Lyrics and translation 楊千嬅 - 一千零一個




一千零一個
One Thousand and One
嫌阿拉丁神燈的角色俗套又懷舊
I think the role of Aladdin's genie is a bit old-fashioned
難道講一講你的新朋友
Why don't you talk about your new friend?
嫌神話說夠 再用梁祝伴奏
I think mythology is so overused, I would even use the Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto
留下聽一千個故事至准走
I won't let you leave until you listen to a thousand stories
聞說某君和她的情人快活過之後
I heard about a man and his lover who had a good time
才承認往日滿足感未夠
Only to realize that they weren't satisfied with the past.
然而留下了壞帳 會令餘生內疚
But they left behind a debt, which will make them feel guilty for the rest of their lives.
你猜他能否開口
Do you think he'll be able to say it?
未夠癡纏吧 讓我講多一個
This isn't dramatic enough, let me tell you another story.
其實都關於我 你大概清楚
Actually, this is about me, you probably know.
遊戲都一早玩完
Our game was over a long time ago.
贏便慶祝 輸了氣便斷
We celebrated when we won, and we broke up when we lost.
來吧你想殺便殺
Come on, kill me if you want
不必心軟只望你心酸
Don't be soft, just make me feel sad.
活了這一千天
I have lived for a thousand days.
已完成宏願 儘管苦短
I have fulfilled my ambition, even though it was short-lived.
情話若果一早已說完
If we have already said all the love words,
童話亦逼不得已 講過便算
Then the fairy tale is over, it's done.
傳說有一男一女同偕到白髮之後
Legend has it that a man and a woman lived happily ever after
才懷念刻骨銘心的舊友
Only to remember their old friends after they had gray hair.
回頭陪著那合照
Looking back at the photo with them,
塊肉餘生渡過
Passing the rest of their lives alone.
你猜猜誰敢分手
Do you think who dared to break up?
未夠癡纏吧
This isn't dramatic enough
讓我講多一個
Let me tell you another story.
其實都關於我 你大概清楚
Actually, this is about me, you probably know.
遊戲都一早玩完
Our game was over a long time ago.
贏便慶祝 輸了氣便斷
We celebrated when we won, and we broke up when we lost.
來吧你想殺便殺
Come on, kill me if you want
不必心軟只望你心酸
Don't be soft, just make me feel sad.
活了這一千天
I have lived for a thousand days,
已完成宏願 儘管苦短
I have fulfilled my ambition, even though it was short-lived.
情話若果一早已說完
If we have already said all the love words,
童話亦逼不得已 講過便算
Then the fairy tale is over, it's done.

Don't be soft, just make me feel sad.
活了這一千天
I have lived for a thousand days,
已完成宏願 儘管苦短
I have fulfilled my ambition, even though it was short-lived.
情話若果一早已說完
If we have already said all the love words,
童話亦逼不得已 講過便算
Then the fairy tale is over, it's done.
