Lyrics and translation 周國賢 - 塵世美




塵世美
The Beauty of the Mortal World
趕快記錄生命的美好
Hurry and capture the beauty of life
延後發現世界多糟糕
Before it's too late and you see how awful the world is
無用太快了悟這百態
No need to rush to understand this world's many faces
上千個問號某天才存入腦
Thousands of questions will fill your mind one day
用那水筆蘸起雲霞染於畫布
Use that pen to dip into the clouds and paint on the canvas
萬事萬物沒變好 誰料一秒已長高
Nothing has changed for the better, but you've grown taller in a second
望你不惜一切抱著丹青多麼美好
I hope you'll hold onto that paintbrush for dear life, it's so beautiful
願望寄望沒細數 遺傳理念也沒再三探討
Your hopes and dreams are countless, and your inherited values haven't been fully explored
望你揮筆之際彷彿拯救著國土
I hope that when you paint, it feels like you're saving the world
還好 看青天和綠草
It's okay to look at the blue sky and the green grass
這刻得你望到
This moment is all yours
抱擁你畫過長夜清早
I embrace the long nights and early mornings you've painted
永不要為予父母親自傲
Never be arrogant because of your parents
亦不要獻技尋覓他人仰慕
And don't show off your skills to seek admiration from others
童話故事跌入你幻想裡亂舞
Let fairy tales and sea monsters dance in your imagination
讓天國少艾深海妖怪畫滿你畫簿
Fill your sketchbook with heavenly maidens and sea monsters
赤子心才是寶
An innocent heart is a treasure
以天真筆法繪出這生初稿
Use your naive brushstrokes to paint the first draft of your life
莫怨坊間所欠沉默地填補
Don't complain about what the world owes you, but quietly fill in the gaps
光影色彩雖然未夠好
The light and colors may not be perfect
用你視角塗畫出新世界美麗在前途
Use your perspective to paint a new world, with beauty in your future
塵世終於都有天安好
One day, the mortal world will finally be at peace
萬事萬物沒變好 誰料一秒已長高
Nothing has changed for the better, but you've grown taller in a second
望你不惜一切抱著丹青多麼美好
I hope you'll hold onto that paintbrush for dear life, it's so beautiful
願望寄望沒細數 遺傳理念也沒再三探討
Your hopes and dreams are countless, and your inherited values haven't been fully explored
望你揮筆之際彷彿拯救著國土
I hope that when you paint, it feels like you're saving the world
還好 看青天和綠草
It's okay to look at the blue sky and the green grass
這刻得你望到
This moment is all yours
抱擁你畫過長夜清早
I embrace the long nights and early mornings you've painted
永不要為予父母親自傲
Never be arrogant because of your parents
亦不要獻技尋覓他人仰慕
And don't show off your skills to seek admiration from others
童話故事跌入你幻想裡亂舞
Let fairy tales and sea monsters dance in your imagination
讓整個宇宙閃閃星宿畫滿你畫簿
Fill your sketchbook with every star in the universe
赤子心才是寶
An innocent heart is a treasure
以天真筆法繪出這生初稿
Use your naive brushstrokes to paint the first draft of your life
莫怨坊間所欠沉默地填補
Don't complain about what the world owes you, but quietly fill in the gaps
光影色彩雖然未夠好
The light and colors may not be perfect
用你視角塗畫出新世界美麗在前途
Use your perspective to paint a new world, with beauty in your future
塵世終於都有天安好
One day, the mortal world will finally be at peace
仰首烏雲默禱
As I gaze up at the dark clouds and pray
那漆黑中有七彩快要出土
I see the colors of the rainbow hidden within the darkness
用你一點一線誠實地重組
Use your strokes and lines to recreate the world
今天即使光明未見到
Even if the light is not visible today
用你直覺描畫出新世界美麗在前途
Use your intuition to paint a new world, with beauty in your future
塵世終於洇染出安好
One day, the mortal world will be filled with peace
塵世終於可擦走懊惱
One day, the mortal world will be free from sorrow
噠啦噠
Oh da-la-da oh
噠啦噠 喔喔
Da-la-da oh oh-oh
