餘震

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

離去的 如廢墟中得救光榮地脫身

The departure, like a rescued light in ruins, escapes with honor

遺棄的 任水深跟火熱撲向一個人

Abandoned, water deep and fire hot, rushing toward one person

共妳再戀早知是餘震 讓重傷的心再添缺憾

Reunion with you, I knew it was an aftershock, hurting my wounded heart with regret

還剩低的寄望最後也犧牲

Remaining hopes are sacrificed in the end

妳的吻 像龍捲風吹過 怎可對抗這吸引

Your kiss, like a typhoon wind, how can I resist this attraction?

身貼身 如海嘯沖擊我 使我向下沉

Close to skin, like a tidal wave hitting me, making me sink down

再走近 是我完全難自禁

Moving closer, I can't completely control myself

就算知道實在太愚笨 到底一刻也算是緣份

Even knowing it's foolish, yet even for a moment, I believe it's destiny

天地淪陷 餘震是痛苦中 一絲興奮

The world collapses, the aftershock brings a flicker of excitement amid pain

...

...

懷緬的 如美景一幅那災情未發生

Memories, like a beautiful landscape before disaster strikes

期盼的 是彼此不傷害卻已不可能

Hopes, that we wouldn’t harm each other, but now it's impossible

共妳再戀早知是餘震 讓重傷的心再添缺憾

Reunion with you, I knew it was an aftershock, hurting my wounded heart with regret

還剩低的寄望最後也犧牲

Remaining hopes are sacrificed in the end

妳的吻 像龍捲風吹過 怎可對抗這吸引

Your kiss, like a typhoon wind, how can I resist this attraction?

身貼身 如海嘯沖擊我 使我向下沉

Close to skin, like a tidal wave hitting me, making me sink down

再走近 是我完全難自禁

Moving closer, I can't completely control myself

就算知道實在太愚笨 到底一刻也算是緣份

Even knowing it's foolish, yet for a moment, I believe it's destiny

仍然願靠近 誰又理朦朧夜裡 天沉地暗

Still willing to get close, who cares in the blurry night, the sky darkens the earth

妳的吻 像龍捲風吹過 怎可對抗這吸引

Your kiss, like a typhoon wind, how can I resist this attraction?

身貼身 如海嘯沖擊我 使我向下沉

Close to skin, like a tidal wave hitting me, making me sink down

再走近 是我完全難自禁

Moving closer, I can't completely control myself

就算知道實在太愚笨 到底一刻也算是緣份

Even knowing it's foolish, yet for a moment, I believe it's destiny

天地淪陷 餘震是痛苦中 一絲興奮

The world collapses, the aftershock in pain, a faint excitement

餘震是靠在妳掌心 永遠被困

The aftershock is leaning in your palm, forever trapped

(多謝大家)

(Thank you all)
