Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

倉卒歲月 世事如棋
每局都光怪陸離
驟晴驟雨 人事天天變
有喜亦有悲

恩怨愛恨 世事如棋
每局都充滿傳奇
若顰若笑 難辨心中意
似比幕前做戲

苦衷拋萬里
今天慶幸有知己
捉番盤棋共行樂
衝破內心藩籬

張眼遠望 世事如棋
每局應觀察入微
但求共你棋藝相比較
瞭解做人道理

恩怨愛恨 世事如棋
每局都充滿傳奇
若顰若笑 難辨心中意
似比幕前做戲

苦衷拋萬里
今天慶幸有知己
捉番盤棋共行樂
衝破內心藩籬

張眼遠望 世事如棋
每局應觀察入微




但求共你棋藝相比較
瞭解做人道理

初闻不知曲中意,再闻已是曲中人

Good Time

🎤倉卒歲月、世事如棋

🎤每局應观察入微

仲可以……做呢個負責公平公正
法官……地球真的病了
