答應不愛你

• By: 鄭中基

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

明明愛很清晰 卻又接受分離

Clearly loving you, yet accepting the separation

我只剩思念的權利

All I have left is the right to miss you

難過還來不及 愛早已融入呼吸

Feeling sad isn't even here yet, love has already become part of my breath

不存在的存在心底

A non-existent presence deep inside my heart

雖然很努力 練習著忘記

Though I try so hard to forget

我的心卻還沒答應可以放棄了你

My heart still hasn't agreed to give up on you

真的對不起 答應了你不再愛你

I'm truly sorry, I promised I wouldn't love you anymore

我卻還沒答應我自己

But I haven't promised myself yet

明明愛很清晰 卻要接受分離

Clearly loving you, yet having to accept the separation

我只剩思念的權利

All I have left is the right to miss you

難過還來不及 就讓愛融入空氣

Sadness hasn't even arrived yet; let love merge into the air

不存在的存在心底

A non-existent presence deep inside my heart

...

...

說好要忘記 偏偏又想起

We promised to forget, yet I keep thinking of you

原來我的心還沒有答應放棄了你

It turns out my heart hasn't agreed to give you up yet

真的對不起 雖然曾經答應了你

I'm really sorry, even though I once promised you

我卻還沒答應我自己

I haven't promised myself yet

卻又如何真的不愛你

But how can I truly not love you

...
