請你給我好一點的情敵

• By: 田馥甄
• Album: My Love

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

這已經不是我第一次聽到她的名字

This isn't the first time I've heard her name

你是我們共同愛上的浪子

You're the lost soul we both fell for

其實我並不真的在乎

Honestly, I don't really mind

與別人一起佔有你

Sharing you with someone else

我並不真的介意

I don't truly care

你的吻

Your kiss

也蓋著別人的印記

Still bears someone else's mark

...

...

如果這是你不能逃避的宿命

If this is the fate you can't escape

就請你給我好一點的情敵

Then please find me a better rival

至少讓我擁有競爭的樂趣

At least let me enjoy the thrill of competition

至少讓我相信

At least let me believe

被遺棄

Being abandoned

有被遺棄的道理

Makes sense to be abandoned

...

...

這已經不是我第一次聽到她的故事

This isn't the first time I've heard her story

你是我們共同愛上的主題

You are the shared theme we both love

其實我並不真的難過

Honestly, I don't feel sad

與他人一起分享所有

Sharing everything with someone else

我並不真的害怕

I'm not really afraid

你的愛

Of your love

左顧右盼牽牽掛掛

Looking around, feeling worried

如果這是你不能逃避的宿命

If this is the fate you can't escape

就請你給我好一點的情敵

Then please find me a better rival

至少讓我擁有競爭的樂趣

At least let me enjoy the thrill of competition

至少讓我相信

At least let me believe

被遺棄

Being abandoned

有被遺棄的道理

Makes sense to be abandoned

...

...

如果這是我不能躲閃的結局

If this is the ending I can't avoid

我只要求給我好一點的情敵

All I ask is for a better rival

至少讓我擁有完美的嫉妒

At least give me the perfect jealousy

至少讓我感覺

At least let me feel

有另一人

There's someone else

足以匹配我的孤獨

Enough to match my loneliness

...

...

我的孤獨

My loneliness

Da la da la da la

Da la da la da la

...

...

我的孤獨

My loneliness

...

...
