Paroles et traduction Billy Choi - Sorry呢度係香港

Sorry呢度係香港

一生之中誰沒痛苦 得失少不免
看透世態每種風雨 披身打我面
身處高峰 嚐盡雨絲 輕風的加冕
偶爾踫上了急風 步伐未凌亂

無論商廈定酒店房 劏房定係工廠
冇錢就瞓後巷 Sorry呢度係香港
無論港島定係觀塘 都係一樣咁忙
成街都係工作狂 Sorry呢度係香港

無論俾人拉定告狀 抵死定係冤枉
幾時輪到你講 Sorry呢度係香港
無論以前幾咁輝煌 而家都回曬塘
你覺得仲有希望？ Sorry呢度係香港

覺得香港係無間地獄就舉高你對手
呢到本地人定新移民全部都爭緊樓
有啲人 朝八晚九有啲夜晚到日頭
去左外國啲朋友會問我點解仲唔走

走？呢到我屋企
唔想外人阻頭阻勢篤眼篤鼻
潑水節玩水都俾人拉先谷氣
想係呢到生存冇辦法唔攻利

人越大發現做人越難 怕失敗怕肉酸
繼續埋怨 係無間地獄唔走就揾搵窿捐
我眼都軟 你自己選擇困住係舒適圈
仲話我極端 喂我只不過係想衝出屋邨

無論商廈定酒店房 劏房定係工廠
冇錢就瞓後巷 Sorry呢度係香港
無論港島定係觀塘 都係一樣咁忙
成街都係工作狂 Sorry呢度係香港

無論俾人拉定告狀 抵死定係冤枉
幾時輪到你講 Sorry呢度係香港
無論以前幾咁輝煌 而家都回曬塘
你覺得仲有希望？ Sorry呢度係香港

身處高峰 嚐盡雨絲 輕風的加冕
偶爾踫上了急風 步伐未凌亂

家家有難念的經 行行岀狀元精英
唔一定考五星星先可以買到bling bling
就算取消通識 都咪死跟條公式
移到民要珍惜 幫你果幾個親戚

時薪60蚊打60年工先會上到樓
18歲就去曬18區睇樓攞公屋籌
而家仲叫人生仔 咪盞 笑死啲後生仔
以前好多大單位而家啲單位鬥慳位

咪繼撚續 圍爐享受12年免費教育
近大陸 霧霾好污濁 天氣濕又焗
離開地獄 走一轉渋谷 食餐鳥貴族
練定肌肉 想有好結局 唔好諗住舒服

無論商廈定酒店房 劏房定係工廠
冇錢就瞓後巷 Sorry呢度係香港
無論港島定係觀塘 都係一樣咁忙
成街都係工作狂 Sorry呢度係香港

無論俾人拉定告狀 抵死定係冤枉
幾時輪到你講 Sorry呢度係香港
無論以前幾咁輝煌 而家都回曬塘
你覺得仲有希望？ Sorry呢度係香港

I'm sorry, but this is Hong Kong

Throughout life, who among us has not known anguish? And who has not lost or failed?
I've seen all that this world has to show, and every kind of trouble has come my way.
At the peak of success, I faced the gentle touch of drizzle and soft wind,
And the occasional gust of wind that buffeted me, but did not unbalance me

No matter if I am in a luxury hotel room or a cubicle, on building sites or factories.
If I have no money, I'll be sleeping in the back alleys. I'm sorry, but this is Hong Kong.
No matter where I am, in rich Hong Kong Island or working-class Kwun Tong,
Everybody seems to be crazy busy. I'm sorry, but this is Hong Kong.

No matter if I am arrested or sued, if I deserve it or if I am wronged,
When will it be my turn to speak? I'm sorry, but this is Hong Kong.
No matter how brilliant my past, now it's all gone.
Do you still think there is hope? Sorry, this is Hong Kong.

If you think that Hong Kong is a living hell, raise your hand high.
Here, whether you were born here or you are a new immigrant, everybody is scrambling for a place to live.
Some people work from 8:00 in the morning until 9:00 at night, while others work from evening until dawn.
My friends who have gone abroad all ask me why I am still here.

Why not leave? This is my home.
I don't want outsiders to shove their noses into my business.
Last time I played with water during the Songkran festival, the police arrested me.
To survive here, I have no choice but to be competitive, to strive for success.

The older I get, the more difficult life becomes. I am afraid of failure, afraid of embarrassment.
If I keep complaining and saying that this is a living hell, I will never escape. I might as well find a hole to hide in.
I can see that you're getting soft. You've chosen to stay in your comfort zone.
You say I'm extreme. But I just want to get out of this rat race.

No matter if I am in a luxury hotel room or a cubicle, on building sites or factories.
If I have no money, I'll be sleeping in the back alleys. I'm sorry, but this is Hong Kong.
No matter where I am, in rich Hong Kong Island or working-class Kwun Tong,
Everybody seems to be crazy busy. I'm sorry, but this is Hong Kong.

No matter if I am arrested or sued, if I deserve it or if I am wronged,
When will it be my turn to speak? I'm sorry, but this is Hong Kong.
No matter how brilliant my past, now it's all gone.
Do you still think there is hope? Sorry, this is Hong Kong.

At the peak of success, I faced the gentle touch of drizzle and soft wind,
And the occasional gust of wind that buffeted me, but did not unbalance me

Every family has trouble, and every street has its successful people.
Getting straight A's isn't the only way to make a good living.
Never mind the abolition of liberal studies, don't just blindly follow the rules.
If you have family members who have emigrated, get in touch and let them know you appreciate them.

Working at $60 an hour for 60 years will get you an apartment.
Starting at age 18, start visiting all 18 districts to get on public housing waiting lists.
And you still want to have children? Just laugh at those poor young people and get on my nerves.
Lots of big apartments in the past, now all the apartments are tiny and cramped.

Don't just keep sitting around, basking in the glow of your 12 years of free education.
We are right next to mainland China. The smog is terrible most of the time, and the weather is always humid and muggy.
Get away from this hell hole and take a trip to Shibuya. Eat a meal at Torikizoku.
Work out and get in shape. Don't expect to feel comfortable because there is no happy ending.

No matter if I am in a luxury hotel room or a cubicle, on building sites or factories.
If I have no money, I'll be sleeping in the back alleys. I'm sorry, but this is Hong Kong.
No matter where I am, in rich Hong Kong Island or working-class Kwun Tong,
Everybody seems to be crazy busy. I'm sorry, but this is Hong Kong.

No matter if I am arrested or sued, if I deserve it or if I am wronged,
When will it be my turn to speak? I'm sorry, but this is Hong Kong.
No matter how brilliant my past, now it's all gone.
Do you still think there is hope? Sorry, this is Hong Kong.
