月球下的人 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

期望飛上恬靜月球遙望每家的窗

Looking to fly up to the tranquil moon, gazing at every window

誰伴深愛細味露台玫瑰香

Who accompanies deep love, savoring the scent of roses on the terrace

裝飾得漂亮 溫馨氣場 只滿足一對又一雙

Decorated beautifully, warm and inviting — just satisfying one pair after another

誰又跟你仰望月兒忘掉世間哀傷

Who’s gazing up at the moon with you, forgetting the sorrows of the world

圓月只配掛在團聚晚上就

The full moon only belongs on the night of reunion

偏心的照亮 有情人歡暢

Biased light shining, lovers rejoice

像我一個流落偏僻的宇宙 只應該獨唱

Like me, stranded in a remote universe, only meant to sing alone

...

...

不應該記起 何必偏偏記起

Shouldn’t remember, why insist on remembering

不拖不欠又憑甚麼好妒忌

No debts, no grudges — what’s there to envy?

當初你天地 早已有別人打理

Back then, your world was already taken care of by someone else

弄個小菜調味出喜與悲

Adding a little spice, mixing joy and sorrow

只應該記起 蒲公英總會飛

Should only remember, dandelions always fly away

剛巧飛進倉猝回憶的黑白美

Just happen to fly into fleeting, black-and-white memories of beauty

獨對今晚月半彎 恰似是你的眉

Facing tonight’s crescent moon, just like your eyebrows

任你的臉隨月黑高飛 事過境遷一樣美

Let your face soar with the dark moon, things pass but remain beautiful

...

...

如若經過你舊露台重踏我的家鄉

If I pass by your old terrace, step back into my hometown

期待擺設佈局如舊那樣

Hoping the setup remains as it was

很可惜對象 有別人頂上

Sadly, my partner is someone else now

若有一個難被遵守的約定

If only there was an unbreakable promise

...

...

不應該記起 何必偏偏記起

Shouldn’t remember, why insist on remembering

不拖不欠又憑甚麼好妒忌

No debts, no grudges — what’s there to envy?

當初你天地 早已有別人打理

Back then, your world was already taken care of by someone else

弄個小菜調味出喜與悲

Adding a little spice, mixing joy and sorrow

只應該記起 蒲公英總會飛

Should only remember, dandelions always fly away

剛巧飛進倉猝回憶的黑白美

Just happen to fly into fleeting, black-and-white memories of beauty

獨對今晚月半彎 恰似是你的眉

Facing tonight’s crescent moon, just like your eyebrows

任你的臉隨月黑高飛 事過境遷一樣美

Let your face soar with the dark moon, things pass but remain beautiful

最擠擁的小市鎮 教寂寞人難接近

In the busiest small town, lonely hearts are hard to reach

我在月球上俯瞰 一家家吊燈普照是冰冷感

From the moon, I look down at each household, chandeliers casting a cold feeling

不應該記起 曾經的悲與喜

Shouldn’t remember, the past joys and sorrows

都只不過是殘酷的小趣味

They’re just cruel little amusements

當黑髮香味 經過你情人梳理

When the scent of black hair passes through your lover’s comb

在我指甲流浪一刻遠飛

Wandering momentarily on my nails, flying afar

只應該記起 桃花始終會死

Should only remember, peach blossoms will always die

花瓣給我釀成回憶的抽象美

Petals, turning into memories’ abstract beauty for me

共對一個月半彎 總算沒有分離

Facing a crescent moon, finally free from separation

任記憶也隨日出依稀 沒法子帶走都思念

Let memories fade with the sunrise — impossible to take away all longing

...
