追

• By: 張國榮

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

這一生 也在進取 這分鐘 卻掛念誰

In this life, I keep striving, but right now, I can't help but think of someone.

我會說 是唯獨你 不可失去

I'd say it's only you that I can't afford to lose.

好風光 似幻似虛 誰明人生樂趣

Beautiful scenery, like a dream, like an illusion—who explains the joy of life?

我會說 為情為愛 仍然是對

I'd say, in love and for love, I still stand firm.

誰比你重要 成功了敗了也完全無重要

Who matters more than you? Whether I succeed or fail, it no longer matters.

誰比你重要 狂風與暴雨都因你燃燒

Who matters more than you? Even wild winds and storms burn with your spark.

一追再追 只想追趕生命裡一分一秒

I keep chasing, just wanting to catch every second of my life.

原來多麼可笑 你是真正目標

It’s so absurd—to see you as the true goal.

一追再追 追蹤一些生活最基本需要

Keep chasing, pursuing the basic needs of life.

原來早不缺少

Turns out, I never lacked anything all along.

有了你 即使平凡卻最重要

With you here, even if life is ordinary, it feels the most important.

...

...

好光陰 縱沒太多 一分鐘那又如何

Good times—though not many—what does a minute matter?

會與你 共同渡過 都不枉過

Spending it with you, I find it's never wasted.

瘋戀多 錯誤更多 如能從新做過

Falling madly in love, making mistakes—that’s all I’d do if I could turn back time.

我會說 願能為你 提前做錯

I'd say, I wish I could have made mistakes earlier for you.

誰比你重要 成功了敗了 也完全無重要

Who matters more than you? Whether I succeed or fail, it no longer matters.

誰比你重要 狂風與暴雨都因你燃燒

Who matters more than you? Even wild winds and storms burn for you.

一追再追 只想追趕生命裡一分一秒

Keep chasing, just wanting to catch every second of my life.

原來多麼可笑 你是真正目標

It’s so ridiculous—you're truly my real goal.

一追再追 追蹤一些生活最基本需要

Keep chasing, pursuing life’s simplest needs.

原來早不缺少

Turns out, I’ve never been lacking anything all along.

有了你 即使平凡卻最重要

With you in my life, even the mundane feels vital.

...

...

(一追再追) 只想追趕生命裡一分一秒

(Keep chasing, keep chasing) I just want to catch every second of my life.

原來多麼可笑 你是真正目標

It’s so absurd—you're truly my ultimate goal.

一追再追 追蹤一些生活最基本需要

Keep chasing, pursuing life’s fundamental needs.

原來早不缺少 哦只得你

Turns out, I’ve never lacked anything early on—only you.

會叫我彷彿人群裡最重要

You make me feel like the most important person among the crowd.

有了你 即使沈睡了 也在笑

With you, even if I fall asleep, I keep smiling.
