Hmmm

Hmmm

要超越什麼 你至可以飛

What do you need to surpass to fly?

...

...

肯定就是你

It's definitely you

(Wow-wow-wow, you stand in your way)

(Wow-wow-wow, you stand in your way)

再自訂 大量禁忌

Re-establishing lots of taboos

拖跨的 肯定就是你

What's dragging you down is definitely you

(Wow-wow-wow, don't stand in your way)

(Wow-wow-wow, don't stand in your way)

你敗在 事事顧忌

You're defeated by being overly cautious

只懂得 wow wow wow

Only know how to wow wow wow

這晚 你對鏡問 ah

Tonight, you ask the mirror, ah

愛錯 哪個有責任 ah

Who's responsible for loving the wrong person, ah

好聽點 就是 dum-dum

To put it nicely, it's dum-dum

真心講 就是太笨

To be honest, it's just too stupid

你也算 漂亮吧

You're considered pretty, right?

為何個個嫁了 你卻會剩下

Why is everyone else married, but you're left behind?

講勇氣 你 卻是太差

When it comes to courage, you're too bad

很輸不起吧

You can't afford to lose, can you?

什麼事 幸福放面前

When happiness is right in front of you

也使你 畏縮似 loser

It makes you shrink like a loser

你可以 說一次 yes 吧

Can you just say yes once?

失敗 敗在自量 之下

Defeat, defeated by underestimating yourself

不用 外力大力 攻下

No need for external forces to attack strongly

想追阻得到你嗎? (oh)

Can anything stop you from pursuing what you want? (oh)

肯定就是你

It's definitely you

(Wow-wow-wow, you stand in your way)

(Wow-wow-wow, you stand in your way)

再自訂 大量禁忌

Re-establishing lots of taboos

拖跨的 肯定就是你

What's dragging you down is definitely you

(Wow-wow-wow, don't stand in your way)

(Wow-wow-wow, don't stand in your way)

你敗在 事事顧忌

You're defeated by being overly cautious

只懂得 wow-wow-wow

Only know how to wow-wow-wow

點解咁怕痛 心口冇個勇

Why are you so afraid of pain, with no courage in your heart?

永遠匿 comfort zone

Forever hiding in your comfort zone

懶 laid back 嘅你 賴地冇用

Your lazy, laid-back attitude is useless

想 飛天 秘訣就係去盡

If you want to fly, the secret is to go all out

你 最惡對手

Your worst opponent

是 太快放手 你太會將就 (ah-ah)

Is giving up too soon, you're too accommodating (ah-ah)

別又日日站著 話墮了後

Don't stand there complaining about falling later

廢話 不 接 受

Nonsense is not accepted

什麼事 獲得勝利前

Before winning anything

已使你 怕死到躺下

It makes you so afraid of death that you lie down

間中也 搏一次 好吧 (不戰自降更可怕)

Occasionally fight once, okay? (Surrendering without a fight is even more terrible)

失敗 敗在自量 之下

Defeat, defeated by underestimating yourself

不用 外力大力 攻下

No need for external forces to attack strongly

想追 阻得到你嗎? Yeah (oh)

Can anything stop you from pursuing what you want? Yeah (oh)

肯定就是你

It's definitely you

(Wow-wow-wow, you stand in your way)

(Wow-wow-wow, you stand in your way)

再自訂 大量禁忌

Re-establishing lots of taboos

拖跨的 肯定就是你

What's dragging you down is definitely you

(Wow-wow-wow, don't stand in your way)

(Wow-wow-wow, don't stand in your way)

你敗在 事事顧忌

You're defeated by being overly cautious

只懂得 wow-wow-wow

Only know how to wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow

Come out and play

Come out and play

Seize the day

Seize the day

Wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow

肯定就是你 (wow-wow-wow)

It's definitely you (wow-wow-wow)

攔阻你 (you stand in your way)

Blocking you (you stand in your way)

再自訂 大量禁忌 (no more)

Re-establishing lots of taboos (no more)

拖跨的 肯定就是你 (woo)

What's dragging you down is definitely you (woo)

(Wow-wow-wow, don't stand in your way)

(Wow-wow-wow, don't stand in your way)

要越活 越沒禁忌 (oh)

Live life with fewer and fewer taboos (oh)

誇張的 wow-wow-wow

Exaggerated wow-wow-wow

...
