Текст и перевод песни Eason Chan - 1874

1874

仍然沒有 遇到 那位跟我絕配的戀人
你根本也未有出現 還是已然逝去
懷疑在某一個國度裡的某一年
還未帶我到世上那天
存在過 一位等我愛的某人
夜夜為我失眠
從來未相識 已不在
這個人極其實在 卻像個虛構角色
莫非今生 原定陪我來
卻去了 錯誤時代
情人若寂寥地 出生在1874
剛剛早一百年 一個世紀
是否終身都這樣 頑強地等
雨季會 降臨赤地
為何未及時地 出生在1874
邂逅你 看守你 一起老死
互不相識 身處在 同年代中
仍可 同生 共死
從來未相識 已不在
這個人極其實在 卻像個虛構角色
莫非今生 原定陪我來
卻去了 錯誤時代
情人若寂寥地 出生在1874
剛剛早一百年 一個世紀
是否終身都這樣 頑強地等
雨季會 降臨赤地
為何未及時地 出生在1874
邂逅你 看守你 一起老死
若果不可 相約在 和平地方
也與你 暢遊戰地
為何未 及時地 出生在1874
挽著你的手臂 徹夜逃避
漫天烽火 失散在 同年代中
仍可 同生 共死

1874

I still haven't met the lover who is perfect for me
You never appeared, or have you already passed away?
I wonder if in some country in a certain year
Before I was born into this world
There lived someone who was waiting to love me
Someone who lost sleep over me every night
Someone I never knew, who is no longer here
This person is so real, yet like a fictional character
Could it be that in this life, you were meant to be with me
But ended up in the wrong era?
What if my lonely lover was born in 1874?
Exactly a hundred years earlier, a century ago
Would I have waited patiently for you my entire life?
The rainy season would come to the barren land
Why wasn't I born in 1874?
To meet you, to protect you, to grow old with you
We don't know each other, but we're living in the same era
We could still live and die together
Someone I never knew, who is no longer here
This person is so real, yet like a fictional character
Could it be that in this life, you were meant to be with me
But ended up in the wrong era?
What if my lonely lover was born in 1874?
Exactly a hundred years earlier, a century ago
Would I have waited patiently for you my entire life?
The rainy season would come to the barren land
Why wasn't I born in 1874?
To meet you, to protect you, to grow old with you
If we can't meet in a peaceful place
I'll follow you to the battlefield
Why wasn't I born in 1874?
To hold your hand and run through the night
Amidst the raging flames of war, we'd be lost but together
We could still live and die together
