Paroles et traduction Eric Kwok - 好得閒

好得閒

望著了冷巷那漆油 撲落
澄藍淡白襯托質感 厚薄
如牆上人像但眼睛 竟起角
古怪如畢加索
望著每隻螞蟻奔走 發現
原來若是碰見都親 個面
沿途互贈食物氣息 的曲線
非有閒怎可見

人每日有事幹先得到認同
無數事幹或者只得兩種
除了賺錢便撫摸所愛面容
上進心塞滿空檔 何謂有空

找不到事忙 為何便要不安
書本要亂看 無聊才是健康
假使每事忙 住豪宅也冤枉
海景再浩壯 沒時候細心看
心胸放下價值 全日也開放

若渡假也要兩顆心配合
為何用盡每秒追趕 購物
沿途無無謂謂逛街 先高貴
心有限空位 想美食多枉費

人每日有事幹先得到認同
無數事幹或者只得兩種
除了賺錢便撫摸所愛面容
上進心塞滿空檔 何謂有空

找不到事忙 為何便要不安
書本要亂看 無聊才是健康
假使每事忙 住豪宅也冤枉
海景再浩壯 沒時候細心看
心胸放下價值 全日也開放

人每日有事幹先得到認同
無數事幹或者只得兩種
除了賺錢便撫摸所愛面容
上進心塞滿空檔 何謂有空

不必每事忙 才能活到心安
不知覺亂看 才能描劃月光
不刻意扮忙 頓明塵世風光
捐款到異國 悠閒才有空幹
不必有大意義 才能夠釋放

So Free

Gazing at the cold alley's scattered paint,
A serene blue and white accentuating the texture's depth,
Like a portrait on a wall, yet the eyes
Have corners, as if by Picasso's design.
Watching each ant scurry about, I realize,
That if we met, we'd become acquainted,
Exchanging scents and food along our winding paths,
A sight only the unoccupied can behold.

Each day, humans must toil to earn society's approval,
Countless tasks that can be boiled down to two:
Making money or caressing the face of a loved one.
Ambition fills every spare moment, leaving no room for idleness.

Why should inactivity breed unease?
Books are meant to be browsed at random, boredom is a sign of health.
If you're always busy, a mansion becomes a prison,
A breathtaking ocean view, unseen due to endless commitments.
Free your mind from society's values and embrace the open expanse.

Even a vacation requires two hearts in harmony,
Why exhaust yourself with endless shopping and appointments?
Stroll aimlessly through the streets, it's the height of luxury.
Your mind has limited space, don't waste it on excessive consumption.

Each day, humans must toil to earn society's approval,
Countless tasks that can be boiled down to two:
Making money or caressing the face of a loved one.
Ambition fills every spare moment, leaving no room for idleness.

You don't have to be constantly busy to find peace of mind.
Idle gazing allows you to capture the moonlight's caress.
Resist the urge to appear occupied, and you'll awaken to the world's beauty.
Donate to a foreign charity, for in leisure lies fulfillment.
There's no need for grand gestures, liberation can be found in the simplest acts.
