單車 Bicycle

Eason Chan 陳奕迅

A son tells his undemonstrative father that unspoken love is hard to feel, and holds onto the one embrace they shared: riding together on a bicycle. Wyman Wong drew it from his own childhood; a KTV song many sing thinking of their dads.

ke騎jeuk著daan單che車dik的ngo我leung倆waai懷gan緊tip貼bui背dik的yung擁pou抱the two of us on a bicycle, my chest pressed against your back.

naan難lei離naan難se捨seung想pou抱gan緊se些mong茫mong茫yan人sang生hou好jeung像fong荒ye野So hard to let go, I want to hold on tighter; life feels like a vast wilderness.

yu如haai孩yi兒nang能fuk伏yu於ba爸ba爸dik的gin肩bok膊seui誰yiu要ha下che車If a child can lean on his dad's shoulders, who'd want to get off the bike?

naan難lei離naan難se捨jung總yau有yat一se些seung常ching情yu如chi此bat不ho可teui推se卸There's always some reluctance to let go; that's human nature, you can't deny it.

yam任sai世gaan間joi再laang冷huk酷seung想hei起je這daan單che車waan還yau有hang幸fuk福ho可je借However cold the world gets, thinking of that bike, there's still happiness to borrow.

ging經yi已kap給ngo我jam怎wui會hon看bat不dou到If you'd already given it to me, how could I miss it?
