Текст и перевод песни Hacken Lee feat. Joey Tang - 活著為求甚麼

活著為求甚麼

他的結他於閣樓上腐爛
傳來的低泣多麼淒慘
他的唱片疊成頹垣敗瓦
迷過的歌星一去不返

路過一街工廠
聽到有樂團玩歌玩得爛
想起以前作的歌 仍覺超班
昂然步入地鐵站

活著為求甚麼
解決到三餐明日又捱過
等派籌覆診從未復元過
如何跪地上香 得不到幫助

現在面臨甚麼
板間房的淒怨逐漸傳播
股票行的炒價極度兇惡
容顏暴露摺痕 他怎麼囉唆
亦敵不過 不攻自破

他的老死不與他共患難
移居北方威風不減
他的債主就如蝗蟲白蟻
奪去他一生所有資產

來到一間冰室
好幾個學童舉手想添飯
想起已逝去青春 人更孤單
垂頭步入垃圾站

活著為求甚麼
解決到三餐明日又捱過
等派籌覆診從未復元過
如何跪地上香 得不到幫助

現在面臨甚麼
板間房的淒怨逐漸傳播
股票行的炒價極度兇惡
容顏暴露摺痕 他鬆不了綁
活著剩餘甚麼

心死了 有人心死了
控告社會 發難 破壞 踐踏
恨意滿腔繼續對立

我活著為求甚麼
這個驚慌都市步步難過
經過幾許風雨步步行錯
懷疑活在昨天更多好地方

現在面臨甚麼
幾個悲哀章節日日重播
天降天災萬民地上縱火
年年月月倒數 一早不記得
活著為求甚麼

What I'm Alive For

His guitar rots in the attic
Echoing laments fill the air
His records, a crumbling ruin
Former idols vanished without a trace

Passing a factory
I hear a band butchering a song
I recall my own melodies, still masters
Striding confidently into the subway station

What am I alive for?
Keeping hunger at bay, day after day
Waiting for check-ups and endless recoveries
Kneeling in prayer, yet forsaken

What am I facing?
Sobs from a cubicle echo through the office
Stock market sharks are merciless
Wrinkles reveal the passage of time
No escape, inevitable collapse

His elderly parents abandon him
Migrating to the north in dignified exile
His creditors, a swarm of locusts
Stripping him of his life's savings

Entering a cafe
Schoolchildren raise their hands for extra rice
Remembering my lost youth, I feel the sting
Head down, I walk to the garbage can

What am I alive for?
Keeping hunger at bay, day after day
Waiting for check-ups and endless recoveries
Kneeling in prayer, yet forsaken

What am I facing?
Sobs from a cubicle echo through the office
Stock market sharks are merciless
Wrinkles reveal the passage of time, an inescapable fate
What remains of this life?

The heart is dead, my heart is dead
Accusing society, rebelling, destroying
Hatred fuels endless conflict

What am I alive for?
This chaotic city brings despair
Through storms and missteps, I've lost my way
Perhaps a simpler past would've been better

What am I facing?
Tragedy repeats itself
Natural disasters, human-made fires
The years pass by, forgotten
What am I alive for?
