愛得太遲
Really - this song is popular because it speaks to a lot of us.It speaks to ME.
Pardon my translation. I want this to reach out to more people... and this is a real story.
愛得太遲
歌手：古巨基 作曲：楊鎮邦 填詞：林夕
我過去 那死黨 早晚共對
My good friend and I were together day and night in the past
各也紮職以後 沒法暢聚
After we started working, we can do that no more
而終於相約到 但無言共對 疏淡如水
When we eventually get together, we have nothing to say to each other
We no longer feel for each other -
日夜做 見爸爸 剛好想呻
After working day and night, I saw my dad and just wanted to complain -
卻霎眼 看出他多了皺紋
But suddenly, I see more wrinkles on him
而他的蒼老感 是從來未覺 太內疚擔心
I have never sensed that he has gotten older
I feel regretful and worried...
最心痛是 愛得太遲
Love that comes too late is the most painful
有些心意 不可等某個日子
Certain gestures cannot wait till the right day
盲目地發奮 忙忙忙其實自私
It is actually selfish to work and keep oneself busy blindly
夢中也習慣 有壓力要我得志
I am used to it even in my dreams, that
I am expected to succeed
最可怕是 愛需要及時 只差一秒 心聲都已變歷史
The most scary thing is, love needs to come at the right time
One second passes and all would have become history
忙極亦放肆 見我愛見的相知
No matter how busy I am I still want to meet the one I love
要抱要吻要怎麼也好 偏要推說等下一次
To hug, to kiss, to do whatever
It has to be delayed till the next time
我也覺我體質彷似下降 看了症 得到是別要太忙
I also felt that I am getting weaker
The doctor said that I shouldn't be working too hard
而影碟都掃光 但從來未看 因有事趕
I have bought all the DVDs
But I have never watched them, because there are things to do
日夜做 儲的錢都應該夠 到聖誕 正好講跟我白頭
I worked day and night, I should have saved enough money
When Christmas came, I proposed to her
誰知她開了口 未能挨下去 已恨我很久
But she said, she couldn't wait for me already
And she had hated me for a long time
錯失太易 愛得太遲 我怎想到 她忍不到那日子
It is too easy to miss - my love came too late
How would I have thought, that she could not wait till that day
盲目地發奮 忙忙忙從來未知 幸福會掠過 再也沒法說鍾意
Working hard blindly, as I was keeping myself busy, I never knew
That happiness would fly by, and I cannot say I like her again
愛一個字 也需要及時 只差一秒 心聲都已變歷史
This word 'love', also has to be at the right time
One second passes and all would have become history
為何未放肆 見我愛見的相知
Why didn't I daringly try to meet the one I love
要抱要吻要怎麼也好 不要相信一切有下次
To hug, to kiss, to do whatever
Do not believe that there will always be a 'next time'
相擁我所愛又花幾多秒
How many seconds does it take to hug someone I love?
這幾秒 能夠做到又有多少
How much can I do in these few seconds?
未算少 足夠遺憾忘掉
Not little at all
Enough to regret and forget...
多少抱憾 多少過路人 太懂估計 卻不懂愛錫自身
How much regrets, how many passer-bys
Know how to calculate too well, but does not know how to take care of themselves
人人在發奮 想起他朝都興奮
Everyone is working hard; it is exciting to just think about the future
但今晚未過 你要過也很吸引
But tonight is not over yet -
If you want it to be over, that is enticing too
縱不信運 你不過是人 理想很遠 愛於咫尺卻在等
Although you do not believe in destiny, you are still just human
Your ambitions are far-fetched, love is right next to you yet it is waiting
來日別操心 趁你有能力開心
Don't worry too much about your future
Live a happy life while you still can
世界有太多東西發生 不要等到天上俯瞰
There are too many things happening in this world
Do not wait until you have to watch from heaven...
