找對的人 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

地方對 年份錯 都遺憾

Location and year are off, both filled with regret

人海中央 如捉伊因

In the middle of the crowds, as if I've caught her,

卻沒法抱緊

But I can't hold her close

日子對 年份錯 不幸

Days and years are wrong, unfortunate,

掏盡幾多光陰 不襯便不襯

Spent so much time, if it doesn't suit, it just doesn't

誰要花一生 尋遍遠近

Who would spend their whole life searching near and far

那個散落的吻

For that scattered kiss

已預約於這地球等

Already promised to wait on this earth

是對的終於會碰到

Finally, the right one will meet you

是錯的不管再美好

The wrong one, no matter how beautiful,

一個接一個 也沒有結果

One after another, still no result

方知海闊天高

Only then do you realize how vast the sea and sky are

耀眼的即使似瑰寶

Even if dazzling, like a gem

但已經有別人擁抱

Someone else is already holding them in their arms

一早編好的情人

A lover prearranged from the start

早晚 始終會等到

Eventually, you'll be waiting for that moment

...

...

埋怨相識他遲了半秒

Blaming it on meeting her half a second too late

錯過美妙心跳

Missing out on that wonderful heartbeat

你遇過的心動人物

The person whose heartbeat moved you

有生一天總找對了

One day, you'll find the right one

是對的終於會碰到

Finally, the right one will meet you

是錯的不管再美好

The wrong one, no matter how lovely,

一個接一個 也沒有結果

One after another, still no result

方知海闊天高

Only then do you realize how vast the sea and sky are

耀眼的即使似瑰寶

Even if dazzling, like a treasured gem

但已經有別人擁抱

Someone else is already holding them

一早編好的情人

A lover prearranged from the start

早晚 始終會等到

Eventually, you'll be waiting for that moment

空出的左手 你荒廢無名指

Your empty left hand, neglected on your ring finger

永遠有隻戒指可佩帶

There will always be a ring to wear

...

...

是錯的 再動人

The wrong one, even if captivating

纏著錯的 難免徒勞

Clinging to the wrong person, inevitably futile

一個接一個 也沒有結果

One after another, still no result

方知海闊天高

Only then do you realize how vast the sea and sky are

是你的終於會碰到

The one who belongs to you will finally be found

別太早替未來苦惱

Don't worry about the future too early

只差一點好時辰

Just one moment away from the perfect time

主角 始終會等到

The main character will wait for that moment

苦澀 只不過鼓舞

Bitterness is just encouragement

...
