Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴我总算学会了如何去爱
可惜你早已远去
消失在人海
后来
终于在眼泪中明白
有些人一旦错过就不在
栀子花 白花瓣
落在我蓝色百褶裙上 爱你 你轻声说
我低下头闻见一阵芬芳
那个永恒的夜晚
十七岁仲夏
你吻我的那个夜晚
让我往后的时光
每当有感叹
总想起当天的星光
那时候的爱情
为什么就能那样简单
而又是为什么人年少时
一定要让深爱的人受伤
在这相似的深夜里
你是否一样
也在静静追悔感伤
如果当时我们能不那么倔强
现在也不那么遗憾
你都如何回忆我
带著笑或是很沉默
这些年来有没有人能让你不寂寞
后来
我总算学会了如何去爱
可惜你早已远去
消失在人海
后来
终于在眼泪中明白
有些人一旦错过就不再
你都如何回忆我
带著笑或是很沉默
这些年来有没有人能让你不寂寞
后来
我总算学会了如何去爱
可惜你早已远去
消失在人海
后来
终于在眼泪中明白
有些人一旦错过就不再
后来
我总算学会了如何去爱
可惜你早已远去
消失在人海
后来
终于在眼泪中明白
有些人一旦错过就不再

永远不会再重来
有一个男孩爱著那个女孩

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hins Cheung's song "Hou Lai" express the theme of lost love and the regret that comes with it. Cheung sings about finally learning how to love someone, only to realize that the person he loved had already gone and disappeared into the crowd. He reflects on the profound sadness of losing someone who was once so important to him and how it took tears and time to understand that some people, once lost, are never to be found again.

The imagery in the song is particularly poignant, as Cheung talks about how a gardenia flower fell on his blue pleated skirt and how the scent of it reminds him of his lost love. He also recalls the eternal night of being seventeen years old and the bittersweet memories of the past that persist in the present.

The lyrics also question why love is sometimes so simple when we are young, yet we tend to hurt the people we love the most. Cheung wonders why people are so stubborn and are willing to let go of someone they deeply care about, only to regret it later on. Ultimately, the message of the song is that once someone is lost, they are lost forever, and there is no way to regain what was lost.
