Cantonese to English Lyrics Translate

作曲：Eric Kwok/陳奕迅
填詞：黃偉文 編曲：Eric Kwok/Jerald


流水像清得沒帶半顆沙
River runs not carrying a grain of sand

前身被擱在上游風化
his previous life was decaded in the upstream

但那天經過那條堤壩
one day when he passed by the dam

斜陽又返照閃一下　遇上一朵落花
where the dusk sparkles, he came across a fallen flower


相遇就此擁著最愛歸家
Once upon a time and happily ever after

生活別過份地童話化
don't imagine life too much of a fairy tale

故事假使短過這五月落霞　沒有需要驚詫
even the story lasts shorter than the sunset in May, there's no need to be shocked

陳奕迅 - 今日
Eason Chan - Today

作詞 Lyricist：林振強 Raymond Lam
作曲 Composer：柳重言 Jim Lau


今日事情如不順　今日問題如不盡
Every thing today turns out badly, one trouble after another

像處圈中圈　了斷也了不斷
all efforts go in vain

若今日你倦了頹然哭　容許我送贈暖
If you are fed up right now, crying hopelessly, allow me to give you warmth

准我漫漫長路末端亦如初戀
for which at the end of everything it'll still feel like the blossom of first love.


當日熱情燃不盡　今日熱情仍不盡
The passion of yesterday is still sparkling

就算怎都好 你願我更加願
Nothing matters as long as there's hope between you and me

共跨盡冷及暖甜和酸 才可以算是共存
We coexist overcoming all ups and downs, laughters and tears

能共患難才是認真的有緣
having gone through thick and thin is the real destiny.

陳奕迅 - 浮誇
Eason Chan - Exaggeration

作詞 Lyricist：黃偉文 Wyman Wong
作曲 Composer：C Y Kong



有人問我我就會講但是無人來
I'd say if somebody asks, but nobody came.

我期待到無奈有話要講得不到裝載
From high hope to frastration. I've got things to tell but nobody bothers.

我的心情猶像樽蓋等被揭開 咀巴卻在養青苔
I feel like the lid of a bottle waiting to get opened, but my lips are left with moss

人潮內愈文靜愈變得不受理睬 自己要搞出意外
In the middle of the crowd, silence is never heard, only big drama gets the spotlight.

像突然 地高歌 任何地方也像開四面台
Sing out loud out of the blue, every place can be a open stage

著最閃的衫 扮十分感慨
Wear the most stunning glitters, pretend to think deep.

有人來拍照要記住插袋
Make sure to pose with hands in jacket when the paparazzi comes

Eason Chan 苦瓜 Bitter Melon | Cantonese Lyrics English Translation

歌詞英文翻譯
Cantonese lyrics English Translation

苦瓜　陳奕迅
Bitter Melon - Eason Chan

作詞 Lyricist：黃偉文 Wyman Wong
作曲 Composer：Kenix Cheang@Private Zoo

共你乾杯再舉住　突然間相看莞爾　盤中透著那味兒
The monent we clink our glasses, we exchange looks and smile, relishing the savour of the plate

大概今生有些事　是提早都不可以　明白其妙處
Perhaps things are meant to be difficult until the right moment comes

就像你當日痛心她回絕一番美意
Just like that day when she turned you down

怎發現你從情劫亦能學懂開解與寬恕
Not until then did you realize how to forget and to forgive

也像我很糾結的公事　此際回頭看　原來並沒有事
What I used to call trouble at work, now that I look back, that's not even a thing.

真想不到當初我們也討厭吃苦瓜
How we used not to appreciate bitter melon

今天竟吃得出那睿智愈來愈記掛
Everyday it tastes more and more like wisdom

開始時捱一些苦　栽種絕處的花
Live on with the ordeal of bitterness, scatter seeds in the extreme

幸得艱辛的引路甜蜜不致太寡
Bitterness and sweetness complement each other

青春的快餐只要求快不理哪一家
Whatever I wanted when I was young, I wanted it quick and instant

哪有玩味的空檔來欣賞細緻淡雅
Why bother appreciating delicacy and simplicity?

到大悟大徹將虎嚥的昇華　等消化學沏茶
Later I came to appreciate the patience to swallow, to digest, and the art of tea infusion

至共你覺得苦也不太差
After all bitterness is not that bad when shared



下半生竟再開學　入迷的終於醒覺　移走最後的死角
I am having a new start of my life, I realized that it was not the end of the world

用痛苦烘托歡樂　讓餘甘彰顯險惡　如藝壇傑作
embracing the moments of bitterness followed by happiness, goodness after evilness, like masterpieces of art

就像我一直聽香夭從未沾濕眼角
I used to be indifferent listening to oldies, not shedding a tear

仔細地看神壇裡木紋什麼精巧也不覺
unenthusiastic to the details of the wood carved altar

卻在某蕭瑟晚秋深夜　忽爾明瞭了　而黃葉便碎落
yet everything became clear in that night of solitude late in autumn, while the golden leaves had fallen


做人沒有苦澀可以嗎
Can we live a life without bitterness?


真想不到當初我們也討厭吃苦瓜
How we used to stay away from bitter melon

當睇清世間所有定理又何用再怕
But what is to be avoided from once you have comprehended the theory of everything?

珍惜淡定的心境　苦過後更加清
Tranquility prevails as bitterness fades

萬般過去亦無味但有領會留下
Thousand flavours are gone but the essence of experience stays



今天先記得聽過人說這叫半生瓜
I recall some naming it 'half-mature gourd'

那意味著它的美年輕不會洞察嗎
Doesn't it symbolize the immaturity and the ignorance in the younger days?

到大悟大徹將一切都昇華　這一秒坐擁晚霞
Everything clears out in golden hour, under the red dusk

我共你覺得苦也不太差
Bitterness does not seem that bad when it's shared with you

La Palabra Crisis y Oportunidad en Chino

Ayer Aldo Ferrer me preguntó en la facultad si la palabra crisis en chino significó peligro y oportunidad.

La palabra crisis en chino se compone de dos caracteres.
Chino simplificado: 危机; chino tradicional: 危機
Pronunciación mandarín: wei-ji; cantonés: ngai-gei

危 significa peligro, sencillamente.
機 tiene varios significados, incluyendo al momento de una incidente o un punto crucial, oportunidad, maquina, entre otros. Se usa con otro(s) carácter(es) normalmente para formarse una palabra. Otros ejemplos son: 機會 chance y 隨機應變 ser adaptable a las circunstancias cambiantes.

Aunque la palabra crisis en chino no representa completamente la famosa frase 'cuando hay peligro hay oportunidad', la palabra suele ser interpretada como 有危必有機 (有: haber, tener; 必: por cierto). Es una expresión muy común.

南美烏拉圭政府合法銷售大麻

南美烏拉圭政府最快於2014下半年提供合法大麻銷售點，售價定為一克一美元，將成爲南美第一個官方售賣大麻的國家。

官員聲稱此舉可保證大麻質量，該定價亦與非法販毒市場看齊，有助杜絕毒販毒交易。

立法提案於今年七月在該國衆議院通過。每人每月最多可買四十克大麻。

一克大麻相等於一支香煙。

烏拉圭法例嚴禁於公共室内場所吸煙，包括大麻(marijuana)及煙草(tobacco)。法律亦禁止於所有媒體投放香煙廣告。
