酷愛 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

無論怎得罪 你說我是負累

No matter how much I offend you, you say I am a burden

陪著我等於死去了無情趣

Staying with me is like dying, losing all the joy

從前或現在當我是誰 你這一種伴侶

Who I used to be, or who I am now, what kind of partner are you

前夜一起睡 你卻沒廉恥竟講出口你怕受罪

We slept together the night before, yet you shamelessly admitted you’re afraid of pain

完全忘記往日為何 凌晨仍潮弄戲水

Completely forget why we loved, still playing in the water at dawn

難道 愛 愛 愛 愛 愛 我對愛情已死心

Could it be that love, love, love, love, love — I’ve given up on love

貪高興狠心敷衍 一下卻逼真的親吻

Desiring happiness, coldly dismissing, yet a kiss feels so real

我們這結局太不堪 分不出真假的愛恨

Our ending is too terrible, unable to tell true from false love and hate

無謂 愛 愛 愛 愛 愛 太過動魄驚心

It’s pointless — love, love, love, love, love — too overwhelming

我估錯這個世界得到教訓

I guess I misjudged this world and learned a lesson

怎相信人 命中怎麼愛著你為人

How can I trust people? Why do I love you so much in my fate

...

What kind of heart am I holding? I’ve been so kind to you

立甚麼心腸 我對你極善良

If you’d just think about how I’ve been hurt

如若你肯想想我這樣受傷

You’ll see love’s poison is worse than arsenic

你會知愛情毒於砒霜

How can you be at ease and not change to stay beautiful

你怎安心可不改漂亮

Imagine the nights we truly shared

怎想像 共你已同享多少很真確晚上

As I turn my head, after intimacy, I’m punished to leave

一轉頭 纏綿後要罰離場

Could it be that love, love, love, love, love — I’ve given up on love

難道 愛 愛 愛 愛 愛 我對愛情已死心

Desiring happiness, coldly dismissing, yet a kiss feels so real

貪高興狠心敷衍 一下卻逼真的親吻

Our ending is too terrible, unable to tell true from false love and hate

我們這結局太不堪 分不出真假的愛恨

It’s pointless — love, love, love, love, love — too overwhelming

無謂 愛 愛 愛 愛 愛 太過動魄驚心

I guess I misjudged this world and learned a lesson

我估錯這個世界得到教訓

How can I trust people? Why do I love you so much in my fate

怎相信人 命中怎麼愛著你為人

Seems like an illusion

彷似幻像

The love you gave me is like a toy, torn apart and turned to indifference

你給我的愛是玩具磨爛後變絕情

It's hard to endure this storm with no evidence of guilt

難為這洗劫永沒罪證

Parting is no crime, nor do I have the right to ask about your secrets

道別並無罪也沒權問你內情話

Farewell is no sin, no right to ask what's in your heart

難道 愛 愛 愛 愛 愛 我對愛情已死心

Could it be that love, love, love, love, love — I’ve given up on love

貪高興狠心敷衍 一下卻逼真的親吻

Desiring happiness, coldly dismissing, yet a kiss feels so real

我們這結局太不堪 分不出真假的愛恨

Our ending is too terrible, unable to tell true from false love and hate

無謂 愛 愛 愛 愛 愛 太過動魄驚心

It’s pointless — love, love, love, love, love — too overwhelming

我估錯這個世界得到教訓

I guess I misjudged this world and learned a lesson

怎相信人 命中怎麼愛著你為人

How can I trust people? Why do I love you so much in my fate

無謂 愛 愛 愛 愛 愛 (一起)

It’s pointless — love, love, love, love, love (together)

太過動魄驚心 (若像軟禁)

Too overwhelming — like being confined

我估錯這個世界得到教訓 (無疑離開)

I guess I misjudged this world and learned a lesson (definitely leaving)
