陳奕迅 - 任我行

天真得只有你
tin zan dak zi jau nei
naïvely only have you
令神仙魚歸天要怪誰
ling san sin jyu gwai tin jiu gwaai seoi
to cause the angelfish to die should blame who
以為留在原地不夠遨遊
ji wai lau zoi jyun dei bat gau ngou yau
thought to remain at the original location is not enough traveling
就讓牠沙灘裡戲水
zau joeng taa saa taan leoi hei seoi
just let it play in the water at the beach

那次得你冒險半夜上山
naa ci dak nei mou him bun je soeng saan
that time have you take risk to climb mountain in the middle of the night
爭拗中隊友不想撐下去
zaang aau zung deoi jau bat soeng caang haa heoi
teammates during argument do not want to push forth
那時其實嚐盡真正自由
naa si kei sat soeng zeon zan zing zi jau
that time actually experienced the utmost genuine freedom
但又感到沒趣
daan jau gam dou mut ceoi
but felt uninteresting anyways

不要緊　山野都有霧燈
bat jiu gan saan je dou jau mou dang
do not be concerned the wilderness also has fog lights
頑童亦學乖不敢太勇敢
waan tung jik hok gwaai bat gam taai jung gam
rascal also learns to behave not dare to be too courageous
世上有多少個繽紛樂園　任你行
sai soeng jau do siu go ban fan lok jyun jam nei hang
the world has how many thriving amusement parks let you wander

*從何時你也學會不要離群
cung ho si nei jaa hok wui bat jiu lei kwan
from when you also learned to not leave the group
從何時發覺沒有同伴不行
cung ho si faat gok mut jau tung bun bat hang
from when realized without companions is not possible
從何時惋惜蝴蝶困於那桃源
cung ho si wun sik wu dip kwan jyu naa tou jyun
from when sympathize with the butterfly trapped in that paradise
飛多遠有誰會對牠操心*
fei do jyun jau seoi wui deoi taa cou sam
fly how far there is who will worry about it

**曾迷途才怕追不上滿街趕路人
cang mai tou coi paa zeoi bat soeng mun gaai gon lou jan
once lost way only then afraid cannot catch up to street filled with hurrying people
無人理睬如何求生
mou jan lei coi jyu ho kau sang
no one pays attention how to seek survival
頑童大了沒那麼笨
waan tung daai liu mut naa mo ban
rascal grown up is not that foolish
可以聚腳於康莊旅途然後同沐浴溫泉**
ho ji zeoi goek jyu hong zong leoi tou jin hau tung muk juk wan cyun
can gather for prosperous journey afterwards together bathe in the hot springs
***為何在雨傘外獨行***
wai ho zoi jyu saan ngoi duk hang
why with umbrella outside wander alone

這麼多好去處
ze mo do hou heoi cyu
so many good places to go
漫遊到獨家村去探誰
maan jau dou duk gaa cyun heoi taam seoi
travel to isolated place to visit who
既然沿著尋夢之旅出發
gei jin jyun zoek cam mung zi leoi ceot faat
since following the journey to embark on pursuing dreams
就站出點吸引讚許
zau zaam ceot dim kap jan zaan heoi
just stand at starting point to attract praise

逛夠幾個睡房到達教堂
kwaang gau gei go seoi fong dou daat gaau tong
enough strolling through several bedrooms to reach church
仿似一路飛奔七八十歲
fong ci jat lou fei ban cat baat sap seoi
as if along the way dash through to seventy eighty years old
既然沿著情路走到這裡
gei jin jyun zoek cing lou zau dou ze leoi
since following the path of love to arrive here
盡量不要後退
zeon loeng bat jiu hau teoi
as much as possible do not retreat

親愛的　闖遍所有路燈
can oi dik cong pin so jau lou dang
beloved rush through all the traffic lights
還是令大家開心要緊
waan si ling daai gaa hoi sam jiu gan
or to cause everyone to be happy is more important
抱住兩廳雙套天空海闊　任你行
pou zyu loeng teng soeng tou tin hung hoi fut jam nei hang
clinging to two living room suites broad skies and oceans let you wander

*從何時你也學會不要離群
從何時發覺沒有同伴不行
從何時惋惜蝴蝶困於那桃源
飛多遠有誰會對牠操心*

**曾迷途才怕追不上滿街趕路人
無人理睬如何求生
頑童大了沒那麼笨
可以聚腳於康莊旅途然後同沐浴溫泉**
***為何在雨傘外獨行***

親愛的　等遍所有綠燈
can oi dik dang pin so jau luk dang
beloved wait for all the green lights
還是讓自己瘋一下要緊
waan si joeng zi gei fung jat haa jiu gan
or to let myself be wild a bit is more important
馬路戲院商店天空海闊　任你行
maa lou hei jyun soeng dim tin hung hoi fut jam nei hang
streets theaters stores broad skies and oceans let you wander

從何時開始忌諱空山無人
cung ho si hoi ci gei wai hung saan mou jan
from when start to avert vacant uninhabited mountains
從何時開始怕遙望星塵
cung ho si hoi ci paa jiu mong sing can
from when start to fear to gaze at the cosmic wonders
原來神仙魚橫渡大海會斷魂
jyun loi san sin jyu waang dou daai hoi wui tyun wan
actually when the angelfish crosses the ocean will lose soul
聽不到世人愛聽的福音
ting bat dou sai jan oi ting dik fuk jam
cannot hear the blessings that people love to hear

**曾迷途才怕追不上滿街趕路人
無人理睬如何求生
頑童大了沒那麼笨
可以聚腳於康莊旅途然後同沐浴溫泉**
為何在赤地上獨行
wai ho zoi cek dei soeng duk hang
why on the desolate land wander alone

頑童大了別再追問
waan tung daai liu bit zoi zeoi man
rascal grown up do not further question anymore
可以任我走怎麼到頭來又隨著大隊走
ho ji jam ngo zau zam mo dou tau loi jau ceoi zoek daai deoi zau
can let me wander why in the end following the group anyways
人群是那麼像羊群
jan kwan si naa mo zoeng joeng kwan
a crowd of people very much resembles a flock of sheep
