愛在通脹蔓延時 - 洪卓立 перевод на английский

愛在通脹蔓延時

從前共進餐不細想
點這些點那樣
送禮或買花不太傷
但今天 物價漲得沒法想像
幾百元尋樂像隔靴搔癢
說要盡慶真妄想
考慮安坐街上
杯麵溝凍鴦
氣氛用街燈補償
和伴侶眺望綺麗櫥窗
觀天象 曬月亮
從前入戲院不細想
睇歌星睇偶像
同遊旺角唱K買相
無誇張 到這天沒法一樣
想吃和喝遊玩去歡渡晚上
要夠預算先去想
考慮安坐街上
杯麵溝凍鴦
氣氛用街燈補償
和伴侶眺望綺麗櫥窗
今日花錢景象
簡直彷似搶
生活價格飛揚
疲弱購買力遭受重傷
考慮安坐街上
吃杯麵飲凍鴦
聽街道音韻繞樑
和伴侶眺望綺麗櫥窗
都會璀璨安祥
陪伴有情人走夢鄉

Love in a Time of Inflation

In the past, we didn't think twice about dining together,
Ordering whatever we fancied
Sending gifts or buying flowers didn't hurt the wallet too much.
But today, prices have skyrocketed beyond our wildest dreams.
Spending a few hundred dollars on entertainment is like scratching an itch through a boot.
Celebrating is a distant dream.
Perhaps we should just sit on the streets
With cup noodles and iced coffee.
We'll make up for the atmosphere with the streetlights.
We'll gaze at the beautiful shop windows
And watch the stars and the moon.
In the past, we went to the movies without a second thought,
Watched singers and idols,
Sang karaoke in Mong Kok and bought souvenirs
I'm not exaggerating when I say that everything is different now.
If we want to go out to eat, drink, and have some fun
We need to budget carefully.
Perhaps we should just sit on the streets
With cup noodles and iced coffee.
We'll make up for the atmosphere with the streetlights.
We'll gaze at the beautiful shop windows
Today, spending money is like
A battle.
The cost of living is soaring,
And our purchasing power is taking a beating.
Perhaps we should just sit on the streets
With cup noodles and iced coffee.
The music of the streets will be our entertainment
And we'll still gaze at the beautiful shop windows
The city glows
As we dream together.
