Lyrics and translation 鄧麗欣 - 七夕 (Live)

七夕 (Live)

問 織女怎會熱愛牛郎
淚隔幾光年 柔腸似餓狼
謝七巧佳節 渡鵲橋一趟
天規哪管圓還是方 讓苦戀釋放
難道愛 未滿資 其實幸福非天賜
誰在意 逆聖旨 為何定要到七夕
方可見一次 難道中國傳奇是
情要變慘事 憑遺憾出詩意
是 今天的我遇上牛郎
在故宮輕狂 離愁卻難防
為北京嚮往 但再度交往
不想變織女來硬闖 就各自淡忘
誰願似 舊女子 重逢若果得一次
懷念怨 預約苦 遺忘大概更不易
不想上京師 然後親口跟你講
又過了一年 期望未必一致
難道愛 未滿資 其實幸福非天賜
誰在意 逆聖旨 為何定要到七夕
方可見一次 難道中國傳奇是
情要變慘事 憑遺憾出詩意
不想上京師 然後親口跟你講
又過了一年 期望未必一致
如面試 換襯衣 然而真不好意思
事隔已多年 連容貌都不似

Qixi (Live)

I wonder how the Weaver Girl can love the Cowherd
Tears are separated by light years, my heart yearns like a hungry wolf
Thank you for this Double Seventh Festival, for allowing me to cross the Magpie Bridge
Heaven's rules don't care if it's round or square, let this love be released
Is it that love isn't enough, that true happiness isn't bestowed by heaven?
Who cares about defying the Emperor's edict, why must we wait for the Double Seventh Festival
To see each other once? Is this Chinese legend
That love must turn into a tragedy, where poetry is born from regret?
It's that today I met the Cowherd
In the Forbidden City, with carefree abandon, but the sorrow of parting is inescapable
I long for Beijing, but meeting again
I don't want to become the Weaver Girl to forcefully break in, so let's just forget each other
Who would want to be like the women of old, if we are to meet again, even just once
I cherish the memories, I resent you, I make plans for pain, forgetting is probably even harder
I don't want to go to the capital, and then tell you in person
Another year has passed, our hopes may not be aligned
Is it that love isn't enough, that true happiness isn't bestowed by heaven?
Who cares about defying the Emperor's edict, why must we wait for the Double Seventh Festival
To see each other once? Is this Chinese legend
That love must turn into a tragedy, where poetry is born from regret?
I don't want to go to the capital, and then tell you in person
Another year has passed, our hopes may not be aligned
It's like a job interview, changing clothes, but I'm really embarrassed
Years have passed, even my appearance is no longer the same
