Lyrics and translation 李克勤 - 再見穿梭機 (Live)

再見穿梭機 (Live)

它 抬頭望天空等倒數
兒童為新聞轉播默禱
像航天的旅途
揹着幾億個人憧憬美好

它 從前代表比天更高
明年即將退役於地牢
一代人 一轉眼 那樣老

你 讓任務如期完成並劃下記號
現在或悠悠閒閒帶愛子散步
穿梭宇宙的自豪
已用於應付人生的倒數

你 別妒恨成為成人越大越退步
自虐地重提從前有過的憤怒
新世紀等你效勞
脱下這制服 留低火箭 下班車已到

他 猶如墜毀的挑戰者
完成歷史的職責下車
但留低的血紅
照亮幾億個全新挑戰者

他 斜陽下將身影割捨
遺留千古唱頌的熱情
一飛已 沖天去 那份野

你 讓任務如期完成並劃下記號
現在或悠悠閒閒帶愛子散步
穿梭宇宙的自豪
已用於應付人生的倒數

你 別妒恨成為成人越大越退步
自虐地重提從前上太空散步
新世紀等你效勞
脱下這制服 留低火箭 下班車已到

要做的經已做得都算好
你下一章已到

Farewell, Space Shuttle (Live)

It looked up to the sky, awaiting the countdown
Children prayed in silence for the news broadcast
Like a space voyage
Carrying the aspirations of hundreds of millions for a better future

It once represented heights that surpassed the heavens
Next year, it will withdraw to a terrestrial retirement
A generation - in the blink of an eye, they've grown so old

You ensured the mission's success, leaving your mark
Now you stroll leisurely, hand-in-hand with your beloved child
The pride of traversing the cosmos
Now serves to counter life's countdown

Don't begrudge becoming an adult, even as your steps falter
Masochistically recalling past frustrations
A new century awaits your service
Take off this uniform, leave behind the rocket, the shuttle home has arrived

He, like the fallen Challenger
Fulfilled his historic duty and disembarked
But the blood he shed
Illuminates the path for countless new Challengers

He, beneath the setting sun, relinquished his silhouette
Leaving behind a legacy of passion to be sung through the ages
Soaring, ascending to the heavens - that audacity

You ensured the mission's success, leaving your mark
Now you stroll leisurely, hand-in-hand with your beloved child
The pride of traversing the cosmos
Now serves to counter life's countdown

Don't begrudge becoming an adult, even as your steps falter
Masochistically recalling past spacewalks
A new century awaits your service
Take off this uniform, leave behind the rocket, the shuttle home has arrived

What needed to be done, has been done well
Your next chapter awaits
