為什麼 - Lowell Lo traduction en anglais

為什麼

为什么
卢冠廷 - 为什么
为什么生世间上
此间许多哀与伤
为什么争斗不绝
欢欣不永享
问为何人存隔膜
颜面无真相
问那天可找得到
理想中的乌托邦
为什么双鬓班白
光采消失面容上
为什么齿发俱落
一张怪模样
问为何年年春归
无术拦春去
问那天可再一见
我当初的旧模样
为什么竟会生病
辗辗反侧在床上
病塌中许我一问
怎可永无恙
问为何常存空想
愁病谁可免
是众生必须经过
四苦根本是平常
为甚么凄冷孤寂
轻飘飘像无力
为什么不见光亮
飘渺没形象
在目前如何风光
仍是泥中葬
没有牵走一根线
那许依恋臭皮囊
为什么生世间上
此间许多哀与伤
为什么争斗不绝
欢欣不永享

Lowell Lo - Why
Why are we born into this world, my love?
Where sorrow and pain abound
Why does the fighting never cease?
And joy is never long around
I ask why do people keep their distance, dear?
Their faces hiding what is true
I ask, will there ever be a day
When we find that utopian dream we knew?
Why does hair turn gray, my sweet?
And radiance fade from the face we see
Why do teeth and hair fall out?
Leaving a strange visage for you and me
I ask why does spring return each year?
Yet we're powerless to stop its fleeting grace
I ask, will there be a day I see again
The face I once knew, in its rightful place?
Why do we fall ill, my dear?
Tossing and turning in our bed
From my sickbed, let me ask
How can we ever be free from dread?
I ask why are we filled with empty thoughts?
Who can escape the pain of worry's sting?
It's a path all beings must tread, my love
These four sufferings are a common thing
Why this chilling loneliness?
A weightless, powerless feeling deep inside
Why is there no light to see?
Just a formless void, where shadows hide
No matter how glorious we appear right now
We'll all return to the earth below
We can't take a single thread with us, my love
From this frail, mortal shell, to which we cling so
Why are we born into this world, my dear?
Where sorrow and pain abound
Why does the fighting never cease?
And joy is never long around
