Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

長時間並無大突破

There haven't been any big breakthroughs for a long time.

差了什麼 一拖再拖

What am I missing? We keep delaying and dragging things out.

請問如何令你喜歡我

Please tell me, how can I make you like me?

從來我並無動搖過

I've never wavered before.

換禮物 所有花都送過

Gave gifts, all the flowers I could find.

感動一下有麼

Did I move you even a little?

孤獨再多 無回報亦不錯

No matter how lonely, it's okay without rewards.

無緣者姑息我或拒絕我

Those with no fate might pity me or reject me.

同情我變了你負荷

Sympathy turns into your burden.

朋友是 朋友吧

Are friends just friends?

和你身份不進化

Our identities haven’t evolved.

也許這一世都這樣嗎

Maybe it’s like this for the whole life?

如果你愛他 沒說話

If you love him, just keep quiet.

我等你某天出嫁

I’ll wait for you to get married someday.

然後我送上賀吻

Then I’ll send my good wishes and kisses.

親密無奈最多一剎那

Intimacy, but it’s just a fleeting moment.

情人節又來第十個

Another Valentine’s Day, the tenth one.

高興什麼 給他去跟你過

Why be happy? Let him be with you.

請勿希冀太多

Don’t hope too much.

開玩笑麼 何曾你屬於我

Are you joking? Have you ever belonged to me?

重頭選一位快樂會更多

Just choose someone happy, there will be more.

唯獨你佔領我心窩

Only you occupy my heart.

朋友是 朋友吧

Are friends just friends?

和你身份不進化

Our identities haven’t evolved.

也許這一世都這樣嗎

Maybe it’s like this for the whole life?

如果你愛他 沒說話

If you love him, just keep quiet.

我等你某天出嫁

I’ll wait for you to get married someday.

然後我送上賀吻

Then I’ll send my good wishes and kisses.

親密無奈最多一剎那

Intimacy, but it’s just a fleeting moment.

難道你到八十歲至收我的花

Could you wait until you're eighty to receive my flowers?

情侶是 情侶吧

Are lovers just lovers?

難以將身份降價

Hard to lower the status.

你好心婉拒不傷大雅

You politely refuse without hurting dignity.

如可以放手 定退下

If I could let go, I would step back.

都只怪我的牽掛

It’s all because of my attachment.

延續到你八十歲

Extending until you're eighty years old.

到記憶今天都比較差 再會嗎

Today’s memories are fading; shall we meet again?
