Lyrics and translation 關楚耀 - 我這一代人

我這一代人

你問句我是誰
眼看煙花跌墜
我共你無力了 下意識一小睡
呆望市裏灰塵 淌出憂慮
從沒有 想變做誰
迎面雪花 隨便結聚

但 尋覓方向 迫出理想
依世道照畫葫蘆沒趣
但 猶豫不決 孤芳讚賞
如班車卡在懸崖 沒加油 沒撤退
但 於興建中 於破壞裏
汗會流 太快便覺累

狂風要撕碎 城市秩與序
浪裏怎麼爭取 誰要輩份允許
橋墩已粉碎 漩渦裏宿醉
哪一個偏倚 哪一個中立
讓恨仇沉湎這一代裏

我問句你是誰
野獸衣冠兩類
我共你無別了 蝶與蜂找雌蕊
回望進取的人 喪屍一具
無伴侶 不愛着誰
沿路背影 隨便散聚

但 尋覓方向 迫出理想
依世道照畫葫蘆沒趣
但 猶豫不決 孤芳讚賞
如班車卡在懸崖 沒加油 沒撤退
但 於興建中 於破壞裏
汗會流 太快便覺累

狂風要撕碎 城市秩與序
浪裏怎麼爭取 誰要輩份允許
橋墩已粉碎 漩渦裏宿醉
哪一個偏倚 哪一個中立
讓恨仇沉痛刺骨

常識已失去 喉舌沒過濾
任你爭鬥爭取 重建每段脊椎
良知已死去 紅色箭靶裏
哪一個掙扎 哪一個肅立
讓眉頭還看這一代裏

我面對我是誰
太多煙花跌墜
答辯已無用了 下雨聲很尖鋭

My Generation

Who are you?
I see fireworks falling
I'm powerless with you, I'm nodding off
Staring at the city's dust, flowing with worry
I've never wanted to be someone else
Snowflakes in the wind, gathering randomly

But, searching for direction, forcing out ideals
Following the world, drawing a gourd is boring
But, hesitating, solitary and admired
Like a bus stuck on a cliff, no fuel, no way out
But, in the midst of construction, in the midst of destruction
Sweat will flow, and too quickly we'll feel tired

The gale is about to tear apart the city's order
How can we fight in the waves, who needs permission from seniority?
The bridge piers have crumbled, hungover in the whirlpool
Which side is biased, which side is neutral?
Let hatred sink into this generation

Who are you?
Beasts in sheep's clothing
I'm no different from you, a butterfly and a bee searching for nectar
Looking back at the ambitious ones, they're just a bunch of zombies
No partners, no love for anyone
Silhouettes along the way, gathering and dispersing randomly

But, searching for direction, forcing out ideals
Following the world, drawing a gourd is boring
But, hesitating, solitary and admired
Like a bus stuck on a cliff, no fuel, no way out
But, in the midst of construction, in the midst of destruction
Sweat will flow, and too quickly we'll feel tired

The gale is about to tear apart the city's order
How can we fight in the waves, who needs permission from seniority?
The bridge piers have crumbled, hungover in the whirlpool
Which side is biased, which side is neutral?
Let hatred sink in and pierce us to the bone

Common sense is lost, the larynx is not filtered
Let you fight and strive, rebuild every spine
Conscience is dead, in the red bullseye
Which side is struggling, which side is firm?
Let our brows still watch this generation

Who am I?
Too many fireworks have fallen
Defense is useless now, the sound of rain is so sharp
