发现了白 渗入黑的瞬间
faat3 jin6 liu5 baak6 sam3 jap6 hak1 dik1 seon3 gaan1
Discovered white infiltrating black in an instant

那份震撼 迟迟无法习惯

That shock, unable to get used to it for a long time

讲好的 浪漫一番
gong2 hou2 dik1 long6 maan6 jat1 faan1
The promised romance

拖一拖 残余半晚
to1 jat1 to1 caan4 jyu4 bun3 maan5
Dragging on, remaining half night

黑发被 拦途截劫 不会再奉还
hak1 faat3 bei6 laan4 tou4 zit6 gip3 bat1 wui2 zoi3 fung6 waan4
Black hair intercepted on the way, will not return

和你那晚夜

With you that night

假使通宵出去玩

Suppose we went out all night

会吻过吧 床前谈笑达旦
wui2 man5 gwo3 baa1 cong4 cin4 taam4 siu3 daat6 daan3
Would we kiss, talk and laugh until dawn

可惜当夜未敢贪

Unfortunately, that night we didn't dare to be greedy

今天不能挨很晚

Today can't stay up late

想约会 然而力气 未可支撑

Want to date, but strength can't support

不去 谈场禁恋 不甘心 就此变老
bat1 heoi3 taam4 coeng4 gam3 lyun2 bat1 gam1 sam1 zau6 ci2 bin3 lou5
Not going to talk about forbidden love, not willing to just grow old

要在 大除夕中 将你抱紧 狠狠倒数
jiu3 zoi6 daai6 ceoi4 zik6 zung1 zoeng3 nei5 pou5 gan2 han2 han2 dou2 sou3
Want to hold you tight on New Year's Eve and count down fiercely

返老还童 去找 赤子心 为你倾倒
faan2 lou5 waan4 tung4 heoi3 zaau2 cek3 zi2 sam1 wai4 nei5 king1 dou2
Rejuvenate and find a child's heart to fall for you

当初只欠那一步
dong1 co1 zi2 him3 naa5 jat1 bou6
At the beginning, only one step was missing

今天不做就变老
gam1 tin1 bat1 zou6 zau6 bin3 lou5
If not done today, we'll grow old

不要在 弥留夜里 先去抱抱
bat1 jiu3 zoi6 mei4 lau4 je6 leoi5 sin1 heoi3 pou5 pou5
Don't wait until the last night to hold each other

听说皱纹 非一刀刀刻满身
ting3 syut3 zau3 man4 fei1 jat1 dou1 dou1 hak1 mun5 san1
Heard that wrinkles are not engraved all at once

刹那降临 犹如群发地震
saat3 naa5 gong3 lam4 jau4 jyu4 kwan4 faat3 dei6 zan3
Suddenly arriving like a massive earthquake

苦修的 万毒不侵
fu2 sau1 dik1 maan6 duk6 bat1 cam1
Endured hardships, immune to thousands of poisons

抓紧的 犹存风韵
zaa1 gan2 dik1 jau4 cyun4 fung1 wan5
Holding tightly, still charming

一夜 全盘叛变 没有等人
jat1 je6 cyun4 pun4 bun6 bin3 mut6 jau5 dang2 jan4
One night, complete rebellion, without waiting for anyone

不去 谈场禁恋 不甘心 就此变老

Not going to talk about forbidden love, not willing to just grow old

Don't wait until the last night to hold each other

不教旁人发指 不甘心就此变老
bat1 gaau3 pong4 jan4 faat3 zi2 bat1 gam1 sam1 zau6 ci2 bin3 lou5
Don't let others criticize, not willing to just grow old

背着 路人目光 跟你吻多一刻也好
bui3 zoek6 lou6 jan4 muk6 gwong1 gan1 nei5 man5 do1 jat1 hak1 jaa5 hou2
Carrying the gaze of passersby, kissing you for one more moment is also good

精致 皮囊发肤 见少一面 已不保
zing1 zi3 pei4 nong4 faat3 fu1 gin3 siu2 jat1 min6 ji5 bat1 bou2
Delicate skin and flesh, seeing one less face is already not preserved

刚刚出发已抵步
gong1 gong1 ceot1 faat3 ji5 dai2 bou6
Just started and already arrived

青春一夜就变老
cing1 ceon1 jat1 je6 zau6 bin3 lou5
Youth turns old overnight

不要待 荼蘼谢了 先约跳舞
bat1 jiu3 doi6 tou4 mei4 ze6 liu5 sin1 joek3 tiu3 mou5
Don't wait until the flowers wither to invite for a dance

Song Interpretation

Short Summary

This song, "青春告别式" (The Last Mad Surge of Youth), by 张敬轩 (Hins Cheung), explores the bittersweet transition from youth to adulthood. It captures the longing for youthful freedom, the fear of growing old, and the fleeting moments of passion and spontaneity.

Detailed Insights

The lyrics reflect a yearning for the reckless abandon of youth, contrasting it with the realization that time is passing by. The phrase "青春一夜就变老" (Youth turns old overnight) encapsulates the fleeting nature of youth and the inevitability of growing older. The singer regrets not fully embracing moments of passion, as seen in lines like "今天不能挨很晚" (Today can't stay up late), symbolizing the limitations that come with age.

The theme of love is intertwined with the fear of aging and losing the vitality that once allowed for carefree moments, such as late-night escapades or spontaneous kisses. The narrator wishes to seize the remaining time, even if it means breaking societal norms, as shown in lines like "背着 路人目光 跟你吻多一刻也好" (Carrying the gaze of passersby, kissing you for one more moment is also good). The song ultimately portrays the desire to hold on to fleeting youth and love before it fades into memory.
