情比紙薄 - love thinner than paper

情比紙薄

曲：王菀之
詞：林夕
編：Johnny Yim

你試過　肯捐款　肯賑災
You were once willing to donate to charity, to help out causes
若你這愛　尚存在
If your love still exists
為何大家後來　不肯再次貢獻恩愛
Why is it that at the end, we were unwilling to give out our love?

同時望著電視中的怒海
Watching the world in the TV together
最好的情人　竟然不瞅睬
Where lovers could ignore each other
懷疑現在若是我摔了下來
I wonder if I stumbled to the ground now
仍未得到慷慨
Would anyone help me?

＊人情就算薄到透　非有仇
Even when love is so thin it's transparent, it doesn't mean there's hate
情義何以卻捐給　你的好友
Why are feelings still given to your friends?
假若疏淡內疚　你我都不要內鬥
If the guilt were to fade, then we will no longer fight
唯願你念在從前　不分手＊
I only hope that because of the past, you won't let go of me

人情薄到被看透　便維修
When love becomes so thin it's transparent, it needs fixing
長期付出那麼多　哪只好友
Giving out so much for so long, and still only friends
火花縱非萬有
The sparks no longer exist
但半滴情誼　還有沒有
But a drop of friendship: do we still have it?

為何道義願付出給怒海
Why are we willing to lose morals and justice in this angry world
對於眼前人　不留多一載
But to those we know, we cant leave one bundle
和談或是道別要怎過未來
Talking of peace or saying goodbye, how do we pass the future?
無謂再去避開
Don't avoid it anymore

REPEAT＊

人情薄到被看透　便維修
When love becomes so thin it's transparent, it needs to be fixed
長期付出那麼多　哪只好友
Giving out so much for so long, and still just friends
請給個機會我　互相補救
Please give us a chance to right wrongs

REPEAT＊

一張紙縱望到透　沒恆久
When you can see right through a piece of paper, it won't be permanent anymore
情人莫非要分手　也因折舊
Do lovers seperate to break away from the past?
因早晚都共處　便厭倦回頭
Because we see each other night and day, we hate and become weary
純粹莫須有
And innocence is no longer needed.
