Текст и перевод песни 李克勤 - Kong Ming Deng

Kong Ming Deng

睡 睡在媽媽的手裡
靠那月光光湊大
學賣柴 落雨上大街

眨眼間 擺出學生哥姿態
沖天飛怕去學乖
飄零像燕 這小將聽著不解

賣懶賣懶 賣到三十
世界太殘酷
十個大志 九個沒眉目
察覺便已技窮

孔明燈升到萬呎高
浮生千百樣煩惱 難得轉化做情操
孔明燈高處未算高
提筆將素願回告 求天把歲月回報

望 望著無光的婚戒
結滿薄冰的以後
路漫長 步韻太搖擺

這兩肩 負著還不清的債
身邊不見有路牌
飄零像燕 只好往遠地遷徙

踏雪踏雪 未見臘梅
放棄太容易
又上路了 很快一輩子
哪裡尚有夢兒

孔明燈升到萬呎高
浮生千百樣煩惱 難得轉化做情操
孔明燈高處未算高
提筆將素願回告 求天把歲月回報

天河傾出這夜美好
遺失的快樂元素 何不相信能尋到
當人生不再被看好
誠心將冀望回告 合掌等那日來到

Kong Ming Deng

As I slept in my mother's arms,
I was raised by the moonlight,
Learning to sell firewood on rainy streets.

In the blink of an eye, I became a student,
Soaring high but fearing to learn well,
Drifting like a swallow, this young warrior does not understand.

I lazed about until I was thirty,
The world is too cruel,
Of ten great ambitions, nine have no direction,
And when I notice, I am already at my wit's end.

Kongming lanterns rise to a height of ten thousand feet,
Life's ten thousand worries are hard to turn into sentiment.
Kongming lanterns are not high enough,
I write down my wishes and ask heaven to repay my years.

Looking at the ring without light,
The future is full of ice,
The road is long and the pace is too unsteady.

These two shoulders bear an unpaid debt,
There are no signs along the way,
Drifting like a swallow, I can only migrate far away.

Treading through the snow, I see no plum blossoms,
Giving up is too easy,
On the road again, soon a lifetime will pass,
Where are the dreams?

Kongming lanterns rise to a height of ten thousand feet,
Life's ten thousand worries are hard to turn into sentiment.
Kongming lanterns are not high enough,
I write down my wishes and ask heaven to repay my years.

The Milky Way pours out its beauty tonight,
Why not believe that lost happiness can be found?
When life is no longer worth looking forward to,
Sincerely tell your hopes and clasp your hands, waiting for that day to come.
