Lyrics and translation 許冠傑 - 天才白痴梦




天才白痴梦
Dreams of the Genius and the Idiot
人皆寻梦 梦里不分西东
We all search for dreams, dreams that transcend all boundaries
片刻春风得意
Moments of triumph and joy
未知景物朦胧
where the future is an elusive mirage
人生如梦 梦里辗转吉凶
Life is like a dream, filled with both joy and sorrow
寻乐不堪苦困
We seek pleasure, avoiding pain
未识苦与乐同
Unaware that pain and pleasure are intertwined
天造之材 皆有其用
Everyone has a purpose, a unique gift
振翅高飞 无须在梦中
Spread your wings and soar, don't let dreams hold you back
南柯长梦 梦去不知所踪
Long dreams of wealth and power, vanished like a wisp of smoke
醉翁他朝醒觉
When the drunkard finally awakens
是否跨凤乘龙
Will he be riding high or merely a footnote in history?
天造之材 皆有其用
Everyone has a purpose, a unique gift
振翅高飞 无须在梦中
Spread your wings and soar, don't let dreams hold you back
何必寻梦 梦里甘苦皆空
Why chase dreams, when they are but fleeting illusions?
劝君珍惜此际
My dear, cherish this moment
自当欣慰无穷
And find solace in its boundless beauty
何必寻梦
Why chase dreams?
