Mr. - 如果我是陳奕迅

踱步街上觀摩眾人
dok bou gaai soeng gun mo zung jan
stroll on the street observe everyone
外貌品行隨意區分
ngoi maau ban hang ceoi ji keoi fan
appearance moral conduct randomly differentiate
日夜張望能成就偉人
jat je zoeng mong nang sing zau wai jan
day and night look around to become a great person
或是作一世悶棍
waak si zok jat sai mun gwan
or maybe be a lifetime boring rascal

自問極不願當複製人
zi man gik bat jyun dong fuk zai jan
ask myself extremely unwilling to act as a clone
但事實聲調難以變更
daan si sat sing diu naan ji bin gang
but in fact vocals are hard to modify
踏入巨星命途難道靠神
daap jap geoi sing ming tou naan dou kaau san
to step into superstar's course of life could it be to rely on divinity
或是再需要集訓
waak si zoi seoi jiu zaap fan
or maybe need to train together again

*如果我是陳奕迅　這句話太吸引
jyu gwo ngo si can jik seon se geoi waa taai kap jan
if I was Eason Chan this phrase is too appealing
獨站在鎂光下逃離樹蔭*
duk zaam zoi mei gwong haa tou lei syu jam
alone standing under the spotlight escape from shade of tree
還是我不去面對黑暗
waan si ngo bat heoi min deoi hak am
or I do not go to confront darkness
白日夢破醒了滿腔餘音
baak jat mung po sing liu mun hong jyu jam
daydream breaks wake up full of lingering sounds

自問表現不差過人
zi man biu jin bat caa gwo jan
ask myself performance is not inferior to other people
浪漫演繹還會震音
long maan jin jik waan wui zan jam
romantic acting also know vibrato
或是命書閳明如若姓陳
waak si ming syu zin ming jyu joek sing can
or maybe destiny's book clearly discloses if last name is Chan
方可以傾倒眾生
fong ho ji king dou zung sang
only then can infatuate all living things

*如果我是陳奕迅　這句話太吸引
獨站在鎂光下逃離樹蔭*
真相是其實我不去面對苦困
zan soeng si kei sat ngo bat heoi min deoi fu kwan
the truth is actually I do not go confront painful difficulities
白日夢裡不會自禁
baak jat mung leoi bat wui zi gam
within daydream will not self-imprison

如果我的掌紋堆積了塵
jyu gwo ngo dik zoeng man deoi zik liu can
if my palm lines are accumulated with dust
命運沒法敲定前世今生
ming wan mut faat haau ding cin sai gam sang
destiny unable to determine previous life this life
怎樣神外有神　只不過假以時日
zam joeng san ngoi jau san zi bat gwo gaa ji si jat
how beyond divinity there is divinity but just according to time

能做你的確是太急進
nang zou nei dik kok si taai gap zeon
able to be you indeed is too rapidly advancing
實在我享受循序漸進
sat zoi ngo hoeng sau ceon zeoi zim zeon
actually I enjoy incremental progress
心裡面鳴謝你一再令我長進
sam leoi min ming ze nei jat zoi ling ngo zoeng zeon
within heart express gratitude towards you to make me grow once again
白日夢刺激我自信
baak jat mung ci gik ngo zi seon
daydream stimulates my confidence

陳奕迅的確是得一個
can jik seon dik kok si dak jat go
Eason Chan indeed is only one
賣力地唱使你起身拍和
maai lik dei coeng si nei hei san paak wo
use capability to sing make you stand up to applaud
如硬要比較是你的錯
jyu ngaang jiu bei gaau si nei dik co
if firmly set to compare is your fault
漸漸便看清我是我
zim zim bin hon cing ngo si ngo
gradually then clearly see I am me

(唔　都唔係好似嘅其實)
(m dou ng hai hou ci ge kei sat)
(hmm also not very similar actually)
