一生何求 [What one wants in life] - Danny Chan 陳百強 {Cantonese 89}

Sang by the late Danny Chan. It was also used for a TVB series Looking Back in Anger in 1989, one of the sadder TVB series.

How can the rotation of cold and warm stop?
How many years have gone?
Searching for so long but still lost
Holding in hands are those I don’t want.
What really have I got?
No way to explain gain or lost.
React just on hearsay evidence.
Have no idea what should explore.

What is life for?
Always weighing to take or drop
Spending all my life,
but the answer still passed me by.

What is life for?
In perplexity, nothing can be aware of.
It’s unexpected that what I’ve lost
is all I got.

What is life for?
Struggled and withdrawn.
All those vivid colors in dreams
are uncatchable when they’re gone.

What is life for?
Who cares about boos and applauses?
It’s unexpected that what I’ve lost
is all I got.
