Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

當我靠近 臉上盡是密雲

When I get close, my face is full of dark clouds

傻人都知一心對我降溫

Even fools know I turn cold toward you wholeheartedly

你在迴避我親近 沒疑問

You're avoiding my approach, no doubt about it

最後悔 試過故意對你倍加關心

In the end, I regret deliberately caring more about you

誰知你竟會抗拒我的慰問

Who knew you'd actually resist my comfort

彷彿尷尬地撞到路人 我這樣笨

Like awkwardly bumping into a stranger, I'm so clueless

只想見你但是盡量合群

I just want to see you, but I try to fit in

明明相交不深我也上心

Though we're not that close, I still care deeply

你良朋像我兄弟 沒遺憾

Your good friends are like my brothers, no regrets

最重要 我試過說偶爾也想單身

Most importantly, I've even tried to say I sometimes want to be single

提醒你不會揹上太多責任

To remind you I won’t burden you with too much

委屈到這樣造作

Feeling this wronged and forced

只想博到同情與好感

Just to gain sympathy and affection

我不怕 死心不息愛你

I’m not afraid, I’ll keep loving you forever

表演討好的雜技

Performing acrobatics to please you

不惜更改性格都想配合你

Even if I have to change my nature, I want to match you

施展魔鬼的嫵媚

Exerting devilish charm

加起修女莊嚴難以令你在意得到轉機

Dressed in priestly solemnity that’s hard to catch your attention

然後我 假裝瀟灑對你

Then I pretend to be carefree around you

偷歡偷不到妒忌

Stealing happiness, jealous but unable to get it

花心癡心竟然同樣不震撼你

My fickle and infatuated heart doesn’t even shock you anymore

哭泣表演可憐你嫌棄

Crying and performing, pitying myself, you dislike it

大概正中你厭惡的禁忌

Maybe I’ve hit your taboo of disgust

難道要我說我愛到想死

Do I have to say I love you so much I want to die?

威脅若拒絕我便逼死你

Threatening if you refuse, I’ll force you to death

又怕越快被你拋棄

And afraid you’ll abandon me even faster

...

...

猜想你最近在服侍別人

Guess you’ve been serving others recently

仍然一聲不響免太貼身

Still silent, avoiding getting too close

鬥命長亦鬥寬大 只要忍

Fighting life long and wide, just忍忍

冷待我 也要勉強對你笑得開心

Ignoring me, yet forcing myself to smile happily for you

如果不想答我永遠不會問

If you don’t want to answer, I’ll never ask

小心到以為能夠

Be careful, thinking I might succeed

得到報答垂憐我苦心

Getting rewards for my suffering

我不怕 死心不息愛你

I’m not afraid, I’ll keep loving you forever

表演討好的雜技

Performing acrobatics to please you

不惜更改性格都想配合你

Even if I have to change my nature, I want to match you

施展魔鬼的嫵媚

Exerting devilish charm

加起修女莊嚴難以令你在意得到轉機

Dressed in priestly solemnity that’s hard to catch your attention

然後我 假裝瀟灑對你

偷歡偷不到妒忌

Stealing happiness, jealous but unable to get it

花心癡心竟然同樣不震撼你

哭泣表演可憐你嫌棄

Crying and performing, pitying myself, you dislike it

大概正中你厭惡的禁忌

難道要我說我愛到想死

Do I have to say I love you so much I want to die?

威脅若拒絕我便逼死你

Threatening if you refuse, I’ll force you to death

又怕越快被你拋棄

And afraid you’ll abandon me even faster

曾炫耀偉大無悔換一點感動

Once boasted about greatness without regret, exchanged for a bit of emotion

曾強調最在乎你換一點激動

Once emphasized that you matter the most, exchanged for some excitement

而你 愛完了 不會懂 不屑懂

But after you loved, you won't understand, you won’t think it’s worth understanding

死心不息無人歌頌

Losing hope and no one sings your praises

曾用盡了種種方式對你

Having tried every way possible to win you over

種種討好的雜技

Every trick I used to please you

不惜更改性格都想配合你

Even if I have to change my heart, I want to match you

施展魔鬼的嫵媚

Exerting devilish charm

加起修女莊嚴難以令你在意得到轉機

Dressed in priestly solemnity that’s hard to catch your attention

然後我 假裝瀟灑對你

Then I pretend to be carefree around you

偷歡偷不到妒忌

Stealing happiness, jealous but unable to get it

花心癡心竟然同樣不震撼你

My fickle and infatuated heart doesn’t even shock you anymore

哭泣表演可憐你嫌棄

Crying and performing, pitying myself, you dislike it

大概正中你厭惡的禁忌

Maybe I’ve hit your taboo of disgust

難道要我說我愛到想死

Do I have to say I love you so much I want to die?

威脅若拒絕我便逼死你

Threatening if you refuse, I’ll force you to death

無非要 要爭一口氣

All just to get a bit of dignity
