Текст и перевод песни 許志安 - 前程錦繡

前程錦繡

那年一起靜坐抗議
那年一起玩物喪志
那年一起暗戀 然後失戀了默默扶持
那年班長競選 才學會政治
當走進大社會 奉獻少罵戰多
相識接着拆伙 朋友仔沒有幾個 幾個
敵人很多 少一個不算少 多一個都太多
當初唱字母歌 學會的未算多
終於領悟更多 人跌倒又上一課 一課
校門即使逐一給光陰上鎖
都緊記當初
某人新婚席上再見
笑容顯得特別靦腆
那年一起 嗌交無奈今天已靜默無言
我們交出那款循例性笑臉
當走進大社會 是與非右與左
當中價值太多 朋友仔沒有幾個 幾個
聚頭不多 推搪有工作多 多親切都變疏
不想唱勵志歌 勵志歌 勵志麼
彼此背負太多 隨每天習慣經過 經過
為誰奔波 獲得比當初再多 比不上當初
當走進大社會 奉獻少罵戰多
相識接着拆伙 朋友仔沒有幾個 幾個
敵人很多 少一個不算少 多一個都太多
當初唱字母歌 學會的未算多
終於領悟更多 人跌倒又上一課 一課
夕陽之歌 剩低這一首輓歌
想起我當初

Promising Future

That year, we sat together in silent protest,
That year, we indulged in mischief and played the fool,
That year, we nursed secret crushes and mended hearts after heartbreak,
That year, we campaigned for class president and learned about politics,
As we entered adulthood, our contributions dwindled, and arguments increased,
We met and then parted ways; true friends became scarce,
Enemies abounded; losing one was not a significant loss, but gaining one was excessive,
Back then, we sang the alphabet song, but our knowledge was limited,
Now, we understand more; with every fall, we learn a lesson,
Though the school gates have long been locked by time,
Let us remember our beginnings,
At someone's wedding, we met again,
Our smiles were timid and reserved,
That year, we quarreled relentlessly, but now we are silent,
We exchange obligatory smiles,
As we entered adulthood, right and wrong, left and right,
Amidst the multitude of values, true friends became scarce,
Gatherings are rare; excuses of being busy abound,
I have no desire to sing an inspirational song, an inspirational song,
We carry too many burdens; each day, we endure and persevere,
For whom do we strive? We have achieved more than before, yet it falls short,
As we entered adulthood, our contributions dwindled, and arguments increased,
We met and then parted ways; true friends became scarce,
Enemies abounded; losing one was not a significant loss, but gaining one was excessive,
Back then, we sang the alphabet song, but our knowledge was limited,
Now, we understand more; with every fall, we learn a lesson,
The song of the setting sun, a lament that remains,
Reminding me of my former self,
