Lyrics and translation 古巨基 - 愛得太遲

愛得太遲

我過去 那死黨 早晚共對 各也紮職以後 沒法 暢聚
而終於 相約到 但無言共對 疏淡如水
日夜做 見爸爸 剛好想呻 卻霎眼 看出他 多了皺紋
而他的蒼老感 是從來未覺 太內疚擔心
最心痛是 愛得太遲 有些心意 不可等某個日子

盲目地發奮 忙忙忙其實自私
夢中也習慣 有壓力要我得志
最可怕是 愛需要及時 只差一秒 心聲都已變歷史

忙極亦放肆 見我愛見的相知
要抱要吻要怎麼也好 偏要推說等下一次
我也覺 我體質 彷似下降 看了症得到是 別要太忙

而影碟 都掃光 但從來未看 因有事趕
日夜做 儲的錢 都應該夠 到聖誕 正好講 跟我白頭
誰知她開了口 未能挨下去 已恨我很久
錯失太易 愛得太遲 我怎想到 她忍不到那日子

盲目地發奮 忙忙忙從來未知
幸福會掠過 再也沒法說鍾意
愛一個字 也需要及時 只差一秒 心聲都已變歷史

為何未放肆 見我愛見的相知
要抱要吻要怎麼也好 不要相信一切有下次
相擁我所愛又花幾多秒
這幾秒 能夠做到又有多少
未算少 足夠遺憾忘掉

多少抱憾 多少過路人 太懂估計 卻不懂愛錫自身
人人在發奮 想起他朝都興奮
但今晚未過 你要過也很吸引
縱不信運 你不過是人 理想很遠 愛於咫尺卻在等
來日別操心 趁你有能力開心
世界有太多東西發生 不要等到天上俯瞰

Love Too Late

In the past, my best friend and I used to hang out all the time. But after we both got jobs, we didn't have as much time for each other.
And finally, we made an appointment to meet up, but we had nothing to say to each other. We were as distant as water.
I spend every day with my dad, and I always want to complain to him, but when I look up, I see that he has more wrinkles.
And the fact that he's getting old is something I've never noticed before. I feel so guilty and worried.
The most painful thing is to love too late. There are some things that can't wait for a specific day.

I was so focused on my career that I was selfish.
Even in my dreams, I was used to the pressure of having to succeed.
The scariest thing is that love needs to be timely. A second's delay can turn your feelings into history.

Even when I'm busy, I'll make time to see the people I love.
I want to hug, kiss, and do whatever it takes. But I always say I'll do it next time.
I feel like my health is getting worse. I went to see a doctor and he told me to stop being so busy.

And I have so many DVDs, but I've never watched them because I'm always busy.
I work all day and night, saving money so that I can give it to her on Christmas and ask her to marry me.
But who knew that before I could even ask, she would tell me that she couldn't take it anymore, that she had hated me for a long time.
It's too easy to make mistakes, to love too late. How could I have known that she wouldn't be able to wait for me?

I was so focused on my career that I never realized
That happiness would pass me by, that I would never be able to tell her how I felt.
The word love also needs to be timely. A second's delay can turn your feelings into history.

Why didn't I make time to see the people I love?
I should have hugged, kissed, and done whatever it took. I shouldn't have believed that I would have another chance.
It only takes a few seconds to hug someone you love.
But how many people actually do it?
It's not that little. It's enough to make me forget my regrets.

So many regrets, so many people who have passed me by. I'm too good at guessing, but I don't know how to love myself.
Everyone is working hard, thinking about how great tomorrow will be.
But tonight is not over yet. You should live for today, too.
Even if you don't believe in fate, you're only human. Your dreams are far away, but love is right here, waiting for you.
Don't worry about the future. Enjoy yourself while you still can.
There are so many things happening in the world. Don't wait until you're looking down from heaven to see them.
