Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我哀不哀怨 我閒也沒閒

Am I resentful or not? I'm never free.

每當人說強悍的女人多美 我總看不見

Whenever people say strong women are beautiful, I just don't see it.

贏了不值錢 我還是要臉

Winning is worthless, I still have my pride.

我要一張光鮮俗豔 一張值得同情的臉

I want a face that's glamorous and gaudy, and a face that deserves pity.

Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

兩份愛 兩份尊嚴 兩個論點

Two loves, two dignities, two viewpoints.

斷幾萬條紅線 可惜了時間

Severing tens of thousands of red threads, what a waste of time.

兩份愛 一份合約 一個屋簷

Two loves, one contract, one roof.

剩幾萬個爭辯 你死我活到哪天

Left with tens of thousands of arguments, when will this life-or-death battle end?

Yeah hey yeah

枉費了

What a waste of

我們倆的厚臉皮

Our thick skin

我們倆的渡假之約

Our vacation plan

機票都快過期

The plane tickets are almost expired

熱情都快耗盡

The passion is almost exhausted

我們倆的厚臉皮

Our thick skin

我們積累的怨氣

The resentment we've accumulated

燒 乾燒到午夜

Burning, burning dry until midnight

兩份愛 兩份尊嚴 兩個論點

Two loves, two dignities, two viewpoints.
