Lyrics and translation 梅艷芳 - 妄想

妄想

妄想

曾受过讥讽几多趟 人话我不懂得歌唱
永远只可哼几声 笑着对镜作状
忘掉已哭过几多趟 然后更加放声高唱
每句悲欢的歌声 也是寄有盼望
痛悔抱怨再不讲 每对冷眼如针刺我我未忘
也有悄悄替我鼓掌 似叫我再唱再唱
再奋斗定有好风光
就算这是妄想
亦愿意继续 唱我勇气唱我希望
直到最后看看 是对是错到底应该怎么去讲
让我继续妄想 让我证实我会跳过彼岸
达到以后再看 在这日我是否只得空讲

曾独个打过多少仗
期望有一个痴心汉 与我今生一起闯
困倦也有倚彷 明白我不算很好看
眉目也不似天真相 化上妖女的新装
却是盼你见谅 (为了这梦想)
每次错爱也心伤 (仍然存盼望)
错了再错如刀割我我未忘
却也永远维持愿望 似叫我再看再看
某远处定有他在场
就算这是妄想
亦愿意继续 献我爱意献我希望
直到最后看看 是对是错到底应该怎么去讲
让我继续妄想 让我证实爱侣会永守望
达到以后再看 在这日我是否只得空讲

Imagination

Imagination

I've been the subject of mockery many a time, people say I can't sing.
All I can do is hum a few notes, and make gestures in front of a mirror.
I try to forget the many times I've cried, and sing even louder.
Every joyful or sorrowful song I sing, carries a glimmer of hope.
I'll never complain or regret, though I remember every cold stare like a needle piercing me.
I even hear whispers of encouragement, telling me to keep singing.
They say if I keep fighting, I'll find success.
Even if this is all just a dream,
I'll keep singing, pouring my courage and hope into every note.
And in the end, I'll see if I was right or wrong.
Let me keep dreaming, let me prove that I can reach the other side.
And when I get there, I'll see if all this was just empty talk.

I've fought countless battles on my own,
But I dream of finding a soulmate, someone to fight beside me.
I struggle with exhaustion, and I know I'm not the most beautiful.
My appearance is far from angelic, so I dress up as a temptress,
Hoping you'll forgive me (for this dream).
Every failed relationship wounds me, (but I still hold on to hope).
My mistakes cut me like a knife, but I remember them all.
And yet, I still cling to the hope that someone is out there,
Watching over me from afar.
Even if this is all just a dream,
I'll offer my love and hope to you.
And in the end, I'll see if I was right or wrong.
Let me keep dreaming, let me prove that my love will last forever.
And when I get there, I'll see if all this was just empty talk.
