忘情水
劉德華 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
行遍千山和萬水 一路走來不能回
驀然回首情已遠 身不由己在天邊
才明白愛恨情仇 最傷最痛是後悔
如果你不曾心碎
你不會懂得我傷悲
就讓我忘了這一切
啊 給我一杯忘情水
換我一夜不流淚
所有真心真意任它雨打風吹
付出的愛收不回
給我一杯忘情水
換我一生不傷悲
就算我會喝醉就算我會心碎
不會看見我流淚
曾經年少愛追夢 一心只想往前飛
行遍千山和萬水 一路走來不能回
驀然回首情已遠 身不由己在天邊
才明白愛恨情仇 最傷最痛是後悔
如果你不曾心碎
你不會懂得我傷悲
當我眼中有淚 別問我是為誰
就讓我忘了這一切
啊 給我一杯忘情水
換我一夜不流淚
所有真心真意任它雨打風吹
付出的愛收不回
給我一杯忘情水
換我一生不傷悲
就算我會喝醉 就算我會心碎
不會看見我流淚
啊 給我一杯忘情水
換我一夜不流淚
所有真心真意任它雨打風吹
付出的愛收不回
給我一杯忘情水
換我一生不傷悲
就算我會喝醉就算我會心碎
不會看見我流淚
就算我會喝醉就算我會心碎
不會看見我~流~淚
The lyrics of "忘情水" (Wàngqíng Shuǐ) portray the emotions of a person who has experienced the ups and downs of life, particularly the pain of love and heartbreak. The first stanza reminisces about the dreamy, young age when one pursued their dreams and wanted to fly forward, but ultimately found themselves unable to change fate as they went through various hardships. The second stanza talks about how one looks back at the past and realizes that love and hatred are the sources of the deepest pain in life. The central message about cherishing the moment and letting go of the past is effectively conveyed through the chorus "Give me a cup of forgetfulness, exchange for a night without tears, all the true feelings let it rain and wind, the love given cannot be taken back."
The song’s composition skillfully blends the Western pop and rock musical style with the Eastern sentiment to create a melody that emotionally resonates with the listener. The lyrics were penned by Lin Xi, a well-known songwriter in the Chinese music industry, who has written many famous songs throughout his long career. Cantopop singer Andy Lau's performances of the song, in both Cantonese and Mandarin, are widely renowned, and the song became his signature work. The song is a staple ballad in karaoke bars and has been covered by many artists in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
