Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我知你想走

I know you want to leave

因爱得我未够

Because my love isn't enough

明知你觉得

Knowing you feel

玩厌时候万样借口

Once you're tired, with a thousand excuses

曾听你说我姊妹

I heard you say my sister

过分卖力便是爱尽头

Overdoing it is the end of love

这种爱没法接受

This kind of love is hard to accept

我知没了电

I know it's out of power

因你一向善变

Because you're always so unpredictable

明显我信得到爱情后

Clearly, I believe in love after

便大过天

It’s bigger than the sky

谁知你懒去检点

Who knew you’re careless in checking yourself

我像卖艺卖尽我笑脸

I sell my smiles as if I’ve sold my art

原谅也徒然我太犯贱

Forgiveness is futile, I’m too foolish

你未道别便爱多天

You loved me for days without saying goodbye

痛恨你这情人非好情人

Hating you, this lover’s not a good lover

你闲来出手勾引

You casually flirt around

如今教我惊震

Now you surprise me

被你热吻是狂卖性感

Kissing you passionately, shamelessly sexy

梦中情人极好品

My ideal lover, truly fine

我误信我靠真心改变缘份

I wrongly believed sincerity could change fate

我也真太笨

I’m just too stupid

无能为力也苦吻

Unable to resist your fierce kisses

已经没眼泪

No more tears left

恋爱非错便对

Loving isn’t wrong, it’s right

明知与你相恋多长命

Knowing how long this love will last

亦未会娶

But I’ll never marry

曾听说你那颗心爱定事业

Heard you love your career the most

现在有着谁其实当玩具

Now, with someone, but really just playing

偶尔玩累再遇玩具便会想追

Sometimes tired of playing, I chase after new toys

痛恨你这情人非好情人

Hating you, this lover’s not a good lover

你闲来出手勾引

You flirt around casually

如今教我惊震

Now you surprise me

被你热吻是狂卖性感

Kissing you passionately, shamelessly sexy

梦中情人极好品

My ideal lover, truly fine

我误信我靠真心改变缘份

I wrongly believed sincerity could change fate

就是被狂吻

Just being kissed fiercely

情人同样变心

Lovers also change their minds

我让我得到却未到

What I got, I haven’t fully had

令我更相信漫游花都无芳草

Leading me to believe wandering in the floral city has no fragrance

痛恨你这情人非好情人

Hating you, this lover’s not a good lover

你闲来出手勾引

You flirt around casually

如今教我惊震

Now you surprise me

被你热吻是狂卖性感

Kissing you passionately, shamelessly sexy

梦中情人极好品

My ideal lover, truly fine

我误信我靠真心改变缘份

I wrongly believed sincerity could change fate

就是被狂吻

Just being kissed fiercely

情人同样变心

Lovers also change their minds

我让我得到却未到

What I got, I haven’t fully had

令我更相信漫游花都无芳草

Leading me to believe wandering in the floral city has no fragrance

我哭泣喝著醋

I cry and sip my vinegar
