Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

誰被灌醉

Who's gotten drunk

前面多少杯都吞了 我們沒有罪

We've swallowed so many drinks, but we’re not guilty

...

...

被挖取

Pierced open

遺下一顆心枯乾到 以為沒眼淚

Leaving behind a dry, withered heart, thinking there's no tears

得不到蒼天允許

Unable to get Heaven's permission

我與你多少次散聚

How many times have I and you parted and met again

我 猶疑地望向你

I hesitantly look at you

天花將剝落誓言 床驟變荒地

The ceiling peels off promises, the bed suddenly turns to a wasteland

酒精再滲入淚痕 沉默到對不起

Alcohol seeps into tear stains, leaving me silent and apologetic

這一雙手卑鄙到 抱住你

These hands are so wicked, yet they hold you

...

...

還未看開 還在等花開

Still haven't moved on, still waiting for the flowers to bloom

請相信 我們是意外

Please believe, we are an accident

好不好率先節哀

Can we be the first to mourn?

我與你將遭到殺害

You and I will face destruction

我（我）猶疑地望向你

I hesitantly look at you

天花將剝落誓言 床驟變荒地

The ceiling peels off promises, the bed suddenly turns to a wasteland

酒精再滲入淚痕 沉默到對不起

Alcohol seeps into tear stains, silent to the point of apology

這一雙手卑鄙到

These hands are so wicked

可將你放於舌上純熟地讚美

Yet they can skillfully praise you on the tongue

當天一光 終於要抉擇便放棄

When the dawn arrives, finally making a choice and then giving up

...

...

我 無名份送給你

I have no claim to give you

委身於災難現場 誰沒有準備

Resigned to the disaster site, who is truly prepared

即使再過萬萬年 還是說對不起

Even after countless thousands of years, I still say I'm sorry

這一雙手始終會 放下你

These hands will always let you go

你知不知你是 禁忌

Don't you know, you're forbidden?

...

...
