也許我不會活多一歲

• By: Dear Jane

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

也許我 不會活多一歲

Perhaps I won't live more than one year

這脆弱的身軀 不足遠征攀山涉水

This fragile body can't withstand great journeys or climb mountains and cross waters

也許我 不會活出金句

Maybe I won't create golden sayings

會白流著血淚 再被時代降罪

Blood and tears flow freely, condemned by the times again

每夜沉澱畏懼 百萬串的思緒

Every night I settle my fears, countless thoughts streaming

所有抉擇 難做對

All choices are hard to make right

得決定 無默許

Decisions are made without permission

不會 我不會空等

No, I won't wait around empty-handed

做個蠢人 也沒不忿

Being a fool doesn't mean I won't be upset

每道裂痕 裂入我心懲罰

Every crack pierces my heart with punishment

都想不枉此生

I want to live this life with no regrets

我只有堅持 這畢生缺陷

I can only insist on my life's imperfections

就算哭也是奢侈的放任

Even crying would be a luxury I indulge in

痛苦烙印 有幾個知音在共振

How many true friends resonate with my pain and scars

也許我 不算活得乾脆

Maybe I don't live completely honestly

每夜徒力抗睡 拒絕承認已累

Every night I struggle to stay awake, refusing to admit I am tired

會為成就顧慮 建自騙的堡壘

I worry about achievements, building castles of lies

這個世上 無絕對

There are no absolutes in this world

得性命 無或許

Life is uncertain, there are no guarantees

不會 我不會空等

No, I won't wait around empty-handed

做個蠢人 也沒不忿

Being a fool doesn't mean I won't be upset

每道裂痕 裂入我心懲罰

Every crack pierces my heart with punishment

都想不枉此生

I want to live this life with no regrets

我只有堅持 這畢生缺陷

I can only insist on my life's imperfections

就算哭也是 奢侈的放任

Even crying would be a luxury I indulge in

痛苦烙印 有幾個知音在共振

How many true friends resonate with my pain and scars

不行 誰有路不行 話意義失真

No way, anyone who has a path can't do it; words lose their meaning

哪一個狠心 哪一次消沉

Which heartless act, which moment of despair

哪一句傷人 哪一個蠢得信任信心

Which hurtful word, which foolish trust in confidence

誰負責任誰一生

Who's responsible, who's lived a lifetime

給我 最短瞬一生

Give me the briefest moment in life

做個蠢人 也沒不忿

Being a fool again doesn't mean I won't be upset

錯夢裡尋 我沒有的成份

Searching in false dreams for what I lack

都可睇清我根

You can see through my roots

我只有堅持 這畢生缺陷

I can only insist on my life's imperfections

就算不濟事 不屈得過分

Even if I fail or am excessively unyielding

我可面對 我的每一刻沒萬歲

I can face my every moment; there's no forever

我可面對 我今生沒下歲

I can face it—I won't see another year in my life
