Paroles et traduction 陳柏宇 - 一支箭

一支箭

起勢話你 到底邊個肉痛
話時話 全部有我份
逐個狀況 我都講到喉乾
點知最終 係我懵懂

端午就到 我想拉你做節
願能共你 扮裹蒸粽
但你話暑假 在市區可以幾凍
而下個學季 就我可放鬆

今晚你決定我讓你送給別人
留學要備妥學費 交俾名校授明訓
問你父親 他貴庚
為你憂八萬 零五日
下班機要是滯留十世 都等

未聽過 杜甫嗎 我都不太熟喎
論文學 淨得吹水
但你背詩句 句句英文也清脆
其實我係怕在以後 冇得搭嘴

他朝你決定我讓你送給別人
沿路我又笑又喊 交俾神父唸神訓
共舞那位 他貴庚
大你一百萬 零五日
係安心定震

問你廣東話幾句 好嗎
別要只識What′s up 我
定去whatsapp我 睇都老花
光陰似箭 一支箭 就細路 行兩步
便走出懷抱

轉眼又轉眼
轉眼又暑假
轉眼又轉眼
轉眼便出嫁
轉眼又轉眼
轉眼又轉眼

An Arrow

I start to say, in the end who's going to be the one in pain
When it comes down to it, I was part of it all
I talked about every situation until my throat was dry
But in the end, I'm the one who's confused

It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and I want to celebrate with you
I hope to wrap sticky rice dumplings with you
But you say it's summer vacation and it will be freezing in the city
And next semester will be when I can finally relax

Tonight you tell me you want me to let you go to someone else
I have to prepare for my overseas study and pay for a famous school's tuition
I ask you how old your father is
I worry about you for 80,000 and five days
If the returning flight is delayed for ten lifetimes, I'll wait

Haven't you heard of Du Fu? I'm not very familiar with him either
Literary research is just a lot of hot air
But when you recite poetry, every English phrase is so clear
The truth is, I'm afraid that in the future, I won't be able to keep up with you

One day you tell me you want me to let you go to someone else
On the way, I laugh and cry while a priest reads prayers to you
Who are you dancing with? How old is he?
He's a million and five days older than you
Are you relieved or shocked?

I ask you a few phrases in Cantonese, are they okay?
Don't only know how to "What's up" me
Or only WhatsApp me, I'm too old for that
Time flies like an arrow, like an arrow, a child takes two steps
And then leaves our embrace

Before you know it, once more,
Before you know it, it's summer vacation,
Before you know it, once more,
Before you know it, you're getting married,
Before you know it, once more,
Before you know it, once more.
