Lonely Christmas – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

誰又騎著那鹿車飛過

Who’s riding that reindeer car speeding by

忘掉投下那禮物給我

Forgot to give me the gift I dropped

凝視那燈飾 只有今晚最光最亮

Staring at the lights, only tonight they shine the brightest

卻照亮我的寂寞

But they only illuminate my loneliness

誰又能善心親一親我

Who can kindly give me a little kiss

由唇上來驗證我幸福過

To confirm that I’ve been happy through your lips

頭上那飄雪 想要棲息我肩膊上

Snowflakes drifting above, wanting to rest on my shoulder

到最後也別去麼

Will it all end up going away in the end

Merry Merry Christmas

Merry Merry Christmas

Lonely Lonely Christmas

Lonely Lonely Christmas

人浪中想真心告白 但妳只想聽聽笑話

Among the crowd, I wish I could truly confess my feelings, but you just want to hear a joke

Lonely Lonely Christmas

Lonely Lonely Christmas

Merry Merry Christmas

Merry Merry Christmas

明日燈飾必須拆下

Tomorrow's lights must come down

換到歡呼聲不過一剎

Replaced by cheers that last only a moment

明晨遇到 亦記不到

Waking up tomorrow, I still can’t remember

和誰在醉酒中偷偷擁抱

Who I secretly hugged in drunkenness

仍然在傻笑 但妳哪知道我想哭

Still smiling foolishly, but you don’t know I want to cry

和誰撞到 亦怕生保

Who I bumped into, afraid to look in the eye

寧願在醉酒中辛苦嘔吐

Better to vomit painfully in drunkenness

仍然在頭痛 合唱的詩歌聽不到

Still with a headache, unable to hear the choir's song

Merry Merry Christmas

Merry Merry Christmas

Lonely Lonely Christmas

Lonely Lonely Christmas

人浪中想真心告白 但妳只想聽聽笑話

Among the crowd, I wish I could truly confess my feelings, but you just want to hear a joke
