陳奕迅 - 阿牛

不能回頭
bu nang wui tau
cannot turn back
多年前早明言不能回頭
do nin cin zou ming jin bat nang wui tau
many years before earlier clearly said cannot turn back
可恨在是我　這一頭蠻牛
ho han zoi si ngo ze jat tau maan ngaau
hateful is that I am a reckless 'cow'
幾年來無法侍候　才和我分手
gei nin loi mou faat si hau coi wo ngo fan sau
coming several years unable to wait then break up with me

成婚之前一刻才趕到
sing fan zi cin jat hak coi gon dou
one moment before getting married then arrive
難得你來通報才知道
naan dak nei loi tung bou coi zi dou
fortunately you came to notify then aware
往日共你追憶永遠是好
wong jat gung nei zeoi jik wing jyun si hou
former days with you to recollect always is good
怎能預計似這般難共你同諧共老
zam nang jyu gai ci ze bun naan gung nei tong haai gung lou
how possible to predict like this difficult to be harmonious and grow old together with you
你話只需肯做
nei waa zi seoi hang zou
you said only need to be willing to do
差一剎　與我拾回舊好
caa jat saat jyu ngo sap wui gau hou
short of one 'shot' resume back old relationship with me
不甘心　尤其這新婚
bat gam sam jau kei ze san fan
not accepting particularly this new marriage
就像玩犧牲
zau zoeng waan hei sang
just like to toy with sacrifice
想過搶新娘　我差點講真
soeng gwo coeng san noeng ngo can dim gong zan
thought to snatch bride I almost really meant it

歷史一刻早已將舊伴侶轉送別人
lik si jat hak zou ji zoeng gau bun leoi zyun sung bit jan
one moment of history long ago took old partner to 'pass on' to another person
我說　別傷心
ngo syut bit soeng sam
I said do not be sad
仍能恰當大方去做人
jing nang hap dong daai fong heoi zou jan
still can be a suitable generous person
約定日後你若和他相分
joek ding jat hau nei joek wo taa soeng fan
schedule in the future if you and him mutually separate
拿來用你尚有餘的惻隱
naa loi jung nei soeng jau jyu dik caak jan
come to use your still abundant compassion
憐憫　我自身的不幸
lin man ngo zi san dik bat hang
take pity on my own unfortunate
不緊要　約到明年來生
bat gan jiu joek dou ming nin loi sang
not important schedule until next year next life
*不甘心　人人不開心
bat gam sam jan jan bat hoi sam
not accepting everyone unhappy
尤其這新婚　失去我身份
jau kei ze san fan sat heoi ngo san fan
particularly this new marriage lose my identity
不甘心　明明不開心
bat gam sam ming ming bat hoi sam
not accepting clearly unhappy
就是不甘心
zau si bat gam sam
exactly not accepting
不過我肯等　等一生都等*
bat gwo ngo hang dang dang jat sang dou dang
however I am willing to wait to wait a lifetime also wait

這都好　自小想拿到的全得到
ze dou hou zi siu soeng naa dou dik cyun dak dou
this is also good since childhood wish to get entirely get
如今我求不到才知道
jyu gam ngo kau bat dou coi zi dou
now I unable to demand then aware
我命運裡雖則當你是寶
ngo ming wan leoi seoi zak dong nei si bou
in my destiny although regard you as treasure
天涯尚有更多的好情人
tin ngaai soeng jau gang do dik hou cing jan
in the world still have even more good lovers
仍然未抱　要這麼的慘酷
jing jin mei pou jiu ze mo dik caam huk
have not yet embrace need to be this cruel
他不要　我再拾回舊好
taa bat jiu ngo zoi sap wui gau hou
he does not want me to resume back old relationship again
*不甘心　人人不開心
尤其這新婚　失去我身份
不甘心　明明不開心
就是不甘心
不過我肯等　等一生都等*

一頭蠻牛
jat tau maan ngau
a reckless cow
闖情場竟成為一頭蠻牛
cong cing coeng ging sing wai jat tau maan ngau
rush into love arena unexpectedly become a reckless cow
慘淡在是我知不能回頭
caam daam zoi si ngo zi bat nang wui tau
painstaking is I know cannot turn back
欺騙我能約定未來回頭
hei pin ngo nang joek ding mei loi wui tau
deceive me can schedule in the future to turn back
我是牛我是牛
ngo si ngau ngo si ngau
I am a cow I am a cow
