Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我冷漠 是不想被看出 太容易 被感動觸及

I act indifferent to avoid being seen as easily touched.

...

...

我比較喜歡 現在的自己 不太想 回到過去

I prefer the person I am now and don't want to go back to the past.

我常常 為我們之間 忽遠忽近的關係 擔心或委屈

I often worry or feel wronged about the fluctuating relationship between us.

別人只一句話 就刺痛心裡 每一根神經

Just a word from others can pierce my heart, affecting every nerve.

...

...

你的孤單 是座城堡 讓人景仰 卻處處防疫

Your loneliness is a castle, admired by many but heavily guarded.

...

...

你的溫柔 那麼緩慢 小心翼翼 脆弱又安靜

Your tenderness is so slow, careful and fragile, quiet yet strong.

也許 我們都意會到 這次面對的幸福 是真的來臨

Perhaps we both realize that this happiness we face is truly coming.

因為太珍惜 所以才猶豫 忘了先把彼此 抱緊

Because we cherish it too much, we hesitate, forgetting to hold each other tight first.

我不是流言 不能猜測你

I am not a rumor; I cannot guess your feelings.

瘋狂的遊戲 需要誰准許

瘋狂的遊戲 需要誰准許

別人怎麼說 我都不介意

This crazy game needs someone's permission.

我愛不愛你 日久見人心

I don't care what others say.

存一寸光陰 換一個世紀

Whether I love you or not, time will reveal the truth.

摘一片苦心 釀一滴蜂蜜

Saving a moment in time to exchange for a century.

用盡了全力 只為在一起

Picking a piece of heartache to brew a drop of honey.

我愛不愛你 愛久見人心

Using all my strength just to be together.

...
