What Does One Seek in Life 一生何求 - Danny Chan (1989)

AUTO SCROLL

冷暖那可休

Can the cycle of warmth and cold ever cease?

回頭多少個秋

Looking back, how many autumns have passed?

尋遍了卻偏失去

Somehow lost what I’d been searching for

未盼卻在手

But got what I'd never expected

我得到沒有

I gained nothing

沒法解釋得失錯漏

Can't explain the gains and losses, the mistakes and omissions

剛剛聽到望到便更改

Just heard or seen, then already changed

不知那裡追究

Not knowing from where to seek accountability

一生何求

What does one seek in life?

常判決放棄與擁有

Often deciding between giving up and possessing

耗盡我這一生

Draining away my whole life

觸不到已跑開

Can't reach those which already escaped

一生何求

What does one seek in life?

迷惘裡永遠看不透

Never seeing through the confusion

沒料到我所失的

Never anticipated what I've lost

竟已是我的所有

is indeed already everything that I have

一生何求

What does one seek in life?

曾妥協也試過苦鬥

Once compromised, also have tried to struggle

夢內每點繽紛

Every bit of brightness in dreams

一消散那可收

How can it be collected once dispersed?

一生何求

What does one seek in life?

誰計較讚美與咀咒

Who cares about praise and curses?

沒料到我所失的

Never anticipated what I've lost

竟已是我的所有

is indeed already everything that I have
