趁好时光 (While the Time Is Kind) [ H I P H O P A D A P T A T I O N ]

Описание: Inspired by 蝶長’s original ballad 《趁好时光》, this version reimagines the song through a modern hip-hop lens, blending Mandarin poetry with an English rap bridge that captures the heartbeat of time, love, and reflection.

This track bridges East and West, tradition and rebellion, tenderness and grit, turning a timeless Chinese love song into a confession for the modern soul.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1 – Reflection]
真的呀，
Truly, yeah,
快点来吧，亲爱的。
Hurry now, my darling.
有天我老了，
One day I’ll grow old,
像柴刀钝了，
Like a dull blade with no hold,
砍不了柴了。
Can’t cut the wood no more.

真的呀，
Truly, yeah,
快点来吧，亲爱的。
Hurry now, my darling.
有天你老了，
One day you’ll grow old,
有天我老了，
One day I’ll too,
没法相见了。
And we’ll never meet again.

[Verse 2 – Nature and Urgency]
别等到绿叶，
Don’t wait till green leaves
慢慢变黄了。
Slowly turn to gold.
趁着好时节，
While the time is kind,
我去呼唤你。
I’ll call your name so bold.

别等到红花，
Don’t wait till red blooms
枯萎凋零了。
Wither and fall away.
正当烂漫时，
While love still burns bright,
我要把你带回家。
I’ll bring you home to stay.

[Verse 3 – Awakening and Acceptance]
真的呀，
Truly, yeah,
快点来吧，亲爱的。
Hurry now, my darling.
有天我老了，
One day I’ll grow old,
有天你老了，
One day you’ll too,
没法相见了。
And we’ll never meet again.

别等到心爱的人，
Don’t wait till the one you love
慢慢变老了。
Grows slowly old with time.
趁着好时光，
While the time is kind,
我要去爱你。
I’ll go and make you mine.

别等到青丝，
Don’t wait till black hair
变成了白发。
Turns into white threads of age.
正当烂漫时，
While life still blooms wild,
我要把你留在家。
I’ll keep you close and safe.

[Rap Bridge – English · Lil Wayne Tone]
Yeah…
Tickin’ time, I see it grinnin’, got no mercy in its grin,
Every second that I’m sinnin’, I’m just losin’ what I win.
Got a heart that keeps on speakin’, but my pride don’t let it show,
Love’s a lesson I keep learnin’, but the test is lettin’ go.
Ain’t no rewind, baby, this ain’t VHS,
You blink once, the rest is just a guess.
She said “forever,” I said “maybe,”
But maybe don’t last long—believe me.
I’ve seen angels turn to strangers,
Sweet dreams turn into dangers.
Time don’t wait for who hesitates,
It buries kings, it crowns mistakes.
So if you got a heart, don’t save it for the grave,
Don’t let your silence be the love you never gave.
While the time is kind, you better take your chance,
Before the minutes fade like footprints in the sand.

[Final Verse – Resolution and Peace]
别等到心爱的人，
Don’t wait till the one you love
慢慢变老了。
Grows slowly old with time.
趁着好时光，
While the time is kind,
我要去爱你。
I’ll go and make you mine.

别等到青丝，
Don’t wait till black hair
变成了白发。
Turns into white threads of age.
正当当下时，
While the moment is here,
我要把你留在家。
I’ll keep you close and safe.

真的呀，
Truly, yeah,
快点来吧，亲爱的。
Hurry now, my darling.
有天我老了，
One day I’ll grow old,
有天你老了，
One day you’ll too,
没法相见了。
And we’ll never meet again.
