沒身份妒忌 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English

• By: 胡鴻鈞

Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a fantastic way to connect with its culture and nuances. '沒身份妒忌' by Hubert Wu is a great song for learners of Cantonese to explore complex emotional vocabulary related to love and longing. The song's clear enunciation and emotive melody make it easier to follow the lyrics and understand the story of unspoken love and the pain of not having a 'status' in someone's life, a theme that is both relatable and linguistically rich.

[English]

Because I drank too much today and I'm happy

Making excuses to vent because I see I'm not enough

I have no right to expect so much from my friends

Shouldn't have opened up my heart when I already did

Your apology sounds so sincere

Gentle rejection, then I turn around and leave

No envy or jealousy, it's me messing with you

I know how to get close to you, dragging it out, dying inside, I’ll keep fighting

Why blame heaven and earth when I haven’t truly moved you

Even my fantasies feel shameful and petty

...

My frustrated heart I just keep it inside

Blame you for your smile being so attractive

Especially sitting so close, making me more sensitive

Thinking of ending it all, but how can I be so ruthless

Every time I hear your caring tone

Even when you ruin me, I feel satisfied

My actions seem tense, and I dare not react

Maybe I’m exhausting myself, making you hate me more

No envy or jealousy, it’s me messing with you

I know how to get close to you, dragging it out, dying inside, I’ll keep fighting

Why blame heaven and earth when I haven’t truly moved you

Even my fantasies feel shameful and petty

Even greatness might contain some anger

Unable to melt you, I’d rather end it all

No envy or jealousy, why should I suffer in silence

Never qualified for you, I can’t even be happy without sorrow

Falling into unrequited love, just lonely and bothering you

If I mess with you, I only have myself to blame

I should just save love for myself

...

[Chinese]

皆因今天開心喝得多了酒

借故發洩你見我不夠

無權利對好友 有太多要求

不應攤開心聲我都開了口

你那抱歉語氣相當親厚

善意的拒絕我 轉身走

沒有身份妒忌 是我打搞著你

明白怎接近你 拖拖拉拉心要死便要死

憑何呼天怨地 其實未動搖你

連幻想都感到慚愧與卑鄙

鬱鬱不歡的心我只好強忍

怪也怪你笑臉太吸引

尤其坐到很近 令我更敏感

一筆勾銷怎麼始終不夠狠

每次聽見你那關心口吻

被你糟蹋亦有 滿足感

行為亦顯得拘緊 反應也不敢

或者嘔心瀝血令你更反感

沒有身份妒忌 是我打搞著你

明白怎接近你 拖拖拉拉心要死便要死

憑何呼天怨地 其實未動搖你

連幻想都感到慚愧與卑鄙

再偉大也許存在一點生氣

無辦法去溶化你 只好處死

沒有身份妒忌 何來委屈自己

從沒資格為你 根本都不足以樂極生悲

沈淪單戀趣味 純為寂寞便煩著你

如若打搞到你唯有對不起

還是應該將愛情 儲起
