Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

循環一首歌曲聽到要落淚

Looping a song until I cry

一樽酒精乾了半入睡

A bottle of alcohol, half-drunk into sleep

慘戚戚的感覺太累贅

This miserable feeling is too burdensome

遺言筆筆生花遮蓋了恐懼

Words like flowers cover up the fear

有個你從回憶中死去

You are dying from my memories

傷口瘡疤給你當玩具

Turning scars into toys for you

留在過去 不堪追的也要追

Staying in the past, chasing after even the unbearable

停在那裡 那裡令你更空虛

Stopping there, where it makes you even more empty

你卻偏偏甘心寄居

Yet you willingly reside there

如無力挽回要懂得放手

If you can't salvage it, learn to let go

逝別了的人再不可擁有

The departed can never be possessed again

仍能在往後日子學懂珍惜

Still, in the days to come, learn to cherish

念在愛你的 別叫他難受

For the sake of those who love you, don't make them suffer

為你已經失去了的復仇

Avenge what you've already lost

難為父母親哀悼命中僅有

Making it hard for parents to mourn their only child

無力讓光陰折返 別徒添內疚

Unable to turn back time, don't add to the guilt

彌留悲哀之中可以叫浪漫

Calling grief in dying moments romantic

變了厭世無法不掌摑

Turning into misanthropy, unable to not slap myself

怎麼忍心觀看你腐爛

How can I bear to watch you decay?

遺憾已晚 哭泣聲不夠壯膽

Regret is too late, weeping isn't brave enough

前事已過 你也別妄想推翻

The past is done, don't try to overturn it

從今開始不讓憾事循環

From now on, don't let regrets repeat

如無力挽回要懂得放手

If you can't salvage it, learn to let go

逝別了的人再不可擁有

The departed can never be possessed again

仍能在往後日子學懂珍惜

Still, in the days to come, learn to cherish

念在愛你的 別叫他難受

For the sake of those who love you, don't make them suffer

為你已經失去了的復仇

Avenge what you've already lost

難為父母親哀悼命中僅有

Making it hard for parents to mourn their only child

無力讓光陰折返 便尋個出口

Unable to turn back time, then find an exit

如能在過程裡 參悟另一種祝福

If in the process, you can understand another kind of blessing

彎彎腰笑納這段變幻人生 不會那樣痛

Bow down and accept this changing life with a smile, it won't hurt so much

賠了太好 期待更好

Lost too much, hoping for better

誰人為愛情劃穿這對手

Who carved this pair of hands for love?

在劇痛之餘戒不掉哀愁

Unable to shake off the sorrow after the extreme pain

誰人被痛斥就想跳出窗口

Who wants to jump out the window when scolded?

盛怒那秒鐘 沒有想然後

Didn't think about the consequences in that moment of anger

若你覺得走到世間盡頭

If you feel like you've reached the end of the world

時辰未夠早拋下良朋密友

It's too early to abandon your friends

無力讓光陰折返 面前一樣有

Unable to turn back time, there's still something in front of you

若然你不走

If you don't leave
