Happiness

It's clearly evident by now how much I love and admire Sam Hui's talent and songs. I could have watched his video concerts a hundred times. Here's one of his boundless legacies (translated painstakingly for the benefit of my 'kantang' friends):

快樂
作曲 許冠傑
作詞 許冠傑

快樂是陽光普照的清晨
快樂是流水美妙的音韻
快樂其實分分鐘把您等
只要您識 得點去搵

Happiness is the shining ray in the morning
Happiness is the melody of the flowing waters
Happiness is there waiting for you every minute
If only you know how to pick it up

快樂是尋找天際的星辰
快樂是回憶沙灘的足印
快樂其實邊一位都有份
不管您是富或貧

Happiness is finding the cosmic star in the heavens
Happiness is remembering the footprints on the shore
Happiness belongs to everyone
Regardless of whether you are rich or poor

朋友愛
父母恩
每刻溫暖在我心
豁達滿足
仁愛施恩
快樂 便常共您相親

The love of friendships
The sacrifices of parents
Are ever so heartwarming
With gratefulness
I return their love
And happiness shall always be with me

快樂是離開都市的煙塵
快樂是回家往浴缸一侵
快樂是一首好歌嘴裏哼
一張晚報　
一杯香檳

Happiness is forsaking the dust in the city
Happiness is soaking in my bathtub at home
Happiness is humming a good song
Reading a paper
Sipping my champagne

快樂是賢妻給我的精神
快樂是兒子親的一吻
快樂長伴我這一生
皆因我是快樂人

Happiness is the spirit bestowed by my loving wife
Happiness is the kiss on the cheeks by my son
Happiness is always by my side
Coz I am a happy man!
