Paroles et traduction 謝安琪 - 臨崖勒馬

臨崖勒馬

誘人燈火似星 要讓眼睛入性
教這都市絢爛繁盛
但是半醉光景 背後潛藏能量魅影
嘀嗒聲已在鳴 倒數中紮醒

若未能及時臨崖勒馬
墮下來漫遊頹垣敗瓦
這一個家 這麼下去
就快被破壞淪落家不似家

若嫩芽突然全部腐化
渾濁濃霧瀰漫難淡化
太可怕 這代價
要讓新生去付出嗎

幼童手執野草 朗地裡唱歌起舞
悠然地成長多美好
讓盛世創新高 千方與百計能做到
不需堅固溶爐 不接受惡耗

若未能及時臨崖勒馬
墮下來漫遊頹垣敗瓦
這一個家 這麼下去
就快被破壞淪落家不似家

若嫩芽突然全部腐化
渾濁濃霧瀰漫難淡化
太可怕 這代價
要讓新生豁出嗎

哪會願意被逼得倉促搬家
趁有路徑現況未太差
望向別處 轉方位好嗎

若未能及時臨崖勒馬
墮下來漫遊頹垣敗瓦
這一個家 這麼下去
定會被破壞破壞家不似家

若嫩芽突然全部腐化
你我也霧化太可怕
還是再一起注水吧
去令枯土再開花

Pull the Reins Back at the Precipice

Tempting lights like starsIntend to ensnare the eyes
Instructing this urban centre to dazzle and flourish
But in the context of half-drunken momentsLurks the beguiling phantom of energy
Ticking sounds already ringing outAwakening us in the countdown

If we fail to pull back the reins at the precipice in time,
Falling into decadence and ruin
This one home of ours, if we keep going like this,
Will soon be destroyed, collapsing, no longer a home

If new buds suddenly all decay,
Murky fog spreading, hard to disperse
So terrifying this price
For the new generation to pay?

Young children clutching weedsSinging and dancing merrily in the fields
Growing up carefree, how beautiful
Striving to surpass prosperityBy all possible means, it can be done
No need for toughening furnacesNo acceptance of terrible news

If we fail to pull back the reins at the precipice in time,
Falling into decadence and ruin
This one home of ours, if we keep going like this,
Will soon be destroyed, collapsing, no longer a home

If new buds suddenly all decay,
Murky fog spreading, hard to disperse
So terrifying this price
For the new generation to risk?

Who would willingly be forced to relocate in haste?
While there's still leeway, before things get worse
Look elsewhere, change direction, is that okay?

If we fail to pull back the reins at the precipice in time,
Falling into decadence and ruin
This one home of ours, if we keep going like this,
Will definitely be destroyed, destroyed, no longer a home

If new buds suddenly all decay,
You and I will also vaporize, terrifying
Instead, let's keep watering together,
To make the barren soil bloom again
