Living in the shadow of COVID-19, don’t we all feel that life stopped at some point?

寂寞圍繞著電視 垂死堅持 在兩點半消失
Loneliness surrounded the TV, dying yet persisting, [until it] disappeared at 2:30 am
多希望有人來陪我 度過末日
How I wish to have someone keep me company, to survive doomsday
空虛敲打著意志 彷彿這時間已靜止
Emptiness kept striking the willpower, as if time was still
我懷疑人們的生活 有所掩飾
I suspected that people were hiding something about their life

Ah ah ah, dying yet persisting
啊 啊 啊 已靜止
Ah ah ah, it stopped already
衝動在瞬間消失 夢被稀釋 不停轉動著手指
The impulse disappeared in a split second. Dreams were diluted. I kept twirling my fingers
我幻想美麗的生活 何時開始
I imagined when a beautiful life would start
時光不經意流逝 像顆在耗費的電池
Time elapsed when I wasn’t paying attention. It’s like a battery in use
我感到有點失落 無法抑制
I felt a little at loss. I couldn’t suppressed that feeling
啊 啊 啊 垂死堅持
Ah ah ah, dying yet persisting
啊 啊 啊 已靜止
Ah ah ah, it stopped already
啊 啊 啊 垂死堅持

Singable English Version
VERSE #1:
I’m waiting for the time, when the clouds scud and the winds arise
I’m self indulgent, but how can I catch a whiff of your fragrance?
In a land truly afar, the flames of war engulf whatever we have
You’ve seen this coming, that sorrow follows anywhere we go
CHORUS:
I fight for you, I vow to win, I want you back
the stars saw me, the sky heard me, you are the one
If I were gone, would you erase my name off your mind?
Love you forever and ever
VERSE #2:
Let me bring back your smile
I will never make you cry
I havn known you from childhood
I can still hear your laugh
When did we lose contact?
The rift is scorching my heart
But I don’t give up
[Note: A literal translation of the song title is “Us.”]
VERSE #1:
陽光刺眼抱著洗好的相片
The sunshine is glaring. I held the newly-developed photos
好想讓時間走得慢一點
How I wish that time slowed down a bit
多點一杯熱湯霧氣裏想象
I ordered an extra cup of warm soup, musing in its hot steam
多少快樂我試著去遺忘
How many happy memories did I try to erase?
VERSE #2:
如果聽見我不小心說了謊
If you happened to hear that I accidentally told a lie
希望你可以為了我假裝
I hope you can pretend [I told the truth] for me
不過是到明天換一個地方
It was just switching to a new place the next day
我感覺你不肯講的慌張
[But] I felt your anxiety which you wouldn’t explain
CHORUS:
我笑著遠遠看著你追往風的方向
I smiled gazing at you chasing the wind
曾經開心的指著櫥窗買走夢想
[We] once pointed at the shop window and happily bought our dreams
怎麽愛情都沒有經過最後一晚
How come love never sustains the last night?
感覺一下不快樂又何妨
Why can’t one feel sorrow once in a while?
VERSE #2
CHORUS x2
想起我們分手時快天亮
I recalled it was almost the break of dawn when we parted ways
笑或不笑淚水不能衡量
Whether we smiled or not, tears can’t measure [the meaning of our breakup]

[Note: This song was included in Wallace Chung’s 1998 album Adore. Wallace once said he had a soft spot for this song. I guess this song is about a disheartening love story: Two like-minded people severed a beautiful romantic relationship. They broke up in their last trip together. The day before they went to the place where the woman planned the breakup, the man felt the woman’s anxiety but he couldn’t draw out the reticent girlfriend. It is possible that the man is Wallace himself. As for the lie, I guess it refers to claiming to be single or denying a former relationship. Wallace hoped that the ex-girlfriend would not bust the lie.
Or maybe my guess is totally wrong—maybe the story is fictitious; maybe the man was watching himself chasing the wind and he was the one who broke up with the girlfriend to pursue his dreams…Again, this song is open to various interpretations.]

CHORUS x2
[Note: This song reveals a lot about how Wallace looked at himself back in the late 1990s when he was 22-23 years old. He unapologetically insisted on being himself, though he did feel a little self-conscious about his Mandarin, childlike candor, and tactless remarks. His self-evaluation is presented through a woman who analyzes like him, speaks Mandarin like him, and even orders coffee like him. Obviously Wallace had a pretty good idea of who he was and asked for tolerance of his idiosyncracies. He loved himself and even warned himself not to be too self-indulgent (“I must not fall in love with you”). Well, it would be hard not to fall in love with a creative soul who fantasizes gossiping with a cup of coke!
Years went by, Wallace changed. Now he is a seaoned singer and actor, fluent in Mandarin, forever considerate and tactful, and keeps some innocuous secrets. What hasn’t changed is his boundless imagination. And his determination to “sing for life!”]

VERSE #1:
你丟掉 自己一直最心愛的玩具
You threw away the toy that had always been your favorite
當它陳舊 再也不能 給你驚喜
When it turned old and could no longer give you pleasant surprises
送給了你 除了它 還有那時候
[I] gave it to you. Besides, [I also gave you]
我的心 和自己
my heart and myself of that moment
CHORUS:
多麼想抱一抱 你怕冷的身體
How I wish I could embrace your cold-blooded body
能不能 給你要的甜蜜
May I give you the sweet love you want?
告訴我 你試著去生活
Tell me, you [left only because you] tried to live [your] life
多想再聽一次 你天真的問候
How I wish to hear once more, your simple and unaffected greeting
讓我說 你快樂而沉默
Let me say [this], you are [now] happy and quiet
[Note: I guess this line means “If you ask me, I will say that you are now happy and quiet.”]
你好不好 我很想知道
How are you? I really want to know
VERSE #2:
到最後我們慢慢的什麼都沒說
By the end, we gradually stopped talking

Would [your love] still be me? I want to know it
[Note: I thought this song would be easy to translate but I was wrong. The lyrics consist of succint, polysemous sentences. As a result, I thought long and hard what the story was about. Here is my guess: An independent and mature woman asked for a break because she wanted more freedom. The couple remained friends after the breakup but they didn’t talk to each other. The man is waiting for a reunion. The parts that I feel most uncertain about are “If you ask me, I will say you are now happy and reticent” and “…as a friend, but our connection is never severed.” Let me know if you have different interpretations.]

感覺夠 就算孤單壹個人駝在沙漠

VERSE #1:
都是因为谁 我变成了贼
dōu shì yīn wèi shuí wǒ biàn chéng le zéi
For whom did I become a thief?
不能光明正大 得鬼鬼祟祟
bù néng guāng míng zhèng dà děi guǐ guǐ suì suì
Can’t make it open and aboveboard, have to sneak around
是不是幻影 是不是幻听
shì bú shì huàn yǐng shì bú shì huàn tīng
Is it an hallucination? Am I having acouasm?
我怀疑有人按门铃
wǒ huái yí yǒu rén àn mén líng
I suspect someone rang the doorbell
VERSE #2:
你的笑眯眯 我的小秘密
nǐ de xiào mī mī wǒ de xiǎo mì mì
Your smiling eyes, my little secret
不能四目交集 不能太焦急
bù néng sì mù jiāo jí bù néng tài jiāo jí
Can’t look you in the eye, can’t be too impatient
暗自的心虚 暗藏了玄机
àn zì de xīn xū àn cáng le xuán jī
Behind the diffidence lurks a secret
按耐不住深呼吸
àn nài bú zhù shēn hū xī
Almost got carried away, have to take a deep breath

VERSE #3:
我先听牌 你还不知好歹 状况外
wǒ xiān tīng pái nǐ hái bù zhī hǎo dài zhuàng kuàng wài
I am almost going to win, but you still can’t appreciate what’s good for you, [as] you are not focused
[Note: 听牌 [tīng pái] “waiting for the one necessary tile to win” is a technical term in Mahjong. The Mahjong and card game jargon in this song serves as a metaphor for different stages and strategies in dating.]
先别摊牌 真爱总是慢慢来 慢半拍
xiān bié tān pái zhēn ài zǒng shì màn màn lái màn bàn pāi
Don’t rush to show your hand, [as] true love always comes slowly, a half beat behind
[Rap]
什麽都被偷 都 我的沙发和被窝 都 通 通被你躺过嗕~
shén me dōu bèi tōu dōu wǒ de shā fā hé bèi wō dōu tōng tōng bèi nǐ tǎng guò nuó
Everything has been stolen. You lay on my sofa and my bed.
喂你吃糖果 做 什麽白日梦

(I’m) feeding you candies. What are you daydreaming about?
你不是个 不是个小偷 手机和电锅 在那里依旧

You are not, not a thief. My cell phone and the rice cooker, are still there
什麽被偷走？ 所有的爱 来自我

It’s all for you that I get tongue-tied
才刚打翻水杯 又打翻咖啡
cái gāng dǎ fān shuǐ bēi yòu dǎ fān kā fēi
Having just broken a water glass, I dropped the coffee again
会不会後悔 会不会幻灭
huì bú huì hòu huǐ huì bú huì huàn miè
Will I regret it? Will I be disillusioned?
敢不敢再按一次铃
gǎn bù gǎn zài àn yí cì líng
Dare you ring the doorbell once again?

你的红心A 现在押给谁
nǐ de hóng xīn a xiàn zài yā gěi shuí
Your red heart A—whom is it wagered on?

把门踹开 真爱何必九弯 十八拐
bǎ mén chuài kāi zhēn ài hé bì jiǔ wān shí bā guǎi
Kick the door open—now that it is true love, why beat about the bush?
正中下怀 真爱总在该来的 时候来

Just as I expected, true love always comes when it should
