如無意外 [If there was no accident] - Denise Ho Hocc 何韻詩 {Cantonese}

作詞：黃偉文     作曲：hocc@goomusic

航程尚有幾多千百里
→ How many thousands of miles still lie ahead on this flight—

雲層上平靜得出奇
→ Above the clouds, the calm feels almost unreal.

無聊令人回想起
→ Boredom stirs up old memories—

其時其實我 不想失去了你
→ Back then, I truly didn’t want to lose you.

然而當時 我未能甘於 只擁有你
→ Yet at that time, I couldn’t be content with only having you.

若是沒有這意外 也許經已快樂地
→ If not for that accident, perhaps by now I’d be happily

重回平淡家中等你
→ back home, waiting for you in our quiet, ordinary life.

計劃明年的婚禮 照舊或延期
→ Planning next year’s wedding—whether as planned, or delayed.

其實本應這套戲 能幸福的演到尾
→ Truly, this story should have played out happily to the end.

但我好奇 想試試企頒獎臺被贊美
→ But curiosity drove me—to try standing on the podium, basking in praise.

原來就算終於打了勝仗
→ In the end, even after winning the war,

無人在前面的機場
→ no one waited at the airport ahead,

迎來閘門來分享
→ no one by the gate to share it with me.

明明能共你 熱戀中收場
→ Clearly, our story could have ended in love’s embrace—

然而當時 有別人專機 催促我上
→ Yet back then, another private jet urged me aboard.

搭上了客機 竟然從未降落
→ I boarded the plane, never to land—

高空裏
→ suspended high above,

無辦法可以 回去了
→ with no way back.

你似是風景 縮到最細 消失了
→ You became like a distant view—shrinking smaller and smaller, until you vanished.

無奈在這刻你才重要
→ And only now, helplessly, do I realise how much you mattered.

若是沒有這意外 也許經已快樂地
→ If not for that accident, perhaps by now I’d be happily

重回平淡家中等你
→ back home, waiting for you in our quiet, ordinary life.

聽著懷中的心跳 贊造物神奇
→ Listening to the heartbeat in my arms, marvelling at creation’s wonder.

其實本應這套戲 能幸福的演到尾
→ Truly, this story should have played out happily to the end.

但我好奇 想到處看到處飛
→ But I was curious—eager to wander and see the world.

若是沒有這意外 也許經已快樂地
→ If not for that accident, perhaps by now I’d be happily

重回平淡家中等你
→ back home, waiting for you in our quiet, ordinary life.

決定孩子應該叫約翰或瑪姬
→ Deciding whether our child should be named John or Maggie.

還是當初揀了你
→ Or perhaps, I should’ve simply chosen you from the start.

如沒意外到分手結尾 我退出才合理
→ If we were bound to part even without that accident, then perhaps it was only right that I stepped aside.

鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的 [How was steel forged] - Denise Ho Hocc 何韻詩 {Cantonese 10}

Melt me from the beginning to get me away from my believe of bring troubles, 
forging a brighter and more beautiful me. 
After the cold water, got to wait for a long time. 

After each shock, I become stronger. 
The hardest is the fight of words, 
how I should put on my armour to fight against words. 

Really this steel helmet, getting thicker everyday. 
At the end, making it hard for me to even stand. 
I am hurt in the inside, but as a strong person, 
how could I rest. 

I have transformed into steel, 
but I have never won. 
No one would remember at night. 
I wanted to be as brittle as ceramic. 

The easily broken heart, just like glass. 
I become steel, standing still fighting hard. 
Becoming the biggest contrast. 
If I can be like a normal human, 
having the luck to have love, 
then I wouldn’t need this steel arm. 

If I can be so strong that even lonely got scared, 
how many time I have to cry to build this forever body? 
I am able to kill off an army troop, but now I realised that my past was like water. 
I am so strong that now I couldn’t go back. 

Sadly, I felt that I couldn’t control it. 
I grew to a point that even I drop I wouldn’t break. 
But I am trapped inside my body, no one came, couldn’t get out. 
I have transformed into steel, but I have never won. 
No one would remember at night. I wanted to be as brittle as ceramic. 

The easily broken heart, just like glass. 
I become steel, standing still fighting hard. 
Becoming the biggest contrast. 

If I can be like a normal human, having the luck to have love, 
then I wouldn’t need to use this sharp weapon in my hand. 
I have become steel, but for who? 

I only realise when there is no road ahead. 
I wanted to be as brittle as ceramic, so white and flawless, 
as beautiful as a flower vase. 
I have become steel and everyday I landed in the war field. 

No more happiness or sadness on my face. 
If I could be in love, slowly. 
Let me use the real me to love you. 
I will want to live and scare to die.

無臉人 [Faceless people] - Denise Ho Hocc 何韻詩 {Mandarin 12}

Lyrics: 吴青峰 (Wu Qingfeng)
Composition: Kiri Tse
Arrangement: 青山大乐队 (Green Mountain Orchestra)

Lyrics translation by renn at www.onehallyu.com

每天我戴好面具，
不需要有自己的长相，自己的表情。
在琐事中忙碌不已，人群里盲目前进，
这是生活还是梦境？

měi tiān wǒ dài hǎo miàn jù,
bù xū yào yǒu zì jǐ de zhǎng xiāng, zì jǐ de biǎo qíng.
zài suǒshì zhōng mánglù bùyǐ, rénqún lǐ mángmù qiánjìn,
zhè shì shēnghuó háishì mèngjìng?

Every day I put on my mask.
[I] don't need to have [my] own appearance [or my] own expressions.
Endlessly keeping busy with trivialities, blindly moving forward in the crowd,
Is this life or is this a dream?


每晚我看着自己，
那个自己都不认得的自己。
五官早已模糊不清，
就像是，谁都可以，随时就把我代替。

měi wǎn wǒ kàn zhe zì jǐ,
nà gè zì jǐ dōu bù rèn dé de zì jǐ.
wǔ guān zǎo yǐ mó hú bù qīng,
jiù xiàng shì, shéi dōu kě yǐ, suí shí jiù bǎ wǒ dài tì.

Every night I look at myself,
That self that even I do not recognize.
[Those] facial features have long since become blurred,
As if anyone can, at any time, replace me.


*
这样我是存在着？
还是我只不过是活着？

zhè yàng wǒ shì cún zài zhe?
hái shì wǒ zhǐ bù guò shì huó zhe?

Like this, do I exist?
Or am I just alive?


**
我们像是无脸人，
一成不变地，走在这个人生的大齿轮，
思考别人怎样去思考，直到变成其中一个。
但当我回望这旅程，那些梦是否隐隐痛着。

wǒ men xiàng shì wú liǎn rén,
yī chéng bù biàn de, zǒu zài zhè gè rén shēng de dà chǐ lún,
sī kǎo bié rén zěn yàng qù sīkǎo, zhí dào biàn chéng qí zhōng yī gè.
dàn dāng wǒ huí wàng zhè lǚ chéng, nà xiē mèng shì fǒu yǐn yǐn tòng zhe.

We are like faceless people,
Not changing in the slightest, walking on this giant cogwheel of life,
Pondering about how others think, until [we] become one of [them].
But when I look back on this journey, do those dreams dully ache?


每当我看着新闻，
不需要有自己的判断，自己的选择。
伟大的事，悲惨的事，每天不都会发生？
当笑话看比较快乐。

měi dāng wǒ kàn zhe xīn wén,
bù xū yào yǒu zì jǐ de pàn duàn, zì jǐ de xuǎn zé.
wěi dà de shì, bēi cǎn de shì, měi tiān bù dōu huì fā shēng?
dāng xiào huà kàn bǐ jiào kuài lè.

Whenever I'm watching the news,
[I] don't need to have [my] own [sense of] judgement [or my] own choices.
Magnificent things, tragic things—don't they happen every day?
[One will be] happier treating them as jokes.


每当我看着自己，
那个自己都不认得的自己。
那会不会我的生命，
就像是，今天结束，就被遗忘的标题？

měi dāng wǒ kàn zhe zì jǐ,
nàgè zì jǐ dōu bù rèn dé de zì jǐ.
nà huì bù huì wǒ de shēngmìng,
jiù xiàng shì, jīn tiān jié shù, jiù bèi yí wàng de biāo tí?

Whenever I look at myself,
That self that even I do not recognize.
So will my life,
Be like a headline that's forgotten as soon as today ends?


Repeat *


Repeat **


不能再沉默，让种子在果实里渐渐冰封;
不能再沉没，看着自己在水中，却放弃了一动也不动。
昨天已经死去，后悔都是浪费;
明天还在继续，改变都是机会。
这么说吧：事情还没到最后...最后...最后...最后......

bù néng zài chén mò, ràng zhǒng zǐ zài guǒ shí lǐ jiàn jiàn bīng fēng;
bù néng zài chén mò, kàn zhe zì jǐ zài shuǐ zhōng, què fàng qì le yī dòng yě bù dòng.
zuó tiān yǐ jīng sǐ qù, hòu huǐ dōu shì làng fèi;
míng tiān hái zài jì xù, gǎi biàn dōu shì jī huì.
zhè me shuō ba: shì qíng hái méi dào zuì hòu...zuì hòu...zuì hòu...zuì hòu......

[I] can no longer go on being silent [and] letting the seeds gradually freeze inside the fruit;
[I] can no longer go on sinking, seeing myself in the water but giving up and not moving an inch.
Yesterday has already died, regrets are all a waste;
Tomorrow is still continuing on, changes are all opportunities.
[Let me] put it this way: things haven't reached the end...the end...the end...the end......


我们不是无脸人，
谁也都必须，走在这个人生的大齿轮，
怀疑别人怎样去思考，直到变成独一无二。
到时候，回望这旅程，那些梦是否重新亮着？

wǒ men bù shì wú liǎn rén,
shéi yě dōu bì xū, zǒu zài zhè gè rén shēng de dà chǐ lún,
huái yí bié rén zěn yàng qù sī kǎo, zhí dào biàn chéng dú yī wú èr.
dào shí hòu, huí wàng zhè lǚ chéng, nà xiē mèng shì fǒu chóng xīn liàng zhe?

We are not faceless people,
Everyone has to walk on this giant cogwheel of life,
Questioning how others think, until [one] becomes a unique entity.
At that time, when [one] looks back on this journey, do those dreams shine again?

鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的 [How Steel is Made] - Denise Ho Hocc 何韻詩 {Cantonese 10}

鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的 How Steel is Made
唱：何韻詩　曲：Vincent Chow@sense　詞：黃偉文
Performed by: Hocc
Composed by: Vincent Chow
Lyrics by: Wyman Wong

從頭熔掉我多災的信仰
鑄造更光更亮
淋過冷水　也等得漫長
隨着每個打擊　我會愈強
最難舌劍唇槍
怎樣武裝　和人言打仗

其實這鋼盔　天天加厚
最後令我　站着亦牽強
我縱是內傷　但強人　哪可休養

我變做了鋼鐵　但未完全勝利
無人晚上會記起
我都想可以脆弱到　彷似瓷器
極易碎那顆心　就如玻璃

我變做了鋼鐵　屺立茫茫戳地
形成最礙眼對比
若我得到常人　戀愛運氣
又哪用鐵金剛　一雙鐵臂

如可強硬到孤單都嚇退
要滴過幾次淚
才夠建築　永生的身軀

然後我掃得低　一支軍隊
先知過去如水
堅毅如此　原來回不去

無奈我有點　迫不得已
發育直到　墜地亦不碎
卻困着肉身　沒人來　也出不去


我變做了鋼鐵　但未完全勝利
無人晚上會記起
我都想可以脆弱到　彷似瓷器
極易碎那顆心　就如玻璃

我變做了鋼鐵　迄立茫茫戳地
形成最礙眼對比
若我分到常人　戀愛運氣
又哪用我手中　這利器

我變做了鋼鐵　但為誰人獻技
前無去路至記起
我都想可以脆弱到　彷似瓷器
亮白而無暇　猶像花樽精美

我變做了鋼鐵　每日重臨戰地
眉頭再沒樂與悲
若我得到談情　慢條斯理
讓我用我真身　愛你

以後我貪生　又怕死

Melt me all over again for disastrous beliefs
Casting will make me brighter and shinier
Diving into water will make me durable
After every hit I’ll become stronger
But with these words you say
How can I prepare to fight a verbal war?

Actually this helmet is thickened everyday
It’ll ultimately make me stand strong and proud
But how do you heal for internal damages?

I’ve become steel, yet I’m not totally victorious
No one will remember me at night
I also wish I can be as weak as the fine China
The heart can then be easily broken, just like glass

I’ve become steel, standing here at the warzone
yet it’s the sharpest contrast
If I can have the layman’s luck on love
then why would I need this armor, this arm of steel?

If I can be so strong that even lonliness retreats
How many tears do I have to shed
to construct an eternal body?

Then I can sweep an entire army
predict the future with the fluidity of water
Such determination, turns out I can’t return

I nevertheless feel forced
to not break down even when fallen
Yet I’m trapped in this body
No one’s coming for me and I can’t get out

I’ve become steel, yet I’m not totally victorious
No one will remember me at night
I also wish I can be as weak as the fine China
The heart can then be easily broken, just like glass

I’ve become steel, standing here at the warzone
yet it’s the sharpest contrast
If I can have the layman’s luck on love
then why would I need this sharp object, held in my hand?

I’ve become steel, yet who am I performing for?
There’s no road to go as I can recall
I also wish I can be as weak as the fine China
Clear and perfected, as delicate as a vase

I’ve become steel, returning to the warzone everyday
There are no more emotions in my brows
If I am able to love, then very slowly
I’ll use my real body to love you

I’ll be a wimp from now on

木紋 [Wooden Grain] - Denise Ho Hocc 何韻詩 {Cantonese 07}

唱：何韻詩　曲：張繼聰　詞：黃偉文　編：張繼聰 Performed by: Hocc Composed and Arranged by: Louise Cheung Lyrics by: Wyman Wong

如果　一手鋸開枯樹 木不會發現痛 不過　日日澆水的我 覺得被挖空 如果　必須結束關係 難扮成從未栽種 讓我　數著年輪 這些年輪　我的心會痛 畢竟那段如沐春風 早刻進百年長的信 在信中　圈圈緊扣 情感多深厚 前因　非因　錯種 分開簡單　抹去往事極難 幾多溫馨　燭光晚餐 難以用　斧頭一劈 叫畫面飛散 伴侶沒了　記憶會為患 倚星細語　抱月夜談 歷歷在目　錄下年鑑 來年樹倒　身影孤　煙花散 年輪未可推翻　化不淡 緣慳　但是人非草木 並不會太易慣 刻個　木造的心給我 痛苦未會減 情願　舊事連根一拔 忘滅如燃盡的炭 但我　數著年輪 幾圈年輪 已經濕了眼 分手與又平復之間 少不過百年零一晚 就怕翻風的一晚 回首貪一眼 回憶急速擴散 分開簡單　抹去往事極難 幾多溫馨　燭光晚餐 難以用　斧頭一劈　叫畫面飛散 伴侶沒了　記憶會為患 倚星細語　抱月夜談 歷歷在目　錄下年鑑 來年樹倒　身影孤　煙花散 年輪未可推翻　化不淡 就怕新婚的一晚　臨終貪一眼 徒添幾分慨嘆 分開簡單　抹去往事極難 幾多溫馨　燭光晚餐 難以用　斧頭一劈 叫畫面飛散 伴侶沒了　記憶會為患 倚星細語　抱月夜談 歷歷在目　錄下年鑑 來年樹倒　身影孤　煙花散 情長未可推翻　化不淡

If I must saw down an old tree the wood would not feel a thing But for me who’s been watering the tree daily would certainly be hollowed out If you must end this relationship and pretend the tree never existed Let me count these tree rings these tree rings, because my heart certainly will ache Nonetheless the time has passed And sculpted into this lengthy letter Within this letter enclosed our deepest feelings Our beginning was not planted by accident It’s easy to depart but it’s arduous to forget the countless candlelight dinners It’s hard to swing an axe and expect the scenes to fade out Without a partner the memory will only be trouble All the small talks, beneath the stars In front of our eyes, within the journal The tree can fall, as shadow and fireworks can disperse But the tree rings cannot be undone, cannot be dissolved Paths can end but unlike plants, it’ll take a while for us Even if you sculpt me a wooden heart, the pain may not be any less I rather get to the bottom of our past like thoroughly burnt charcoal But once I start counting the tree rings, the first few rings, and my eyes start swelling up In between our on and off agains There’s no less than one-hundred and one nights I fear that on a windy night where I’ll look back into the past The memories will fastly pervade me It’s easy to depart but it’s arduous to forget the countless candlelight dinners It’s hard to swing an axe and expect the scenes to fade out Without a partner the memory will only be trouble All the small talks, beneath the stars In front of our eyes, within the journal The tree can fall, as shadow and fireworks can disperse But the tree rings cannot be undone, cannot be dissolved I just fear if I look back even on the night of my new marriage A few deep sighs will still be waiting for me It’s easy to depart but it’s arduous to forget the countless candlelight dinners It’s hard to swing an axe and expect the scenes to fade out Without a partner the memory will only be trouble All the small talks, beneath the stars In front of our eyes, within the journal The tree can fall, as shadow and fireworks can disperse But the love cannot be undone, cannot be dissolved

化蝶 [Butterflies / The Butterfly Lovers] - Denise Ho Hocc 何韻詩, Hubert Wu 胡鴻鈞 {Cantonese 05}

墳前沒有花
fan cin mut jau faa
in front of the grave there are no flowers 

容我撥開沙土　用眼淚種些吧
jung ngo but hoi saa tou jung ngaan leoi zung se baa
allow me to remove the soil using tears to grow some flowers 

長埋是你嗎
coeng maai si nei maa
is it you that is buried 

何以未講一聲　就撇下我　回答吧
ho ji mei gong jat sing zau pit haa ngo wui daap baa
could you have not said anything and disregard me please respond 

上次匆匆一別　還約了
soeng ci cung cung jat bit waan joek liu
last time left hurriedly still made another date 

結伴去　共你遇上那道橋
git bun heoi gung nei jyu soeng naa dou kiu
accompanying you in encountering that bridge

約定了　改不了
joek ding liu goi bat liu
agreeing to meet cannot be changed

縱使　到此時你的心不再在跳
zung si dou ci si nei dik sam bat zoi zoi tiu
even if at this moment your heart no longer beats

共你快將相會了　重回那一秒
gung nei faai zoeng soeng wui liu cung wui naa jat miu
with you soon will meet together returning to that one second

*如何回到當時
jyu ho wui dou dong si
how to return to that moment 

猶如情侶熱戀的那時
jau jyu cing leoi jit lyun dik naa si
like lovers in that moment passionately in love

記憶可以

memory can 

幻作一對蝴蝶飛舞在時光深處
waan zok jat deoi wu dip fei mou zoi si gwong sam cyu
magically becoming a pair of butterflies fluttering in the air in the abyss of time

荼薇紅過都變枯枝
tou mei hung gwo dou bin fu zi
windflower bloomed red also become withered

血肉之軀會沒法保持*
hyut juk zi keoi wui mut faat bou ci
mortal being will have no way of maintaining

唯獨春天可以給記住
wai duk ceon tin ho ji kap gei zyu 
only spring can provide memories

樓台又架起
lau toi jau gaa hei
terrace rise again 

含笑洞悉生死　越過另有天地
ham siu dung sik saang sei jyut gwo ling jau tin dei
smiling thoroughly understanding life and death overcoming there is another world

長眠沒有起
coeng min mut jau hei
long sleep not waking 

時間若推不翻　就化蝶去　遊故地
si gaan joek teoi bat faan zau faa dip heoi jau gu dei
time if pushing not turning upside down then change to butterflies traveling to former locations

六呎荒土之下　還有你
luk cek fong tou zi haa waan jau nei
under six foot of desolate soil there is still you

約定了下世　共我更傳奇
joek ding liu haa sai gung ngo gang cyun kei
agreeing to meet in the next life with me is more legendary

最後那一口氣
zeoi hau naa jat hau hei
the last of that one breath

吐出　我當時未講的一句　愛你
tou ceot ngo dong si mei gong dik jat geoi oi nei
uttering out the one phrase I have yet said at that moment love you

頓覺　遍體　輕如會飛
deon gok pin tai hing jyu wui fei
sudden feeling all over body light enough to fly

*如何回到當時
猶如情侶熱戀的那時
記憶可以
幻作一對蝴蝶飛舞在時光深處
荼薇紅過都變枯枝
血肉之軀會沒法保持*
蝴蝶苦戀化那魂魄也願意
wu dip fu lyun faa naa wan paak jaa jyun ji
butterflies bitterly loving changing to ghosts also willing

如何回到當時
jyu ho wui dou dong si
how to return to that moment

拿回時間逆轉的鑰匙
naa wui si gaan jik zyun dik joek si
taking back the key to turning time around

記憶可以
gei jik ho ji
memory can

縱使此際神傷不已　亦曾經春至
zung si ci zai san soeng bat ji jik cang ging coen zi
even if hereat spirit endlessly injured yet previously spring arrived

凡人無法聽見的詩
faan jan mou faat teng gin dik si
the poem that ordinary people is unable to hear

種在心中　萬劫不移　我知
zung zoi sam zung maan gip bat ji ngo zi
grown in the heart ten thousand plunders not altering I know

如何回到當時
jyu ho wui dou dong si
how to return to that moment

猶如情侶熱戀的那時
jau jyu cing leoi jit lyun dik naa si
like lovers in that moment passionately in love

記憶可以
gei jik ho 
memory can

幻作一對蝴蝶飛舞在雲海深處
waan zok jat deoi wu dip fei mou zoi wan hoi sam cyu
magically becoming a pair of butterflies fluttering in the air in the abyss of clouds

荼薇紅過都變枯枝
tou mei hung gwo dou bin fu zi
windflower bloomed red also become withered

血肉之軀已沒有意思
hyut juk zi keoi ji mut jau ji si
mortal being already has no meaning

靈魂也可共處
ling wan jaa ho gung cyu
spirits also can coexist
