Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

為兩餐乜都肯制前世 撞正輸曬心翳滯無謂
求望發達一味靠搵丁 鬼馬雙星綽頭勁
亂搏蒙撈偏門確唔曳 做慣監躉經已系成例
求望發達一味靠搵丁 鬼馬雙星眼晾晾
人生如賭博 贏輸都無時定
贏咗得餐笑 輸光唔駛興

做老千梗好搵過皇帝 扮蟹賴野真正系滑稽
求望發達一味靠搵丁 鬼馬雙星怕現形

求望發達一味靠搵丁 鬼馬雙星眼晾晾
人生如賭博 贏輸都無時定
贏咗得餐笑 輸光唔駛興
做老千梗好搵過皇帝 扮蟹賴野真正系滑稽
求望發達一味靠搵丁 鬼馬雙星




鬼馬雙星 鬼馬雙星
唔... 真系有型啊

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "鬼馬雙星" by 許冠傑 (Sam Hui), which is about two friends who have adopted a carefree and cunning attitude towards life. They are willing to do anything to make ends meet, even if it means resorting to illegal activities. The singer emphasizes that luck is a crucial component of life, and sometimes winning or losing depends solely on chance.


The first two lines of the song reflect the main characters' struggles to make a living, as they are willing to do anything to ensure they have enough food to eat. The next two lines suggest that their pursuit of wealth is mostly based on relying on others, not working hard or honestly. The phrase "鬼馬雙星綽頭勁" describes the characters as being clever and sharp-minded, using their wit to navigate life's obstacles. The line "做慣監躉經已系成例" implies that they have become accustomed to their way of life and that their actions are normal to them.


The chorus emphasizes the idea that life is a gamble, and one can never predict whether they will win or lose. The phrase "贏咗得餐笑 輸光唔駛興" suggests that winning only brings temporary happiness, while losing is not so devastating. In the second verse, the focus shifts to the characters' dishonesty, as they are described as con artists who are good at deceiving even the emperor himself. The phrase "怕現形" indicates that the characters are aware of the consequences of their actions and prefer to hide their true selves.

Never get tired of listening to this song.

許氏兄弟對香港貢獻很大,許冠英雖然在歌唱遠不及許冠傑,但在許氏兄弟的電影中卻表现出他幽默和鬼馬的一面,雖是小人物角色,在整套搞笑電影里就不可缺小,無情夜冷風是他的作品,作品不多,經典之作永遠留存於世,在60年代末到70年代中,粤語片和粤語歌都末落,小時候看電影和很多歌都是國語,直到鬼馬雙星,打破香港當時所有上映電影票房纪錄,雙星情歌更皆知巷闻,許氏兄弟再推出半斤八两,摩登保鏢,賣身契,半斤八两歌曲近成為電台連續超過三個月中文歌曲冠軍,因此,粤语電影能反身,許氏兄弟當記一功,廣東歌能發光發亮不單止許冠傑的個人功勞,不可忽略是顧嘉輝和黃霑為無线電視的主题曲,我個人對許冠傑是一個忠心的支持者,他的歌曲作品應該列入成為香港文化寶藏

沒錯說得很好 三兄弟真的是一級棒

小時候的熟悉旋律,原來是這一首。
許冠傑對香港的貢獻,真的無法從數字去具體衡量。

70年代到90年代是香港最辉煌时刻,如今已经一去不复返。

Sam Hui 好犀利, 不愧為廣東歌歌神, 請問版主仲有冇更多Sam Hui 嘅 MTV嗎? 謝謝上載分享。

This song never gets old, it just gets better as the years goes by. I don't see any songs within the last decade to make an impact.
