Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我和你 或者末路

You and I, or perhaps at the end of the road

可以就趁夜裡尚有燭光 跳多一隻舞

Let's take this moment in the night, before the candles fade, and dance once more

我和你 如此地步

You and I, in this state

都要就趁尚有殘餘力氣 來說句安好

Let's seize whatever strength remains to say goodbye peacefully

太快嗎 一句道別 殘餘細碎火花

Is it too soon? A farewell sparks like tiny fragments of fire

盡興嗎 假使終結 何不親多一下

Is it enough? If this is the end, why not hold each other closer

消耗大家 至可認定 你我之間 放過最美煙花

Using passion to burn away our doubts, and then say farewell

拿情慾將彼此火化 才講再會吧

Let’s burn each other with desire, and then part ways

我和你 回歸陌路

You and I, returning to strangers

可會就趁霧裡尚有街燈 伴我踏歸途

Maybe we'll walk under the streetlights still shining through the fog, on our way back

我和你 沒有明早

You and I, with no tomorrow in sight

只怕是告別了才來後悔 從未夠膽乞討

Afraid that we'll only regret after saying goodbye, never daring to ask for more

太快嗎 一句道別 殘餘細碎火花

Is it too soon? A farewell sparks like tiny fragments of fire

盡興嗎 假使終結 何不親多一下

Is it enough? If this is the end, why not hold each other closer

消耗大家 至可認定 你我之間 放過最美煙花

Using passion to burn away our doubts, and then say farewell

拿情慾將彼此火化 才講再會吧

Let’s burn each other with desire, and then part ways

我努力過 已沒有心魔 願你都不枉過

I've tried my best, no more inner demons—hope you haven't wasted your efforts too

來吧告別前 撲多一次猛火

Come, before parting, let’s ignite one last fierce blaze

要快將 一切幻滅 無人再放煙花

Quickly, let everything vanish—no more fireworks in the sky

內疚嗎 即將終結 燃燒到盡好嗎

Feeling guilty? As we near the end, shall we burn it all the way out?

不要後悔 大家盡力 曾嘗試過

No regrets, we've all tried our best, given it a real shot

曾日夜在牽掛 難道就此歸灰燼嗎

Having worried day and night, is it all just to turn to ash in the end?

來貪多一剎 哪管它 我不怕

Let's indulge for a fleeting moment—no matter what, I’m not afraid

...
