Windmill Grass Theatre's Lazy People Series
Parting is Never Easy
Original Lyrics
Excité Avant la Naissance
Playwright: Melody YUEN
跳繩太高危 Jumping ropes? Too dangerous
樓梯太多層 Climbing stairs? Too many flights
鉸剪無謂掂 Scissors? Don’t think about touching it
搬屋冇可能Moving? That’s impossible
凍飲戒一年 Iced drinks? Cut them off for a year
魚生冇得食 Sashimi? Not yours to eat
雪糕無謂掂 Ice cream? Keep your mind off it
西瓜好抌咗佢 Watermelon? Better throw it away
我個肚太大個 My belly is so huge
你怕我會做錯 You fear I might do wrong
乜都no no得多 Everything I do, you say no
周身郁 sor9囉 (Not) sorry for moving around
個世界咁大個 The world is so big
我有我搏命錯 What’s wrong with giving it my all
好想佢一出世 I wish my baby can say this one sentence
即刻會講一句 As soon as they are born
What the fuck

Baby (In)dependent Class
Playwright: Kelly CHAN
一轉頭 把我遺下了 In a blink of an eye, you have left me behind
一轉頭 經已離去了 In a blink of an eye, you have left me
一個人 在暗處仍渴想 I’m all alone in the darkness
你在細心照料 Longing for your tender care
大叫媽媽媽媽最尾都走了 I yelled “Mom! Mom!” so loud, but she left eventually
大概美滿也不過童謠 I guess happily ever after only exists in fairytales
話過不分開太飄渺 And the promise of never parting was just a myth
大叫媽媽媽媽叫到鬆手了 I yelled “Mom! Mom!” so loud, but she let go of my hand eventually
萬句再見撐不過人潮 Thousands of goodbyes are lost in the crowd
直到過百歲也只想叫 Even when I’m 100 years old, I’ll still want to call out to you

Bedtime Stories
Playwright: Luna SHAW
回家的路有多遠我不知道 How far is the road home? I don’t know
但我決心踏上這旅途 But I’m determined to go on this journey
恐懼籠罩著面前去路 Fear shroud’s the road ahead
為了折返 我見路就行路 But I’ll take it one step at a time to head back
終於看到吧 在面前的家 I can finally see it, my home is right ahead
情緒刺骨 無從說話 The emotions leave me speechless
那桌子靠在旁 那照片已泛黃 The desk by the door, the photographs yellowed with age
只求讓我 一刻探望 Oh I wish I could look back once more
此刻有點累 但願能進睡 I’m feeling a little tired, I hope I can fall asleep
在我被窩 毫無顧慮 Without any apprehensions, right in my bed
最了解我是床 My bed knows me the best
我會把你淡忘 You’ll fade away from my memory
當圓夢了 不需要快樂 Happiness is not necessary when dreams come true
一個人來到這世界 I came to this world alone
一個人離開這睡床 And now I leave this bed alone
我這樣 也總不算絕望 I guess I’m not as desperate as it seems

Black Cat
Playwright: LEE Chi-tat
其實你爸爸會就此走人 Your father will soon leave your family
遺下你然後你媽媽只剩仇恨 Leaving you behind, filling your mother with hate
沉淪在酒精 She will indulge in alcohol
還 隨便放你在寄養地 太狠 And leave you with a crappy foster family, how awful is that
一天一天打到你大 They will hit you every single day
悲哀中長大 You will grow up in sorrow
苦痛無奈成年後要 綁 領帶 You will suffer in the inevitable pain and become an adult
一天一天工作最大 Your work will take over your life
公司都很壞 Your company will treat you badly
經濟沉寂遺下自殺 想去死的心態 The economy will turn south so bad, you will want to commit suicide
明白我出生帶著的厄運 I understand my birth comes with the worst luck
仍是會妄想推翻缺陷 But I still hope I could turn the table

xxxxxxx is an inseparable part of xxxxxxx
Playwright: Birdy WONG
統統都不去記 They don’t remember anymore
人們根本統統不再記 People don’t remember anymore
世界差 才不理 I don’t care how bad the world is
我卻只皺著眉 I just frown
沉淪痛覺與傷勢 I just indulge in the pain and injury
還記著 我想痛到死 And I keep in mind that I want to suffer the pain to death
不用教 也都不想聽人勸 You don’t have to lecture me, I don’t want to listen to your advice
仍然要抱怨 仍然要計算 I will still wine, I will still count
每點刀割 切損 All the cuts and breakages
不用說 痛都不想聽人勸 You don’t have to say anything, I don’t want your advice on my pain
無求你送暖 無求有結算 I don’t need your warmth, I don’t need your closure
來讓我 苦痛中生存 Let me survive in this pain

The Wake
Playwright: Alfie LEUNG
君 有一無二 You were my one and only
就似我的天使關懷備至 You were caring like my guardian angel
笑臉如詩 善良像幼子 Your smile was warm like a sonnet, you were kind like a child
眉間一抹亦是暖意 A gentle smile brought me warmth
四下找不到措辭 I could not find the appropriate words
述說美好的故事 To tell our beautiful story
唯恨結伴歲月過路有盡時 And I despise how our years together had to come to an end
我會記住你嘅偉大 I will remember your greatness
記住你對個仔嘅關懷 How you cared about our son
記住你頑強去面對住呢個世界 How you fought this world bravely
冇變成怪獸家長咁鬼變態 How you didn’t turn into a monster parent
教佢自由 教佢堅強 令佢冇咁容易變壞 How you taught him freedom, taught him to be tough, taught him not to misbehave
快樂長大 唔怕失敗 You let him grow up happily, you taught him not to be afraid of failure
遇到痛苦我哋全家 攬住一齊去捱 You held the family together when pain tore us apart
好似超人 好似燈神 好過天能 You were like a superman, like a genie
超人！燈神！天能！ A superman! A genie!
我會記住你嘅溫柔 I’ll remember your tenderness
記住你 企喺係我嘅身後 I’ll remember you standing behind me
灰心嘅時候 困難嘅時候 仆街嘅時候 When I was blue, when I was having a hard time, when my life was a piece of shit
有你喺度我就唔會顫抖 I did not shake when you were around
才下眉頭才下枕頭卻上心頭 The feeling left my eyebrows and my pillow but lingered in my heart
你嘅離開 難以承受 Your death was unbearable
你有無條件嘅愛 令我生命大豐收 Your unconditional love filled my life
你療癒咗我嘅所有傷囗 你填滿咗我嘅所有缺口 You healed all my wounds, you filled all my gaps
在這晚上一個顫抖 At this night I shiver alone
人生的分割 我參不透 I can’t understand the partings in life
願有歲月可以回首 I wish I have time to look back
我會記住你嘅所有 I will remember all of you
在這晚上一個顫抖 At this night I shiver alone
人生的分割 我參不透 I can’t understand the partings in life
願有歲月可以回首 I wish I have time to look back
我會記住你嘅所有 I will remember all of you
我會記住你嘅所有 I will remember all of you
願有歲月可以回首 I wish I have time to look back
我會記住你嘅所有 I will remember all of you

Drive Me to the Moon
Playwright: Pearlmi TAM
上了車 永遠不 要停 Get on the car, we’re never stopping
我渴想 但已經 無聲 I long for you, but your voice vanished in the air
時空間 能超脫 I can transcend time and space
留心裡 不怕夢會醒 I’ll keep you in my heart, I’m not afraid of waking from my dreams
Drive me to the moon,
And let me sing for evermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words...
