郑秀文 - 插曲 (Sammi Cheng

作词 (Lyrics): 因葵

作曲 (Composer): C.Y Kong

如果满足如可满足如若要催毁我眉目

jyu4 gwo2 mun5 zuk1 jyu4 ho2 mun5 zuk1 jyu4 joek6 jiu3 ceoi1 wai2 ngo5 mei4 muk6

If satisfaction is possible, if it can be fulfilled, if it aims to destroy my expression

而我极痛而你未痛但实际只当是节目

ji4 ngo5 gik6 tung3 ji4 nei5 mei6 tung3 daan6 sat6 zai3 zi2 dong1 si6 zit3 muk6

While I feel extreme pain, you don't feel it, but in reality, it's just a performance

如果我哭如真要哭难道要开口说屈服

jyu4 gwo2 ngo5 huk1 jyu4 zan1 jiu3 huk1 naan4 dou6 jiu3 hoi1 hau2 syut3 wat1 fuk6

If I cry, if I really need to cry, should I speak up to admit defeat?

纯粹动作未料有风是否因此拼命歪曲

seon4 seoi6 dung6 zok3 mei6 liu2 jau5 fung1 si6 fau2 jan1 ci2 ping1 ming6 waai1 kuk1

Just a mere action, I didn't expect the wind, is this why it gets twisted?

I wanna fly I wanna cry 愈去隐藏愈要破坏

I wanna fly I wanna cry jyu6 heoi3 jan2 cong4 jyu6 jiu3 po3 waai6

I wanna fly, I wanna cry, the more I hide, the more it gets destroyed

如我愉快完美状态才令你存敌意破坏

jyu4 ngo5 jyu4 faai3 jyun4 mei5 zong6 taai3 coi4 ling6 nei5 cyun4 dik6 ji3 po3 waai6

If I'm happy, in a perfect state, it only makes you hostile and want to destroy

如果了解心中不快问你可曾为我伟大

jyu4 gwo2 liu5 gaai2 sam1 zung1 bat1 faai3 man6 nei5 ho2 cang4 wai4 ngo5 wai5 daai6

If you understand the unhappiness in my heart, have you ever considered me great?

人太倦了请你谅解求能让我此后愉快

jan4 taai3 gyun6 liu5 cing2 nei5 loeng6 gaai2 kau4 nang4 joeng6 ngo5 ci2 hau6 jyu4 faai3

People are too tired, please understand, let me be happy from now on

明知揭盅仍加插曲还未算真的最残酷

ming4 zi1 kit3 zung1 jing4 gaa1 caap3 kuk1 waan4 mei6 syun3 zan1 dik1 zeoi3 caan4 huk6

Knowing the truth is revealed, but adding an interlude, it’s still not the cruelest

如继续痛求再别碰事实你早已下了毒

jyu4 gai3 zuk6 tung3 kau4 zoi3 bit6 pung3 si6 sat6 nei5 zou2 ji5 haa6 liu5 duk6

If the pain continues, please don’t touch again, you've long poisoned the truth

离开退缩澄清接触谁料你一早已辑录

lei4 hoi1 teoi3 suk1 cing4 cing1 zip3 zuk1 seoi4 liu2 nei5 jat1 zou2 ji5 cap1 luk6

Retreat and clarify contact, but who knew you had already recorded everything

寻我脉膊为什快速未知这是致命插曲

cam4 ngo5 mak6 bok3 wai4 sam6 faai3 cuk1 mei6 zi1 ze5 si6 zi3 ming6 caap3 kuk1

Searching my pulse, why is it so fast? Unaware that this is a deadly interlude

谁人愿痛完又痛再追逐公演过目

seoi4 jan4 jyun6 tung3 jyun4 jau6 tung3 zoi3 zeoi1 zuk6 gung1 jin2 gwo3 muk6

Who would want to suffer again and again, chasing after a performance, a mere glance?

谁人又注意我不快来回场合总要被曲解

seoi4 jan4 jau6 zyu3 ji3 ngo5 bat1 faai3 loi4 wui4 coeng4 hap6 zung2 jiu3 bei6 kuk1 gaai2

Who notices my unhappiness? In every situation, I’m always misunderstood

I wanna fly I wanna cry 愈去隐藏愈要破坏

I wanna fly I wanna cry jyu6 heoi3 jan2 cong4 jyu6 jiu3 po3 waai6

I wanna fly, I wanna cry, the more I hide, the more it gets destroyed

如我愉快完美状态才令你存敌意破坏

jyu4 ngo5 jyu4 faai3 jyun4 mei5 zong6 taai3 coi4 ling6 nei5 cyun4 dik6 ji3 po3 waai6

If I'm happy, in a perfect state, it only makes you hostile and want to destroy

如果了解心中不快问你可曾为我伟大

jyu4 gwo2 liu5 gaai2 sam1 zung1 bat1 faai3 man6 nei5 ho2 cang4 wai4 ngo5 wai5 daai6

If you understand the unhappiness in my heart, have you ever considered me great?

人太倦了请你谅解求能让我此后愉快

jan4 taai3 gyun6 liu5 cing2 nei5 loeng6 gaai2 kau4 nang4 joeng6 ngo5 ci2 hau6 jyu4 faai3

People are too tired, please understand, let me be happy from now on

I wanna fly I wanna cry 愈去隐藏愈要破坏

I wanna fly I wanna cry jyu6 heoi3 jan2 cong4 jyu6 jiu3 po3 waai6

I wanna fly, I wanna cry, the more I hide, the more it gets destroyed

如我愉快完美状态才令你存敌意破坏

jyu4 ngo5 jyu4 faai3 jyun4 mei5 zong6 taai3 coi4 ling6 nei5 cyun4 dik6 ji3 po3 waai6

If I'm happy, in a perfect state, it only makes you hostile and want to destroy

如果了解心中不快问你可曾为我伟大

jyu4 gwo2 liu5 gaai2 sam1 zung1 bat1 faai3 man6 nei5 ho2 cang4 wai4 ngo5 wai5 daai6

If you understand the unhappiness in my heart, have you ever considered me great?

人太倦了请你谅解求能让我此后愉快

jan4 taai3 gyun6 liu5 cing2 nei5 loeng6 gaai2 kau4 nang4 joeng6 ngo5 ci2 hau6 jyu4 faai3

People are too tired, please understand, let me be happy from now on

Song Interpretation

Short Summary

"插曲" by Sammi Cheng explores the emotional struggle of unspoken pain and the complexities of love and relationships. The lyrics reflect the internal conflict between hiding one's feelings and the destructive impact of suppressing emotions.

Detailed Insights

The song captures the duality of emotional experiences, expressing both the desire to escape and the burden of unacknowledged suffering. The recurring lines "I wanna fly, I wanna cry, the more I hide, the more it gets destroyed" emphasize the destructive cycle of keeping emotions hidden. Sammi Cheng sings about the complexity of interactions where even happiness can be misconstrued as a threat to others. This struggle between vulnerability and self-protection is poignantly illustrated in the lyrics, such as when the protagonist reflects on how their happiness leads others to act with hostility.

The lyrics also touch on the theme of emotional exhaustion and the yearning for peace. The line "People are too tired, please understand, let me be happy from now on" signals a plea for empathy and a desire for emotional relief. The interlude, a metaphor for a brief pause in the emotional turmoil, hints at the deeper, unresolved issues that continue to affect the protagonist. The song ultimately portrays a journey of trying to reconcile inner pain with the external expectations of others, offering listeners a raw and relatable portrayal of emotional vulnerability.
