Shall We Talk

• Por: 陳奕迅

Letra:

[中文]

[English]

明月光為何又照地堂?

Why does the bright moonlight shine again on the temple?

寧願在公園躲藏 不想喝湯

I'd rather hide in the park, not want to drink the soup

任由目光留在漫畫一角

Letting our eyes linger on a corner of the comic

為何望母親一眼就如罰留堂?

Why does a look at my mother feel like a punishment?

孩童只盼望歡樂 大人只知道寄望

Children just hope for joy, adults only know how to expect

為何都不大懂得努力體恤對方?

Why don't we understand each other's efforts to cherish?

大門外有蟋蟀 迴響卻如同幻覺

Outside the door, there are crickets; their echoes feel like illusions

Shall we talk, shall we talk

Shall we talk, shall we talk

就當重新手拖手去上學堂

Let's pretend to hold hands again and go to school

陪我講 陪我講出我們最後何以生疏

Talk with me, tell me how we ended up so estranged

誰怕講? 誰會可悲得過孤獨探戈?

Who's afraid to speak? Who's sadder than dancing alone in loneliness?

難得可以同座 何以要忌諱赤裸?

It's rare to sit together—why avoid the vulnerability?

如果心聲真有療效 誰怕暴露更多? 你別怕我

If speaking truly heals, who’s afraid to reveal more? Don't fear me

...

...

屏幕發光 無論什麼都看

The screen glows, showing everything

情人在分手邊緣 只敢喝湯

Lovers on the brink of breaking up, only daring to sip soup

若沉默似金 還談什麼戀愛?

If silence is gold, why still talk about love?

寧願在發聲機器面前笑著忙

I'd rather smile and stay busy in front of the voice machine

成人只寄望收穫 情人只聽見承諾

Adults hope to gain; lovers only hear promises

為何都不大懂得努力珍惜對方?

Why don't we understand how to cherish each other more?

螳螂面對蟋蟀 迴響也如同幻覺

Mantis facing the cricket, echoes feel like illusions

Shall we talk, shall we talk

Shall we talk, shall we talk

就算牙關開始打震 別說謊

Even if my jaw starts to shake, don’t lie

陪我講 陪我講出我們最後何以生疏

Talk with me, tell me how our distance grew

誰怕講? 誰會可悲得過孤獨探戈?

Who's afraid to speak? Who's sadder than dancing alone in loneliness?

難得可以同座 何以要忌諱赤裸?

It's rare to sit together—why avoid the vulnerability?

如果心聲真有療效 誰怕暴露更多?

If speaking truly heals, who’s afraid to reveal more?

陪我講 陪我親身正視眼淚誰跌得多

Talk with me, face the tears and see who falls harder

無法講 除非彼此已失去了能力觸摸

Cannot speak, unless we've lost the ability to touch each other

鈴聲可以寧靜 難過卻避不過

The ringing can bring calm, but grief is unavoidable

如果沉默太沉重 別要輕輕帶過

If silence is too heavy, don't just pass over it lightly

...

...

明月光為何未照地堂?

Why doesn’t the bright moonlight shine over the temple?

孩兒在公司很忙 不需喝湯

Children are busy at work, no need to drink soup

And shall we talk 斜陽白趕一趟

And shall we talk, as the setting sun rushes by

沉默令我聽得見葉兒聲聲降

Silence makes me listen to the leaves falling softly

...
