人生何處不相逢 Where in Life Do We Not Meet

Priscilla Chan 陳慧嫻

Two lives cross briefly and drift apart like waves, with hope of meeting again one day. Written by Lo Ta-yu, it was Priscilla Chan's first number one on all three main Hong Kong charts.

cheui隨long浪cheui隨fung風piu飄dong蕩Drifting with the waves and the wind,

cheui隨jeuk著yat一sang生leui裏dik的long浪carried along by the waves of a lifetime.

nei你ngo我joi在chung重dip疊na那yat一saat剎The moment our paths overlapped,

king頃hak刻gok各joi在yat一fong方in an instant we were each in a different place.

yun緣fan份cheui隨fung風piu飄dong蕩Our fate drifts on the wind;

yun緣jeun盡chi此saang生ya也sau守mong望even when our bond runs out, I'll keep watch all my life.

nei你ngo我joi在chung重mong望na那yat一saat剎The moment we looked at each other again,

sam心jung中yau有leui淚piu飄gong降tears fell inside my heart.
