[Intro] (Where are you getting off?) (Aberdeen — you will love it) (How long until we get there?) (Maybe fifteen minutes, just relax) [Intro 2] South Side…… South Side…… South Side…… South Side…… Modern Concrete…… Modern Concrete…… Modern Concrete…… Modern Concrete…… [Verse] I am on the A10 bus, going down Pok Fu Lam Road I can see the sea through the trees Concrete buildings are rising up from the hillside They are strong, bold, and beautiful They were built in the fifties, sixties, and seventies I can't see this in Japan This is what I came here to find [Pre-Chorus] I get off the bus in Aberdeen I am standing on Hong Kong Island for the first time I can smell the salt, the street food smoke, and the incense I can see a temple by the road, at the foot of the hill I can feel the energy of the street [Chorus] I hop on the sampan I tap my Octopus card, and we go Today I am filming everything But next time, I want to just see the scenery Next time I will not raise my phone Next time I will sit and look Next time I will just arrive at Ap Lei Chau [Drop] Sampan…… Sampan…… Sampan…… Sampan…… [Pre-Chorus] I get off the bus in Aberdeen I am standing on Hong Kong Island for the first time I can smell the salt, the street food smoke, and the incense I can see a temple by the road, at the foot of the hill I can feel the energy of the street [Final Chorus] I hop on the sampan I tap my Octopus card, and we go Today I am filming everything But next time, I want to just see the scenery Next time I will not raise my phone Next time I will sit and look Next time I will just arrive at Ap Lei Chau [Outro] (Should we return to Aberdeen?) (We should — but not today) (We still have so many places to go) (Next time?) (Next time, for sure!) Japanese: (どこで降りるの?) (Aberdeen、絶対気に入るよ) (あとどのくらいでつく?) (十五分くらいかな、ゆっくりして) Pok Fu Lam Roadを曲がりながら下っていく 木々の隙間から海がにじみ出てくる そして丘の斜面からコンクリートが立ち上がる 力強く、大胆に、自由に 青空を背に積み重なるスラブ棟 五十年代、六十年代、七十年代の灰色 幾十年を経たコンクリートの夢 これを見るために、海を渡ってきた Aberdeenに降り立つ ついに——香港の土を踏んだ 潮の香り、屋台の煙、線香 高層マンションの間に挟まれた廟 こんなに生きていると感じたことはなかった 舢舨に乗り込む オクトパスでピッ、出発 今日は全部撮っておく でも次は——ただ流れに身を任せたい 次は携帯を上げない 次はただ立って、見つめるだけ 次は鴨脷洲に 風のように包まれていたい (舢舨で折り返す?) (そうしたい——でも今日はここまで) (次回?) (次回、絶対に)
