凡人歌
Fan Ren Ge

Vocal: 李宗盛 (Jonathan Lee)


你我皆凡人    生在人世間
Ni wo jie fan ren, sheng zai ren shi jian

終日奔波苦    一刻不得閑

Zhong ri fen bo ku, yi ke bu de xian

既然不是仙    難免有杂念

Ji ran bu shi xian, nan mian you za nian

道義放两旁    利字擺中間

Dao yi fang liang pang, li zi bai zhong jian


多少男子漢    一怒為紅顏

Duo shao nan zi han, yi nu wei hong yan

多少同林鳥    已成分飛燕

Duo shao tong lin niao, yi cheng fen fei yan

人生何其短    何必苦苦戀

Ren sheng he qi duan, he bi ku ku lian

愛人不見了    向誰去喊冤

Ai ren bu jian liao, xiang shei qu han yuan


CHORUS:
問你    何時曾看見

Wen ni, he shi ceng kan jian

這世界為了人們改變

Zhe shi jie wei le ren men gai bian

有了夢寐以求的容顏

You le meng mei yi qiu de rong yan

是否就算是擁有春天

Shi fou jiu suan shi yong you chun tian



你我皆凡人    生在人世間

Ni wo jie fan ren, sheng zai ren shi jian

終日奔波苦    一刻不得閑

Zhong ri fen bo ku, yi ke bu de xian

你既然不是仙    難免有杂念

Ni ji ran bu shi xian, nan mian you za nian

道義放两旁    把利字擺中間

Dao yi fang liang pang, ba li zi bai zhong jian


多少男子漢    一怒為紅顏

Duo shao nan zi han, yi nu wei hong yan

多少同林鳥    已成了分飛燕

Duo shao tong lin niao, yi cheng le fen fei yan

人生何其短    何必苦苦戀

Ren sheng he qi duan, he bi ku ku lian

愛人不見了    向誰去喊冤

Ai ren bu jian liao, xiang shei qu han yuan


CHORUS




Song of Ordinary Humans


You and I are ordinary humans, born into the human world
Death is approaching fast, [we] cannot afford a moment's slack
[We're] not gods after all, it's hard not to have a troubled mind
Morality and Justice put on the two sides, the Profit character displayed in the middle

How many good gentlemen, strive hard for the sake of beautiful women?
How many birds of the same forest, have become swallows flying separate ways?
Man's lifespan is short, what's the need of suffering for love?
When one's lover is gone, whom can [he] complain to?

CHORUS:
Let me ask you, when have you ever seen
This world changing for the sake of humans?
Just with a face expression of constant yearning
Is that considered as possessing springtime*?

You and I are ordinary humans, born into the human world
Death is approaching fast, [we] cannot afford a moment's slack
You're not a god after all, it's hard not to have a troubled mind
Morality and Justice put on the two sides, the Profit character displayed in the middle

How many good gentlemen, strive hard for the sake of beautiful women?
How many birds of the same forest, have already become swallows flying separate ways?
Man's lifespan is short, what's the need of suffering for love?
When one's lover is gone, whom can [he] complain to?

CHORUS



Notes:

* Springtime as a metaphor for happiness, as I interpret it. It basically questions the need of yearning for things in order to achieve happiness.

This song is martial-arts themed (think Chinese kungfu series) hence the references to mortals and immortals.
Some references are taken from Ting Dong (compare with their interpretation here).
