Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

一直覺得平凡普通不夠好

I always felt that being ordinary wasn't enough

祈求驚世故事給我遇到

I prayed for a remarkable story to encounter

才令往後覺得自豪

Only then did I feel proud afterwards

直到當天遇上他

Until that day I met him

成為他掌心瑰寶

Became the treasure in his palm

虔誠地與我傾訴

Devoutly he confided in me

還預告 願意跟這一位終老

Even predicted a willingness to grow old with this one

當時無知 傻孩子 無疑心 有夢兒

At that time, naive child, without doubt, with dreams

無名指 看著他 真心至此

Looking at him with my ring finger, my heart was true

便覺得美麗年華就快要開始

I felt that the beautiful years were about to begin

連密友亦真心相信

Even my close friends truly believed

能同好 能同憂 無暇地 這婚事

To share joys and sorrows, without a care for this marriage

為何給那些誘惑蠶食了

Why let those temptations consume me

害我不敢見人

Causing me to be afraid to face others

誰狠心至此

Who could be so heartless

這是我的非凡人生嗎

Is this my extraordinary life?

一次又一次凌遲的愛 比死更差

Time and again, love that is slowly tortured, worse than death

平白無端想起一個人

Suddenly thinking of someone for no reason

不覺 原來眼淚已亂爬

Unknowingly, tears have begun to crawl

可以穿過傷痕重生嗎

Can I be reborn through the scars?

路上那倒影仍然是他

The reflection on the road is still him

經得起這場劇痛

Enduring this intense pain

總有些安慰使我痊癒是嗎

There must be some comfort that helps me heal, right?

但我經已付出一個天價

But I have already paid a sky-high price

...

當時無知 傻孩子 無疑心 有夢兒

At that time, naive child, without doubt, with dreams

無名指 看著他真心至此

Looking at him with my ring finger, my heart was true

便覺得少艾時期就快要終止

I felt that the youthful days were about to end

連密友亦真心相信

Even my close friends truly believed

能同好 能同憂 無暇地 這婚事

To share joys and sorrows, without a care for this marriage

為何給那些背叛埋掉了

Why let those betrayals bury me

害我死於愛情

Causing me to die from love

誰狠心至此

Who could be so heartless

這是我的非凡人生嗎

Is this my extraordinary life?

一次又一次凌遲的愛 比死更差

Time and again, love that is slowly tortured, worse than death

平白無端想起一個人

Suddenly thinking of someone for no reason

不覺 原來眼淚已亂爬

Unknowingly, tears have begun to crawl

可以穿過傷痕重生嗎

Can I be reborn through the scars?

路上那倒影仍然是他

The reflection on the road is still him

經得起這場劇痛

Enduring this intense pain

總有些安慰使我痊癒是嗎

There must be some comfort that helps me heal, right?

但我經已付出一個天價

But I have already paid a sky-high price

...

...

這是我的非凡人生嗎

Is this my extraordinary life?

只覺受的痛遲遲不退 即使結疤

Only feeling the pain lingering, even after it has scarred

誰在有生寫一則格言

Who in their lifetime writes a proverb

失去 才圓滿什麼瘋話

Losing is what makes everything complete, what nonsense

可以穿過傷痕重生嗎

Can I be reborn through the scars?

日後我應該如何恨他

In the future, how should I hate him?

想當天我還再笑

I wish that day I could still smile

轉眼間身處這個沉重代價

In the blink of an eye, facing this heavy price

願我敢再付出一次 好嗎

I wish I could dare to give once more, okay?
