就散席了 人客急将美酒喝掉
The party's over, guests hurriedly down their fine wine,
赶于舞曲奏尽前离坐
Rushing to leave before the dancing tunes conclude,
是我夜了吧 最后这分钟到场
Is it already night for me? Just as I arrive in this last minute,
待热情尽过 方看到场内灿烂灯火
Once the passion fades away, only then can I see the dazzling lights in the hall.
好想唱一阙歌 叫你认清楚我
I really want to sing a song, make you truly see me,
我也曾到来庆贺
I too have come to celebrate,
好想唱一阙歌 见证日子怎过
I really want to sing a song, to witness how the days go by,
哪个时势能没有歌
Which era can exist without a song?
若问你会如何 你会骂我别傻
If you ask how I feel, you'll tell me not to be foolish,
剩下光境不多
There’s not much light left to shine.
但是你会如何 我也没有耐何
But what can you do? I have no way either.
盼你亦赏面安坐
Hoping you too can sit here and enjoy.
替我用掌声和唱著这歌
Clap for me and sing this song.
就散席了 人客心知个中奥妙
The guests leave, but they know the secrets within.
将讲到一半话题完掉
The conversation is left unfinished.
若注定这样 故事尾声方进场
If it's destined this way, the end of the story will come.
别人话迟极了 愿时代仍为我留了坐
Others say it's too late, but I hope this era still saves a seat for me.
只想唱一阙歌 叫你认清楚我
I just want to sing a song, for you to recognize me clearly.
我也曾到来庆贺
I too once came to celebrate.
只想唱一阙歌 一首凄美的赞歌
I just want to sing a song, a beautiful and sorrowful ode.
派对完结前为你写的歌
A song I wrote for you before the party ends
若问你会如何 你会骂我别傻
If you ask how you'd feel, you'd tell me not to be foolish
剩下光境不多
There isn't much light left
但是你会如何 我也没有耐何
But if you ask how you'd act, I have no way to change it
盼你耐心的安坐 怕以后掌声没够是晚多
I hope you sit patiently, afraid there won’t be enough applause later
若问那里不妥 你会骂我别傻
If you ask what's wrong, you'd tell me not to be foolish
剩下光境不多 别寄望太多
There isn't much light left, don't expect too much
日后我会如何 我也没有耐何
What I'll do in the future, I have no way to change it
却怕在今晚之后 不知有谁来迫我
But I fear that after tonight, I won’t know who will push me
转唱另一些歌
I'll sing some different songs
