關菊英 - 講不出聲

誰人無得到一切的渴求
seoi jan mou dak dou jat cai dik hot kau
which person does not have the desire for everything
誰人無攻於心計的理由
seoi jan mou gung jyu sam gai dik lei jau
which person does not have reason for calculated scheming
平凡人生　天真過後　要怎麼走
ping faan jan sang tin zan gwo hau jiu zam mo zau
an ordinary life after being naïve should go which way

如何從委曲中再相信人
jyu ho cung wai kuk zung zoi soeng seon jan
how from being aggrieved to trusting someone again
誰無狂想　不可告人
seoi mou kwong soeng bat ho gou jan
who does not have insane dreams that cannot be divulged
難忘時光　必須散席　留下我
naan mong si gwong bit seoi saan zik lau haa ngo
unforgettable times must end the banquet leaving me behind

*快樂時　抱著時
faai lok si pou zoek si
when happy when embracing
那是至死不渝　朋友
naa si zi sei bat jyu pang jau
that is till death do us part friend
決裂時　你為何以為再拖一會
kyut lit si nei wai ho ji wai zoi to jat wui
when breaking why do you believe to delay a while again
還有時候
waan jau si hau
still have time

即使多風光都要清醒
zik si do fung gwong dou jiu cing sing
even though very impressive entirely need to be clear-headed
有幾多掌聲也是孤清
jau gei do zoeng sing jaa si giu cing
have how much applause also is solitary silence
你只可聽到我大笑聲
nei zi ho ting dou ngo daai siu sing
you can only hear my loud laughter
哭泣　也未放聲
huk jap jaa mei fong sing
weeping also not release sound

講不出聲　講不出聲
gong bat ceot sing gong bat ceot sing
cannot speak aloud cannot speak aloud
任由自己　半夜驚醒
jam jau zi gei bun je ging sing
let myself in the middle of the night to be startled awake
我只不過偶爾受了驚
ngo zi bat gwo ngau ji sau liu ging
I merely sometimes suffer from being startled
於是　才遺忘本性*
jyu si coi wai mong bun sing
therefore only then forget inherent nature

誰人能甘心一世一個人
seoi jan nang gam sam jat sai jat go jan
which person is willing to be alone for a lifetime
如何才得資格可愛人
jyu ho coi dak zi gaak ho oi jan
how to only then obtain qualifications to be able to love a person
誠惶誠恐　只得我是　明白我
sing wong sing hung zi dak ngo si ming baak ngo
in fear and apprehension only have me to understand me

*快樂時　抱著時
那是至死不渝　朋友
決裂時　你為何以為再拖一會
還有時候

即使多風光都要清醒
有幾多掌聲也是孤清
你只可聽到我大笑聲
哭泣　也未放聲

講不出聲　講不出聲
任由自己　半夜驚醒
我只不過偶爾受了驚
於是　才遺忘本性*
