忘掉种过的花 重新的出发 放弃理想吧
mong4 diu6 zung2 gwo3 dik1 faa1 cung4 san1 dik1 ceot1 faat3 fong3 hei3 lei5 soeng2 baa1
Forget the flowers once planted, start anew, give up your ideals
别再看 尘封的喜帖 你正在要搬家
bit6 zoi3 hon3 can4 fung1 dik1 hei2 tip3 nei5 zing3 zoi6 jiu3 bun1 gaa1
Don't look at the dust-covered wedding invitation, you're about to move
筑得起 人应该接受 都有日倒下
zuk1 dak1 hei2 jan4 jing1 goi1 zip3 sau6 dou1 jau5 jat6 dou2 haa6
We can build up, but people must accept that everything will fall one day
其实没有一种安稳快乐 永远也不差
kei4 sat6 mut6 jau5 jat1 zung2 ngon1 wan2 faai3 lok6 wing5 jyun5 jaa5 bat1 caa1
There's no kind of stable happiness that will last forever
就似这一区 曾经称得上 美满甲天下
zau6 ci5 ze5 jat1 keoi1 cang4 ging1 cing1 dak1 soeng5 mei5 mun5 gaap3 tin1 haa6
This neighbourhood was once known for its perfection under the heavens
但霎眼 全街的单位 快要住满乌鸦
daan6 saap3 ngaan5 cyun4 gaai1 dik1 daan1 wai2 faai3 jiu3 zyu6 mun5 wu1 aa1
But in the blink of an eye, the whole street will be filled with crows
好景不会每日常在 天梯不可只往上爬
hou2 ging2 bat1 wui2 mui5 jat6 soeng4 zoi6 tin1 tai1 bat1 ho2 zi2 wong5 soeng5 paa4
Good times don't last every day, and the stairway to heaven isn't always just an upward climb
爱的人 没有一生一世吗 大概不需要害怕
ngoi3 dik1 jan4 mut6 jau5 jat1 saang1 jat1 sai3 maa1 daai6 koi3 bat1 seoi1 jiu3 hoi6 paa3
Is there no such thing as eternal love? Perhaps there's no need to be afraid
忘掉爱过的他
mong4 diu6 ngoi3 gwo3 dik1 taa1
Forget the one you once loved
当初的喜帖金箔印着那位他
dong1 co1 dik1 hei2 tip3 gam1 bok6 jan3 zoek6 naa5 wai2 taa1
Back then, the wedding invitation was printed with gold foil, featuring him
裱起婚纱照那道墙及一切美丽旧年华 明日同步拆下
biu2 hei2 fan1 saa1 ziu3 naa5 dou6 coeng4 kap6 jat1 cai3 mei5 lai6 gau6 nin4 waa4 ming4 jat6 tung4 bou6 caak3 haa6
The wall with the wedding photo and all the beautiful memories of the past will be taken down tomorrow
忘掉有过的家
mong4 diu6 jau5 gwo3 dik1 gaa1
Forget the home you once had
小餐台沙发雪柜及两份红茶
siu2 caan1 toi4 saa1 faat3 syut3 gwai6 kap6 loeng5 fan6 hung4 caa4
The small dining table, sofa, fridge, and two cups of black tea
温馨的光境不过借出到期拿回吗
wan1 hing1 dik1 gwong1 ging2 bat1 gwo3 ze3 ceot1 dou3 kei4 naa4 wui4 maa1
Was the warmth of this light only borrowed and will it be taken back when it's due?
等不到下一代 是吗
dang2 bat1 dou3 haa6 jat1 doi6 si6 maa1
We won't wait for the next generation, right?
忘掉砌过的沙 回忆的堡垒 刹那已倒下
mong4 diu6 cai3 gwo3 dik1 saa1 wui4 jik1 dik1 bou2 leoi5 saat3 naa5 ji5 dou2 haa6
Forget the sandcastles you built, the fortress of memories has already crumbled in an instant
面对这 坟起的荒土 你注定学会潇洒
min6 deoi3 ze5 fan4 hei2 dik1 fong1 tou2 nei5 zyu3 ding6 hok6 wui2 siu1 saa2
Facing this barren land rising from the grave, you're destined to learn how to be carefree
阶砖不会拒绝磨蚀 窗花不可幽禁落霞
gaai1 zyun1 bat1 wui2 keoi5 zyut6 mo4 sik6 coeng1 faa1 bat1 ho2 jau1 gam3 lok6 haa4
The bricks won't resist erosion, and the window flowers can't imprison the sunset glow
有感情 就会一生一世吗
jau5 gam2 cing4 zau6 wui2 jat1 saang1 jat1 sai3 maa1
If there's love, does it last for a lifetime?
又再惋惜有用吗
jau6 zoi3 jyun2 sik1 jau5 jung6 maa1
Is it useful to regret again?
忘掉爱过的他
mong4 diu6 ngoi3 gwo3 dik1 taa1
Forget the one you once loved
当初的喜帖金箔印着那位他
dong1 co1 dik1 hei2 tip3 gam1 bok6 jan3 zoek6 naa5 wai2 taa1
Back then, the wedding invitation was printed with gold foil, featuring him
裱起婚纱照那道墙及一切美丽旧年华 明日同步拆下
biu2 hei2 fan1 saa1 ziu3 naa5 dou6 coeng4 kap6 jat1 cai3 mei5 lai6 gau6 nin4 waa4 ming4 jat6 tung4 bou6 caak3 haa6
The wall with the wedding photo and all the beautiful memories of the past will be taken down tomorrow
忘掉有过的家
mong4 diu6 jau5 gwo3 dik1 gaa1
Forget the home you once had
小餐台沙发雪柜及两份红茶
siu2 caan1 toi4 saa1 faat3 syut3 gwai6 kap6 loeng5 fan6 hung4 caa4
The small dining table, sofa, fridge, and two cups of black tea
温馨的光境不过借出到期拿回吗
wan1 hing1 dik1 gwong1 ging2 bat1 gwo3 ze3 ceot1 dou3 kei4 naa4 wui4 maa1
Was the warmth of this light only borrowed and will it be taken back when it's due?
终须会时辰到 别怕
zung1 seoi1 wui5 si4 san4 dou3 bit6 paa3
Eventually, the time will come, don't be afraid
请放下手里那锁匙 好吗
cing2 fong3 haa6 sau2 leoi5 naa5 so2 si4 hou2 maa1
Please put down the key in your hand, alright?
Song Interpretation
Short Summary
"Wedding Invitation Street" by Kay Tse reflects on the transient nature of life, love, and memories, exploring themes of letting go and accepting change.
Detailed Insights
The lyrics poignantly address the impermanence of happiness and relationships. The song begins with the narrator urging to forget past dreams and ideals, emphasizing that nothing remains stable forever. The recurring image of the wedding invitation represents an idealized past, which eventually fades as the physical and emotional structures we build inevitably collapse.
The metaphor of a neighborhood once known for its perfection, now deteriorating, aligns with the theme of inevitable change. Love and memories, too, are depicted as fleeting, and the chorus echoes the challenge of moving on from a past relationship. Ultimately, the song urges acceptance of change, the passage of time, and the emotional freedom that comes from letting go, even when the past still holds sentimental value.
