Song: 明年今日 (Ming nin gam yat) •Album: The Line Up

明年今日

若这一束吊灯倾泻下来
或者我 已不会存在
即使你不爱
亦不需要分开
若这一刻我竟严重痴呆
根本不需要被爱
永远在床上发梦
余生都不会再悲哀

人总需要勇敢生存
我还是重新许愿
例如学会 承受失恋
明年今日 别要再失眠
床褥都改变
如果有幸会面
或在同伴新婚的盛宴
惶惑地等待你出现
明年今日 未见你一年
谁舍得改变 离开你六十年
但愿能认得出你的子女
临别亦听得到你讲再见

在有生的瞬间能遇到你
竟花光所有运气
到这日才发现
曾呼吸过空气

A year from now

If the chandelier comes crashing down on me
Perhaps I would no longer exist
Even if your love doesn’t exist
We don’t have to part
Perhaps at this moment I’m just being foolish
Perhaps I don’t need to be loved
I’ll dream in bed forever
That way, I would never have to feel sad anymore

But we still have to live bravely
I guess I’ll make a new wish
Like learning to bear this loss of love
A year from now, I promise myself not to lose sleep anymore
I’ll change my mattress
Perhaps I’ll be lucky enough to see you again
Or else I’ll be at my friend’s wedding feast
Waiting anxiously for you to appear
A year from now, I will not have seen you for a year
Yet who could bear to change, live sixty years without you
But I still hope I can recognize your children
And to hear you say goodbye before I leave

Meeting you in this lifetime
I’ve spent all my luck already
I never realized until today
That I’ve truly been alive

Next Year, Today

If the chandelier collapsed on me
Perhaps I would no longer be alive
Though your love does not exist, I don’t see the need to keep any distance from it
Perhaps I’m severely in denial
Perhaps I do deserve any love
Stay in my bed for ever and dream
I won’t be melancholy for the rest of my life

Perhaps we need to live our lives bravely
I might as well make a new wish
To overcome this breakup
In exactly a year, please stop being insomniac
My mattress will never be the same
If I have the luck to meet you again
Or else I would simply wait for you at my companion’s wedding banquet apprehensively
In exactly a year, we’ll be separated for a year
Yet who could get used to the feeling of leaving you for 60 years
But I still hope that I can recognize your children
And hear your last goodbye before I leave eternally

The fact that I’ve met you during my lifetime proves that I’ve lucked out

However I never realized until today, that I’ve truly been alive
