Paroles et traduction 楊千嬅 - 麥芽糖

麥芽糖

和你上次坦率傾訴生存意義
像塵封已久多年往事
為何向陌生的他抒發友情更易
只怪最好的光景到此

繁忙到沒法補祝一句生辰快樂
任由親厚的感情變薄
然而怪罪你都怕令你更為冷漠
最真心說話仍然未講

除了我記得誰會記得 曾經嚮往的四五年
和你借一元兩個仙 如今只償還你掛念
麥芽糖始終多麼甜 苦的不過這天發現
平凡日子 明年沒今天

除了我記得誰會記得 曾經聽你講過戲言
和你那天遊戲半天 憑竹蜻蜓留個記念
在人海的滄海桑田 已是定律不可改變
懷疑就此 和你揮手 相識不再見

難過在於只可給你包容見諒
漸遺失你的感情重量
然而我病痛都要扮作聲線鏗鏘
你總需要為前途著想

除了我記得誰會記得 曾經嚮往的四五年
和你借一元兩個仙 如今只償還你掛念
麥芽糖始終多麼甜 苦的不過這天發現
平凡日子 明年沒今天

除了我記得誰會記得 曾經聽你講過戲言
和你那天遊戲半天 憑竹蜻蜓留個記念
在人海的滄海桑田 已是定律不可改變
回頭或許 難過始終有點

斜陽下山 然後日出 只有它 不會厭

Malt Candy

The last time we frankly talked about the meaning of life
Feels like a dusty memory from years ago
Why is it easier to share my feelings with a stranger?
It's just that the best of times have come and gone

I'm too busy to even say happy birthday
Letting our close bond thin and fade away
But I'm afraid blaming you will only make you colder
The truest words remain unspoken

Besides me, who remembers those four or five years we longed for?
I borrowed a dollar and two cents from you, now all I can repay is my longing
Malt candy is still so sweet, but the bitterness lies in today's realization
Ordinary days, next year won't be the same

Besides me, who remembers the jokes you used to tell?
The day we played together, a bamboo dragonfly as a memento
In the vast sea of humanity, change is an inevitable law
I suspect this is goodbye, a farewell to our acquaintance

The sadness lies in only being able to offer you understanding and forgiveness
Gradually losing the weight of your affection
But even when I'm sick, I pretend my voice is strong
You always need to think about your future

Besides me, who remembers those four or five years we longed for?
I borrowed a dollar and two cents from you, now all I can repay is my longing
Malt candy is still so sweet, but the bitterness lies in today's realization
Ordinary days, next year won't be the same

Besides me, who remembers the jokes you used to tell?
The day we played together, a bamboo dragonfly as a memento
In the vast sea of humanity, change is an inevitable law
Looking back, perhaps, there's still a hint of sadness

The sun sets, then rises, only it, never tires
