeless

連獨享好戲也內疚 拿手好菜要自受

Even enjoying good shows alone feels guilty, I must cook my best dishes myself

若得天意厚待能早抖 接受別鬥

If heaven’s kindness favors me, I can age early and let go, accept the fights

累了 不知要再留堂多久?

Tired, don’t know how long I must stay

罰夠沒有? 怎麼到最後又重頭?

Had enough punishment? Why start over again?

可不可以截斷惡夢 讓我這樣 就一生

Can I cut off this nightmare, just live like this

講多次若我有事 讓我去吧 別搶救

If I die, just let me go, don’t try to save me

橫竪我已無人偕老

I’ve lost all someone to grow old with me

幸好遭到意外能早抖

Fortunately, an accident allowed me to age early

否則准我盡快老掉 直接老掉 別擔憂

Otherwise, let me age quickly, just age naturally, don’t worry

懵懂了沒有眼淚 沒有畏懼 魂飄走

Lost innocence, no tears, no fear, soul drifting away

我待你夠好没有 你害我夠慘沒有

I treated you well enough, didn’t make you suffer enough

等失智以後神收走那份内疚

After losing my mind, may the gods take away that guilt

...
