愛人執照

• By: 呂爵安

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

連續愛 連續試 連續錯

Loving continuously, trying repeatedly, making mistakes again and again

曾被愛 愚弄過 如此多

Been loved, fooled so many times

榮獲過 數段美好

Having experienced wonderful moments

不可抵消 失控惹的禍

Irreparable damage caused by losing control

難道我 磨練過 仍不可

Am I still unable to develop some maturity after training?

熬出些修養

To make him see that things shouldn't be so wrong

來使他朝 不這麽錯

Talking about love is like failing that subject

談情像注定考不好那科

Is doing the right thing enough to pass?

做對的 夠及格麼

Making mistakes, do I need to ponder in a past life?

做錯的 要用上一世 去揣摩

How many more tears must I shed to qualify for the finals?

還要哭幾次 先有 資格 入圍嗎

How many more times must I take the test to get my license to love?

還要考幾次 先有 執照 動情嗎

I lack confidence

我自信極差

Yet I throw myself into thousands of love battles

仍投入 愛戀的 千軍萬馬

Even if at first I didn’t know how to resist

就算起初 不懂招架

Climbing up from my mistakes

自錯誤𥚃攀爬

How many more times must I hurt before I consider myself learned?

還要傷幾次 先算 一切 學成嗎

And must I go through more pain to recognize it all?

留了級幾次 先算 開竅

Leaving behind a few grades, I hope I finally wake up

付完 幸福的代價

Paying the price for happiness

從前沒常識 跟她上過一課 方可愛你嗎

Went through so many lessons without common sense, only then can I love you properly

失戀𥚃學會的事情

Things I learned from a breakup

他朝會是我的相戀秘笈嗎

Could this be my secret to loving?

時候錯 人物錯 全犯過

Wrong timing, wrong person, I made all the mistakes

明白了 拿來傍身 可否將功抵過

Realized that holding onto these lessons can be a shield, perhaps I can turn mistakes into gains

和前度那段 即使衝撞太多

Even with my ex, despite many clashes

劇痛中 領悟探戈

In the agony, I learned the tango of love

願儲起 我犯過的錯

I wish I could store the mistakes I've made

夠換個獎座

Enough to win an award

還要哭幾次 先有 資格 入圍嗎

How many more tears must I shed before I qualify for the finals?

還要考幾次 先有 執照 動情嗎

How many more times must I pass the test to get my license to love?

縱運氣極差

Even with extremely bad luck

汲取教訓的我 總不會太差

Learning lessons, I probably won't be too bad

今天殺掉我的事情

Today, about things that almost destroyed me

他朝再遇上 終可救贖我嗎

Will I be redeemed if I meet him again someday?

開車要考取 執照嗎

Do I need to get a license to drive?

大狀和醫生 訓練過 才能 完全 及格嗎

Do lawyers and doctors need training to be fully qualified?

慢慢學 只因 尊重它

Learn step by step, out of respect for love

我被錯愛 特訓過 便接你回家

I’ve been thoroughly trained in bad love, so I can bring you home

若情路上 題目亦 殘酷極 毋害怕

If love’s test is also cruel, don’t be afraid

就押後畢業好嗎

Would it be better to delay graduation?

還要哭幾次 先有 資格 入圍嗎

How many more tears must I shed before I qualify for the finals?

還要考幾次 先有 執照 動情嗎

How many more times must I pass to get my license to love?

我自信極差

I lack confidence

仍投入 愛戀的 千軍萬馬

Still pouring my heart into love’s thousands of battles

就算起初 不懂招架

Even if at first I didn’t know how to resist

自錯誤𥚃攀爬

Climbing from my mistakes

還要傷幾次 先算 一切 學成嗎

How many more times must I hurt before I consider myself learned?

留了級幾次 先算 開竅

Having had to repeat classes, I hope I finally understand

付完 幸福的代價

Pay the price for happiness

純如稚童的 必須貼夠膠布 才能升班嗎

Like a naive child, must I wear enough bandages to move up a grade?

失戀教導我的事情

What I learned from heartbreak

他朝會是愛的高級証書嗎

Will meeting him again someday be the ultimate proof of love?

忍多會好嗎

Can enduring more bring me peace?

狠狠學會它

Learn love deeply and intensely
