無賴 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我間中飲醉酒 很喜歡自由

I sometimes get drunk, love freedom

常犯錯愛說謊 但總會内疚

Often make mistakes, love to lie, but I always feel guilty

遇過很多的損友 學到貪新厭舊

Have met many friends of convenience, learned to crave new and despise old

亦欠過很多女人

Owe a lot to women too

怕結婚只會守 三分鐘諾言

Afraid of marriage, only keep three-minute promises

曾話過要戒煙 但講了就算

Once said I’d quit smoking, but when I talk, it’s just words

夢與想丢低很遠 但對返工厭倦

Dreams and hopes have been cast aside far away, but I’m tired of work

自小不會打算

I never planned since I was young

但是仍唯獨你愛我這廢人

But still, you’re the only one who loves this loser

出錯你都肯去忍

You’re willing to forgive my mistakes

然而誰亦早知不會合襯

Though everyone else knew we’d never fit

偏偏你願意等

Still, you’re willing to wait

爲何還喜歡我 我這種無賴

Why do you still like me, this ruffian

是話你蠢還是很偉大

Is it that you’re stupid, or that you’re truly great

在座每位都将我踩 口碑有多壞

Everyone here looks down on me, how bad is my reputation

但你亦永遠不見怪

But you never blame me

何必跟我 我這種無賴

Why bother with me, this useless guy

活大半生還是很失敗

Living most of my life in failure

但是你死都不變心 跟我笑着捱

But you never turn away, keep smiling through with me

就算壞 我也不忍心 偷偷作怪

Even if I’m bad, I can’t bring myself to do harm secretly

沒有根的野草 飄忽的命途

Like a weed without roots, drifting through life

誰像你當我寶 什麽也做到

Who would treat me like treasure, able to do everything

舊愛數足一匹布 在這刻寫句号

Old loves have worn out a whole cloth, now it’s the end

只想跟你終老

All I want is to grow old with you

在地球唯獨你愛我這廢人

You’re the only one on Earth who loves this useless me

出錯你都肯去忍

You forgive my mistakes

然而誰亦早知不會合襯

Though everyone else knew we’d never fit

偏偏你願意等

Still, you’re willing to wait

爲何還喜歡我 我這種無賴

Why do you still like me, this ruffian

是話你蠢還是很偉大

Is it that you’re stupid, or that you’re truly great

在座每位都将我踩 口碑有多壞

Everyone here looks down on me, how bad is my reputation

但你亦永遠不見怪

But you never blame me

何必跟我 我這種無賴

Why bother with me, this useless guy

活大半生還是很失敗

Living most of my life in failure

但是你死都不變心 跟我笑着捱

But you never turn away, keep smiling through with me

就算壞 我也不忍心

Even if I’m bad, I can’t bring myself to do harm secretly

還喜歡我 我這種無賴

You still love me, this ruffian

是話你蠢還是很偉大

Is it that you’re stupid, or that you’re truly great

在座每位都将我踩 口碑有多壞

Everyone here looks down on me, how bad is my reputation

但你亦永遠不見怪

But you never blame me

何必跟我 我這種無賴

Why bother with me, this useless guy

活大半生還是很失敗

Living most of my life in failure

但是你死都不變心 跟我拼命捱

But you’re willing to fight through with me to the end

換轉别個 也不忍心 偷偷作怪

If I switch to someone else, I still can’t bring myself to do harm secretly
