偽映畫預告 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

戲碼已一早拍攝

The scene has already been shot early on

那時沉迷愛 才想剪輯片段

Back then, obsessed with love, I wanted to edit the clips

性格也可一再變

Personalities can change over and over again

沒完整播放的不需要說穿

If a part wasn’t fully played, there’s no need to clarify

想愛個夠 唯求加快節奏

Want to love enough, only rushing the rhythm

金句說夠 才能拖緊你手

Saying the golden lines just to hold on tighter

Wooo 承諾對白 通通借口

Wooo, promises and words, all just excuses

交不出戲 無力共當初對比

Can't deliver the act, powerless compared to the past

劇都透了 亦花透了運氣

The show’s over, even luck has run out

留低一身痛悲

Leaving behind a body full of pain and sorrow

吞聲忍氣 纏綿後問句滿地

Silent and patient, after all the passion, questions fill the ground

為何 時日漸過後 尋回自我後

Why, after the passing of time, when I find myself again,

心會死

Will the heart die?

而預告內容 早已被忘記

And the trailer content has already been forgotten

突然就此爛尾

Suddenly, it all ends in a messy way

說過缺點都會戒

Said I’d stop the flaws, but it’s just words

那時全胡說 如今只得挫敗

Back then, everything was nonsense; now, only frustration remains

怕你有一天責怪

Afraid you might someday blame me

現時耗盡耐性 早已太鬆懈

Now I’ve lost patience, already too relaxed

忍夠了我 埋頭數算過錯

Enduring enough, I start counting my mistakes

忍到最尾 迎來很多風波

Suffered till the very end, facing many storms

Wooo 錯在真話不多

Wooo, the mistake is that the truth is too little

無奈交不出戲 無力共當初對比

Unable to deliver the act, powerless compared to the past

劇都透了 亦花透了運氣

The show’s over, even luck has run out

留低一身痛悲

Leaving behind a body full of pain and sorrow

吞聲忍氣 纏綿後問句滿地

Silent and patient, after all the passion, questions fill the ground

為何 時日漸過後 尋回自我後

Why, after the passing of time, when I find myself again,

心會死

Will the heart die?

而預告內容 早已被忘記

And the trailer content has already been forgotten

突然就此爛尾

Suddenly, it all ends in a wreck

精彩不過預告 改寫不了命途

The excitement is just the trailer; fate can’t be rewritten

如何從頭熱戀再上訴

How to fall in love again from the start and appeal?

很想可以劃去你我的句號 oh...

Really wish we could erase our final words, oh...

寧願不多吞吐

I’d rather not swallow so much

寧願錯事能盡訴

I’d rather let all mistakes be fully told

再跳半段圓舞

Then dance another round

不想交戲 無力共當初對比

Don’t want to deliver the act, powerless compared to the past

是出過錯 但都有愛着你

There were mistakes, but I loved you all along

才想找出轉機

That’s why I want to find a turning point

不懂處理 才遺下問句滿地

Not knowing how to handle it left questions everywhere

但求不會放下你

All I want is to never let go of you

但求不會放下我 仍是你

All I ask is to never let go of me, it’s still you

而預告內容 早已被忘記

And the trailer content has already been forgotten

但仍是不願捨棄

But still, I’m unwilling to give up
