雙冠軍 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

人人都講 即管相愛 只要愛 永不怕難題

Everyone says, just love openly, as long as love, never fears challenges

為何今天 終於跟你 全力在維繫

Why today, finally, I’m doing everything to hold on to you

既未變心 亦無越軌 應廝守半世

I haven't changed my heart, nor crossed the line, we should guard this love for a lifetime

何以事變 不依最初 設計

Why do things change, not respecting the original plans

同床的 所相信的 不似你 像兩股風勢

What you believe in lying together is not like you, more like two opposing winds

憑情感 可不可以 將信仰 融合於一體

Can emotions truly merge faith into one

只要認錯 犯錯不是問題

As long as we admit mistakes, making errors isn't a problem

誰這樣說的 未明瞭實際

Who said that? Not understanding the truth

我永遠愛你 但我未能 投降 讓步 答允

I will love you forever, but I can't give in, make concessions, or promise

我永遠愛你 亦不可以 放棄思想 去贊同你見解

I will love you forever, but I can't abandon my thoughts to agree with your views

胸襟 試過無數犧牲

My heart has endured countless sacrifices

很少糾紛 夠豁達 容納兩人 有雙冠軍

Rare to have conflicts, being open-minded enough for two to share a true love

傳來新聞 出兵開戰 得你說 會解困扶危

News arrived, soldiers set out to fight, you said you would help and support in difficult times

...

...

全球升溫 傷不到你 談論亦無謂

Global warming, won't hurt you, talking about it is pointless

聽着這種口脗 如何扮附和同意

Listening to these words, how can I pretend to agree

就算極愛 不可強忍 到底

Even if I love deeply, I can't hold it in, after all

明明知 斗膽脫口 反駁你 逐句都統計

Clearly aware, daring to speak out, contradicting you, every sentence carefully considered

猶如將 夭心夭肺 的芥蒂 培植於心底

Like planting bitter feelings deep in my heart

今次讓你 又有幾樣後遺

This time, how many lingering effects will there be

曾試着了解 十年全白費

Tried to understand, ten years all wasted

我永遠愛你 但我未能 投降 讓步 答允

I will love you forever, but I can't give in, make concessions, or promise

我永遠愛你 但這一對 好勝的心 永遠無法制止

I will love you forever, but this competitive heart can never be stopped

相爭 叫愛情太傷感

Fighting too hurt love

很多東西 那價值 難被愛人 徹底軟禁

Many things, their value, cannot be fully controlled by the one I love

我永遠愛你 但我未能 投降 讓步 答允

I will love you forever, but I can't give in, make concessions, or promise

我永遠愛你 亦不可以 放棄思想 去贊同你見解

I will love you forever, but I can't abandon my thoughts to agree with your views

胸襟 試過無數犧牲

My heart has endured countless sacrifices

很多糾紛 有勝負 難讓我們 有雙冠軍

Many conflicts, victory and defeat, make it hard for us to be real champions
