Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我不會講你知 其實是第幾次

I won't tell you, actually, how many times it is

和他相見 應否叫作外遇

Should seeing him be considered cheating?

對他有些意思 甚至想過明晚獨處

I have some feelings for him, even thought about being alone with him tomorrow night

時候來了 卻想起你的臉

When the time comes, I think of your face

情人該守約我也盡我本份 沒繼續錯下去

A lover should keep their promise, and I've done my duty, not continuing to make mistakes

無論如何喝醉 無論如何空虛

No matter how drunk, no matter how empty

歸家飾演你的好情人

I go home and play your good lover

專心一意共你溫存和熱吻

Focusing wholeheartedly on cuddling and kissing you

看你帶著童稚的亢奮

Seeing you with that childlike excitement

坦白會否徹底破壞氣氛

Would being honest completely ruin the atmosphere?

合著眼 撫心自問

Closing my eyes, I ask myself

這一種背叛 無意要你傷心

This kind of betrayal, I don't mean to hurt you

自我麻醉 說謊手不會震

Numbing myself, my hands don't shake when I lie

...

...

我想到忠與貞 然後是未了情

I think of loyalty and chastity, then of unfinished love

和他擁抱 可否叫作革命

Can embracing him be called a revolution?

也許有廝殺聲 但此刻我要慰藉

Maybe there'll be sounds of fighting, but right now I need comfort

想到處看風景 溶掉我眼影

Thinking of seeing the scenery everywhere, melting away my eyeshadow

歸家飾演你的好情人

I go home and play your good lover

專心一意共你溫存和熱吻

Focusing wholeheartedly on cuddling and kissing you

看你帶著童稚的亢奮

Seeing you with that childlike excitement

坦白會否徹底破壞氣氛

Would being honest completely ruin the atmosphere?

在你與他中間 找一道門吧 誰和誰被困

Between you and him, find a door, who is trapped with who?

如偷聽出聲音 牆要碎裂 我將燈光校暗

If I overhear sounds, if the wall breaks, I'll dim the lights

...

...

纏綿時 意念放空 只得畫面強烈震動

During intimacy, my mind goes blank, only the intense shaking of the scene remains

你和他 你和他 被接通

You and him, you and him, connected

...

...

即管充當你的好情人

Just play your good lover

專心一意共你溫存和熱吻

Focusing wholeheartedly on cuddling and kissing you

我愛你亦同樣體貼你

I love you, and I'm also considerate of you

不讓你知 人可以更醜陋

Not letting you know, a person can be even uglier

直到你想不出當天在床上 誰人陪著我

Until you can't figure out who was in bed with me that day

上萬個謊言 再接謊言 信我

Tens of thousands of lies, followed by more lies, believe me

...

...
