天才白痴夢
許冠傑 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

人皆尋夢 夢裡不分西東
片刻春風得意 未知景物矇矓

人生如夢 夢裡輾轉吉凶
尋樂不堪苦困 未識苦與樂同

天造之才 皆有其用
振翅高飛 無須在夢中

南柯長夢 夢去不知所蹤
醉翁他朝醒覺 是否跨鳳乘龍

天造之才 皆有其用
振翅高飛 無須在夢中

何必尋夢 夢裡甘苦皆空
勸君珍惜此際 自當欣慰無窮





何必尋夢

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 許冠傑's song 天才白痴夢 reflect on the nature of dreams and the pursuit of happiness. The first two lines suggest that people search for dreams without knowing where they will take them. Dreams have a powerful effect on people and often blur the line between reality and imagination. In this state, one might feel temporarily satisfied with the "spring breeze," without understanding the true nature of reality.


The third and fourth lines reflect on life itself as a dream, with all its ups and downs. The pursuit of happiness can be a difficult journey, with its own set of struggles and hardships. However, people often fail to recognize that pain and pleasure can coexist within the same experience. The fifth and sixth lines allude to the notion that everyone has a talent, and it is up to them to find a way to use it to achieve their goals.


The last two stanzas continue the theme of the value of talent, but also touch on the transience of dreams. The singer compares dreams to the mythological stories of Nanke's long dream and the drunken master's possible transformation. Dreams, though they may offer temporary satisfaction, can also be fleeting and uncertain. The final line advocates for valuing the present moment, rather than constantly searching for something else.

人皆寻梦 梦里不分西东
片刻春风得意 未知景物朦胧
人生如梦 梦里辗转吉凶
寻乐不堪苦困 未识苦与乐同
天造之材 皆有其用
振翅高飞 无须在梦中
南柯长梦 梦去不知所踪
醉翁他朝醒觉 是否跨凤乘龙

樓頂與樓下的風景 永遠不同 誰也別羨慕誰

人前與人後的嘴臉 各自迥異 誰也別揶揄誰

淺酌又狂飲 酒逢知己

呼呼大睡之餘

萬丈紅塵三杯酒
千秋大業一壺茶

人生 幾度秋涼

香港從前的歌很寫實亦很貼地,放在現時聽其詞也很有意思,小時候聽到這首歌不知其意,人大後聽才了解,人生無非是一個過程,幾十年很快就過,有些事也不必太過刻求,放下自在知足常樂,雖然不易做到但至少能無愧於心。
