知己

• By: 許廷鏗, 吳若希

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

吳：寂寞隨時約你 不需揀時間勝地 遊蕩時最愛 拿著手機 自在拍你真的美

Lonely anytime I want to see you, no need to pick the time or place, wandering freely, holding my phone, capturing your true beauty

許：辯論大事或無聊鬥氣 有時隨心好可擔當得起 初戀的年代講起 談到末日世紀

Debating big matters or just boring fights, sometimes going with my heart feels just right, talking about first love and end-of-the-world scenarios

許：我共你難得這一個知己 (吳：我共你難得可成為知己)

With you, I rarely find such a true confidant (Wu: I rarely find someone I can truly connect with)

合：從無拖手但有幸福滋味

Together, we've never held hands but shared the sweetness of happiness

許：倘若這時同伴的專利

If only this moment had the company's exclusive rights

吳：讓每份好奇 願禮物儲起

Let every curiosity be kept as a gift

合：仍偏心這個知己 無崖星空任你自己高飛

Still favoring this confidant, under endless stars, you can fly as high as you like

許：想像彼岸什麼天氣

Imagine what the weather's like on the other side

吳：還隔著距離

Still separated by distance

合：遙看就更漪美

Looking from afar, everything seems more beautiful

吳：落著淚仍來見你 不須表情與顧忌 也好過花光 全部心機 談情說愛辛苦捉心理

Even with tears, I still come to see you, no need for expressions or worries, better than wasting all my energy on love and emotional pain

許：自認事實他曾約你 你要共誰一起不妒忌 這相處當中存著驚喜 情緒別太多突然亂了自己

Knowing he once invited you out, you don't envy who you spend time with, surprises still remain in this relationship, don't let too many emotions mess you up

許：仍難得這一個知己 (吳：仍難得可成為知己)

Still rare to find such a confidant (Wu: Still rare to find someone I can truly connect with)

合：從無拖手但有幸福滋味

Together, we've never held hands but shared the sweetness of happiness

許：倘若這時同伴的專利

If only this moment had the company's exclusive rights

吳：讓每份好奇 願禮物儲起

Let every curiosity be kept as a gift

合：仍偏心這個知己 無崖星空任你自己高飛

Still favoring this confidant, under endless stars, you can fly as high as you like

許：想像彼岸什麼天氣

Imagine what the weather's like on the other side

吳：還隔著距離

Still separated by distance

合：遙看就更漪美

Looking from afar, everything seems more beautiful

合：仍難得這一個知己 從無拖手但有幸福滋味

Still rare to find such a confidant, never holding hands but sharing happiness

許：倘若這時同伴的專利

If only this moment had the company's exclusive rights

吳：讓每份好奇 願禮物儲起

Let every curiosity be kept as a gift

合：仍偏心這個知己

Still favoring this confidant

許：無崖星空讓我自己高飛 (吳：無崖星空任你自己高飛)

Under endless stars, let me fly as high as I can (Wu: Let you fly as high as you like under endless stars)

許：想像彼岸什麼天氣

Imagine what the weather's like on the other side

吳：像快樂假期

Like a happy holiday

許：和你設那天地 (吳：如愛情那麼美)

Building a world with you (Wu: As beautiful as love)
