致少年時代 - 古巨基 перевод на английский

致少年時代

愛少年時代 放肆而無害
最愛著拖鞋跑屋邨似障礙賽
然後最怕背書裡未懂裝懂的感慨
未料到將來 那強說的愁 已情懷不再

羨慕你想哭與笑時哭與笑永未顧忌
煩人煩事不愛理便不去理 自閉天地
冥頑無知 卻更會自由做你自己
只要想逃避 被窩總可以抱緊你

愛偶像年代 會瘋狂期待
最愛看頒奬禮歌星要角逐比賽
還道最痛像高處蕩韆鞦摔傷膝蓋
痛那麼單純 愛那麼輕易 幼稚而可愛

羨慕你想哭與笑時哭與笑永未顧忌
煩人煩事不愛理便不去理 自閉天地
冥頑無知 卻更會自由做你自己
只要想逃避 被窩總可以抱緊你

從前全為怕考試渴望能大個
今日我 偏擔起更深功課
嫌從前未算闖夠禍亦無悔當初
成熟催促愛玩的你 已懂得太多

妒忌你能想發洩時敢發洩拒絕皺眉
明明還未懂世故幻想世態無數滋味
明明無知 世界卻又原諒你自欺
轉眼天和地 便一板一眼約束你

假設可重遇 讓今天的我輕撫你

Ode to the Years of Youth

I love the years of my youth, where I was reckless and harmless
I loved to run around the housing estate in slippers like it was an obstacle course
But I hated the books where I had to pretend to understand the profound
I never thought that in the future, the heartache I would choose to voice would no longer be a feeling

I envy that you can cry and laugh whenever you want without hesitation
You don't have to deal with annoying things or people, you can just shut yourself off from the world
You're stubborn and ignorant, but you're free to be yourself
When you want to escape, you can always hide in your blanket

I love the years of my youth, where my idol was everything
I loved watching award shows and seeing singers compete
I thought the worst pain was falling off a swing and scraping my knee
Pain was so simple, love was so easy, naive and cute

I envy that you can cry and laugh whenever you want without hesitation
You don't have to deal with annoying things or people, you can just shut yourself off from the world
You're stubborn and ignorant, but you're free to be yourself
When you want to escape, you can always hide in your blanket

Before, I was afraid of exams and longed to grow up
Today, I'm stuck with even more work to do
I regret not causing enough trouble, but I don't regret my past
Maturity has forced you to grow up, and now you know too much

I'm jealous that you can vent your frustrations without holding back
You don't understand the world yet, but you imagine all sorts of flavors of life
You're blissfully ignorant, and the world forgives your self-deception
In the blink of an eye, the world will tie you down with rules

If we could meet again, I would gently caress you, my dear
