有生一天 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

也許你的失憶症病發

Maybe your amnesia has struck again

再不記得身邊我 照顧你一個

If you forget I’m here caring for you all along

斜陽下漫遊公園講起最初

Strolling through the park at sunset, talking about the first times

即使你的腰骨痛復發

Even if your backPain flares up again

我肩膊任你倚賴

I’ll rely on your shoulders

泥石路同踏過 做漫長情侶

Walking on rocky paths together, as long-term lovers do

一百歲後也未算多

A hundred years, that’s not too long

人生階梯高低都走過 真感激得你成全我

We’ve climbed life’s stairs, highs and lows, and I’m so grateful you support me

能為你努力一天 一天有信心

I can work hard for you for a day, believing in tomorrow

一天 時代下歷盡競爭

Each day, through the fierce competition of the times

總有你的足印 在最艱苦裡同行

Your footprints are always with me, walking through the hardest days

能伴你散步一天 一天我有生

Spending a day walking with you, that’s all I have in this life

一天也為你灌溉樹蔭 手腳無論再笨

One day, I’ll water the shade of your tree, no matter how clumsy I am

存在一起也用餘生 送你多一吻

Together, we’ll spend the rest of our lives, giving you one more kiss

記得那天低窪裡度過

Remember that day we spent in the low valley

我的友好拋低我 卻有你一個

My kindness left me behind, but I have only you

扶持六十年都不講究最後結果

Supporting me for sixty years, not caring about the ending

如今給你証實挑選我 雖則辛苦卻毫無錯

Now I give you proof—choosing me was tough, but it’s all right

能為你努力一天 一天有信心

I can work hard for you for a day, believing in tomorrow

一天 時代下歷盡競爭

Each day, through the fierce competition of the times

總有你的足印 在最艱苦裡同行

Your footprints are always with me, walking through the hardest days

能伴你散步一天 一天我有生

Spending a day walking with you, that’s all I have in this life

一天也為你灌溉樹蔭 手腳無論再笨

One day, I’ll water the shade of your tree, no matter how clumsy I am

存在一起也用餘生 送你多一吻

Together, we’ll spend the rest of our lives, giving you one more kiss

那怕我沒有富庶的僥倖

Even if I’m not lucky with wealth

無數個最壞時分 唯一身邊的你 對我很公允

Countless worst moments, but you, by my side, have always been fair to me

一生 這一生也感恩

This life, I am grateful

一生 寧願沒大事發生

Better if nothing big ever happens

隱世遠郊小鎮 兩袖也清風看浮雲

Living quietly in a small town, I watch the clouds drift by with clear sleeves

如活到最後一天 一天我只得

Living until the last day, all I get is

一天再沒法灌溉樹蔭 想到明日接近

One more day to water the shade of your tree, dreaming of tomorrow’s closeness

唯一不想告別原因 怕你驚黑暗

The only reason I don’t want to say goodbye is afraid of your fear of the dark
