好好過 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

睡覺都哭泣委曲求全

Crying myself to sleep, accepting the way things are

博不到你可憐

Unable to reach you, feeling sorry for myself

令眼圈黑黑被擔心我的親友看見

Dark circles under my eyes, worried my friends and family will see

還受到我眼淚感染

My tears even seem to influence others

關心我又驚我討厭

They care for me but fear I might hate them

難道我要再為你而苦戰

Do I have to keep fighting for you?

獨處於家中一般快樂

Just happy staying home alone

再不與你關連

Stop caring about you anymore

善變的青春避不開要講一句再見

Youth’s changing, I have to say goodbye

忙著記錄你那片段

Busy recording every moment of you

看不出關係很遠

Can't tell how distant we’ve become

誰又要我記著我還失戀

Who cares that I’m still heartbroken?

還要生活　別再三失眠

Still gotta live, no more sleepless nights

難為善良好友憂心每天通宵的致電

Feeling bad for my good friends, staying up all night on the phone

隨便你走　仍能愉快的生存

You can leave, but I’ll still survive happily

修補我裂痕給我活過找個起點

Mend my broken heart, find a new start to live

贏了經驗　沒有輸尊嚴

Gained experience, kept my dignity intact

如常熱情工作應該慶祝衷心許個願

Work passionately as usual, celebrate with a heartfelt wish

年紀太小 人人受過傷無可避免

Too young to avoid getting hurt, everyone’s been through it

明日我便能振作　成熟半點

Tomorrow I’ll pick myself up, a bit more grown-up

沒你的冬天都不算壞

Winter without you doesn’t feel so bad

我取暖有火柴

I keep warm with a matchstick

為我煲一杯熱的鮮奶都溫暖世界

Boil a cup of hot fresh milk for me—warm my world

拿逝去情人節放大

Make that gone Valentine’s Day bigger than life

每一天一樣不快

Every day feels just as dull

其實我去抱著我能開解

Actually, I hold myself, I can find comfort

還要生活　別再三失眠

Still gotta live, no more sleepless nights

如常熱情工作應該慶祝衷心許個願

Work passionately as usual, celebrate with a heartfelt wish

年紀太小　人人受過傷無可避免

Too young to avoid the pain, everyone suffers

明日我便能振作 成熟半點

Tomorrow I’ll be stronger, a little more mature

還要生活　別再三失眠

Still gotta live, no more sleepless nights

難為善良好友憂心每天通宵的致電

Feeling bad for good friends, staying up all night calling

隨便你走　仍能愉快的生存

You can leave, but I’ll still survive happily

修補我裂痕給我活過找個起點

Mend my broken heart, find a new start to live

贏了經驗　沒有輸尊嚴

Gained experience, kept my dignity intact

如常熱情工作應該慶祝衷心許個願

Work passionately as usual, celebrate with a heartfelt wish

逃出困境　重頭為我的人生自勉

Escape the dilemma, restart my life with new hope

明日偶遇誰愛我 然後發展

Tomorrow I might meet someone who loves me, and see where it goes
