Lyrics and translation 楊千嬅 - 八里公路

八里公路

的士車廂裏盡管挨近你
心知擠迫得你喘不過氣
未去到結尾並不知相戀這段路太短
沿路數十裏怎麼刻骨銘記

任我再接送你 你邊走邊嘆氣
原來白費心機
繼續愛你令我自卑
也許愛到最遠 我們只得八公里
還可以 纏繞你 幾公里
難為我 容忍我 都是你
捱夠未 捱夠未
一路自虐至死仍不肯放低你
從今起 離開你 幾千里
行兩步 捱兩步
但求為你 就放下你

司機 怎講笑 亦不懂再笑
咪錶 好比心跳不可再跳
讓你我見證 幸福的風景一寸寸變小
回望倒後鏡 自己都不見了

習慣每晚接你 滿街燈色太美
唯求做你司機
看盡處處是紀念碑
我竟閉上兩眼看成這一世福氣
還可以 纏繞你 幾公里
難為我 容忍我 都是你
捱夠未 捱夠未
一路自虐至死仍不肯放低你
從今起 離開你 幾千里
行兩步 捱兩步
愈行愈遠 離我萬里

Eight Mile Road

In the confined space of your taxi
I know you can barely breathe
We haven't reached the end yet, but I know this road is too short
All the way here, I've held on to every moment

I'll keep picking you up, but you walk away with a sigh
My efforts were wasted
Continuing to love you makes me feel inferior
Maybe we can only get as far as eight kilometers
I can still cling to you, for a few more kilometers
I'm so selfish, I'm annoying
Have I endured enough, have I endured enough
I abuse myself all the way to death and still refuse to let you go
From now on, I'll leave you, for thousands of kilometers
I'll walk away, and endure
I'll let you go, for you

Driver, how can I laugh, I can't laugh anymore
The meter, like my heart, can't beat anymore
Let us witness, the scenery of happiness shrink with each passing moment
I look in the rearview mirror, and I can't even see myself

I'm used to picking you up every night, the city lights are so beautiful
I only wanted to be your driver
I've seen all the landmarks
I closed my eyes and saw them as my life's blessings
I can still cling to you, for a few more kilometers
I'm so selfish, I'm annoying
Have I endured enough, have I endured enough
I abuse myself all the way to death and still refuse to let you go
From now on, I'll leave you, for thousands of kilometers
I'll walk away, and endure
The further I walk, the further away from me you become
