寂寞就如

• By: 麥浚龍, 謝安琪

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

寂寞就如自己一個放飛機

Loneliness is like standing someone up all alone

寂寞就如剩我陪字幕到尾

Loneliness is like being the only one watching the credits roll

即使想戒煙 家裡沒人避

Even wanting to quit smoking, no one at home minds

不知轉台轉到哪兒才放棄

Don't know which channel to stop on, before giving up

遇上新聞無天理

Coming across news of injustice

便痛哭平民被炸死

Then crying over civilians being bombed to death

誰替孤單慶幸 問世間 只有我襯

Who celebrates loneliness? Asking the world, only I'm worthy

任我多麼無能 也沒什麼必需要答允

No matter how useless I am, there's nothing I need to agree to

天光天暗 誰覺我黑面做人 無謂謂 又一陣

Dawn or dusk, who notices my long face? Meaningless, just another phase

玩火機玩到起枕也會 上癮

Playing with a lighter until it causes a rash, can also be addicting

...

...

寂寞就如自己一個吃火鍋 (自己一個吃火鍋)

Loneliness is like eating hot pot alone (eating hot pot alone)

寂寞就如爛戲回味用跳播

Loneliness is like fast-forwarding through a bad movie, replaying it

加薪不夠多 不要被人賀

If the raise isn't enough, don't let people congratulate you

怎麼有人會故意遺忘了我

How could someone deliberately forget about me?

沒有心人來搞我

No one with a heart bothers me

在網中與女神鬥歌

Battling songs with goddesses online

誰替孤單慶幸 問世間

Who celebrates loneliness? Asking the world

只有我襯 任我多麼無能

Only I'm worthy, no matter how useless I am

也沒什麼必需要答允 天光天暗

There's nothing I need to agree to, dawn or dusk

誰覺我黑面做人 無謂謂 又一陣

Who notices my long face? Meaningless, just another phase

好彩傷風也沒陪瞓

Luckily, even with a cold, no one sleeps with me

好想數數遍地雲吞

Really want to count the wontons all over the place

好驚俾蟻咬 無人類過問 (無人類過問)

So afraid of being bitten by ants, no humans care (no humans care)

...

...

能夠孤單夠運 樂趣只得我過癮

Being able to be alone is lucky, only I enjoy the fun

型在身邊無人 廢就是廢聽不到教訓

Cool that there's no one around, useless is useless, can't hear the lesson

底衫反轉 潮到再不用問人

Wearing the undershirt inside out, so trendy, no need to ask anyone

無謂謂未傷身 數數火機打幾多次

Meaningless, not hurt yet, counting how many times the lighter flicks

就點不了煙 過癮

But still can't light a cigarette, the thrill

...

...

只驚慣了

Just afraid of getting used to it

...

...
