Paroles et traduction 楊千嬅 - 音樂盒

音樂盒

殘紅 隨浮雲漏低了夕照
情人 為何渡不過雀橋
蝴蝶 隨流光飛走了
遺下這一曲隔世慰寂寥

情侶 隨旋律在轉動
氣氛 彷彿回到舞會
圓舞 陪情人在幽會
轉眼 為相戀去碰杯

母親相信當記得 這音樂盒
一九五五或五四的信物
初戀哪日流失 她可會認得
她竟笑說是永遠秘密

惆悵舊歡如夢 隨那老歌流動
誰信 母親都試過心痛
任那位他追憶裡失蹤

難怪幸福如夢 隨那佈景流動
人客要走不到你不送
最苦的歌聽多快輕鬆
最初怎相信

情侶 年年月月轉動
每一粒音符我也懂
而我原來還被感動
竟有淚光閃過眼中

母親苦笑著拿出這音樂盒
將恩怨愛恨當作身外物
即使信物流失 她心裡認得
交給我當做聖誕禮物

惆悵舊歡如夢 隨那老歌流動
誰信 母親都試過心痛
任那位他追憶裡失蹤

難怪幸福如夢 隨那佈景流動
時間 若無其事令往事 慢慢化成配樂
誰在迎送

惆悵舊歡如夢 無數舞會流動
全靠母親比我更英勇
至可跟爸爸恩愛相擁

難怪幸運如夢 隨那佈景流動
時間 若無其事令往事慢慢化成配樂
誰在迎送

殘紅 隨浮雲漏低了夕照
情人 為何渡不過雀橋
蝴蝶 隨流光飛走了
遺下這一曲隔世慰寂寥

Music Box

Fading sunset, like red petals with fleeting clouds
My darling, why couldn't you cross the magpie bridge
Butterflies flew away with the flowing light
Leaving behind this melody across time to comfort the lonely

Lovers, turning with the melody
The atmosphere, as if back at the ball
Waltzing, with my lover in secret rendezvous
In the blink of an eye, toasting our love

Mother believed that you would remember this music box
A token from 1955 or '54
The day her first love faded away, would she recognize it
She merely smiled, saying it's a secret forever

Regretful, old love like a dream, flowing with that old song
Who would believe that my mother has also felt heartache
Letting that man disappear in her memories

No wonder happiness is like a dream, flowing with that scenery
My guest must leave, but you won't see him off
The saddest songs, when heard often, will soon be soothing
How could I have believed at first

Lovers, turning month after month
I understand every note
And I am still touched by it
With tears glistening in my eyes

My mother brought out this music box with a bitter smile
Treating grudges and love like things outside herself
Even if the token is lost, her heart remembers
Giving it to me as a Christmas present

Regretful, old love like a dream, flowing with that old song
Who would believe that my mother has also felt heartache
Letting that man disappear in her memories

No wonder happiness is like a dream, flowing with that scenery
Time nonchalantly turns the past into a soundtrack
Who's welcoming and seeing off

Regretful, old love like a dream, countless balls flowing
All thanks to my mother, who is braver than me
Until she could embrace my father lovingly

No wonder luck is like a dream, flowing with that scenery
Time nonchalantly turns the past into a soundtrack
Who's welcoming and seeing off

Fading sunset, like red petals with fleeting clouds
My darling, why couldn't you cross the magpie bridge
Butterflies flew away with the flowing light
Leaving behind this melody across time to comfort the lonely
