Paroles et traduction 許廷鏗 - 白紙

白紙

捱過訓示 知道怕雷電
嚐過訓練 懂得裝笑臉
回復到出生當年
夜涼如夢 只依戀毛毯
那樣純潔 卻膚淺

除去往事 總會有殘念
流過眼淚 洗不清掛念
承受記憶的薰陶
自然明白 開心講條件
誰仍活在昨天
誰循序被這世界改變

人生若空白 心事清白 將白紙任填
人成長卻不免 因為經驗 哭笑也熟練
願我只知夢甜 不必識見
不管眼前 再過十數年
仍然 如白雪最初未污染

捱過世面 知道看情面
嚐過試煉 想堅守信念
能做到哭得坦然
像搖籃內 不必分場面
無奈負累太多
如何逃避這世界感染

人生若空白 心事清白 將白紙任填
人成長卻不免 因為經驗 哭笑也熟練
願我只知夢甜 不必識見
不管眼前 再過十數年
仍然 如白雪最初未污染

可以從頭 讓我塗改一遍
沒法知 又會被什麼色彩渲染

誰生命空白 心事清白 將白紙任填
人成長卻不免 因為經驗 哭笑也熟練
願我只懂睡眠 懵懂不變
不必發現 到處亦有塵埃污染
乾淨的心永不中箭
純如白紙

White Paper

Enduring indoctrination, I know to fear the lightning
Experiencing training, I learn to put on a smile
Returning to the year I was born
The cool night is like a dream; only my blanket comforts me
So pure, yet so shallow

Throwing away the past, there will always be lingering thoughts
Tears have flowed, but they cannot wash away the memories
Bearing the熏陶of the memories
I naturally realize that happiness comes with conditions
Who still lives in the past
Who has gradually been changed by this world

If life were a blank sheet of paper, my heart and mind would be clear; I would fill it as I wish
People cannot help but grow. Because of experience, laughter and tears become familiar.
I wish I only knew sweet dreams and did not have to see the world
No matter what lies ahead, in ten or more years,
I will still be as pure as the unsullied snow

Having experienced the world, I know how to read people's faces
Having endured trials, I want to hold on to my beliefs
I can now cry openly
Like in a cradle, there is no need to hide my emotions
Helplessly, I carry too many burdens
How can I escape the contagion of this world

If life were a blank sheet of paper, my heart and mind would be clear; I would fill it as I wish
People cannot help but grow. Because of experience, laughter and tears become familiar.
I wish I only knew sweet dreams and did not have to see the world
No matter what lies ahead, in ten or more years,
I will still be as pure as the unsullied snow

Can I go back and rewrite everything
There's no way of knowing what color it will be painted with

Whose life is a blank sheet of paper, heart and mind pure, filling it as they wish?
People cannot help but grow; because of experience, laughter and tears become familiar
I only wish I could sleep, forever innocent
I don't have to discover that the world is filled with dirt
A pure heart will never be pierced by arrows
As pure as white paper
