Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

Yeah you and me, huh

Yeah, you and me, huh

You know we Catch a Vibe

You know we catch a vibe

come on!

Come on!

You thinkin’ what I’m thinkin’?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

天天和時間賽跑

Running against time every day

天天和聯網社交

Socializing online every day

天天困於某種氣泡 Whoo Whoo

Stuck in some bubble every day, whoo whoo

天天妒忌吃到飽

Constantly jealous of all-you-can-eat

天天虐待腦細胞

Brain cells getting overstimulated every day

偏偏有諗法不要搞

Yet somehow, I have thoughts not to mess with

(忙極也慶祝)

(Busy but celebrating)

即刻 一班friend 一間餐廳

Right now, a bunch of friends, a restaurant

幾杯 幾多支 今晚我請

A few drinks, so many shots, tonight it's my treat

娛樂節目 人人換制服

Entertainment shows, everyone changing uniforms

(要慶祝)

(Let's celebrate)

不如齊人 勢如破竹

Why not gather everyone and break through boundaries

不如齊人 眼神有接觸

Why not all together, our gaze connecting

Are you ready or not?

Are you ready or not?

來 來來來 抽抽空見面 na na na na

Come on, come on, find a time to meet up, na na na na

來 來來來 叉叉先有電 na na

Come on, come on, let’s charge up first, na na

一首歌可陪你癲

One song can let you go wild

幾分鐘可能太短

A few minutes might be too short

You know we Catch a Vibe!

You know we catch a vibe!

Catch a Vibe

Catch a vibe

有個世界夠大 (Catch a Vibe!)

There’s a world that's big enough (Catch a vibe!)

You and I

You and I

約你去catch a... (You and I)

I invite you to catch a... (You and I)

天天被會議夾攻

Constantly overwhelmed by meetings

天天願望上太空

Dreaming of flying to space every day

偏偏買不到一秒鐘

Yet can't buy a single second

團 聚也好 差不多半世未見面

Gatherings are rare, almost half a year since we met

難約到要用合同 排排坐 (爭凳仔)

Hard to meet, have to use contracts, queue up (stools)

傳聞話 誰 內 訌 (還是要慶祝)

Rumors say, someone’s fighting inside (but still celebrate)

通宵 等一等 等到天光

Waiting all night, waiting until dawn

心灰 搵一搵 搵到偏方

Feeling down, trying to find a remedy

期待戲肉 延遲大結局 (照慶祝)

Anticipating the show, delaying the big finale (still celebrating)

不如齊人 看誰答覆

Why not gather everyone and see who responds

不如齊人 友情要儲蓄

Why not all together, friendship needs saving up

隨時有點升幅

There’s always some upward movement

來 來來來 抽抽空見面 na na na na

Come on, come on, find a time to meet up, na na na na

來 來來來 叉叉先有電 na na

Come on, come on, let’s charge up first, na na

You and I

Yeah yeah yeah, oh

Yea, hey you and me,

抽抽空見面 na na na na

Find a time to meet up, na na na na

忙 忙忙忙 亦能露笑臉

Busy, busy, busy, but still can smile

一首歌可陪你癲

One song can let you go wild

I invite you to catch a...
