做夢亦記得與你初相見那十秒
jo mung yik gei dak yue nei choh seung gin na sap miu
Even in (my) dreams (I) can remember the first ten seconds of meeting you

迷糊地心跳安坐著都像飄
mai woo dei sam tiu on joh jeuk do jeung piu
With a dazed heartbeat sitting calmly, just like floating

遠遠看著未來連動作語氣都太美妙
yuen yuen hon jeuk mei loi lin dung jok yue hei doh taai mei miu
Looking at the future from a distance, even (your) movements and expressions are too enchanting

直到很珍惜的不見了堡壘也動搖
jik do han jan sik dik bat gin liu bo lui ya dung yiu
Until the treasured has disappeared, even the fortress has shaken

願望若太多有信心可以努力過
yuen mong yeuk taai doh yau shun sam hoh yi noh lik gwoh
If there are too many hopes, it can be endured with confidence and effort

明明幸福驚天動地差什麼
ming ming hang fuk ging tin dung dei cha sam moh
(We were) clearly so happy (and had something) magificant / earth-shaking, what was missing?

說過要你快樂才令你發覺不再快樂
suet gwoh yiu nei faai lok choi ling nei faat gok bat joi faai lok
(I’ve) said (I) want to make you happy, but made you discovered that you are no longer happy

就算天邊星光給了我未寻回最初
jau suen tin bin sing gwong kap liu ngoh mei cham wooi jui choh
Even if you give me the stars on the edge of the skies, cannot locate (our) beginnings

陪著你一起但有著距離
pooi jeuk nei yat hei daan yau jeuk kui lei
Being with you, but there is a distance

如距我千里偏偏記起
yue kui ngoh chin lei pin pin gei hei
Like pushing me a thousand miles away, but still remember

曾踏遍天地但抱著自己
chang daap pin tin dei daan po jeuk ji gei
Have walked all over the Earth, but still embracing myself

拿到了一切只得痛悲
na doh liu yat chaai ji dak tung bei
Have obtained everything, but only left with pain and sorrow

為現實進取愛到一雙腳往後退
wai yin sat jun chui oi doh yat seung geuk wong hau tui
Keep forging ahead for the present, but (my) legs are stepping backwards

明明幸福伸手就及怎樣追
ming ming hang fuk san sau jau kap jam yeung jui
The happiness was so clearly reachable, how to chase it?

這晚掛念著誰連愉快說笑都有眼淚
je maan gwa nim jeuk sui lin yue faai suet siu doh yau ngaan lui
Tonight (I am) missing who, tears appear even when I’m happily joking

直到天邊星火都散去感覺如細水
jik doh tin bin sing foh doh saan hui gam gok yue sai sui
Until the stars from the edge of the skies have dispersed, the feeling is like gentle flowing water

陪著你一起但有著距離
pooi jeuk nei yat hei daan yau jeuk kui lei
Being with you, but there is a distance

如距我千里偏偏記起
yue kui ngoh chin lei pin pin gei hei
Like pushing me a thousand miles away, but still remember

曾踏遍天地但愛著自己
chang daap pin tin dei daan oi jeuk ji gei
Have walked all over the Earth, but still loving myself

拿到了一切竟想放棄
na doh liu yat chaai ging seung fong hei
Have obtained everything, but actually want to give up

拥著你一起但有著距離
yung jeuk nei yat hei daan yau jeuk kui lei
Embracing with you, but there is a distance

唯有隔千里方可記起
wai yau gaak chin lei fong hoh gei hei
Can only remember while being separated by a thousand miles

成就了天地但我問自己
sing jau liu tin dei daan ngoh man ji gei
Have achieved everything, but I ask myself

如再抱緊你怎麼說起愛你
yue joi po gan nei jam moh suet hei oi nei
If (I) embrace you tightly again, how to say… love you

我還是記得我們遇見的那一秒那一種噗通的心跳真的呢願望越來越多而世界好像越來越吵直到我們往前跑呀跑幸福不見了 (我們很好, 我們原本可以很好的, 為什麼呢?)

你躲在哪里我找不到你愛需要真心需要勇氣天就要下雨我快要哭泣你還不相信我是愛你 (到底要怎樣你才會相信我?)

[Functions] J2 interview, LGW DVD autograph session & Laughing Gor movie premiere

Kat — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:24:58 +0000

Since the three functions all happened around the same day, I’m going to be lazy and include them in one post.

My name is Bong (J2) interview with Amigo Chui

News Source: Cheng Pao, Ming Pao, XingDao
Translated by: Choccho @ AsianFanatics.net

Raymond Lam is prepared to be match-made by parents if….
Raymond Lam was invited by Amigo Chui to his program [My Name is 邦]. He rushed to TVB right after filming “Shall We State the Case”. He laughed and said that due to the extremely hot weather, his clothing was all soaked wet. Just before this, he was filming an outdoor scene in a secluded area and he said it was liken to that of filming ancient series.

Raymond revealed that in the program, he will be talking about his struggles and anxieties when preparing for his concert. [I was struggling to juggle between filming and rehearsing for the concert, I was extremely nervous and stressed out that I felt I was almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown].

Raymond was asked if he had talked about his personal relationship, Raymond laughed and said if there is no further development or much progress in this area of my life in the next few years, he believes his parents are prepared to arrange for a match-making session for him.

On the other hand, it was reported that Suki Chui is currently dating Wong, a well-known specialist in the food and beverage industry and will be tying the knot end of this year. Amigo who was rumoured to be pursuing Suki congratulated her [We have never kept in touch]. Reporter said that the rumour was spread just two months ago. Amigo said that he did not pursue Suki, settling down and setting up a family is a good thing, and that it would even be better if everyone has a stable relationship. Amigo was asked when he will be getting married, he said that will only happen in a very distant future [I know I'm not matured emotionally, and will concentrate in my career, I can't even provide for myself now].

LGW DVD autograph function @ HK Records

News Source: Sina Entertainment News
Translated by: Fung4Eva @ http://asianfanatics.net

Raymond Lam’s DVD in great demand in HK. Hard to manage another concert by year end
Singer Raymond Lam held his first concert in June 2009 at the Hong Kong Coliseum, gaining a pretty good response, the entire concert was recorded and produced into a concert DVD, on the 10th at Tsim Sha Tsui Gateway Arcade a press conference was held to conduct a DVD autograph session. The scene attracted many of Raymond Lam’s fans wearing their yellow and green uniform holding up high, in green, signs of the word “Fung”.

Raymond Lam frankly said, when the DVD was first released, he had asked a friend to buy a copy for him, he didn’t think that the answer would be that it was all sold out, although he hasn’t gotten his hands on a copy yet, but knowing that sales are going well, Raymond Lam feels twice as consoled, and furthermore feels greatful of his fans support.

As he was asked about when he would hold his next concert, Raymond Lam openly expressed that apart from having to record his mandarin album, he will also be filming some movies and series, filling his schedule all the way to next year, and plus, his concert would also require gathering even more songs, so the plan for a concert would need to be temporarily put on hold and discussed slowly.

[Interview] Footpath radio show – 19th July – part 1

Kat — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:23:29 +0000

Foothpath interview @ RTHK – 19 July 2009
Yesterday RTHK aired a lengthy interview with Ah Fung on their show “Foothpath”. The host of this show is veteran radio announcer Candy Chea Suk Mui. Since the show is an hour and a half long I’ve split the translation to three parts. In part one Fung talks about his thoughts on his first concert, and his music journey!

You can download the original interview at Yuki’s Blog!

Candy: A month ago, everyone will remember Fung was all wet for his concert.
Fung: Hello, Suk Mui jeh (sister)…
Candy: Good morning…
Fung: Good morning…
Candy: So it has been a month already, are you still feeling that excitement?
Fung: A month had gone by in the blink of an eye…. because in the couple of months before the concert I was already quite stressed, need to prepare for a lot of things. So in the blink of an eye, the concert has already ended for a month already. There were two concerts and the feeling was…. I don’t think it was enough.
Candy: Yeah… the fans say this too…
Fung: It was all like a dream…
Candy: Really…. but it was really quick for you. Think about it, in the music industry there are many many singers… and many of them would love the opportunity to hold a concert at the Coliseum. There are many who don’t get to hold a concert, but you were only in the music industry for two years, released two albums, and already you have held two concerts at the Coliseum.
Fung: Actually… the company told me last year that they will probably organise a concert for me this year or a music show etc. But when they confirmed and told me it was going to be at the Coliseum, I was quite shocked. I didn’t know how to react. Because I haven’t had a concert before, not even a music show or mini concert. So for my first time it will be at the Coliseum. Actually at the time I was really happy, it was a very happy event….
Candy: Is this your dream?
Fung: Yeah, but didn’t think the opportunity will appear in front of me so quickly. I was filming a series, after the concert ended (on the 17th & 18th), on the 19th I had to dye my hair back… because my hair was blonde for the concert.
Candy: Yeah…yeah…
Fung: To connect the scenes I had to dye my hair back immediately, and on the afternoon of the 19th I had to go back to Shenzhen for filming. From the 19th I was filming for another week or so and then filming was complete.
Candy: So how long did they stop filming to allow you to prepare for the concert?
Fung: Stopped for about 12 / 13 days. So 12 /13 days before the concert I was still filming. I haven’t actually fully rehearsed with the dancers, the band…. never rehearsed together. We only talked about it. So I was really nervous.
Candy: I feel your nervousness too… because you haven’t had the experience. Even those with experience will be nervous as well. Plus you had to sing and dance….
Fung: Yeah… there were quite a lot of parts where I had to dance. Plus there were many things to prepare for like the guests parts, the tag and walking (?) parts…. really lucky because from the first time, about a month before the concert when we formally set down and had a meeting, I met with the director Jack, the choreographer, the costume designer, the band leader, and all the crew members… I don’t know, I felt connected with them straight away. So we all set down and understood how much time we had, how to efficiently complete everything, how to divide up the parts etc… it was very clear. It’s like we set down and only talked for a little and already understood each other. So I felt relieved afterwards. So I’m lucky I got to meet such outstanding people.
Candy: But before you took on this project were you worried that you might not be able to handle it?
Fung: I will be quite worried about my physical energy, so from about two months before, I started to train. I started to learn my own lyrics, because I’m really bad at remembering lyrics.

[1st song – Ink spilled cherry blossom]

Candy: So is Lam Fung someone who can withstand a lot of pressure?
Fung: hmm… I should say I am a person who really needs pressure. Because I have a little laziness in me. Those who know me will know that I definitely need someone to push me, someone needs to give me some pressure so I can continue moving forward. Hm.. not sure, maybe I’m a bit immature. So it’s like needing a parent (guardian) to supervise me. The people around me knows about this….
Candy: They know that they need to give you some pressure…
Fung: Yeah… but I hope it’s appropriate pressure, not too sudden, or in a hurry, because I need some time to balance.
Candy: Was the past few months the most pressure you’ve had in your life?
Fung: Those days were probably the most exciting and I felt the most ecstatic. Because I really like the feeling when I’m on stage, I really like the interaction with the audience. This is something an actor might not have the opportunity to experience. Only singers can experience this.
Candy: Before a lot of people were saying… Wah… Lam Fung… really quick to step on the Coliseum stage. Let’s see whether he can do it. Many people were watching whether you could succeed. And when they saw it… wow… you can really do it! Can see your hard work, and your results. Can see that… wah… singing and dancing… not many actor turned singers can achieve such a perfect result. So how would you rate yourself?
Fung: I give myself 70-something marks because eh….
Candy: What made you deduct marks?
Fung: Hm…. there’re many many things still to learn, I also like to learn a lot of things. Even though I really like singing, I started to learn about music earlier than acting. So music is an interest I’ve developed since I was young. Now I can make music a part of my career, I really hope I can do many more different things.
Candy: I saw that you sang a lot of other people’s songs, sang really well. Do you really like to play with water?
Fung: I sweat easily, very afraid of heat. But not really like to get wet. This time, the whole concept, from the first time we all had a meeting, we had to think of a theme for this concert. Everyone was thinking, because at the time we didn’t have the song “Let’s Get Wet”, so we also had to think of a theme song. And then everyone thought…. summer, and looking back at my first two albums… my first album was quite serious, and reserved. The second album started to have some energy, so for the third album let’s show the audience a side of Lam Fung people haven’t seen before. A wilder side… Plus it was summer, so water will be closer to the theme. I also like water sports, many things combined together and water also gives a very good visual effect. So we all decided….
Candy: A “Fung Sup” concert (literally means Fung wet, but also sounds the same as rheumatism/arthritis in Canto lol)…

[2nd song – Let's Get Wet]

Candy: So back to talking about entering the music industry, I know that when you were young you went to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, so why did you enter the music industry?
Fung: Actually from the first singing lesson, first of all my family hopes I can learn something I love.
Candy: How old were you?
Fung: My voice hadn’t fully broken yet… then it was postponed because it wasn’t good for my voice… so after my voice fully changed, around 15 years old, I started learning voice techniques. At the time I didn’t think it would become my future career path, never thought about it, and there were people who asked me whether I was there to become a singer? I said no, from the first day I said no. It was because I liked singing. When I was young I never thought I would enter the entertainment industry.
Candy: Never thought about it…. thought you’ll be an architect? Real estate businessman?
Fung: Just a normal job…. like in an office…. a white collar worker…
Candy: Your family allowed you to take singing lessons, so they were really supportive of you pursuing things that you love right?
Fung: Yeah we’re a harmonious family….
Candy: So why did you go all the way to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music? You were born in Xiamen, came to HK when you were two years old, grew up in HK…. so why did you suddenly go to Shanghai?
Fung: Because at the time my music teacher is Chu Fung Bok, she was the lead singer in “Bak Mo Lui (White haired girl?)”… coincidentally one of my relatives was her student. After I’ve met with her she took me on as her student.
Candy: She thought you had talent…! Did you need to go through tests?
Fung: Yeah… her husband is also a teacher, Teacher Si, who was the honourary president of the Shanghai Opera House. At the time I was very lucky, I went over there during my holidays…
Candy: So you flew there….
Fung: Yeah I was living at their house, everyday the couple gave me lessons for two hours…
Candy: When was this… did you just go there for summer holidays?
Fung: I was about sixteen… during the summer I would stay there for about a month… and then the teacher said everyday you can only practice for about two hours, let’s not waste time… let’s learn instruments and dancing as well. So during those years I learnt a lot during summer…
Candy: So you mandarin is very good…
Fung: No my mandarin was learnt since I was young, because I studied in Kiangsu & Chekiang School during kindergarten and primary school. They taught in mandarin.
Candy: And then you studied at St Paul’s College… did you really fall in love with music during the time you were in Shanghai? They were the traditional music…
Fung: Yeah… they used a method similar to a musical to teach me. Using some beginner voice theory, but allowing me to use it more flexibly. So during that time… I really have to thank my two teachers, who taught me a lot of the foundations.
Candy: Also many instruments… which instruments do you know how to play?
Fung: During primary school I played the piano, when I was in high school… don’t know why, because Kenny G was very popular then… so I really wanted to learn saxophone. But we didn’t have saxophone lessons at school, so I picked the clarinet, because the finger techniques are the same. Then in Shanghai I learnt the guitar, but basically now….. I already gave my guitar to my brother.
Candy: Don’t worry, if you need to use it, it’ll come back out. What about dancing?
Fung: When I was a teenager Jazz dancing was very popular, modern types of dancing. But this is very funny, I was learning from a teacher in Shanghai, whom I still keep in contact with now… that teacher teaches one on one, but when I was learning, coincidentally the teacher was helping a theatre where there were some ballet students who just graduated. The teacher was just choreographing some dancing for them in that theatre. And then the teacher said I should go practice with them. I thought… whoa! These students started when they were very young! You’re asking me to practice with them? And then I was stretching with them… I only started stretching when I was a teenager… my face became very pale from stretching…
Candy: How did they stretch?
Fung: They put me against a wall, and then two students, one on each side, and then stretch my legs until it almost reaches the wall… those two / three minutes felt like two / three hours. My face was so pale I couldn’t breathe.

Candy: So this pleasing performance “Endless Love concert” did your teachers come to watch?
Fung: No because last year Teach Si passed away, due to health reasons. Teacher Chu called me from Shanghai to say that she listened to my 3rd album when it came out. “You have really used what we have taught you very well.” I felt very touched, didn’t know what to say. Because at the time I was filming “Moonlight Resonance” and suddenly heard this news, I hadn’t called Teacher Chu yet and she called me first because I was at the studios. After I received her call I immediately walked out of the studio…. the few days after that phone call it affected my emotions. I will feel a bit of regret because they couldn’t be there for my first concert. So….but Teacher Chu said Teacher Si will know, he listened to my first two albums….

Raymond Lam’s “Let’s get Wet” album achieves gold status
Raymond Lam’s new album “Let’s get wet” which has only been released since last month has already sold over 15,000 copies, earning its Gold status. The boss of EEG spent 5 figure sum of booking 6 banquet tables to celebrate Raymond’s success. EEG Chief Executive Officer Mr.Wu Yu and Virginia Lok also attended the dinner. Chairman of Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce Records Mr. Kong Kwok Ping presented the Gold record to Raymond, who was so excited that he went round to each table to thank the invited guests.

Raymond revealed that he often treated the workers for meals out of his own pocket. He was very surprised that the record sale was so good. He told reporter “I think the concert has influenced the record sale. That proves the audience have accepted my concert and I thank those who have supported me.” Raymond will be releasing the concert DVD at the end of the month. Asked if he is confident that he may get the male singer award? Raymond said he hasn’t thought about it at all. At the moment, he is hoping he can produce a Mandarin record aiming for the Taiwan and mainland market at the end of the year. Raymond was asked if he would hold a concert in Amoy, his home town. He expressed that he has never thought about that either, he only wants to release his mandarin record first, and after its release, he will do a lot of promotion. The reporter went on to ask if he is treating himself with a new car? Raymond replied “I wanted to change my car to a Maserati. I have been driving my car for 10 years now.” The reporter asked him how many rumored girl friends has he got? Raymond smiled “The number is zero”. Asked when he gets his new car, is he going to pick Linda Chung up for a ride first? Raymond said “I am not chasing after her. That proves the TV series has good feedback. I admit our appearance look as if we are suited to each other.”

Raymond Receives Gold CD sales recognition; doesn’t invite Linda Chung
Raymond Lam’s new CD “Let’s Get Wet” has already surpassed the gold cd recognition (15000 copies sold) and heading for the platinum recognition. Yesterday night, EEG spent over ten thousand to host a celebratory dinner for Raymond, consisting six tables! Other than receiving a gold cd plate, Raymond also received a air kiss from EEG excecutive Ng Yu and TVB exceutive Virginia Lok also toasted with Raymond.

Asking him how he would encourage himself, Raymond replied, “I want to get a 2nd hand Maserati and I will treat my colleagues to dinner.”

When asked if he would invite his rumored girlfriend, Linda Chung, to dinner, he said, “No (no wonder you couldn’t successful court her!) I’ve never courted her! The long lasting rumor only proves that the drama’s image is really good.”

In addition, Raymond has to first film his upcoming tvb drama, so his movie “戀愛達人” with Kay Tse will be postponed. Kay expressed that she doesn’t know if they can continue working yet, as she needs to check her schedule. However, she hopes to continue collaborating.

(jau jeung dak yin ming bak doh, jau suen king mo)
Suddenly understanding; even though envying
退出了沉默更好
(tui chuet liu, chum mak gan ho)
Backing out; silence is better
太想走近竟使我放慢腳步
(tai sheung jau kan, ging si ngor fong maan gurk bo)
A strong desire to walk closer, even though I’m walking slowly
人越近傷心更早
(yan yuet gan sheung sam gan jo)
Ones who walk closer will be hurt faster

准我用情歌如泣如訴
(juen ngor yung ching gor, yu yap yu soh)
Allow me to use a love song; to pour out my heart
未說的話留在萬呎天牢
(mei suet dik wah, lau joi maan chek tin lo)
The words I haven’t said; leave it in the sky miles away
我太驕傲情願用笑聲代愁雲密佈
(ngor tai giu oh, ching yuen yung siu sing, doi sau waan mak bo)
I’m too proud; Much rather use laughter to replace the gloomy clouds
不講一聲的愛是最好
(but gong yat sing dik oi si jui ho)
An unspoken love is the best
請記住時間如果來到
(ching gei ju si garn yu gwor loi doh)
Please remember the time, if it comes
就要止步求別做笑話失足跌倒
(jau yiu ji bo, kau bit jo siu wa sat jok dit doh)
Must halt; pleading not to be a joke when I fall
踏上出路來讓暫借的還回誰共抱
(darp shang chuet lo, loi yeung jarm je dik waan wui shui gung poh)
Stepping onto the road; coming to borrow; who do I have left to embrace?
轉身必須比眼淚更早可惜你未知道
(juen sang bit shui bei ngaan lui gan jo, hor sik nei mei ji doh)
Turning my back must be quicker than letting my tears out; too bad you don’t know

沒幸運同偕共老沒有虛度
(moot hang waan tung hai gung lo, moot yau hui doh)
No fortune to be together forever
愛不疚難度更高
(ooi but gau, naan doh gan goh)
Loving with no regrets; The difficulty is more challenging
最傷的夜星光會繼續引路
(jui sheung dik yeah, sing gwong wui gai juk yaan lo)
On the most hurtful night, the starlight will continue to guide me
沉默亦可感覺到
(cham mak yik hor gam gok doh)
Silence can be felt as well

准我用情歌如泣如訴
(juen ngor yung ching gor, yu yap yu soh)
Allow me to use a love song; to pour out my heart
未說的話留在萬呎天牢
(mei suet dik wah, lau joi maan chek tin lo)
The words I haven’t said; leave it in the sky miles away
我太驕傲情願用笑聲代愁雲密佈
(ngor tai giu oh, ching yuen yung siu sing, doi sau waan mak bo)
I’m too proud; Much rather use laughter to replace the gloomy clouds
不講一聲的愛是最好
(but gong yat sing dik oi si jui ho)
An unspoken love is the best
請記住時間如果來到
(ching gei ju si garn yu gwor loi doh)
Please remember the time, if it comes
就要止步求別做笑話失足跌倒
(jau yiu ji bo, kau bit jo siu wa sat jok dit doh)
Must halt; pleading not to be a joke when I fall
踏上出路來讓暫借的還回誰共抱
(darp shang chuet lo, loi yeung jarm je dik waan wui shui gung poh)
Stepping onto the road; coming to borrow; who do I have left to embrace?
轉身必須比眼淚更早彷彿你亦知道
(juen sang bit shui bei ngaan lui gan jo, fong fut nei yik ji doh)
Turning my back must be quicker than letting my tears out; or else you’ll know

[News] IFPI Awards & Club Sparkle

Kat — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:37:48 +0000

Good news today! At the IFPI Awards (which are given based on record sales), ah Fung won THREE awards!

1. Best selling Cantonese album – Love to search for you in memories
2. Best selling Cantonese album – Your Love
3. Top 10 best selling local singers

Also, Michael Miu, Ron Ng and ah Fung were the guests at Sandra Ng & Chin Ga Lok’s talk show “Club Sparkle”. They recorded that show today. There’re some short news articles about Sandra asking ah Fung about his rumoured relationship with Linda Chung. Fung has said again that he’s not in a relationship with Linda, and even his colleagues asked him whether these rumours are true. However, he’s glad that the audience approves of this pairing. They also mentioned Fung’s upcoming concert. Fung has already taken photos for the poster, the outfit will be a little bit sexy (!!), so he’s working hard to keep fit at the moment.

Lyrics in jpg format

值得流淚
pinyin by kat (1st time! let me know if it’s wrong/weird), English translation by Choccho @ AF

夜盡了我會暢快飲醉
(ye juen liu, ngor wui cheung fai yum jui)
The night ends, I drown myself with wine
讓苦水變作了絕句
(yeung fu shui bin jok liu juet gui)
Allowing sorrows to become an end in itself
繁華盛世似月星跌墜
(farn wah sing sai chi yuet sing dit jui)
The grandeur and splendour of life is like falling comets
大笑過後灑眼淚
(dai siu gwor hau sa ngan lui)
After laughter comes tears
夢裡我是瘋子不是誰
(mung lui ngor si fung ji but si shui)
In the dreams of dreams, I am nobody but a fool
為何讓你進駐我心裡
(wai hor yeung nei juen ju ngor sum lui)
Why do I allow you to stay in my heart
未伸手去碰已後退
(mei san sau hui pong yi hau tui)
You left before I could even reach out my hands
浮雲葉絮會隨風散聚
(fau wan yip sui wui chui fung sarn jui)
The floating clouds and the rustling leaves will be ruffled away by the winds
煩惱太重心太累
(farn no tai jung sum tai lui)
Mentally burdened, physically drained
沒有寄望也就沒唏噓
(moot yau gei mong ya jau moot hei hui)
Where there is no hope, there will be no disappointments

*痛到何程度值得真流淚
(tung doh hor ching doh jik duck jang lau lui)
What is the threshold of pain worthy for my endless tears
愛到何程度值得一再追
(oi doh hor ching doh jik duck yat joi jui)
What is the threshold of love worthy for my endless pursue
地老再等天荒多麼教人憔悴
(dei lo joi dang tin fong, dor mor gau yan chiu shui)
The earth waits for the heavens, tormenting people in languish
誓言若似太難記住別記取
(sai yin yurk chi tai naan gei ju bit gei chui)
If an oath is not to be remembered, do not then commit it to memory
到哪天承受什麼都能睡
(doh na tin sing sau sam mor doh naan shui)
Till the day whatever comes I am able to ease myself to sleep
要哪天才愿活得心似水
(yiu na tin choi yuen woot duck sum chi shui)
Only until that day shall I live a life like water
步上了這天階怎可往後退
(bo shang liu je tin gai, jum hor wong hau tui)
Arriving at this heavenly border how can I move backwards
自言自語我越說就越心虛
(ji yin ji yu ngor yuet suet jau yuet sum hui)
Self-talking my way to emptiness
都只得說下去
(doh ji duck suet ha hui)
And I can only continue to talk

為何讓你進駐我心裡
(wai hor yeung nei juen ju ngor sum lui)
Why do I allow you to stay in my heart
未伸手去碰已後退
(mei sang sau hui pong yi hau tui)
You left before I could even reach out my hands
尋常別過哪日可再聚
(chum shang bit gwor na yat hor joi jui)
In search of the day of our reunion
誰也發現失去誰
(shui ya fat yin sat hui shui)
Anyone could realize the loss of someone
亦會繼續過度換新居
(yik wui gai juk gwor doh woon sang gui)
And continue to move forward

*repeat
