我的歌 [My Song] - Ekin Cheng 鄭伊健 {Cantonese 96}

If I compose a song on the experiences of my whole life 
and sing it, from the past to the present, to the future 
Capricious music, rise and fall of syllables, are life’s vicissitudes 
Hope my song is interesting, though not romantic
There are many highlights of my life that can not be replayed, 
That will vanish into thin air if I don’t hold them tight
For this reason I must inscribe the turns and twists in music 
Without this proof, memory can not bear the load  
I’ll play it with my fingers if my voice wears,
Sing it with memory if my fingers are maimed 
Thought like the floating cloud; feelings resemble streaming water 
Sing as long as I am alive 
Born to be sentimental; my heart filled with tender feelings 
Hope to touch your soul with my songs 
and wake up your sleeping senses  
as gently as the dragonfly flits across the lakes 
Let’s witness these halcyon days 
If I become alone one day,   
Let this song be a pledge of memory  
Let me sing the song nonstop; let it last for ever
