我不是偉人 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

不肯祝你兩人戀愛愉快

I'm not willing to wish you two a happy love

是否很古怪 要去肢解

Isn't it strange? Wanting to dissect it apart

舊情人即使假裝好友狀態

Even if an ex-lover pretends to be just a friend

誰又希罕我賣口乖

Who cares if I act sweet or obedient

肯祝福你有如肯放下你

Willing to bless you is like letting go of you

還是肯寬恕 對我不起

Or willing to forgive, even if it hurts me

未別離 花光好心地去待你

Never truly parting, pouring my good heart out to wait for you

留下的骨氣 還是想刻骨至死

The pride I keep still wants to be carved into my bones until death

無法死心 忘掉自私非愛人

Unable to let go, forgetting that selfishness isn't love

還有私心 仍能令你為我牽掛餘生

Still harboring selfishness, still making you worry about me for the rest of your life

偉大到自卑也是人

Great enough that even feeling inferior is human

無法誠懇豁達做偉人

Unable to sincerely be open-minded and noble to be a hero

恕我狠心 無限大方非愛人

Forgive my ruthlessness, unlimited generosity isn't love

還有真心 才難偽裝自己遮蓋良心

Only with sincerity is it hard to fake oneself and cover the conscience

你就當我小氣殘忍

Just think I’m petty and cruel

餘情未了 總有記恨 我講真

Unfinished feelings, always harboring resentment, I tell the truth

...

...

真想不到你如此看重我

I never imagined you’d value me so much

難道祝福你 你更好過

Could it be that blessing you makes you better off?

我為何必須扭曲本性做我

Why must I distort my nature and be myself

難道委屈我來為你點播情歌

Is it that I have to sing love songs for you out of grievance?

如要講真 忘掉自私非愛人

Honestly, forgetting that selfishness isn't love

還有私心 仍能令你為我牽掛餘生

Still harboring selfishness, still making you worry about me for the rest of your life

偉大到自卑也是人

Great enough that even feeling inferior is human

無法誠懇豁達做偉人

Unable to sincerely be open-minded and noble to be a hero

恕我狠心 無限大方非愛人

Forgive my ruthlessness, unlimited generosity isn't love

還有真心 才難偽裝自己遮蓋良心

Only with sincerity is it hard to fake oneself and cover the conscience

我待你曾恩厚像神

I once cherished you like a god

然而為愛總有記恨 我講真

But love always leaves some resentment, I tell the truth

無法死心 忘掉自私非愛人

Unable to let go, forgetting that selfishness isn't love

還有私心 仍能令你為我牽掛餘生

Still harboring selfishness, still making you worry about me for the rest of your life

偉大到自卑也是人

Great enough that even feeling inferior is human

無法誠懇豁達做個偉人

Unable to sincerely be open-minded and noble to be a hero

恕我狠心 無限大方非愛人

Forgive my ruthlessness, unlimited generosity isn't love

還有真心 才難偽裝自己遮蓋良心

Only with sincerity is it hard to fake oneself and cover the conscience

你就當我小氣殘忍

You can think I’m petty and cruel

從前絕配 不夠道行 變配襯

Once perfectly matched, but lacked the virtue to stay together, now just a suitable match

...
