taigunjeung Posted December 2, 2009 at 11:22 AM Report Posted December 2, 2009 at 11:22 AM Hi, here's a quick translation of an old Cantonese song. Any suggestions/corrections are welcome. I haven't done alot of translating, so there is quite a big feeling of "Chinglish" in this that I can't quit. Hope you enjoy. Thanks again to nooblin 仓卒岁月，世事如棋， 每局都光怪陆离 Quickly pass the time and seasons, life is like a game of chess; each and every game is strange and unusual 骤晴骤雨人事天天变，有喜亦有悲 Whether sudden cloudburst or sunshine the affairs of human life change everyday, both happy and sad 恩怨爱恨，世事如棋，每局都充满传奇 A mix of gratitude and resentment, love and hate, life is like a game of chess; each and every game is full of romance and legend 若颦若笑难辨心中意，似比幕前做戏 Whether frowning or smiling it is hard to distinguish the feelings inside the heart; it is like acting out a play in front of a curtain 苦衷抛万里，今天庆幸有知己 Throw away those troubles we are reluctant to discuss; today we rejoice for having close friends/soulmates 捉番盘棋共行乐，冲破内心藩篱 By recapturing the chess piece everyone becomes merry, and thus breaking down the barriers inside one's heart 张眼远望，世事如棋，每局应观察入微 Looking far into the distance, life is like a game of chess; each game we should observe/study the little details 但求共你棋艺相比较，了解做人道理 However I beseech you all to compare your chess skill amongst yourselves to understand the principles of being human.
