小謊言 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

最怕執起冷箭 刺穿謊言

Most afraid of picking up cold arrows, piercing through lies

更怕撕開美滿 光影背面

Even more afraid of tearing open the beautiful, bright side of things

往事如影 隨心 已偷走七年

Past events are like shadows, following my heart, stealing away seven years

冷雨滔天 難清洗汚點

The cold rain is torrential, hard to wash away the stains

最痛不敢再見 卻偏思念

The greatest pain is not daring to see you again, yet still missing you

更痛彼此有約 不可兑現

Even more painful is having a promise with each other that can't be fulfilled

要是回歸原點 再相知一遍

If we return to the starting point, and get to know each other again

會笑一聲 還是淚流遍

Will we laugh it off, or will tears stream down our faces

原諒再赦免自己 找到放下的勇氣

Forgive and pardon myself, find the courage to let go

而無論再痛記憶 都有著和暖滋味

And no matter how painful the memories, they all have a warm taste

成熟了辨別是非 改寫我日記

Having matured, I distinguish right from wrong, rewriting my diary

共你相對 不合情理

Being with you is unreasonable

縱未完美 有缺陷美

Even if it's not perfect, there's imperfect beauty

...

...

那個出於疼愛 細小謊言

That small lie born out of affection

那次出於鬥氣 誇張冷面

That exaggerated cold face born out of a fit of pique

往事情遷 無需 再解釋一遍

Past events have moved on, no need to explain it again

以免彼此 無事淚流遍

Lest we both shed tears for nothing

原諒再赦免自己 找到放下的勇氣

Forgive and pardon myself, find the courage to let go

而無論再痛記憶 都有著和暖滋味

And no matter how painful the memories, they all have a warm taste

成熟了辨別是非 改寫我日記

Having matured, I distinguish right from wrong, rewriting my diary

共你相對 不合情理

Being with you is unreasonable

縱未完美 也有福氣

Even if it's not perfect, I am blessed

重頭地珍惜身邊一個你

To cherish the one beside me again

日子追不返 未來時間 要覺悟前非

The days cannot be chased back, in the future, I must awaken to my past mistakes

原諒再赦免自己 找到放下的勇氣

Forgive and pardon myself, find the courage to let go

而無論再痛記憶 都有著和暖滋味

And no matter how painful the memories, they all have a warm taste

成熟了辨別是非 改寫我日記

Having matured, I distinguish right from wrong, rewriting my diary

共你相對 不合情理

Being with you is unreasonable

縱未完美 有缺陷美

Even if it's not perfect, there's imperfect beauty
