Paroles et traduction 張敬軒 - Cha Xiang Qu

Cha Xiang Qu

秒針 滴答滴答滴答滴答
鐘 擺呀擺遍工作間
隱身 躲進洗手間去吧

分針 滴答滴答滴答滴答
我不聽不看 慢不慢
轉眼至到八點半 不算難

日日看日報 看大市看售價
但大腦活動極空白
有壓力 管他棲息於高峰低窪
外賣送到就作反

歎一歎下午茶去謀殺時間
奶茶太淡 放鹽放糖要破格
話說 我有我 理想要做吧
刀叉筷子充當畫筆作畫
歇一歇造個夢謀殺時間
要是你有實際想法
若再怠慢時間就沒時間 喔噢

眼睛 再眨呀眨呀眨呀眨
書 一冊一冊被複習
再細察揣摩那 新意吧

日日 看雜誌 看習作看問答
但大腦活動極空白
太過悶 管他當中的真真假假
外賣送到就作反

歎一歎下午茶去謀殺時間
奶茶太淡 放鹽放糖要破格
話說 我有我 理想要做吧
刀叉筷子充當畫筆作畫
歇一歇造個夢謀殺時間
看著世界逐秒蒸法
就算 發夢是壞習慣
有些美夢已在歲月裡霧化

但你不想麼 再想想它
這麼辛苦幹嗎

如 歎一歎下午茶也沒時間
閉著兩眼 發夢發十秒夠嗎
就算過兩秒 會返到現實
好歹記得 你捉緊過它
歇一歇做個夢也沒有時間
這樣拼搏愉快嗎
就算 發夢是壞習慣

試問下 誰不想將每一秒美麗化
喔
你內裡 有個夢 是嗎

Tea Time Murder

Second hand, tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock
Clock, swing through the workplace
Hide, into the bathroom

Minute hand, tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock
I won't listen, won't watch, don't care how slow
Turn around, it's half past eight, not difficult

Every day, read the news, watch the market, watch the sales
But my mind is blank
Feeling the pressure, no matter its source
When the takeout arrives, I'll protest

Sigh, go for afternoon tea to kill time
Tea too weak, add salt and sugar to be unique
I have my own aspirations, don't I?
Knives and forks and chopsticks, they're my paintbrushes
Take a break, dream a dream, to kill time
If you have any practical ideas
Time waits for no one, my dear, oh oh

Eyes, blink blink blink blink blink
Books, one by one, reviewed
Look closely, observe the new ideas

Every day, read magazines, essays and Q&As
But my mind is blank
It's so boring, don't care about the truth or lies
When the takeout arrives, I'll protest

Sigh, go for afternoon tea to kill time
Tea too weak, add salt and sugar to be unique
I have my own aspirations, don't I?
Knives and forks and chopsticks, they're my paintbrushes
Take a break, dream a dream, to kill time
Watching the world evaporate, second by second
Even if dreaming is a bad habit
Some dreams fade into oblivion

But won't you think about it again?
Why work so hard, my dear?

Like, sigh, no time for afternoon tea
Close your eyes, dream for ten seconds, is that enough?
Even if in two seconds, you'll be back to reality
At least remember, you held onto it
Take a break, dream a dream, no time for that either
Is this struggle worth it?
Even if dreaming is a bad habit

Who doesn't want to make every second beautiful?
Oh
Inside you, there's a dream, isn't there?
