阿门
Amen
曲/编: 伍乐城 词: 林夕
Composition/Arrangement: Wu Lecheng Lyrics: Lin Xi
谢: 我不觉得 热恋中的你存心去玩
Thank you: I don’t think you’re intentionally playing games in this love
大家都针对你 一起感叹 情侣是我拣
Everyone's targeting you, sighing together, 'That couple is mine'
我只觉得 大家得不到才对你红著眼
I only feel that others' jealousy stems from not having you
甚么很滥 甚么不滥 真爱是拆不散
What’s been overdone, what’s not, true love can’t be torn apart
谢: 入夜后让你我 说声阿门
Thank you: After night falls, let us say Amen
记得我们 落力结伴
Remember our determined companionship
随时随地一双成对
Together whenever, anywhere, as one pair
有心人更不满
Those with good intentions are even more dissatisfied
合: 即使我们错 不比他们多
Even if we are wrong, we aren't more so than them.
太爱你也许会难过
Loving you too much may lead to sorrow.
回头恨你 又是否好结果
Turning back to hate you, is that a good ending?
不想我难过 除非肯答应我
I don't want to be sad, unless you agree to my wish.
明年今夜至少跟我 自助餐上同坐
At least next year tonight, sit with me at the buffet.
唱活一首情歌 求大家给你认错
Sing a love song, asking everyone to acknowledge your mistakes.
合: 爱你爱到往日朋友不敢分享
Loving you deeply, friends hesitate to share the past.
当然不敢想像你会感激鼓掌
Of course, I can’t imagine you would be grateful and applaud.
如若偏袒得到回报
If favoritism brings rewards,
但愿我值得拿勋章
I hope I'm worthy of earning a medal.
容: 我不觉得 用心相拥会全身糜烂
I don't feel that embracing with all my heart will leave us in ruins.
大家都审判你 天不开眼 游戏任你玩
Everyone judges you, the heavens are blind, the game is yours to play.
我只觉得 幸福不需要全世界来盛赞
I only feel that happiness doesn't need the whole world to praise it.
合: 漫天子弹 蒙起双眼 都会为你分担
With bullets flying all around, even if I close my eyes, I'll share the burden for you.
谢: 入夜后让你我 说声阿门
After night falls, let us whisper 'Amen'.
记得我们 落力结伴
Remember us, working hard together.
随时随地一双成对
Anytime, anywhere, we'll be a matching pair.
我依然会自满
I still take pride in myself.
合: 即使我们错 不比他们多
Even if we're wrong, it doesn't compare to them.
太爱你也许会难过
Loving you too much might bring me sorrow.
回头恨你 又是否好结果
Looking back, do I hate you? Is it a good outcome?
不想我难过 除非肯答应我
I don't want to be sad, unless you agree to my wish.
明年今夜至少跟我 自助餐上同坐
At least next year on this night, sit with me at the buffet.
唱活一首情歌 求大家给你认错
Sing a love song alive, asking everyone to admit your mistake.
