陳秀雯 - 天荒地老

實在這對不對　相識相愛相拒
sat zoi ze deoi bat deoi soeng sik soeng oi soeng keoi
indeed this pair does not match mutually know mutually love mutually repel
緣來後為何又遠去
jyun loi hau wai ho jau jyun heoi
after fate arrives why also distance away
會否有答案答案問誰
wui fau jau daap on daap on man seoi
possible or not to have an answer the answer ask who
命運每每使我覺沒趣
meng wan mui mui si ngo gok mut ceoi
destiny often makes me feel uninterested
旁觀者一般不可改變
pong gun ze jat bun bat ho goi bin
spectator generally cannot change
多少次苦苦追
do siu ci fu fu zeoi
how many times persistently chase
卻無奈最終失去
koek mou noi zeoi zung sat heoi
yet helpless to ultimately lose

但是我卻甘去　一生一世甘去
daan si ngo koek gam heoi jat sang jat sai gam heoi
but yet I am willing to go entire lifetime willing to go
完全為愛而付上我
jyun cyun wai oi ji fu soeng ngo
completely for love and hand over me
每一個過去每個未來
mui jat go gwo heoi mui go mei loi
each and every past each future
或是我信多變歲月裡
waak si ngo seon do bin seoi jyut leoi
or I believe in during fickle time
誠真的心窩始終不變
sing zan dik sam wo ci zung bat bin
the sincere heart all along does not change
真的愛詩必須有甜辣與酸苦句
zan dik oi si bit seoi jau tim laat jyu syun fu geoi
a real love poem must have sweet spicy and sour bitter verse

*塔是從一粒沙一粒沙
taap si cung jat nap saa jat nap saa
tower is from one grain of sand one grain of sand
一心一意慢慢地積聚
jat sam jat ji maan maan dei zik zeoi
wholeheartedly and slowly gathered together
愛是從一點點一絲一絲
oi si cung jat dim dim jat si jat si
love is from a little bit a trace a trace
一風一雨逐漸地累疊上去
jat fung jat jyu zuk zim dei leoi daap soeng heoi
a wind a rain gradually accumulated to pile on
會漫長皆因許多的
wui maan coeng gaai jan heoi do dik
will be very long because of many
短短的累積加起不捨不棄
dyun dyun dik leoi zik gaa hei bat se bat hei
brief accumulations added together not discard not abandon
不管需經過多少錯多少對
bat gun seoi ging gwo do siu co do siu deoi
regardless need to experience how many wrongs how many rights
飄泊那裡碰碎跌碎仍沒說也許*
piu paak naa leoi pung seoi dit seoi jing mut syut jaa heoi
drift in that place bump to pieces fall to pieces still do not say perhaps

**仍信與你可天荒相牽到地老
jing seon jyu nei ho tin fong soeng hin dou dei lou
still believe with you can from desolate skies mutually pull until aged land
仍信與你可天荒相依到地老
jing seon jyu nei ho tin fong soeng ji dou dei lou
still believe with you can from desolate skies mutually rely on until aged land
仍信我縱使想找到的
jing seon ngo zung si soeng zaau dou dik
still believe even if the one I want to find
你未有出現
nei mei jau ceot jin
you have not yet appear
始終可碰到
ci zung ho pung dou
eventually can come across
仍信與你可天荒走到地老
jing seon jyu nei ho tin fong zau dou dei lou
still believe with you can from desolate skies walk until aged land
仍信與你可天荒戀到地老**
jing seon jyu nei ho tin fong lyun dou dei lou
still believe with you can from desolate skies love until aged land
仍信會有天所等的
jing seon wui jau tin so dang dik
still believe there will be a day the one waiting for
一個為我出現
jat go wai ngo ceot jin
one appears for me
一生跟我好甜苦也擁抱
jat sang gan ngo hou tim fu jaa jung pou
entire life be good to me sweet bitter also embrace

*塔是從一粒沙一粒沙
一心一意慢慢地積聚
愛是從一點點一絲一絲
一風一雨逐漸地累疊上去
會漫長皆因許多的
短短的累積加起不捨不棄
不管需經過多少錯多少對
飄泊那裡碰碎跌碎仍沒說也許*

**仍信與你可天荒相牽到地老
仍信與你可天荒相依到地老
仍信我縱使想找到的
你未有出現
始終可碰到
仍信與你可天荒走到地老
仍信與你可天荒戀到地老**
仍信愛永可經得起
jing seon oi wing ho ging dak hei
still believe love always can endure
千次萬次考驗
cin ci maan ci haau jim
thousand times ten thousand times put to the test
天荒都也好唯真愛不老
tin fong dou jaa hou wai zan oi bat lou
desolate skies also good only true love does not age
