Good to be Bad

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

Hmm, it's good to be bad, good to be bad

Hmm, it's good to be bad, good to be bad

Oh-oh, just listen what I have to say

Oh-oh, just listen to what I have to say

有時別問事情愚或對

Sometimes don't ask if things are foolish or right

沿途若是遇著你伴隨

If I meet you along the way

禁地 漠視閘門爬入去

In forbidden places, I sneak in without care

深宵三點在創舉

At three in the morning, making history

即興 機車之旅尋樂趣 (尋樂趣)

Impromptu, a motorcycle trip seeking fun (seeking fun)

前路未定但沒有顧慮

The road ahead is uncertain but I have no worries

一起 自畫地圖行下去

Together, we draw our own map and keep going

不怕風飄著雨水

Not afraid of the wind and rain

It's good to be bad, good to be bad

It's good to be bad, good to be bad

如若你 你心怕虛 實在浪費味蕾

If you, your heart is afraid, it's truly a waste of taste

It's good to be bad, good to be bad

It's good to be bad, good to be bad

男或女 也不要再壓抑心裡

Whether man or woman, don't suppress your heart anymore

別問規矩 即管太另類 別理什麼根據

Don't ask about the rules, even if it's too unconventional, don't care about any basis

未被應許 都不畏懼 即管超速去追 再踏入禁區

Not promised, still unafraid, even if I speed to chase, stepping into forbidden zones

莫問規矩 這刻你伴隨 被扣鎖也最登對

Don't ask about the rules, at this moment you're with me, even if locked up, it's still perfect

未被嘉許 即使有罪 多驚險都不怕累

Not praised, even if guilty, no matter how dangerous, I'm not afraid of being tired

你要是 (若從未曾壞 暫時來越界)

If you (if you've never been bad, come and cross the line for a while)

(准我不太乖 瘋過才愉快)

(Let me be a little naughty, it's fun to be crazy)

要是 學著大人談道理 (談道理)

If you learn to reason like an adult (reasoning)

全部浪漫亦是空歡喜

All romance is just empty joy

有事 木獨劇情無謂理

If there's something, a solo drama is pointless

斗膽一刻別怕死

Dare to take a moment, don't be afraid to die

一早 飛機飛去尋覓你 (尋覓你)

Early in the morning, the plane flies to find you (to find you)

來回獨自靜坐一千里

Traveling alone, sitting quietly for a thousand miles

即興 更沒地圖行李

Impromptu, with no map or luggage

真愛先找著轉機

True love first finds a turning point

It's good to be bad, good to be bad

It's good to be bad, good to be bad

如若你 你心怕虛 實在浪費味蕾

If you, your heart is afraid, it's truly a waste of taste

It's good to be bad, good to be bad

It's good to be bad, good to be bad

男或女 也不要再規管心裡

Whether man or woman, don't regulate your heart anymore

別問規矩 即管太另類 別理什麼根據

Don't ask about the rules, even if it's too unconventional, don't care about any basis

未被應許 都不畏懼 即管超速去追 再踏入禁區

Not promised, still unafraid, even if I speed to chase, stepping into forbidden zones

莫問規矩 這刻你伴隨 被扣鎖也最登對

Don't ask about the rules, at this moment you're with me, even if locked up, it's still perfect

未被嘉許 即使有罪 多驚險都不怕累

Not praised, even if guilty, no matter how dangerous, I'm not afraid of being tired

可不可手執海報 於山頂高聲宣佈

Can we hold a poster and loudly announce at the mountain top?

太慶倖這刻找到 你我最自己一套

So lucky to find at this moment, the most authentic version of ourselves

可不可拋開擺佈 燈光中伸手擁抱

Can we throw away the arrangements, reaching out to embrace in the lights?

根本不必很吞吐 我信我自己一套

There's no need to hesitate, I believe in my own way

若從未曾壞 暫時來越界

If you've never been bad, come and cross the line for a while

准我不太乖 瘋過才愉快

Let me be a little naughty, it's fun to be crazy

不怕心太歪 此際無限界

Not afraid of a crooked heart, at this moment there are no limits

一刹不太乖 瘋過才愉快

For a moment, not too obedient, it's fun to be crazy

別問規矩 即管太另類 其實並未心虛

Don't ask about the rules, even if it's too unconventional, I'm actually not insecure

未被應許 都不畏懼 即管超速去追 再踏入禁區

Not promised, still unafraid, even if I speed to chase, stepping into forbidden zones

莫問規矩 這刻你伴隨 被扣鎖也最登對

Don't ask about the rules, at this moment you're with me, even if locked up, it's still perfect

未被嘉許 即使有罪 多驚險都不怕累 ooh

Not praised, even if guilty, no matter how dangerous, I'm not afraid of being tired ooh

別問規矩 即管太另類 別理什麼根據 (it's good to be bad, good to be bad)

Don't ask about the rules, even if it's too unconventional, don't care about any basis (it's good to be bad, good to be bad)

未被應許 都不畏懼 即管超速去追 再踏入禁區

Not promised, still unafraid, even if I speed to chase, stepping into forbidden zones

莫問規矩 這刻你伴隨 被扣鎖也最登對 (it's good to be bad, good to be bad)

Don't ask about the rules, at this moment you're with me, even if locked up, it's still perfect (it's good to be bad, good to be bad)

未被嘉許 即使有罪 多驚險都不怕累

Not praised, even if guilty, no matter how dangerous, I'm not afraid of being tired

It's good to be bad, good to be bad

It's good to be bad, good to be bad
