Lyrics and Translation
呢個係真實既犯罪 如果你踏上呢條不歸之路 咁你就咪駛旨意行返出去
Ne ge xi zhenshi ji fanzui ruguo ni tashang ne tiao bu gui zhi lu gan ni jiu mi shi zh yi xin fan chu qu
I am talking about crimes in reality. If you step on this road of no return, it’s impossible for you to go back.
自出娘胎就曉用思維掩蓋住悲哀去搧動一班弱智到無知既勞苦大眾
Zi chu niangtai jiu xiao yong siwei yan gai zhu bei'ai qu shandong yi ban ruozhi dao wuzhi ji laoku dazhong。
Ever since born, I used logic to hide my sorrow and abet a bunch of idiots, and ignorant but hardworking people (to crimes).
一切出沖既行為不會被接受 因為共用代號叫做三合會兄弟
yiqie chu chong ji xingwei buhui bei jieshou yinwei gongyong daihao jiaozuo Sanhe hua Xiondi
All the unethical behaviors (to the gang) will not be allowed since their common name is known as Triad Brothers.
兄弟之間相稱老死 上刀山落油鑊 一班義氣既綁匪 用自己既生命去維持幫派穩定 刀光劍影既情形 每晚出現既情景
Xiōondi zhijian xiangchen lao si shang dao shan luo you huo yi banyì qi jì bang fei yong ziji jì shengming qu wei chi bang pai wendi dao guang-jian ying jì qing xing mei wan chu xian jì qing jing
Brothers take care of each other no matter going though fire or water. A group of loyal bandits scarify their lives to keep the gang vital. Killing with swords and knifes, it happens every night.
但從沒後悔 黑白通殺既體會 人生本來係遊戲 無必要玩得太攰
Dan cong mei hou hui hei bai tong sha ji ti hui ren sheng ben lai xi you xì wu bìyao wan de tai gui
But (I) feel no regrets for swiping out both good guys and bad ones, since life is just a game which is not meant to be too tiresome.
有義氣知己相伴 加上威士忌 旁人既自卑與苦悶 都係佢自己攞黎
You yiqi zhiji xiangban jiashan weishiji pangren ji zibei yu kumen dou xi qu ziji luo li
Having loyal brothers to accompany with, enjoying Whiskey, watching others suffering, they all come from my own hands.
擁有錢銀與女人 無人敢對望眼神 所有既名利其實都只係浮雲
yongyou qian yin yu nuren wuren gan duiwang yanshen suoyou ji mingli qishi dou zhi xi fuyun
Owning money and pussy, having no one dare to see me directly in the eye, I feel all the fame and wealth are just fleeting clouds.
凌駕於世人既方式 唔跟住旁人既足跡 係混亂世界生存既公式
lingjia wu shiren ji fangshi wu gen zhu pangren ji zuji xi hunluan shijie shengcun ji gonshi
Ruling over others, and not following their footsteps, are the formulas of surviving in this messy world.
唱：夜空浮星 還是孤身隻影 烈酒 落口 令我翻滚血液
yekong fu xing haishi gushenzhiying liejiu luo kou ling wo fangun xueyen
The lady singing：Nightly sky, flying stars, and I am still lonely with my shadow. Stiff drinks make my blood boiling.
南北長街 野獸般的眼睛 拳風無眼 請我拼死一戰
nanbeichang jie yeshou ban de yanjing quan feng wu yan qing wo pinsi yi zhan.
Long streets throughout with bestial eyes, fists of rage (are waiting for me). Please let me fight till death.
黑幫既力量係地下面醞釀 做臥底要潛入唔可以咁張揚
heibang ji liliang xi dixia mian yunniang zuo wodi yao qianru wu keyi gan zhangyang
Triad’s strength is growing underground. Being a undercover to infiltrate, one must stay low-key.
我接近賭博毒品女人殺生 染上毒癮得太狠 我係個罪人
wo jiejin dubo dupin nuren shasheng ranshang duyin de。tai hen wo xi ge zuiren
I got involved with gambling, prostitution, drugs and killing. I did drugs so bad that I couldn’t get it off. I became a criminal myself.
所有既女人都可以同我同床共寢 但我不能愛上佢地每一個人
souyou ji nuren dou keyi tong wo tong chuang gong qin dan wo buneng aishang qu di meiyi geren
All the women could sleep with me but I couldn’t love each of them.
仇恨 罪行 鮮血染滿我雙手 哭成淚人 再拘禁我想走
chouhenzuixing cianxue ran man wo shuangshiu ku cheng lei ren zai jujin wo xiang zou
Hatred, sins and the blood stained my hands, I cant' stop crying, after being arrested. How I wished I could be free.
邊個想成為下一個槍下亡魂 邊個會愛上我呢個神經病人
bian ge xiang chenqei xiayige qiang xia wanghu bian ge huiaisang wo ne ge shenjinbing ren
Who wants to become the next dead guy under a gun? Who will love a psychopath like me?
邊個叫做正義 邊個戰無不勝 太混亂 根本無邊個分得清
bian ge jaizuo zhengyi bian ge zhanwubusheng tai hunlai genben wubian ge fen de qing
What is justice? Who always wins? It’s so complex that no one can tell.
一隻腳係監獄 一隻腳係地獄 亡命既旋律奏起 太多起伏
yi xhi jiao xi jianyu yi zhi jiao xi diyu wangming ji xuanlu zou qi tai duo qifu
One of my feet is in the prison cell and the other is in the hell. The rhythm of death starts playing well.
踏上江湖 落賭注 你輸左幾局
tashang jianghu luo duzhu ni zuo ji ju
Stepping into the underworld and making bets, how many times can you lose?
由悲曲獨奏到最後既結局
bei qu duzou dao zuihou ji jieju
Starting from a tragedy and going right to the hell, it’s a game you can’t win.
唱：夜空浮星 還是孤身隻影 烈酒 落口 令我翻滚血液
yekong fu xing haishi gushenzhiying liejiu luo kou ling wo fangun xueye
The lady singing：Nightly sky, flying stars, and I am still lonely with my shadow. Stiff drinks make my blood boiling.
南北長街 野獸般的眼睛 拳風無眼 請我拼死一戰
nanbeichang jie yezhou ban de yanjing quan feng wu yan qing wo pinsi yi zhan
Long streets throughout with bestial eyes, fists of rage (are waiting for me). Please let me fight till death.
