Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

為何要落淚 落淚仍要一個面對 無謂的負累

Why do we have to cry? Even when we cry, we still have to face it. Such pointless burdens.

怎麼不忍失去 其實我不怪誰 在你掌心裡

How can I bear to lose? Honestly, I don’t blame anyone — I hold it in your palm.

偏偏我要孤單的寄居

Yet I choose to dwell in loneliness.

為何要恐懼 寂寞時欠一個伴侶 甜蜜中受罪

Why fear loneliness? Missing a partner when alone — suffering in sweetness.

怎麼講都不對 無論你想愛誰 在你掌握裡

No matter what I say, it’s never right. No matter who you want to love, it’s in your control.

我熱情隨時在手裡

My passion’s always within reach.

誰也知 夜夜與她那內情 可惜我瞎了眼睛

Everyone knows, every night with her — her secrets. Sadly, I was blind.

真相 那須說明 而我卻哼不出半聲

The truth — it should be clear. But I can’t even hum a single note.

誰也知 夜夜與她那內情 甘心去做你佈景

Everyone knows, every night with her — her secrets. I’m willing to be just your backdrop.

得到 你的愛情 還要再得到你任性

Getting your love, yet needing to endure your caprice.

為何要恐懼 寂寞時欠一個伴侶 甜蜜中受罪

Why fear loneliness? Missing a partner when alone — suffering in sweetness.

怎麼講都不對 無論你想愛誰 在你掌握裡

No matter what I say, it’s never right. No matter who you want to love, it’s in your control.

我熱情隨時在手裡

My passion’s always within reach.

誰也知 夜夜與她那內情 可惜我瞎了眼睛

Everyone knows, every night with her — her secrets. Sadly, I was blind.

真相 那須說明 而我卻哼不出半聲

The truth — it should be clear. But I can’t even hum a single note.

誰也知 夜夜與她那內情 甘心去做你佈景

Everyone knows, every night with her — her secrets. I’m willing to be just your backdrop.

得到 你的愛情 還要再得到你任性

Getting your love, yet needing to endure your caprice.

誰也知 夜夜與她那內情 可惜我瞎了眼睛

誰也知 夜夜與她那內情 甘心去做你佈景

Everyone knows, every night with her — her secrets. I’m willing to be just your backdrop.

得到 你的愛情 還要再得到你任性

Getting your love, yet needing to endure your caprice.

一切 原是註定 因我跟你都任性

Everything was predestined — because both you and I are stubborn.

一切 原是註定 因我跟你都任性

Everything was predestined — because both you and I are stubborn.
