Lyrics and translation 古巨基 - 我生




我生
I Am Born
最初睁大眼睛
When I first opened my eyes
看到身影不懂应
I saw vague figures I couldn't comprehend
然后我
And then I
大笑大喊不停
Laught and babbled non-stop
旁人极高兴
Those around me were overjoyed
是我首次能任性
For the first time I was able to act as I pleased
似想毕生的眼泪
As if I wanted to cry out all the tears of my life
要尽快哭清
To weep them clean, as quickly as I could
也许感到在世间路程
Perhaps I sensed that the journey of my life
全是山高水深的险径
Would be a treacherous one, fraught with peril
人其实怎么长大
How do people grow up?
怎么懂性
How do they learn to behave properly?
有那位必须尊敬
Whom should I respect unconditionally?
为何要说话无权大声只听指令
Why must I speak softly and obey without question?
为何事值得恭听
What things are worthy of my attention?
哪个教晓我
Who will teach me these things?
是甚么叫做友情
What is friendship, exactly?
何谓倾出致诚
What does it mean to be truly sincere?
我何日乍醒
When will I suddenly awake?
终于懂得爱情
When will I finally comprehend love?
暗里喜欢性
Secretly harboring desires
趣怪得要命
It's all so delightfully strange
最初哭了便诞生
When I was first born, I cried
已很想去问大人
And immediately wanted to ask the adults
谁令我在这世间光临
Who brought me into this world?
从来未应允
I never asked to be born
为哪种意义降生
What is the meaning of my existence?
我该开心抑庆幸
Should I be happy or grateful?
每日每天等
Each and every day I wait,
到终点以后我的灵魂
For the end of my journey, when my soul
还未知可会再踏红尘
May once again grace this mortal realm
人其实怎么长大
How do people grow up?
未必懂性
Do they not learn to behave properly?
已说靠英文取胜
They say that English will make me successful
为何要我学明朝历史便会聪明
Why must I study Ming dynasty history to be intelligent?
学完甚么懂感性
How will learning such things make me more compassionate?
哪个判决脚路到最快会尽兴
Who can tell me the fastest way to true happiness?
怎么有需要与我队友争胜
Why must I compete with my teammates for victory?
其实为甚么长大
Why grow up at all?
甚么保证
What is the point?
我有竞争的本领
I have a competitive nature
曾也想过能做甚么活得光荣
And I've often wondered what I could do to live a life of honor
令人值得尊敬
To earn the respect of others
我也算生性
I am naturally kind
但甚么叫做世情
But what exactly is the nature of the world?
难道一生旅程
Is the journey of life
要连续晋升
A constant pursuit of advancement,
找到钱找爱情
The acquisition of wealth and love?
我会否心领
Will I ever find contentment?
