離魂記 - 周國賢 translation in English

離魂記

床邊 大家不知所措 似聽到了惡耗
病危的我 一刻見光 如雷似電
立即拋低軀殼 我掙出了靈魂 願有人 能傳話共你講

要放得開 愛是註定這生 令你死去活來
緣來緣盡 那位又開始再等待
埋下昨天墓誌銘 下一位 總會跟著來 不放下不能愛

人間 日子匆匆的過 你找到了情人
但誰知道 他竟去把別個寵幸
極不忍心的我 如常在夢裡 一再光臨 來傳話共你講

要放得開 愛是註定這生 令你死去活來
緣來緣盡 那位又開始再等待
你沒發現 靈魂在你身邊 把你都覆蓋 不過外殼變塵埃

你應婚 再悔婚 輪流還清愛恨
若然我有軀殼 你定會再屬於我

要放得開 愛是註定這生 令你死去活來
緣來緣盡 那位又開始再等待
陪伴那位直至死 才發現是錯愛 錯配的色彩

要放得開 看著你在這生 為愛死去活來
你或有日白髮蒼老 亦會等待
到下世再復來 人雖走 情都在 在星光繾綣間轉載

Separation

At my bedside, everyone was at a loss, as if they had heard bad news.
Me, on the verge of death, suddenly saw light, like a clap of thunder.
I immediately left my body, my soul struggling to escape. I wish someone could pass on my words to you.

Let it go. Love is destined to make you live and die in this life.
When缘来缘尽 comes, another will begin to wait again.
Bury the epitaph of yesterday. The next one will always follow. You cannot love without letting go.

In the mortal realm, days pass by quickly. You found a lover,
But who would have known that he would favor someone else?
Unable to bear it, I often visit you in your dreams, to pass on my words to you.

Let it go. Love is destined to make you live and die in this life.
When缘来缘尽 comes, another will begin to wait again.
You haven't noticed that my soul is by your side, enveloping you. It's just that my body has turned to dust.

You should marry, then regret it, and take turns paying off love and hate.
If I had a body, you would definitely be mine again.

Let it go. Love is destined to make you live and die in this life.
When缘来缘尽 comes, another will begin to wait again.
You stayed with him until death, only to realize that it was a mistake, a mismatched love.

Let it go. Watching you live and die for love in this life
One day you may have white hair, but you will still wait,
Until we meet again in the next life. People may be gone, but love remains, entwined in the starlight.
