I know it is not a new song but recently i found out that not much people know about this song and the meaning behind the well written lyrics. I did some research about this song and i realised that in the year 2006, this song made a clean sweep in all the major awards presentation not only in Hong Kong but also in some parts of the world.
A simple song with simple lyrics that manage to capture the heart of the world. Here's the direct translation of the song together with the lyrics for u all to sing along and understand the lyrics. Enjoy~
我過去 那死黨 早晚共對 各也紮職以後沒法暢聚
in the past, i spend my time with my pal all day and night
but since we all got our job, there were no reunions.
而終於 相約到 但無言共對 疏淡如水
finally when we manage to meet up but we have nothing to say
feel as plain as water
日夜做 見爸爸 剛好想呻 卻霎眼看出他多了皺紋
working day and night and when i saw my dad, i felt like complaining
but all of a sudden i saw he had more wrinkles
而他的蒼老感 是從來未覺 太內疚擔心
he's getting old but i never realized
i felt very guilty and worried
最心痛是 愛得太遲 有些心意 不可等某個日子
what hurts most is being too late to love
there are some words from the heart cannot be wait till a certain day
盲目地發奮 忙忙忙其實自私
blindly working hard i say i'm busy but i'm just being selfish
夢中也習慣 有壓力要我得志
even in my dreams i'm used to being pressured then i realised
最可怕是 愛需要及時 只差一秒 心聲都已變歷史
the scariest is that love needs to be on time
just by a second , voices in your heart can become history
忙極亦放肆 見我愛見的相知
in all the hecticness, i need to find time
to see the ones i love to see
要抱要吻要怎麼也好 偏要推說等下一次
want to hold to kiss to do whatever i want
i always say i'll wait till the next time
我也覺 我體質 彷似下降 看了症得到是別要太忙
i feel that my body is not as fit as before
went to see the doctor and was told not to be too busy
而影碟 都掃光 但從來未看 因有事趕
i even bought all the dvds available but never watched them
because i've got things to rush
日夜做 儲的錢 都應該夠 到聖誕正好講跟我白頭
by working day and night my savings should be enough
by christmas it is the right time to ask you to spend your life with me
誰知她開了口 未能挨下去 已恨我很久
but never expect she told me first
that she'd had enough and she hates me long time ago
錯失太易 愛得太遲 我怎想到 她忍不到那日子
it is too easy to lose it is too late to love
i never thought that she couldn't wait until that day
盲目地發奮 忙忙忙從來未知
blindly working hard and always busy never knew
幸福會掠過 再也沒法說鍾意
happiness can pass me by
and i can never say i like her
愛一個字 也需要及時 只差一秒 心聲都已變歷史
love is just a word but it also needs to be on time
just by a second , voices in your heart can become history
為何未放肆 見我愛見的相知
why didn't i take the time to see the ones i love to see
要抱要吻要怎麼也好 不要相信一切有下次
want to hold to kiss to do whatever i want
don't trust that there will always be a next time in everything
相擁我所愛又花幾多秒 這幾秒 能夠做到又有多少
how many seconds would it take me to hold my love one
in these few seconds, how much can be done?
未算少 足夠遺憾忘掉
it's not little but it's enough to to be sorry and forgotten
多少抱憾 多少過路人 太懂估計 卻不懂愛錫自身
how many regrets? how many passers-by?
know how to count to well but do not know how to love themselves
人人在發奮 想起他朝都興奮
everyone is working hard and feel excited by the thought of tomorrow
但今晚未過 你要過也很吸引
but tonight is not over
if you wanna spend the night, it can be very attractive
縱不信運 你不過是人 理想很遠 愛於咫尺卻在等
you don't believe in fate, you're only a human
goals are so faraway but love is so close and yet you're still hesitating
來日別操心 趁你有能力開心
don't worry about the coming days
while you're still able to have fun
世界有太多東西發生 不要等到天上俯瞰
there are too many things going on in this world
do not wait until you're looking down from above the sky

Nice lyrics. Did you translate them yourself?
yea i did!!!
BAN!!! oh no... i am stunned!! that song is one of the most pro lyric ever. it is sooo true, what he sang about life. "live life to the fullest, do not procrastinate, and love each and every time u can while u have the chance to do so" the song really depicts the real situation of our lives. we have became so selfish when u come to think of it. this song deserves the awards it got.
of cos. if not it wouldn't have gain so much recognition world wide. to think of it, it's true that man procrastinate not because they are lazy. it is because they are selfish.
there's nothing to late in life. it is all about how u set your priority. cheers~
Dominique, I got ur link thru Joyce's blog. Went to read the lyrics. Although I was Chinese educated, I didn't really understand till I read the translation.
It's so darn true! Ppl work so hard that they abandon some of the more important things in life. This song speaks the mind of a person in a real world.
This song made me realise a lot. And it's inspiring too! Now, I have this spirit to get my ass off the chair and do something useful and meaningful before I feel regret in life later.
Thanks for sharing, Dominique! :)
it is a truly inspiring song. visit my blog daily if you had time. i'll tanslate more songs in future( if i can find time). hahas. cheers~
Thanks so much for this translation! Been trying to figure out bits and pieces on my own, and Chinese is not my 1st language so it's been a struggle.
Thank you for the translation. This song reminds me to never take the one I love for granted.
Nice translation! Thanks
I just heard this song about 2 days ago and couldn’t stop listening to it. I’m not Chinese I don’t know what does it mean so I google for the meaning and it leads me here. Thank you you so much. It’s such a meaningful song.
