紙船
許冠傑 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

路经海边见只小船
怀人万里心暗酸
异乡的她脑海涌现
如何把相思串

拾起张纸折只小船
徐徐地放于水面
静心闭目许个愿
船儿匆匆飘远
望船实践我这个愿
遥遥长路也不倦
直去到她身边
只求跟她一见
若她终于见只纸船
盘旋梦里千百转
望她珍惜当中意义
齐齐把相思串

拾起张纸折只小船
徐徐地放于水面
静心闭目许个愿
船儿匆匆飘远
望船实践我这个愿
遥遥长路也不倦
直去到她身边
只求跟她一见
若她终于见只纸船
盘旋梦里千百转
望她珍惜当中意义
齐齐把相思串

若她一天见只纸船
盘旋梦里千百转




望她珍惜当中意义
齐齐把相思串

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 許冠傑's song 紙船 (Paper Boat) speak of the pain of distance between two people in love.

The act of making the paper boat and releasing it are symbolic of his longing and his hope that he will one day be reunited with his love.

The central theme of the song is the desire for connection with another person, and the lengths we go to overcome the physical distance between us. It is a timeless message that continues to resonate with listeners today.
