新城市

新城市

凼凼转 努力招呼购物团
层层闪 高格调崇拜极端

将喷泉改作连锁店（摧毁兴建）
书店腾出变时装店（城市要变天）
牌子多高尚
最贵那些都急速扩张
橱窗多闪亮
每个舖面装饰得够抢
模式多相像
说得出区分的可领奖
全市都一样
磨灭混合异彩的形象
统一卖相

冷冰无相

裁帆布 已被迫迁到地牢
凉茶舖 搬到巷尾继续煲

小店离开有谁知道（不想知道）
失去时应向谁哭诉（来上网赞好）
牌子多高尚
最贵那些都急速扩张
橱窗多闪亮
每个舖面装饰得够抢
模式多相像
说得出区分的可领奖
全市都一样
磨灭混合异彩的形象
统一卖相

租值要紧 欺人太甚
小店难强忍

如可不一样
大角咀家乡小炒更香
如可不一样
信和的黑胶音色更响
如可不一样
旧舖建筑都可给细赏
宁愿三不像
维持著独特本土形象
百家合唱
牌子多高尚
最贵那些都急速扩张
橱窗多闪亮
每个舖面装饰得够抢
模式多相像
说得出区分的可领奖
全市都一样
磨灭旧日熟悉的形象
统一卖相
冷冰无相

凼凼转 继续招呼购物团

层层闪 境况何时会逆转

New City

New City

Around and around, trying to greet shopping groups
Layer upon layer glitters, worshipping extremes

Fountains converted into chain stores (tearing down to build up)
Bookstores replaced by clothing stores (the city is going to change)
What could be more luxurious than designer brands?
The most expensive ones are the ones expanding like wildfire
How dazzling the storefronts gleam!
Every surface covered in eye-catching decor
So many lookalikes —
Anyone who can tell them apart deserves a prize
They're all the same
Diluting the vivid diversity
Standardized appearance

Ice-cold and interchangeable

Our beloved canvas store, now forced into some dingy basement
The herbal tea house, relegated to a back alley where it simmers on

Who knows or cares when local businesses leave? (We don't want to know)
Do we cry out in despair when they're gone? (We just like them on social media)
What could be more luxurious than designer brands?
The most expensive ones are the ones expanding like wildfire
How dazzling the storefronts gleam!
Every surface covered in eye-catching decor
So many lookalikes —
Anyone who can tell them apart deserves a prize
They're all the same
Diluting the vivid diversity
Standardized appearance

Rent prices are through the roof, it's outrageous
Small shops can't survive

Oh, how different it could be:
The fiery dishes at the local joint in Tai Kok Tsui taste so much better
Oh, how different it could be:
The vinyls at the store in Sun Hung Kai sound so much clearer
Oh, how different it could be:
The old buildings have so much character and charm
I'd rather have a hodgepodge
Where the unique local flavor shines through
Hear the roar of the crowd:
What could be more luxurious than designer brands?
The most expensive ones are the ones expanding like wildfire
How dazzling the storefronts gleam!
Every surface covered in eye-catching decor
So many lookalikes —
Anyone who can tell them apart deserves a prize
They're all the same
Smudging out memories, painting over the familiar scenes
Standardized appearance
Ice-cold and interchangeable

Around and around, still trying to greet shopping groups

Layer upon layer glitters — will this nightmare ever end?
