Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

香港啲飛仔打劫好新潮
下下都出啲怪招
出親街金錶火鑽好招搖
最怕有咁啱得咁橋

你實在要請保鑣 諸君咪話無聊
若係有咗保鑣 你會無哂騷擾
一枝公煲煙睇戲好他條
會有把刀仔插腰
書院女青春可愛好嬌嬈
抨佢上車一於照標

你實在要請保鑣 諸君咪話無聊
若係有咗保鑣 你會無哂騷擾

古裝片都講啲保鑣
四處押貨戰血染山腰
替顧客消災 威名遠耀

家陣啲摩登保鑣
個個搏殺對你更關照
你要坐穩轎 請番個摩登保鑣

你實在要請保鑣 諸君咪話無聊
若係有咗保鑣 你會無哂騷擾

古裝片都講啲保鑣
四處押貨戰血染山腰
替顧客消災 威名遠耀

家陣啲摩登保鑣
個個搏殺對你更關照
你要坐穩轎 請返個摩登保鑣

香港啲飛仔打劫好新潮
下下都出啲怪招
出親街金錶火鑽好招搖
最怕有咁啱得咁橋

你實在要請保鑣 諸君咪話無聊
若係有咗保鑣 你會無哂騷擾

摩登保鑣 無哂騷擾




摩登保鑣 無哂騷擾
摩登保鑣

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "摩登保鑣" by 許冠傑 (Sam Hui) talk about the importance of having a personal bodyguard or "保鑣" in Hong Kong, where the "flies" or "飛仔" (thieves) are always coming up with new and strange ways to rob people. The song talks about the various situations where having a bodyguard would be helpful, such as when watching a movie and someone pulls out a knife, when a group of girls are being harassed, or when riding in a luxurious car. The chorus emphasizes the importance of having a "摩登保鑣" or a modern bodyguard, who will not only protect you but also look out for you.


The lyrics also make references to Hong Kong culture, such as the popularity of smoking opium in a "公煲" (public opium den) and the traditional Chinese attire worn in historical dramas. The song paints a picture of a dangerous and chaotic Hong Kong in need of protection, while also highlighting the glamor and prestige that come with having a bodyguard.


Overall, "摩登保鑣" is a commentary on the turbulent times of Hong Kong in the 70s and the importance of having someone to rely on in times of uncertainty.

作曲:许冠杰 原词:许冠杰 黎彼得

歌词:

大马的小贼偷窃很卑鄙
招招皆心根手辣
出门千万别戴住劳力表
不然迟早遭到打抢
我真的要请保镖 不是闹着玩的
倘若拥有保镖 无需提心吊胆
做这一行最主要是勇敢
常维护周围治安
莫当保安工作看似简单
分分钟会因公殉职
我真的要请保镖 不是闹着玩的
倘若拥有保镖 无需提心吊胆
连乡下 怪案连连发
看来治安 逐渐变差劲
唯共同筹笔钱 买个保障
如今的 摩登保镖
尽心尽力 负责任到底
你想得安全 就须请 摩登保镖

我真的要请保镖 不是闹着玩的
倘若拥有保镖 无需提心吊胆
连乡下 怪案连连发
看来治安 逐渐变差劲
唯共同筹笔钱 买个保障
如今的 摩登保镖
尽心尽力 负责任到底
你想得安全 就须请 摩登保镖
大马的小贼偷窃很卑鄙
招招皆心根手辣
出门千万别戴住劳力表
不然迟早遭到打抢
我真的要请保镖 不是闹着玩的
倘若拥有保镖 无需提心吊胆
无需惊慌 (摩登保镖)
无需惊慌 (摩登保镖)
