逾越生死 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

路軌 路燈 在等誰

Tracks and streetlights are waiting for someone

從年月中從歷史中大了幾歲

Growing older through years and history

沙礫堡壘在前天怎樣粉碎

How the sandcastle fortress was shattered the day before yesterday

風箏斷了 才叫風不再吹

The kite broke — only then does the wind stop blowing

寺廟 郵筒 在等誰團聚

Temples and mailboxes are waiting for reunion

粵曲 二胡 未等到下句

Canton tunes and the erhu, waiting for the next line

你沒留住某些感覺在你身軀

You didn’t hold onto certain feelings in your body

只有任那記憶沉睡 我在懷念內寄居

Only letting those memories sleep, I cherish them inside me

在那天同遊大地 預約好重遊舊地

That day we traveled the land, planning to revisit the old places

但你不辭而別留下命裡缺憾 仍想起

But you left without saying goodbye, leaving regrets in my fate, still I remember

一人遊舊地 舊記憶陪同生死

Traveling alone to the old town, old memories accompanying life and death

換了風景依然盼望能共你 看夕陽多麼美

Changing scenery but still hoping to see the sunset with you, so beautiful

...

...

汗水 髮根 或指紋

Sweat, roots of hair, or fingerprints

殘留舊居和大街中未褪的印

Uneven stains from the old home and streets that remain

即使不見亦曾經這樣親近

Even if unseen, we were once so close

歲月年華 學會刻骨銘心

The passing years teach us to carve memories deep in our hearts

或者 填海 是補償遺憾

Maybe digging the sea is to make up for regrets

或者 移山 是給我護蔭

Or moving mountains is to protect me

我仍然是你的不過亦會傷感

I am still your person, yet I also feel sorrow

天註定你我的緣份 愛就維繫著這生

Destined by heaven, our love persists through life

在那天同遊大地 預約好重遊舊地

That day we traveled the land, planning to revisit the old places

但你不辭而別留下命裡缺憾 仍想起

But you left without saying goodbye, leaving regrets in my fate, still I remember

一人遊舊地 舊記憶陪同生死

Traveling alone to the old town, old memories accompanying life and death

換了風景依然盼望能共你 看夕陽多淒美

Changing scenery but still hoping to see the sunset with you, so tragic

...

...

感慨煉成大愛把心交給你

Grateful that love has strengthened me, I hand my heart to you

可以掠過 上空 岸邊 大地

It can pass over the sky, the shores, the earth

為衝破界限像逾越生死

Breaking boundaries, crossing life and death

踏遍這浮華大地 若再可同遊舊地

Travel across this glamorous land, if only we could revisit the old places

若老天能成全人願換個結局 仍一起

If heaven can fulfill our wishes and change the ending, we’ll still be together

一人遊舊地 舊記憶陪同生死

Traveling alone to the old town, old memories accompanying life and death

用我一生感情繼續懷念緊記 已在回憶的你

With a lifetime of feelings, I continue to cherish and remember the you in my memories

每日重新想你 愛在橫跨世紀

Thinking of you anew each day, love spanning the centuries
