Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

你的指甲 相當潔淨

Your nails are so clean

我很關注 瑣碎事情

I care about the small things

以 X 光眼睛 把你靈魂望到

Using X-ray eyes to see your soul

很透明

It's transparent

敏感的我 假裝冷靜

I, sensitive, pretend to be calm

内心充滿 對未來 不確定

Inside, full of uncertainty about the future

是否揀你 三千晚 循環驗証

Whether I choose you, testing through countless nights

仍然未決定

Still undecided

嫌的比愛的多 推比要的多

More critical than loving, demanding more than love

孤單一個 是這潔癖惹禍

Being alone is this obsessive compulsive trouble

凝望你離場

Watching you walk away

讓我很優雅 很優雅的折墮

Makes me look so elegant, gracefully falling apart

明知想這麽多 姿勢這麽多

Knowing I think so much, pose so many ways

幸福 都分到不多

Happiness is hardly shared

應該醒了吧

I should wake up now

除非有人 煩都不怕我

Unless someone’s not afraid of my fuss

...

...

我擔心到 三更半夜

Worried deep into the night

絕色的你 接受陽光照射

Your stunning self, accepting sunlight

缺點可會 遮不了 無權伴我

Can't hide flaws, no right to keep me company

同遊在舞榭

Walking together at the dance hall

嫌的比愛的多 推比要的多

More critical than loving, demanding more than love

孤單一個 是這潔癖惹禍

Being alone is this obsessive compulsive trouble

凝望你離場

Watching you walk away

讓我很優雅 很優雅的折墮

Makes me look so elegant, gracefully falling apart

明知想這麽多 姿勢這麽多

Knowing I think so much, pose so many ways

幸福 都分到不多

Happiness is hardly shared

單身一世吧

Being single forever

除非有人 煩都不怕我

Unless someone’s not afraid of my fuss

情願似白羊 似摩羯座

Willing to be like Aries or Capricorn

無謂纖細又 糾結像我

Fragile and tangled, just like me

想找人呵呵

I want to find someone to talk to

大眾偏說 尋求情人别揀我

People say, don't choose me as your lover

來首優雅悲歌 記錄我坎坷

Sing a sad, elegant song, recording my hardships

想不管了 為愛放膽惹禍

I want to give up, reckless for love

頭撞破離場

Breaking through the exit

仍能高貴地 優雅地再一個

Still able to stand tall, elegant, once again

誰都想計清楚 才最淒楚

Everyone wants clear plans, but that’s the saddest

問心 人誰又無過

Questioning my heart, who’s flawless?

污點怎漂白

How to bleach out stains

如果太煩 誰稀罕愛我

If it's too annoying, who cares if you love me

挑剔的結局

Criticizing endings

人間有人 還挑剔過我

Someone in this world still critiquing me

...

...
