Текст и перевод песни 李克勤 - 孔明燈

孔明燈

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

Lanterns

I sleep in your arms, little me
Bathed in the soft moonlight glow
Learning to sell firewood, in the rain

In the blink of an eye I'm a student
Soaring high, afraid to learn
A young soul, clueless like a swallow

Lazy, lazy, till I'm thirty
The world is too cruel
Ten big dreams, nine without a clue
And then I realize my shortcomings

Lanterns ascend ten thousand feet high
Life's myriad worries are transformed into sentiment
Lanterns reach heights yet unseen
I'll write my wishes and ask the heavens to grant me time

Gazing at my ring, devoid of light
A future frozen in ice
The path is long, the rhythm erratic

These shoulders bear debts I cannot repay
No signposts in sight
Like a swallow, I migrate afar

Trudging through snow, no plum blossom in sight
Giving up is too easy
Back on the road, a lifetime passes quickly
Where can I find my dreams?

Lanterns ascend ten thousand feet high
Life's myriad worries are transformed into sentiment
Lanterns reach heights yet unseen
I'll write my wishes and ask the heavens to grant me time

The Milky Way pours out its beauty tonight
Why not believe we can find happiness again?
When life is no longer promising
I'll entrust my hopes to you, my love, and wait for that day
