Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

如果需要耗光最後積蓄

If I have to burn my last savings

才可得到 你的半張感動眉目

Just to gain a glimpse of your tender face

捱多少的苦 我都不會哭

No matter how much pain I endure, I won’t cry

這個世界裡我太渺小 生命在融掉

In this world, I’m so small, my life keeps melting away

無心看戰亂有多少

Unintentionally watching the chaos, how much does it matter

甚麼比你的緊要

What’s more important than you

努力不懈 愛便生還 我為你何妨上刀山

Never giving up, love will survive, I don’t mind climbing mountains for you

不管已用幾年時間 一刻躲懶 情便永不返

No matter how many years it takes or how lazy I get, love will never fade

帶著傷患 最後生還 我願意受多少的白眼

Carrying wounds, surviving to the end, I’m willing to face every scorn

知道感情來得艱難 疲倦也好我不敢眨眼

Knowing love is hard, but even tired, I dare not blink

情海翻波簡單過壞燈膽

The sea of love surges—simple to break a dim lamp

如不珍惜你一切 結果怎去承擔

If I don’t cherish everything about you, how can I bear the outcome

假使單方心淡 會是個災難

If affection fades, it will be a disaster

這個世界裡我太渺小 生命在融掉

In this world, I’m so small, my life keeps melting away

無心看戰亂有多少

Unintentionally watching the chaos, how much does it matter

為你任何事情亦困擾

Anything for you causes me trouble

努力不懈 愛便生還 我為你何妨上刀山

Never giving up, love will survive, I don’t mind climbing mountains for you

不管已用幾年時間 一刻躲懶 情便永不返

No matter how many years it takes or how lazy I get, love will never fade

帶著傷患 最後生還 我願意受多少的白眼

Carrying wounds, surviving to the end, I’m willing to face every scorn

為求留住臂彎 每時每刻不敢怠慢 我怕看漏眼

To stay in your arms, I never slack off—afraid to miss a single detail

如熱愛被我親手割爛 較沒有更慘

If love is torn apart by my own hands, it’s even worse

無論資質有限 我盡全力不減

No matter how limited my talent, I give my all and don’t reduce my efforts

努力不懈 愛便生還 我為你何妨上刀山

Never giving up, love will survive, I don’t mind climbing mountains for you

不管已用幾年時間 一刻躲懶 情便永不返

No matter how many years it takes or how lazy I get, love will never fade

帶著傷患 最後生還 我願意受多少的白眼

Carrying wounds, surviving to the end, I’m willing to face every scorn

失去感情財產 時間便過得慢 永久是夜晚

Losing love and possessions, time moves so slow, night feels eternal
