不見不散
譚詠麟 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

古老的建築已一一的遷拆 戲院 林立
街裡轉角多了一個不速客 冥想中 給驚嚇
磚 那方格經過風雨的洗擦 這刻變得平滑
心裡思憶經過光陰沖擦 更覺深刻天天積壓
當每一次想妳都會疑惑 愛已永遠得不到解答
當每一次牽掛仿似明白 在人海知心終需分隔
茫茫路多麼遠 遙遙望 重逢又似極渺茫
可知妳最 難忘 情境最 難忘

街裡少了車輛兜圈穿插 已經 晚黑
燈柱刻上今晚不見終不散 到了今天 都可察
所有的愛都已給妳心抵押 那天妳可明白
想到當晚的妳給我的手帕 永遠深刻 傷心不擦
當每一次想妳都會疑惑 愛已永遠得不到解答
當每一次牽掛仿似明白 在人海知心終需分隔




茫茫路多麼遠 遙遙望 重逢又似極渺茫
可知妳最 難忘 情境最 難忘

Overall Meaning

The song 不見不散 (literally “Not seeing each other until we part”) by 譚詠麟 (Alan Tam) is a sentimental ballad that reflects on the passing of time, the impermanence of things, and the endurance of love. The lyrics start by describing the changes that have occurred in the city, with old buildings being demolished and replaced by movie theaters, and the feeling of unease that creeps in when one is lost in thought. The image of bricks being weathered by time is used to convey the idea that memories too can become deeper and more polished with the passage of time.


As the song progresses, the singer reminisces about a lost love, and how every time he thinks of her he is plagued by doubts and unanswered questions about their relationship. The repeated refrain “Range rover, don’t leave until we part” emphasizes the longing for a reunion, but also the sense that it may never happen. The line “all my love I’ve already pawned in your heart” suggests the depth of his feelings for the person he is singing to, and the realization that those feelings may never be returned.


The overall mood of the song is one of wistful contemplation, accentuated by the slow and melancholic melody, and the use of traditional Chinese instruments. The themes of lost time and lost love are universal, and the song has resonated with audiences both in China and abroad.

Do you still remember who you said 不見不散 to? It always reminds me of this song.

I have a crush on someone I’ve only meet 6x, each lasted less than 5 min. During this time, Alan Tam playlist was recommended and i heard this song. It was very surprise because I heard this when I was little, I didn’t know the meaning. I just love the melody. On the latest visit, I managed to be alone . Why he didn’t come to talk to me privately 🥺?
Why I don’t have the courage to talk to him 🥺🥺?
I will meet him again end of this year and that should be the last😢
