Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我沒有我沒有沒有

I have nothing, I have nothing at all

從運氣到信心到天空宇宙全屬某某

From luck to confidence, to the sky and universe, all belong to someone

未明何處有售

No idea where it's sold

我沒有理會有沒有

I don't care whether I have it or not

連伴侶也要花費多幾倍力才望個夠

Even a partner requires twice the effort just to feel satisfied

但仍然難擁有

But still hard to hold onto

曾愛惜的總要放手

The things I cherish, I have to let go of

難接手的又來等候

What’s hard to grasp, I keep waiting

如我愛你你愛的他都要走

If I love you, he you love will have to leave

同樣犯不著哀求

No point in begging either

遺憾夠 還要去張開笑口

There's enough regret, yet I still try to smile

連夢裏也會覺得快樂難求

Even in dreams, happiness feels hard to find

連淚光都光不過黑夜盡頭

Even tears don't shine brighter than the night at the end

不過不過我不用難受

But still, I don't need to feel sad

像我對你也不敢講永久

Like I can't promise you forever

連天都知這瑣碎悲哀背後

Even the sky knows behind this trivial sorrow

一切都不算得罕有

That everything isn't truly rare

我沒有我沒有沒有

I have nothing, I have nothing at all

從樂趣到痛苦到悲歡愛恨全被折扣

From joy to pain, to happiness, love, and hate, all are discounted

亦沿門去聽候

Still waiting at the door

我沒有理會有沒有

I don't care whether I have it or not

連玩意也要花費多幾倍力才玩個夠

Even playing things requires twice the effort just to enjoy it

命途無奇不有

Fate is unpredictable

曾愛惜的總要放手

The things I cherish, I have to let go of

難接手的又來等候

What’s hard to grasp, I keep waiting

如我愛你你愛的他都要走

If I love you, he you love will have to leave

同樣犯不著哀求

No point in begging either

遺憾夠 還要去張開笑口

There's enough regret, yet I still try to smile

連夢裏也會覺得快樂難求

Even in dreams, happiness feels hard to find

連淚光都光不過黑夜盡頭

Even tears don't shine brighter than the night at the end

不過不過我不用難受

But still, I don't need to feel sad

像我對你也不敢講永久

Like I can't promise you forever

連天都知這瑣碎悲哀背後

Even the sky knows behind this trivial sorrow

Oh no 一切都不算得罕有

Oh no, everything isn't truly rare

夢裏也會覺得快樂難求

Even in dreams, happiness feels hard to find

連淚光都光不過黑夜盡頭

Even tears don't shine brighter than the night at the end

不過不過我不用難受

But still, I don't need to feel sad

像我對你也不敢講永久

Like I can't promise you forever

連天都知這瑣碎悲哀背後

Even the sky knows behind this trivial sorrow

一切都不算得罕有

That everything isn't truly rare

其實我跟你都不算得罕有

Actually, neither you nor I are truly rare
