新登殿

婚姻顧問，
建議二人:

你請轉身向左看，
轉到盡頭再回轉。
你請轉身向右看，
轉到盡頭也回轉。

轉到二人面對面，
睜大眼睛仔細看。
她還是當年的彩樓女。
他還是當年的彩球男。

你們有愛也有嫌。
你們有變有未變。
一日夫妻百日戀。
百日夫妻戀千年。

請再轉身向前看，
前面不遠有個亮點。
朝著亮點齊向前，
一路磨合會更相戀。

到那裡，
破瓦也能變金磚。
寒窯也能變金殿。

你兩個，
共建你們的理想國。
合演你們的新登殿。

我現在，
不收你們的諮詢費。
到那時，
請我去把你那好戲看。

New Palace Play

A marriage counselor,
suggests to two customers:

You, please turn to look at right,

then turn back to look at left.

You, please turn to look at left,

then turn back to look at right.

 

When you turn face-to-face,

please look with wide eyes.

She is still that ball casting gal.

He is still that ball catching guy.

 

You have something changed,

something still being held tight.

Now you have less love more disgust,

but still cannot afford to be divided.

 

One day are husband and wife,

will be in love a hundred nights.

A hundred days are hubby and wife,

will be in love a whole life time.

 

 

Now, please turn and look forward,
there is a bright place not far away.
Toward the place you go together,
will be more in love on your way.

Get there,
broken tile can become golden piece,
cold house can become golden palace.

 

You two,
build your ideal state at the place,
perform your new play at the palace.

 

Right now,

I would not charge you in any way.

By then,

please invite me to enjoy your play.
