定鏡　原來未算無緣
so it's not like we have no fate after all
一雙失散戀人　重逢在鬧市車站前
a pair of lost lovers, meeting again in front of a busy bus stop
好嗎　為何共對無言
"are you well?" why is it that there are no words to say?
我想暢快地談一遍
I want to have a chat and catch up
但你笑笑指指那邊
but you smile and point over there


那個是我　若最初揀了你
this is me, I picked you at first
他所得到的　是我那天所捨棄
what he has is what I lost that day
你這伴侶　明明並不襯你
your significant other obviously doesn't match you
他普通　他老實
he's ordinary, he's honest
但你知他愛你
but you know he loves you
(但永不拋棄你)
(but he won't ever leave you)


望你　如何羨煞旁人
watching you, how I envy that person next to you
都知這個好人　平凡但讓你很安穩
I know he's a good person, nothing special but he will protect you
當我　人潮內再浮沉
and me, I'll once again sink into the crowd
我知你正共誰擁吻
I know who you kiss now
被哪一位雙手抱緊
and which pair of arms hold you


那個會是我　從前若未放棄
this would be me, if I didn't give up back then
他打的領呔　像有你悉心整理
the tie he wears looks like it has been fixed by you
再次遇上　還憑甚麼騷擾你
next time we meet, what excuse do I have to bother you?
可否講　失散後　又有多想見你
can I say: after losing touch, i've wanted to see you so much
剛開口　他卻在　在那一邊叫你
as I open my mouth, there he is calling you

納悶在　路易十六座　的沙發上
sitting on louis 16th's sofa* and wondering
望外面　夜幕漸落下　花都發亮
watching the night fog descend outside, even the flowers glow
夜景都是一樣　到處這種色相
the nightviews are all the same, everywhere is the same scenery
難免掛念對牢旺角大窗
it's hard not to miss the opposite window in mong kok*


靜靜地　望著電視上　香港氣象
quietly watching hk's weather report on the tv
慢慢地　撥著電話　十個以上
slowly making phone calls, over ten of them
出門的孩子　沿路有什麼受傷
children away from home, how can they hurt themselves along the way?
只得酒店大床　沒法能縫合創傷
there is only a bed in the hotel, no way to heal this wound


就算在　這夜
even if tonght
樂園問　你以後　會留下嗎
paradise asks "will you stay?"
有計劃　要長住嗎
"do you have any plans for staying longer?"
但是我　始終一句　喜歡我家
for me, I can only say "I love my home"
後園　雖然　還未開花
in the backyard, the flowers have not bloomed
共愛侶　還是吵架
with my lover, there are arguements
再不好　但是到底　也是我家
even if it's worse, in the end, it is still my home


在途上　會發現　有何念掛
on the road, I discover what I miss
哪片地　教人念掛
which piece of land can teach a person to be homesick
落力去　東征西戰　只因顧家
fighting hard in battle, if only to protect my home

舊的床褥與花灑　就算極廉價
my old bed and shower, even if it's not worth a lot
比希爾頓還能平復我
calms me better than hilton* can
准許我歸去吧　不惜以　一切代價
let me return, no matter the cost


熟睡在　又大又寂寞　的酒店內
sleeping in the large but lonely hotel
做夢亦　念及熱湯　沒喝太耐
dreaming about the hot soup that I haven't finished
這陌生房間　無論再望山面海
in this strange room, no matter what the view
始終不過是華麗過場　完事拆開
is only a beautiful interlude, once finished it will be gone


樂園問　我以後　會留下嗎
paradise asks "will you stay?"
有計劃　要長住嗎
"do you have any plans for staying longer?"
但是我　始終一句　喜歡我家
for me, I can only say "I love my home"
後園　雖然　還未開花
in the backyard, the flowers have not bloomed
共愛侶　還是吵架
with my lover, there are arguements
有點擠　但是至少　也是個家
even if it's worse, in the end, it is still my home


在途上　會發現　有何念掛
on the road, I discover what I miss
哪片地　教人念掛
which piece of land can teach a person to be homesick
落力去　東征西戰　只因顧家
fighting hard in battle, if only to protect my home


或者從未夠瀟灑　為掛念而掛
or maybe it's just not grand enough, and I've homesick just for the sake of it
請准我直言　完成大假
please let me speak frankly, let me finish my paid leave
請准我歸去吧　不惜以　一切代價
please let me return, no matter the cost

情非首爾 - Love Story in Seoul

情非首爾 - Love Story in Seoul

曲:伍仲衡 詞:克勤 編:Ronald Fu
Song: Ng Chung Hang
Lyrics: Hacken
Arranger: Ronald Fu
Album: 演奏廳I Concert Hall I

漢城夜晚　南山塔中　跟妳再相遇
Night in Seoul, meeting you again, in the middle of the Seoul Tower
想講妳知　生活不寫意
Wanting to tell you, that life is no longer enjoyable
漢城在變　人也在變　分手太輕易
Seoul is changing, people are changing, parting is too easy
問我到底知不知　如今改稱首爾
And i ask if you know, that Seoul's name has changed (see endnote)

* 借意問明天的妳空閒嗎
Take the chance to ask if you are free tomorrow
重遊明洞新村可以嗎
To revisit Myung Dong and Sin Chon
過去像盲婚啞嫁　現在是熱情淡化
The past was like an arranged marriage: now the passion has quelled
還害怕當天回憶會被刮花 *
And i fear that the memories of that day will be scratched

# 重遇妳　難重新相愛
Meeting you again, it's difficult to start anew our love
是否已經風光不再
Is our love already over?
歷史多麼精彩　高潮起跌
History is so colourful, with empires rising and falling
但已沒法被篡改
But there is already no way to change it

難道妳　誰人都不愛
Could it be that you don't want to fall in love
沒有自信建立未來
Or dont have the confidence to build your future?
讓漢江將妳我　像南北般分開 #
And defeated, just let the Han River seperate us like north and south

Repeat * #

******************
Endnote: The main idea behind the lyrics to this song is the change of name that Seoul (the Korean capital) was given. Originally, Seoul was known as "Han Sing" (or city on the Han river) in Chinese. In January 2005 (close to when this song was released) the Chinese name for Seoul was changed to "Sau Yi", a more phonetical translation. The change of name is one of the many changes this song is about.

公主太子 - Princess & the Prince

公主太子 - Princess & the Prince
曲:伍仲衡 詞:陳少琪 編:伍仲衡
Song: Harry Ng Chung Hang
Lyrics: Keith Chan Siu Kei
Arranger: Harry Ng Chung Hang
Album: 李克勤演奏廳II Concert Hall II/Seoul Concert Hall

想起通宵巴士的淡淡往事
Remember us talking about the past on the all-night bus
當天的你公主般愛著太子
That day you, the princess, loved the prince
創造童話主角
Creating a fairytale
用沿路街角名字　寫滿白紙
Using the road names to create characters, written all over a white page

球鞋的天堂曾共渡太多傳奇
The soccer field has previously seen too many legends
行人專區同遊媲美動人花都香氣
The pedestrian precinct paired with the beauty
A moving scene, with even flowers giving their scent
寒夜跟你　看萬條小金魚熱舞場地
Following you in the cold night, to see ten thousand goldfish dancing in their pond..

* 沿途共抱擁　看幸福彩虹
Embracing on the journey, watching the rainbow of good fortune,
殘酷世界裡也是場美夢
The cruel reality of the world is just a dream
漫遊緊握的手不放鬆
Travelling along, tightly clutched hands did not let go
迴腸蕩氣　刻骨銘心中
Memories that stir the soul, forever etched in our hearts

期望將閃閃鑽石的山頭
Wanted to take the jewel-scattered hill
回贈我愛侶　美麗如天后
To give to my love, as beautiful as queen of the sky
在停車一刻都不要走　長留獨有
Unwilling to leave as the bus stopped, because staying longer,
車廂裡一個宇宙 *
would mean staying in the universe of the bus trip.

一天公主深感生活沒意義
One day the princess felt that life had little meaning,
勾勾手指比不起鑽石戒指
Pinky-promises couldn't substitute diamond rings
最後你講一次
At the end you said
若人望高處時候　總要自私
If someone wants to move forward, they must be selfish

平民的天堂如地獄裡的日期
To spend days in a normal man's heaven, i'd rather be in the hell (of the fairytale)
無人的足球場觀眾席如幽谷詭秘
Spectators in the empty soccerfield were silent and hidden
呆坐等你　眼淚連湧出都沒有權利
Sitting stone-like waiting for you
Without even the right to let tears fall from my eyes

Repeat *

沿途共抱擁　看幸福彩虹
Embracing along the journey, watching the rainbow of fortune
殘酷世界裡也是場美夢
The cruel reality of the world is just a dream
為何緊握的手一放鬆
Why is it as our clasped hands let go
原來劇痛　刻骨銘心中
We find that pain is what etches itself in our hearts?

期望將閃閃鑽石的山頭
Wanted to take the jewel-scattered hill
回贈我愛侶　美麗如天后
To give to my love, as beautiful as queen of the sky
在停車一刻始終要走　原來沒有
As the bus stopped, leaving became inevitable
And in the end..
車廂那一個宇宙
The universe in the bus did not exist.

*******
Endnote: This song is also packed full of references to HK. The title of the song Princess Prince actually refers to two big roads in HK: Princess Road and Prince Road. Some other references include:

鑽石的山頭 (translated as jewel-scattered hill), but actually referring to Diamond Hill, another place in HK
天后 (tin hau, empress of the heaven) who is actually the goddess who protects HK
通宵巴士 (all night bus), something many people associate with HK, which has various bus lines that operate 24 hours
金魚場 (goldfish pond literally), could be referring to the Fishing Supermarket where live fish are ready to be caught by customers
球鞋的天堂曾共渡太多傳奇/無人的足球場觀眾席如幽谷詭秘 The various references to soccer fields could be referring to Hong Kong Stadium, which is due to soon be demolished after a new multi-purpose stadium is built
