親愛的仇人 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

為何到了要放手的時份

Why is it at the moment I should let go

才來挽救極熟悉的遺憾

That I come to save the familiar regret

若我真的把握機會過

If I truly seized the chance to move on

難堪的應該不是我

It wouldn't be me who felt embarrassed

連續反問 還未甘心

Continuously asking back, still not willing to accept

無從作答你已走先來問

No answer, you’ve already left, coming to ask me

為何每次面對面會反感

Why do I feel uncomfortable every time we face each other

受過不知天高的悶棍

Hit by some ignorant, crushing blow

孩子一般低級的怒憤

Like a child's immature anger

其實憎恨 難敵光陰

Honestly, hatred is no match for time

何苦昨日愚昧留下明日虧欠

Why cling to yesterday's foolishness and leave tomorrow in debt

如若我寬厚些便把冷戰避免

If I were a bit more generous, I could avoid the cold war

頭的角被磨滑變得不再討厭

The horns on my head, worn down and no longer annoying

無奈已走 再見都徒然

Powerless now that you've gone, saying goodbye is just pointless

強硬到分離先改變

Being so tough that separation has to come first and change

...

...

明明有過最美好的緣份

We once shared the most beautiful fate

為何對你用語是最兇狠

Why do I speak to you so harshly

挖個空空深淵中自困

Digging myself into a deep, empty abyss

寧願憎得天昏跟地暗

Would rather curse the darkness and the gloomy sky

其實親近 但繼續等

Actually, being close, yet still waiting

何苦昨日愚昧留下明日虧欠

Why leave tomorrow in debt over yesterday’s foolishness

如若我寬厚些便把冷戰避免

If I were more generous, I could avoid the cold war

頭的角被磨滑變得不再討厭

The horns on my head, worn down and no longer annoying

無奈已走 再見都徒然

Powerless now that you've gone, saying goodbye is just pointless

強硬到分離先改變

Being so tough that separation has to come first and change

...

...

這一點發洩與烈焰

This outpouring and fiery blaze

多一點世故也是歷練

A little more worldly wisdom is just experience

如果痛恨還是原諒懸在一線

If hatred still remains, forgiveness hangs by a thread

誰又要親愛的愛得太過內斂

Who else would love too secretly, dear

情願掛念仍是你的親切的臉

Willing to miss you, still your gentle face

時日帶走 最愛的仇人

Time takes away my most loved enemy

曾被你激情的感染

Once touched by your passionate love

曾是最溫柔的苦戰

Once the gentlest battle of pain

...
