陳奕迅 - 葡萄成熟時

差不多冬至一早一晚還是有雨
cha bat do dung ji yat jou yat maan waan si yau yu
it is almost time for Dongzhi day and night there is still rain
當初的堅持現已令你很懷疑
dong cho dik gin chi yin yi ling nei han waai yi
my original persistence still makes you very suspicious
很懷疑　你最尾等到　只有這枯枝
hen waai yi nei jeui mei dang dou ji yau je fu ji
very suspicious, you only ended up waiting for a dried up branch
苦戀幾多次悉心栽種　全力灌注
fu lyun gei do chi sik sam joi jung chyun likgun jyu
how many times of bitter love carefully planting and irrigating with all of one's strength
所得竟不如別個後輩　收成時
so dak ging bat yu bit go hau bui sau sing si
what I gained after all is nothing in comparison to last generation's harvest
這一次　你真的很介意
je yat chi nei jan dik han gaai yi
this time you are really offended

*但見旁人談情何引誘
daan gin pong yan taam ching ho yan yau
but seeing other people dating is very alluring
問到何時葡萄先熟透
man dou ho si pou tou sin suk tau
asking when will the grapes be ripen
你要靜候　再靜候
nei yiu jing hau joi jing hau
you need to silently wait and silently wait again
就算失收始終要守
jau syun sat sau chi jung yiu sau
even if the harvest is bad I still have to protect it
日後　儘量別教今天的淚白流
yat hau jeun leung bit gaau gam tin dik leui baak lau
days later on with the utmost capacity do not teach today's tears to be wasted
留低　擊傷你的石頭
lau dai gik seung nei dik sek tau
leave behind the rock that strikingly hurt you
從錯誤裡吸收
chung cho ng leui kap sau
by mistakenly absorbing
也許　豐收月份尚未到你也得接受
ya heui fung sau yut gan seung mei dou nei ya dak jip sau
perhaps you still cannot accept the harvest month
或者要到你將愛釀成醇酒
waak je yiu dou nei jeung oi yeung sing seun jau
or maybe you are requesting love to brew into pure wine
時機先至熟透*
si gei sin ji suk tau
the occasion will then readily arrive

應該怎麼愛可惜書裡從沒記載
ying goi jam mo oi ho sik syu leui chung moot gei joi
how should I love it is too bad the books never recorded it
終於摸出來但歲月却不回來
jung yu mo cheut loi daan seui yut keuk bat wui loi
finally I figured it out but the years of a person's life will not return
不回來　錯過了春天可會再花開
bat wui loi cho gwo liu cheun tin ho wui joi fa hoi
will not return, to miss out on spring will the flowers still bloom again
一千種戀愛一些需要情淚灌溉
yat chin jung lyun oi yat se seui yiu ching leui gun koi
a thousand kind of love some need love's tears to irrigate
枯毀的溫柔在最後會長回來
fu wei dik wen yau joi jeui hau wui cheung wui loi
the dried up and destroyed gentleness at the end will always return
錯的愛乃必經的配菜
cho dik oi naai bit ging dik pui choi
mistaken love must certainly be a pass through stage

*但見旁人談情何引誘
問到何時葡萄先熟透
你要靜候　再靜候
就算失收始終要守
日後　儘量別教今天的淚白流
留低　擊傷你的石頭
從錯誤裡吸收
也許　豐收月份尚未到你也得接受
或者要到你將愛釀成醇酒
時機先至熟透*

想想天的一邊
seung seung tin dik yat bin
think about the other side of the sky
亦有個某某　在等候
yik yau go mau mau joi dang hau
there also is a person that is waiting
一心只等葡萄熟透　嘗杯酒
yat sam ji dang pou tou suk tau seung bui jau
wholeheartedly only waiting for grapes to ripen taste a glass of wine
別讓　寂寞害你傷得一夜白頭
bit yeung jik mok hoi nei seung dak yat ye baak tau
do not let loneliness harm you to wound up after a night with white hair
仍得不需要的自由
ying dak bat seui yiu dik ji yau
still do not need freedom
和最耀眼傷口
wo jeui yiu ngaan seung hau
with the most dazzling wound
我只　日後路上或沒有更美的邂逅
ngo ji yat hau lou seung waak moot yau gang mei dik haai hau
I know that days later on the path ahead may not have a more beautiful encounter
但當你智慧都蘊釀成紅酒
daan dong nei ji wai dou wan yeung sing hong jau
but when your wisdom is brew together into red wine
仍可一醉自救
ying ho yat jeui ji gau
I still can drink a glass to save myself
誰都心酸過那個沒有
seui dou sam syun gwo na go moot yau
one has had a sore heart and who has never
