[English]

I'd rather endure your scowling face for me

As long as you're still in front of me

I'd rather believe in all our arguments about love

Just wanting to hear your apology

I think you can't escape us

The love that's left, who is it lingering for

I'd rather blame each other together

Than be left missing you alone

I can't bear to let you

Be without me in the future, to make you hate me

Really want so badly to say goodbye

Wish I could say goodbye

All I can do is promise you

In my lifetime

Eventually, I will say it once

I'd rather love until only resentment remains

Like chatting, that lingering tenderness

I'd rather believe that we still care

Then suddenly get irritated easily

I wouldn't want to lose my temper every time, to stoop so low

One has to carry the burden alone

...

I'd rather blame each other together

Than be left missing you alone

I can't bear to let you

Be without me in the future, to make you hate me

Really want so badly to say goodbye

Wish I could say goodbye

Waiting until 2036, when I turn 60

Then say goodbye

Say goodbye again

Say goodbye again

...

[Chinese]

寧可忍受對我黑着臉

只要你還 在我面前

寧可相信那麼愛爭辯

只是想聽那聲道歉

我想你也掙不脱我們

殘存的愛 為了誰留戀

寧願兩個人報怨

不要一個人掛念

不忍心讓你

以後沒有我 來讓你討厭

很想很想說 再見

多希望說得出再見

只能答應你

在我有生之年

早晚會說一遍

寧可愛到只剩下怨言

就像聊天 那樣纏綿

寧可相信 我們還在乎

才動不動 看不順眼

我也不想每次翻了臉 再犯了賤

一人要拖曳

寧願兩個人報怨

不要一個人掛念

不忍心讓你

以後沒有我 來讓你討厭

很想很想說 再見

多希望說得出再見

2036年等到我60歲

再說再見

再說再見

再說再見
