無限次為你做接送司機駐守
there's no limit to the times I will be your chauffeur
然後我獨個在汽車裡聽侯
I'll sit in the car alone to await orders
你化妝優悠 唯有接受
you do your makeup slowly, I can only accept it
要苦等都肯遷就
and tiringly keep on waiting


陪伴你狂買鞋與手袋很襯色
I go with you to crazily shop for matching shoes and handbags
還樂意付賬來顯出我價值
I'll happily show you my usefulness by paying for it all
搬貨很出力 從無缺席
carrying the shopping, I have no complaints
疲累但都很積極
I'm exhausted but still optimistic


你說笑讓我大笑扮幼稚
you tell a joke, making me laugh loudly and pretend I'm naive
帶你的愛犬逛街也可以
I can take your beloved dog out to walk
難道愛護你是我犯了罪
is it wrong to love you?
照顧你不能睡 很勞累 望穿秋水
taking care of you means no sleep, its very tiring, this eternal vigil


做跟得伴侶委屈我已經受夠
I had enough of greivances while being your lover
笑著迎合賞面也不能皺
I have to keep this smiling face on, I cannot frown
一點對你不好也覺得內疚
not treating you well even slightly makes me feel guilty
即使多忍讓也願接受
so I endure it all and willingly accept


做跟得伴侶委屈我已經受夠
I had enough of greivances while being your lover
卻又情願甘心做你的男友
but I'll willingly be your boyfriend
無奈要遷就你也都緊握你手
no matter how I need to accomodate you, I'll still hold onto your hand tight
緊得好像鎖匙扣
so tight it's like a keyring


曾自薦做壯士替你搬幾次屋
in the past I've pretended to be strong and helped you move house several times
還願意陪坐來粉飾你雀局
and I've willingly kept you company in your makeup room or at your mahjong table
拋低這忠僕 仍有節目
you ditch this loyal servant, having other thigns to do
我只好啞忍孤獨
I can only suffer this loneliness in silence


無論你肥瘦或間歇的黑眼圈
no matter if your fat or skinny or have dark circles around your eyes
還盛讚狀態大勇都無間斷
I'll still pretend to be courageous and never leave
跟你的周旋 未覺厭倦
accompanying you to socialise, I've never felt tired
肥皂劇一般的片段
just like a scene out of a soap opera


endnote: 廿四孝 describes someone who is completely devoted to another, showing that they are willing to do anything 24 hours a day. it does not have to refer to a romantic relationship. it is used a lot to describe a parent-child relationship.

日落從沒有褪色　公園夕陽瀉地
The sunset has never faded; the park is washed in the dusk-light
年輕相約玩耍總有你
When we were young, you always came to our playdates..
瀾漫時日已結束　朋友為名利變
Now that childhood has ended, friends betray you for gains
漸行漸遠　太多公事聚太少
Gradually growing apart, time is spent working without friendship gatherings

＊誰過去親如弟兄　只怕現已不留痕跡
Who once was a close friend, now leaves no impression
凶險的世界中爭勝　老朋友變得薄情
In the dangerous battle-filled world, old friends become aloof
無法再親如弟兄　欺騙過我的曾經真誠
We cannot be friends again, those who betrayed me were once sincere..
落泊裡一起酒醉互相打氣　步向光榮
When we anchored before we would drink in unison, walking towards honor..
偏偏不再盡興＊
And yet we cannot anymore.

大廈平地裡建起　港灣換成赤地
Skyscrapers rise from flat ground, land is reclaimed from the sea#
時光都會逐漸改變你
Like this, time gradually changes you
望大時代正變遷　朋友亦掏盡了
I hope this era is changing, the last of friends have been called on
舊時熱血　更多功利話更少
In the past I was enthusiastic , achieving more with less words
Repeat *

沒有虧欠　就算你已早疏遠
There is no loss, even if you grew distant a long time ago
途中的歡笑你贈我多少
The laughter you gave me on our journey is innumerable...

人各有不同利益　一句義氣險如薄冰
People all have different wants, the phrase 'righteousness' is like thin ice
今天相見要很高興　怕何時變得絕情
When we meet today we must be happy, when we meet again, we may be heartless
朋友似不曾認識　欺騙過我的曾經真誠
Friends are like strangers, those who betrayed me were once sincere
落泊裡一起酒醉互相打氣　步向光榮
When we anchored before we would drink in unison, walking towards honor..
只好一個盡興
All that's left is to enjoy it once more
