Lyrics and translation 許冠傑 - 有酒今朝醉 - Live




有酒今朝醉 - Live
Yesterday's Wine Drunker Today - Live
童年就八歲 多歡趣
Childhood, eight years old, so much fun
見到狗仔起勢追
Chasing after dogs with glee
爺爺話我最興嗲幾句
Grandfather said I was good at begging
買包花生卜卜脆
Buying a bag of crunchy peanuts
跳飛機 街邊玩水
Skipping rope and playing in the water
爺爺重教我講呢一句
Grandfather also taught me a saying
有酒應該今朝醉
Drink today, get drunk today
行年十八歲 懶風趣
Eighteen years old, feeling carefree
有名高級徙置區
Living in a fancy housing estate
求其係派對 仆倒去
Attending parties, getting wasted
見到「鴉烏」都請佢
Buying drinks for every "pretty bird"
咪個謙虛 幾大充有水
Pretending to be humble, but full of bravado
連隨問佢幾多歲
Even asking them how old they were
有酒應該今朝醉
Drink today, get drunk today
行年廿八歲 金翡翠
Twenty-eight years old, all glammed up
鬢影衣香拖靚女
Handsome and charming, with a beautiful girl
同埋趙阿翠 雙雙對
Together with Zhao A Cui, we were a perfect match
結果卒之娶左佢
And in the end, I married her
以為歲晚煎堆 點知「著」聲跟左老許
Thought it was a sweet ending, but then it all went wrong
無謂問過去 盞心碎
No use dwelling on the past, it only breaks my heart
有酒應該今朝醉
Drink today, get drunk today
行年六十八歲 腰骨都脆
Sixty-eight years old, my body is frail
阿Ge風濕中氣衰
My brother's got rheumatism and weak lungs
人地窒兩句 濕濕碎
People make fun of us, but we don't care
我都0骨聲吞左佢
We just swallow our pride and move on
嘆雙蒸 打牌抽水
Enjoying life, playing cards and drinking
回頭望過去 始終0個句
Looking back, it all comes down to one thing
有酒應該今朝醉
Drink today, get drunk today
