Superwoman – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

Early in the morning, I put breakfast at your table

Early in the morning, I set breakfast on your table

一夜都沒睡但我 不曾如此清醒

Stayed up all night, but I feel more awake than ever

我早餐準備了你 愛吃的東西

I prepared your favorite breakfast

這次換我等你被咖啡 的香味叫醒

This time I wait for you, to be woken up by the smell of coffee

想要找回每天早晨 對我微笑著的你

Longing to bring back the mornings when you'd smile at me

還能夠 做些什麼代替我的歉意

And do something to make up for my apologies

總是望著我 小心翼翼 順著我呼吸

Always watching me, carefully, matching my every breath

而我竟然理所當然 讓你精疲力盡

And I took it for granted, leaving you exhausted

You were my superwoman

You were my superwoman

安靜的在身邊 無條件給我 夢寐以求的溫柔

Quietly by my side, giving me unconditional tenderness I dreamed of

But I am only human((可惜我只是一個人)

But I am only human (Unfortunately, I am just one person)

我怎麼不懂你多寂寞 殘忍的犯了錯

I don’t understand how lonely you are, I cruelly made a mistake

不能失去你 Ooh—Babe---

Cannot lose you, Ooh—Babe—

You fought your way through the rush hour

You fought your way through rush hour

Try to make it home just for me

Trying to get home just for me

月光下靜靜靠著彼此 只求夜長一點

Under the moonlight, quietly leaning on each other, wishing the night would last longer

有多久沒有好好看你 只是認定了我

How long has it been since I truly looked at you, just assuming it was enough

無論在什麼時候回頭 都有你的笑容

No matter when I turn around, your smile is always there

是我忽略了你也會有 想要哭的感覺

I overlooked that you also have moments when you want to cry

沒有一種付出應該永遠心甘情願

No act of love should ever be taken for granted

再給被寵壞的男人最後一次機會

Give the spoiled man one last chance

換我忍耐換我等待 不要真的棄權

Let me endure, wait, don’t really give up

(xlemuelx)是我把愛想得太簡單

(xlemuelx) I made loving you too simple

以為只要我存在就能讓你取暖

Thinking that as long as I exist, I can keep you warm

心裏唯一的superwoman沒有人能代替

The only superwoman in my heart, no one can replace

不能想像更不能原諒這樣讓愛化成 灰煙

Can't imagine, and can't forgive, love turned to ash and smoke

If you feel it in your heart and you understand me.

If you feel it in your heart and you understand me.

STOP right where you are, everybody sing along with me.

STOP right where you are, everybody sing along with me.
