恋爱日记
Love Diary
独白：
Monologue:
每一个恋爱既故事 开始既时候都梗系
Every love story, when it begins, is surely
开开心心轻轻松松 但系随住时间既消逝
Light-hearted and carefree, but as time slips away,
呢一种感觉亦都会渐渐咁褪色
This feeling will gradually fade, too.
每一个人都只希望尽快可以脱离
Everyone just hopes to soon break free
呢个现实同埋束缚 将自己藏于黑夜
From this reality and its shackles, hiding in the dark,
重新打扮 等待黎明再次来临
Reinventing myself, waiting for dawn to arrive once more.
＊当初轻轻松松开始 爱上你我再有意义
＊Once it started off so easily, loving you became meaningful again.
你说听见心中想说美丽话儿
You said you heard the beautiful words that my heart wants to say.
今天郁郁不欢终止 这片爱意永远记住
Today the gloom comes to an end, this love will forever remain.
看各有各身心伤透不启齿＊
Each of us carries our wounds, too deep to speak of.*
当离开左过去既一段情 梗系有所怀念
When leaving behind a past love, of course, there's a sense of longing.
我地会不厌其烦咁 将一切美丽既回忆重拾
We tirelessly collect all the beautiful memories once more.
其实唔系时间唔能够冲淡往事
It's not that time can't wash away the past,
而系我地自己根本唔愿意忘记
But rather we simply refuse to forget.
或者用回忆去治疗心灵上既创伤
Perhaps we use memories to heal our wounded hearts.
其实我地系咪一直咁欺骗紧自己
Are we deceiving ourselves all along,
将自己真正既感觉埋藏系心底呢﹖
Hiding our true feelings deep within?
