聽爸爸的話 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

• By: 周杰倫

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

你聽爸爸的話 說我不是個好東西

You listen to Dad, he says I'm not a good person

送給你的花 不配放在你家花瓶裡

The flowers I gave you don't deserve to be in your vase

他要我越走越遠越好

He wants me to go as far away as possible

不要在一起那最好

It's best if we don't stay together

但我聽媽媽的話 要我不能輕易放棄

But I listen to Mom, she says I can't give up easily

還喜歡的話 讓我再追回你求求你

If you still like me, please let me chase you again, I beg you

難道你要我不孝順嗎?

Do you want me to be unfilial?

這是藉口你應該懂吧

This is an excuse, you should understand

...

...

你說 誰說 我說 我不愛了

You say, who says, I say, I don't love you anymore

胡說 瞎說 我習慣了

Nonsense, it's all nonsense, I've gotten used to it

那煙和酒也都戒了

I've quit smoking and drinking too

證明有多在乎你了

To prove how much I care about you

光上 一句我想你懂

Just one sentence, I hope you understand

我真的不太會說話

I'm really not good at expressing myself

你看你笑了吧

Look, you're smiling, right?

你說我算了吧

You say, just forget it

一個人的愛情很簡單

A person's love is simple

兩個人的相愛為什麼反而變得很難?

Why does loving each other become so difficult for two people?

我受夠我的愛你比較多

I've had enough of my love being more than yours

也受夠你的愛沉默很久

And I've had enough of your silence for so long

承諾太多 多少會錯

Too many promises, some are bound to go wrong

你寧願難過也不要有結果

You'd rather be sad than have no outcome

我受夠我的愛你比較多

I've had enough of my love being more than yours

倒不如回到從前的自由

It would be better to return to the freedom of the past

說好放手 誰先開口 沒有對錯

We agreed to let go, who speaks first, there's no right or wrong

反正花開了終究會落

Anyway, flowers bloom will eventually fall

你說 誰說 我說 我不愛了

You say, who says, I say, I don't love you anymore

Oh 我受夠我的愛你比較多

Oh, I've had enough of my love being more than yours
