第一天失戀 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

星巴克的咖啡倒了一半

Half of the Starbucks coffee is spilled

刻意的缓和情绪 我没颓然流泪

Deliberately calming my emotions, I didn't break down in tears

分手的字句不出那两类 不听不知 无顾虑

The breakup phrases are nothing more than those two types, not listening, not knowing, no worries

我转头离别 懒得取走咖啡单据

I turn and leave, too lazy to take the coffee receipt

影相机的记忆给我统统删去

Delete all the memories from the camera

随即上网订一张机票 上机再睡

Immediately book a plane ticket online, sleep on the plane

在半空经过气流起跌 我开始失恋者之旅

Passing through turbulence in mid-air, my journey as a heartbroken person begins

浮云端 无人能知道 我掉眼泪

In the clouds, no one knows I'm shedding tears

第一天失恋 以后怎算 还须赶快接受变迁

The first day of heartbreak, what's next? I must quickly accept the change

没有爱情 差点崩溃 已经在临界点

Without love, almost collapsed, already at the breaking point

结束 第一天失恋 快乐改天 思维都紊乱

The end, the first day of heartbreak, happiness another day, thoughts are all confused

明显光阴似箭 我捱过这天 我过到这天 明日有挑战

Obviously time flies, I survived this day, I got through this day, tomorrow there are challenges

失恋者的记忆不会统统删去

The memories of the heartbroken won't all be deleted

留底最美丽片段 使我想得更累

Leaving the most beautiful fragments, making me think even more

在脑海阴暗处难消退 要走出失恋者之旅

Difficult to fade in the dark corners of my mind, I must walk out of this heartbroken journey

而旁边 无人能知道我是没法睡

And next to me, no one knows I can't sleep

第一天失恋 以后怎算 还须赶快接受变迁

The first day of heartbreak, what's next? I must quickly accept the change

没有爱情 差点崩溃 已经在临界点

Without love, almost collapsed, already at the breaking point

结束 第一天失恋 快乐改天 思维都紊乱

The end, the first day of heartbreak, happiness another day, thoughts are all confused

都知光阴似箭 我捱过这天 我过到这天 明日又有挑战

I know time flies, I survived this day, I got through this day, tomorrow there are more challenges

别要随进失恋深渊 其实我该决断

Don't fall into the abyss of heartbreak, in fact, I should be decisive

还须真知灼见 我看见 看见 人缺点

I must have true insight, I see, I see people's flaws

第一天失恋 以后打算 须赶快接受变迁

The first day of heartbreak, what's the plan? I must quickly accept the change

没有爱情 差点崩溃 我怎能结束 全部你的片段

Without love, almost collapsed, how can I end all your fragments?

第一天失恋 快乐改天 思维都紊乱

The first day of heartbreak, happiness another day, thoughts are all confused

明显光阴似箭 我捱过这天 可走出失恋 再见

Obviously time flies, I survived this day, can walk out of heartbreak, goodbye
