Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

如果 兄妹相稱太多

Calling each other siblings all the time

醒不起喜歡我

I wake up unable to love me

快研究和我這異性 拍拖

Hurry up and explore dating this opposite sex with me

訛稱 知己的真太多

Claiming to be soulmates, but there's too much truth

當女共男未變愛侶

When a girl and a guy aren't lovers yet

不吻過自然沒結果

No kiss, no natural results

沒有好感怎會相親相愛

How could there be love without feelings

大哥只是掩飾

Big brother is just hiding something

能做對愛侶 墮落成朋友

Able to be good lovers but fall back to friends

誰心息

Who cares about the heart

我要愛情不需要登對

I want love, no need to be a perfect match

不需得你允許

No need for your permission

兄妹真有趣 不需要分居

Siblings are interesting, no need to live separately

忘記輩份再追

Forget the kinship, then pursue

我要愛情摧毀世交也不失一個壯舉

I want love so strong even destroying traditional bonds would be a great feat

相戀的證據 假使要爭取

Proof of love, if I need to fight for it

唯有約定和大哥喝醉

Only a promise to get drunk with big brother

...

曾經 想手執一柄鎗

Once wanted to hold a gun in my hand

想逼供你一趟

Wanted to force an interrogation on you

我和你無愛 誰沒有智商

Neither of us loves, who's without intelligence

如果 戀愛必需創傷

If falling in love must result in wounds

想你亦明白到我倆

Thinking of you, I understand both of us

雖開心都也受夠傷

Even happy, we've had enough pain

沒有好感怎會相親相愛

How could there be love without feelings

大哥只是掩飾

Big brother is just hiding something

能做對愛侶 墮落成朋友

Able to be good lovers but fall back to friends

誰心息

Who cares about the heart

我要愛情不需要登對

I want love, no need to be a perfect match

不需得你允許

No need for your permission

兄妹真有趣 不需要分居

Siblings are interesting, no need to live separately

忘記輩份再追

Forget the kinship, then pursue

我要愛情摧毀世交也不失一個壯舉

I want love so strong even destroying traditional bonds would be a great feat

相戀的證據 假使要爭取

Proof of love, if I need to fight for it

唯有約定和大哥喝醉

Only a promise to get drunk with big brother
