楊千嬅 - 快樂與哀愁

寂靜某日近黃昏
zik zing mau jat gan wong fan
quietly on a certain day near dusk
亂翻破舊衣箱覓尋　失去的光陰
lyun faan po gau ji soeng mik cam sat heoi dik gwong jam
disorderly turn upside down worn-out clothing chest searching for lost time available
讀著你從前寫的信　細心追憶再細心看
duk zoek nei cung cin se dik seon sai sam zeoi jik zoi sai sam hon
reading your previously written letter carefully recall then carefully look at
已不覺　跳進思想的樹林
ji bat gok tiu zeon si soeng syu lam
already unconsciously jump into the forest of thoughts

記憶一般都美好
gei jik jat bun dou mei hou
memories generally are beautiful
多半是圈套　卻令人隨著起舞
do bun si hyun tou koek ling jan ceoi zoek hei mou
mostly are traps however makes one follow to start dancing
曾經雙手觸碰到
cang ging soeng sau zuk pung dou
previously both hands came in contact with
夢想般的愛戀　隨著那舞步
mung soeng bun dik oi lyun ceoi zoek naa mou bou
the fantasy type of love follow that dance step

*尋找　原因　無端心中興奮
cam zaau jyun jan mou dyun sam zung hing fan
search for reason no end to heart's excitement
何以　無故　難過閉門自困
ho ji mou gu naan gwo bai mun zi kwan
why without reason feel sad close the door to self trap
歡樂中　愁懷中　追逐你身影足印
fun lok zung sau waai zung zeoi zuk nei san jing zuk jan
while happy while worried chase your shadow and footprints
然而追不到　結果不知遠近*
jin ji zeoi bat dou git gwo bat zi jyun gan
yet have not caught conclusion do not know if close or near

像是鑽石像繁星
zoeng si zyun sek zoeng faan sing
like diamonds resemble multitude of stars
像煙花散開的圖形　戀愛這事情
zoeng jin faa saan hoi dik tou jing lyun oi ze si cing
like fireworks disperse into a picture this matter of love
像霧裡矇矓的山嶺　似光影交錯的險徑
zoeng mou leoi mung lung dik saan leng zi gwong jing gaau cok dik him ging
like within a fog blurry mountain ridge resembles light and shadow intertwining a danger path
有歡喜　也有苦痛的路程
jau fun hei jaa jau fu tung dik lou cing
have happiness also have suffering on the journey

日子不知怎過好
jat zi bat zi zam gwo hou
days do not know how to pass
多半是苦惱　也有甜蜜的預告
do bun si fu nou jaa jau tim mat dik jyu gou
mostly is distressed also have sweet forecast
曾經開心總算好
cang ging hoi sam zung syun hou
previously happy at least good
是否少許創傷　而令你卻步
si fau siu heoi cong soeng ji ling nei koek bou
whether or not a little injury also makes you step back

*尋找　原因　無端心中興奮
何以　無故　難過閉門自困
歡樂中　愁懷中　追逐你身影足印
然而追不到　結果不知遠近*

*尋找　原因　無端心中興奮
何以　無故　難過閉門自困
歡樂中　愁懷中　追逐你身影足印
然而追不到　結果不知遠近*

尋找　原因　晴天竟變密雲
cam zaau jyun jan cing tin ging bin mat wan
search for reason sunny sky unexpectedly change to cloudy
何以　無故　雷雨變成樂韻
ho ji mou gu leoi jyu bin sing lok wan
why without reason thunderstorm becomes joyous music
感動過　猶疑過　假若世界要下沉
gam dung gwo jau ji gwo gaa joek zai gaai jiu haa cam
have been moved have hesitated if the wold wants to sink under
原來快樂苦痛　只差一個吻
jyun loi faai lok fu tung zi caa jat go man
actually happiness suffering is only missing a kiss
