Lyrics and translation 李克勤 - 再見穿梭機




再見穿梭機
Goodbye Shuttle
擡頭望天空等倒數
It looks up at the sky and waits for the countdown
兒童為新聞轉播默禱
Children pray silently for the news broadcast
像航天的旅途
Like a space journey
背著幾億個人憧憬美好
Carrying the hopes and dreams of billions for a better future
從前代表比天更高
It used to represent something higher than the sky
明年即將退役於地牢
Next year it will retire to the dungeon
一代人 一轉眼 那樣老
A generation in the blink of an eye, so old
讓任務如期完成並劃下記號
You made the mission a success and left your mark
現在或悠悠閑閑帶愛子散步
Now you may be taking your beloved child for a leisurely walk
穿梭宇宙的自豪
The pride of a space traveler
已用於應付人生的倒數
Has already been used to deal with the countdown in life
別妒恨成為成人越大越退步
You don't have to envy becoming an adult, the older you get, the more you regress
自虐地重提從前有過的憤怒
Replay the anger you had before in a self-abusive way
新世紀等你效勞
The new century awaits your service
脫下這製服 留低火箭 下班車已到
Take off this uniform, leave the rocket, the下班车已到
猶如墜毀的「挑戰者」
He is like the crashed "Challenger"
完成歷史的職責下車
Completing the task of history and getting off the bus
但留低的血紅
But leaving behind blood red
照亮幾億個全新挑戰者
Illuminating billions of new challengers
斜陽下將身影割舍
He sheds his shadow under the setting sun
遺留千古唱頌的熱情
Leaving behind a legacy of passion
一飛已 沖天去 那份野
A single flight, a wild ride to the heavens
讓任務如期完成並劃下記號
You made the mission a success and left your mark
現在或悠悠閑閑帶愛子散步
Now you may be taking your beloved child for a leisurely walk
穿梭宇宙的自豪
The pride of a space traveler
已用於應付人生的倒數
Has already been used to deal with the countdown in life
別妒恨成為成人越大越退步
You don't have to envy becoming an adult, the older you get, the more you regress
自虐地重提從前上太空散步
Go to space for a self-abusive walk
新世紀等你效勞
The new century awaits your service
脫下這製服 留低火箭 下班車已到
Take off this uniform, leave the rocket, the下班车已到
要做的經已做得都算好
Everything that needed to be done has been done well
你下一章已到
Your next chapter has arrived
