可惜我是水瓶座 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

原來你這樣珍惜我

So you cherish me like this

從前在熱戀中都未聽講過

I never heard it before when we were in love

別說這種行貨

Don't say such things

哪裡留得住我

Where can I be held back

到底是為什麼分手你很清楚

You know very well why we broke up

如何笨到底

How foolish can I be

但到底 還是我

But in the end, it's still me

誰人待我好

Who treats me well

待我差 太清楚

Who treats me poorly, it's too clear

想繼續裝傻

I want to keep pretending to be foolish

卻又無力受折磨

But I'm powerless to endure the torment

心裡羨慕那些人

I envy those people in my heart

盲目到不計後果

Blindly not considering the consequences

我就回去 別引出我淚水

I'll just go back, don't bring out my tears

尤其明知水瓶座最愛是流淚

Especially knowing that an Aquarius loves to cry the most

若然道別是下一句

If goodbye is the next line

可以閉上了你的咀

You can close your mouth now

無謂再會 要是再會 更加心碎

No need to meet again, if we do, it will be even more heartbreaking

要是回去 沒有止痛藥水

If I go back, there’s no painkiller

拿來長島冰茶換我半晚安睡

Trade it for a Long Island iced tea to get me through half a night’s sleep

十年後或現在失去

Lost ten years later or now

反正到最尾也唏噓

Anyway, in the end, it’s all sighs

夠絕情 我都趕我自己出去

So heartless, I even push myself away

...

...

猶如最結實的堡壘

Like the strongest fortress

原來在 逐點崩潰逐點粉碎

Turns out it's collapsing and shattering bit by bit

極固執的如我

As stubborn as I am

也會捱不下去

I can't hold on anymore

每天扮著幸福

Every day pretending to be happy

始終有些心虛

But there's always some guilt

如何笨到底

How foolish can I be

但到底 還是我

But in the end, it's still me

誰人待我好 待我差 太清楚

Who treats me well, who treats me poorly, it's too clear

想繼續裝傻 卻又無力受折磨

I want to keep pretending to be foolish, but I'm powerless to endure the torment

心裡羨慕有些人 盲目到不計後果

I envy some people in my heart, blindly not considering the consequences

我就回去 別引出我淚水

I'll just go back, don't bring out my tears

尤其明知水瓶座最愛是流淚

Especially knowing that an Aquarius loves to cry the most

若然道別是下一句

If goodbye is the next line

可以閉上了你的咀

You can close your mouth now

無謂再會 要是再會 更加心碎

No need to meet again, if we do, it will be even more heartbreaking

要是回去 沒有止痛藥水

If I go back, there’s no painkiller

拿來長島冰茶換我半晚安睡

Trade it for a Long Island iced tea to get me through half a night’s sleep

十年後或現在失去

Lost ten years later or now

反正到最尾也唏噓

Anyway, in the end, it’s all sighs

夠絕情 我都趕我自己出去

So heartless, I even push myself away
