三岔路上 Crossroads

靈感來自一集鏗鏘集。 Inspiration – based on an episode of Hong Kong Connection. Animated video of an indie Cantopop song. 獨立音樂人創作粵語流行曲的動畫視頻。

三岔路上, 站著三個青年,
走不同的道路, 暢所欲言,
過不同的生活, 敢怒敢言,
一陣狂風, 阻擋他們步前。

他生於六月三十日。
紅紅的小書原在家中封塵。
突來一陣狂風, 吹走灰塵,
紅紅的小書讓他撥雲見日。

她生於七月十三日,
小時候父母遠來尋夢。
藍藍的小書讓她抱夢成龍,
叫她忠心耿耿, 以夜繼日。

她生於六月二十三日。
在藍天白雲/遙遠的他方。
紅藍的小書, 使父母不忘,
那管紅藍, 她自由抱紅日。

三岔路上, 站著三個青年,
走不同的道路, 暢所欲言,
過不同的生活, 敢怒敢言,
一陣狂風, 阻擋他們步前。

百萬個青年, 試問何處好用心,
百萬個青年, 試問何處好年華,
迷人的海港, 連繫著百萬顆心,
驟雨狂風中, 描劃未完成的畫。

三岔路上, 站著百萬個青年,
敢怒敢言, 盼望不同的對話,
暢所欲言, 描劃未完成的畫,
三岔路上, 描劃終點好奔前。

三岔路上, 站著百萬個青年,
走不同的道路, 暢所欲言,
過不同的生活, 敢怒敢言,
三岔路上, 描劃終點好奔前。

Back-translation

Three young people stood at the crossroads. Each one led a different life and could speak freely. Each walked a different path and dared to speak up. But a gust of wind stopped them from stepping forward.

He was born on 30 June. The little passport in red was originally sealed in dust at home. A sudden gust of wind blew away the dust, The little red passport allowed him to brush away the cloud to see the sun.

She was born on 13 July. When she was a child, her parents came here to find dreams. The blue passport let her dream of a bright future. The blue passport called for her loyalty, day and night.

She was born on 23 June, On the other side of the world, with blue sky and white clouds. Little passports in red and blue are always in her parents’ mind, Regardless of red or blue, she is free to embrace the sun.

Three young people stood at the crossroads. Each one led a different life and could speak freely. Each walked a different path and dared to speak up. But a gust of wind stopped them from stepping forward.

Millions of young people ask where they should use their heart. Millions of young people ask where their good years will be. The charming harbour connects millions of hearts. In the rain and strong winds, they begin to draw an unfinished painting.

At the crossroads, there are millions of young people standing. They each dare to speak up and look forward to a different dialogue. They each speak freely and begin to draw unfinished paintings.

At the crossroads, they mark the finish line so they can run toward it. At the crossroads, there are millions of young people standing. They each lead a different life and speak freely. They each walk a different path and dare to speak up. At the crossroads, they mark the finish line so they can run toward it.

Little Pleasures 小小的樂趣

A news item reported that a young boy in Singapore cried with pleasure when he was allowed to eat at McDonald’s again after restaurants reopened (following the relaxation of lockdown and social distancing rules). So the song is inspired by the coronavirus and a Filet-O-Fish!

我想念你,我想念你!
我想聞到大海,我想聞到魚兒。
你的潤滑,你的美味。
你的柔軟,你的鮮味。

我想念你,我想念你!
我想聞到大海,我想聞到魚兒。
你的潤滑,你的美味。
你的柔軟,你的鮮味。

小小的生物使人人痛哀。
小小的東西讓萬事告吹。
小小的生物使人人分開。
小小的東西擋我的樂趣。

我想念你,我想念你!
你的潤滑,你的美味。
空氣中的小生物是什麼?
人人小小的樂趣是什麼?

小小的生物使人人痛哀。
小小的東西讓萬事告吹。
小小的生物使人人分開。
小小的東西擋我的樂趣。

他們話你會負累我。
我不在乎,我不介意。
他們話你會殘害我。
小小的樂趣,多多的相思。

他們話你會使心跳停息。
他們話你會使血脈阻塞。
我不在乎,我不介意。
擁抱自由,大笑大叫。

小小的生物使人人痛哀。
小小的東西讓萬事告吹。
小小的生物使人人分開。
小小的東西擋我的樂趣。

小小的生物算是什麼?
小小的樂趣使人人笑笑。
小小的東西算是什麼?
小小的樂趣使人人叫叫。

Rough back-translation

I miss you, I miss you!
I want to smell the sea, I want to smell the fish.
Your smoothness, your deliciousness.
Your softness, your freshness.

I miss you, I miss you!
I want to smell the sea, I want to smell the fish.
Your smoothness, your deliciousness.
Your softness, your freshness.

This virus grieves everyone.
This little thing makes everything fall through.
This virus separates everyone.
This little thing stops my pleasures.

I miss you, I miss you!
Your smoothness, your deliciousness.
What is this little microorganism in the air?
What are everyone’s little pleasures?

This virus grieves everyone.
This little thing makes everything fall through.
This virus separates everyone.
This little thing stops my pleasures.

They said you would weigh me down.
I don’t care, I don’t mind.
They said you would harm me.
A little pleasure, a lot of lovesickness.

They said you would stop my heartbeat.
They said you would clog my blood.
I don’t care, I don’t mind.
Embrace freedom, laugh and shout loudly.

This virus grieves everyone.
This little thing makes everything fall through.
This virus separates everyone.
This little thing stops my fun.

What is this little thing?
A little pleasure makes everyone laugh.
What is this little thing?
A little pleasure makes everyone shout.
