Текст и перевод песни 許廷鏗 - The Times

The Times

到最近 至發現 這兩年 已太少相見
來電駁到手機留言 惶論要相約見面
細看著 這笑臉 再發現 年月的汚染
方知道難得可以表演百厭

回看昨日盡情地敷衍
多少席話仍在耳邊
錯在我未實踐 怕難重演
心知道過去已改變

曾經很掛念 遺憾當天總未相見
記得守過諾言 誰能料到時光中的變遷
殘酷到推翻發展
難得可見面 還幸可將心事講多遍
眼淚不怕亂濺 重修好昨天
臨別相擁之時 不需躲過視線

重看每部大時代影片
心酸幕幕猶在上演
再浪費如殘片 渺無人煙
一轉眼發覺已不見

曾經很掛念 遺憾當天總未相見
記得守過諾言 誰能料到時光中的變遷
殘酷到推翻發展
難得可見面 還幸可將心事講多遍
眼淚不怕亂濺 重修好昨天
臨別相擁之時 不需躲過視線

人生的試鍊 埋下多少起伏支線
記低苦澀或甜 才能悟到成長中的要點
無謂再依戀昨天
時光的背面 藏著天規寫下的轉變
眼淚不再亂濺 來得灑脫點
明日散席心情 好比參與盛宴

期待某月某年 於這餐桌遇見

The Times

Recently I discovered these past few years we've met too infrequently
Calls only get through to voicemail, let alone trying to arrange a meeting
Looking closer at your smiling face I notice time's tainted
Now I realize how rare it is to be so unashamedly playful

Thinking back to the days of careless indulgence
So many words still ring in my ears
It was wrong of me not to follow through, afraid I couldn't live up to it
I know too well that the past can't be changed

I used to miss you dearly, regretting that I never saw you
I remember the promises we made, who could have foreseen the changes time would bring
Cruel enough to overturn our progress
It's rare that we meet, but I'm grateful I can share my feelings more often
Tears don't scare me anymore, I can make amends for yesterday
When we embrace, I won't look away

Revisiting every epic film
Heartbreaking scenes still play out
Wasting them like lost footage, forgotten
Suddenly I realize they're gone

I used to miss you dearly, regretting that I never saw you
I remember the promises we made, who could have foreseen the changes time would bring
Cruel enough to overturn our progress
It's rare that we meet, but I'm grateful I can share my feelings more often
Tears don't scare me anymore, I can make amends for yesterday
When we embrace, I won't look away

Life's trials, sowing so many twists and turns
Recording the bitter and the sweet, only then can we understand the essence of growth
There's no point in clinging to yesterday
On the reverse side of time, celestial rules write of change
Tears no longer scare me, I'll embrace them with ease
Tomorrow's departure will feel like a grand banquet

I look forward to meeting you again at this table someday
