Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a powerful journey, and G.E.M.'s '情人' (Lover) is a perfect song to start with Cantonese. As a cover of a legendary song by Beyond, it carries deep emotional and historical meaning. By exploring the lyrics, you can learn to express complex feelings of love, longing, and hope. The song's blend of classic Cantopop melody with G.E.M.'s modern vocal style makes it a unique and beautiful piece of music to appreciate and learn from.

[English]

I hope you haven't secretly shed tears for me again

I don't want to leave your heart empty

I hope you won't make me bear a sin too deep

My heart is like water, you don't need to be infatuated

Hoh, do you know who is willing to return?

Who is there between you and me?

Is it fate, is it love, is it innocence, or is it an accident?

There are tears, there are sins, there are sacrifices, and there is patience

Is it a person, is it a wall, is it winter, hidden in the eyes?

There are days and nights, there are fantasies, unable to wait

...

I hope I won't leave, and we can meet again in the distance

Every day looking at the sea, every day facing each other

I hope you no longer have the fear of me leaving

Even if I leave, in your sky

Hoh, do you know who is willing to return?

Who is there between you and me?

Is it fate, is it love, is it innocence, or is it an accident?

There are tears, there are sins, there are sacrifices, and there is patience

Is it a person, is it a wall, is it winter, hidden in the eyes?

There are days and nights, there are fantasies, unable to wait

How many springs and autumns have changed, how many hardships love remains unchanged

How many sighs of you in the sea of people

Is it fate, is it love, is it innocence, or is it an accident?

There are tears, there are sins, there are sacrifices, and there is patience

Is it a person, is it a wall, is it winter, hidden in the eyes?

There are days and nights, there are fantasies, unable to wait

...

[Chinese]

盼望你沒有為我又再度暗中淌淚

我不想留低 你的心空虛

盼望你別再讓我像背負太深的罪

我的心如水 你不必癡醉

Hoh 你可知 誰甘心歸去?

你與我之間有誰?

是緣是情是童真 還是意外

有淚有罪有付出 還有忍耐

是人是牆是寒冬 藏在眼內

有日有夜有幻想 無法等待

盼望我別去後會共你在遠方相聚

每一天望海 每一天相對

盼望你現已沒有讓我別去的恐懼

我即使離開 你的天空裡

Hoh 你可知 誰甘心歸去?

你與我之間有誰?

是緣是情是童真 還是意外

有淚有罪有付出 還有忍耐

是人是牆是寒冬 藏在眼內

有日有夜有幻想 無法等待

多少春秋風雨改 多少崎嶇不變愛

多少唏噓的你在人海

是緣是情是童真 還是意外

有淚有罪有付出 還有忍耐

是人是牆是寒冬 藏在眼內

有日有夜有幻想 無法等待
