Cantopop has always played an important role in our lives, soothing our hearts no matter how uncertain its future may appear. Derivative Cantopop, in particular, is a way for Hongkongers to express creativity, responding to social issues and cultural trends.
In the summer of 2019—a time of misery—may this song bring a moment of comfort to Hongkongers and hopefully remind us that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
望見滿街收工廢青\似看到最駭人風景\地鐵轉車只得怨聲\四五架 再搭幾公里\話咁快尖咀 轉眼間\石硤尾 再步行歸家\望見阿媽煮緊晚餐\五隻餸仲有兜燒腩\Why I smile coz food makes me smile
魚蛋雜菜煲 粉絲配豬肉\瑤柱醬送飯 豉油生菜\洋蔥煎雞扒 涼伴青瓜\番茄炒蛋 可以嗎\點解會變咗苦瓜\
願這世界無涼瓜\折墮生活如流花\ 苦到胃不懂消化\到後來發現也不差
就算世界如涼瓜\放入口內𡁻爛它\做人學懂欣賞苦不必再怕\Why I smile coz life makes me smile
魚蛋雜菜煲 粉絲配豬肉\瑤柱醬送飯 豉油生菜\洋蔥煎雞扒 涼伴青瓜\番茄炒蛋可以嗎\點解會變咗苦瓜\
就算世界如涼瓜\放入口內𡁻爛它\虎嚥狼舌都不怕\信未來會絕處開花
就算世界如涼瓜\哪懼生活就像它\任前路艱苦總有天不再怕\Why I smile coz life makes me smile\Why I smile coz life makes me smile
若這世間傷心太多\過兩秒燦爛成花火\若吃苦瓜得到更多\試吓亦無妨
