Stranger 某種老朋友 - Terence Lam (2022)

AUTO SCROLL

突然地疑惑龐大陰影活像鯨魚

Suddenly perplexed, vast shadows resemble whales

只有等你要呼吸了才重遇

Just wait until you need to breathe, then we'll meet again

肯與不再肯也未出於自願

Willingly or not willingly, neither are out of will

胡言後聽你亂語

After nonsense, listen to your rambling

為何只懂得看書

Why only know how to read

為何不邂逅奇遇

Why not encounter adventures

突然又容納殘舊陰影暫住

Suddenly accommodating old shadows temporarily

尋常像天要下雨

It as normal as the sky is about to rain

想與不要想不牽涉贏與輸

To miss or not to miss, it doesn't involved in winning or losing

我是我間中跟你一些記憶共處

I am me, sometimes sharing memories with you

也不再忌諱同住

And no longer taboo to live together

如皮膚即使碰瘀

Like even if the skin is bruised

從無發現亦痊癒

Can heal even without realizing

能暫時懷念某種老朋友

Can temporarily remember some kind of old friends

不過未能共享一葉舟

But unable to share the same leaf of boat

彼此都處身洪流

Both of us are in the torrent

如何掙扎沉浮

How we struggle and went through ups and downs

連回想起當初手牽手也顫抖

Even remembering us holding hands makes me shivered

就弄明白眼前這對不是該雙手

Understanding that this pair of hands is not meant to be

如輪迴臉龐留在當下也逐漸消瘦

Like reincarnation, faces left in the moment also gradually slim down

如葉有枯榮輪流

Like leaves, experiencing withering and flourishing

命像悼念長壽

Life is like mourning for longevity

誰又能迴避某種過期朋友

Who can avoid certain kind of expired friendships

一片葉無奈剛飄落背後

A leaf just helplessly fell behind

世上沒人能阻擋細水愛長流

No one can stop the flow of love like a stream

若回憶偶爾活現就前來挑逗

If memories occasionally appear vividly and come to tease

在復原後走得很遠為何要回頭忍受

After recovered and went so far, why looking back and endure

但可否當做剩餘無害有情的咀咒

But can it be regarded as a remained, harmless, affectionate curse

沒有影響此際笑一笑天涼就過秋

Without affecting this moment, smile a little - the weather gets cool, just live through the autumn

就原諒回味從淚水中滴漏

Forgive and reminisce, dripping from tears

其實沒需要自救

Actually, there is no need for self-rescue

刻意擺脫什麼非永恆這對手

Deliberately getting rid of what is not eternal, this pair of hands

我在著衫聽到你囉嗦再嘲弄我

I was getting dressed, listening to your chatter and teasing once again

看衣領漸染黃後

When saw the collar gradually stains yellow

為何不清洗熨斗

Why not wash the iron after

為何潔具亦殘舊

Why even the utensils are old

能暫時懷念某種老朋友

Can temporarily remember some kind of old friends

不過未能共享一葉舟

But unable to share the same leaf of boat

彼此都處身洪流

Both of us are in the torrent

如何掙扎沉浮

How we struggle and went through ups and downs

連回想起當初手牽手也顫抖

Even remembering us holding hands makes me shivered

就弄明白眼前這對不是該雙手

Understood that this pair of hands is not meant to be

如輪迴臉龐留在當下也逐漸消瘦

Like reincarnation, faces left in the moment also gradually slim down

如葉有枯榮輪流

Like leaves, experiencing withering and flourishing

命像悼念長壽

Life is like mourning for longevity

沒有影響此際笑一笑天涼就過秋

Without affecting this moment, smile a little - the weather gets cool, just live through the autumn

某種老朋友

A certain kind of old friend

各撐一葉舟

Each of us paddles our own leaf of boat

總少不免驟然遇上當然就

It's inevitable to suddenly meet

為美好光影感激可以隨身走

Being grateful for beautiful shadows, and free to go

就讓迎面變背後

Let's turn what's ahead into what's behind

沒有傷春的我看一看枯葉伴晚秋

Without being sentimental, I take a look at the withered leaves in the late autumn

如葉也不必考究每一片將活著多久

Like leaves, there's no need to wonder how long each will live
