Paroles et traduction 楊千嬅 - 電光幻影

電光幻影

撲面而過 如難過眼淚淋熄興奮烈火
如肥皂在肌膚上偶遇而破
如時間戰勝了的一聲苦情歌
本我到無我 天涯明滅忽爾沒痛楚

我或忘我 如微雨放低水花花向上舞的因果
夢想顛倒 一切在我 得所以失 執於對便錯
人存在只想為了求證 曾留下追憶裡的情景
但萬法好比電光的幻影 入靜了心境掛念難道靠眼睛

而遺憾都只為了求證 最看不開的竟然是感情 感情
愛恨無常 雪落無聲 色不過色 卻礙了空性

我或無我 唯時間會去解釋苦惱亦要我許可
恨只因愛 因愛及怖 歌者與歌 終須要掠過

人存在只想為了求證 曾留下追憶裡的情景
但萬法好比電光的幻影 入靜了心境掛念難道靠眼睛
而遺憾都只為了求證 最看不開的竟然是感情 感情
愛恨無常 雪落無聲 色不過色 卻礙了空性

Electric Light Illusion

Blowing past like tears of sorrow dousing the fire of excitement
Like soap bubbles bursting on the skin
Like a plaintive song defeated by time
From self to selflessness, the horizon disappears, the pain fades

I forget myself, like soft rain dripping upwards
Dreams overturned, all in my grasp. Victory and loss, right or wrong
Human existence seeks only proof, leaving behind memories in its wake
But all things are like electric light illusions, only stillness brings clarity. Can memory depend on sight?

And regret is only proof, the most difficult to accept is love, love
Love and hate are impermanent, snow falls silently, colors are merely colors, yet they hinder emptiness

I may or may not exist, but time will explain. My suffering requires my permission
Hate stems from love, from fear. The singer and the song must eventually pass

Human existence seeks only proof, leaving behind memories in its wake
But all things are like electric light illusions, only stillness brings clarity. Can memory depend on sight?
And regret is only proof, the most difficult to accept is love, love
Love and hate are impermanent, snow falls silently, colors are merely colors, yet they hinder emptiness
