各种海角天涯 狭路相逢 多不可思议
From every corner of the earth, in narrow alleys we meet, how extraordinary!
煽情爱情电影 电光火石 已惊天动地
Emotional romance movies, like lightning, shake the ground.
浪漫有毒 总是有人 吐血都甜蜜
Love can be toxic, yet someone still finds sweetness in bloodshed.
不像我们 为了方便 凑合在一起
Unlike us, who come together, just to make things easier.
带我退隐江湖 淡泊名利 生一群天使
Take me to retreat from the world, indifferent to fame, let’s give birth to angels.
或者爱得惨烈 枪林弹雨 受千夫所指
Or maybe love so fierce, amidst gunfire, targeted by the masses.
看图识字 「热恋」上面 就是我和你
See the signs, on the 'passionate love' page, that's you and me.
回到现实 最受欢迎 情话原来是「送你房子」
Back to reality, the most popular line is 'I'll gift you a house.'
我要的 不过是 小小的 罗曼史
All I want is a simple, little romance.
有烛光 有玫瑰 有纠缠 有盟誓
With candlelight, with roses, tangled up, making vows.
不需要 很高级 只求能 爱到死
No need for extravagance, just love until death.
反正我 没有价值
Anyway, I hold no value.
其实 我要的 不过是 标准的 罗曼史
In truth, all I want is a classic romance.
从相爱 到分离 场场是 高潮戏
From love to separation, every moment is a climax.
粉红色 包装纸 一拆开 竟然是 该死的 写实主义
The pink wrapping paper, when unwrapped, reveals damn realism.
眼泪 不够写成诗
Tears aren't enough to write a poem.
让我最后一次 靠你胸膛 夜赏樱花雨
Let me rest my head on your chest one last time, under the cherry blossom rain.
弦乐铺天盖地 全国哀悼 情感的葬礼
Strings fill the sky, the nation mourns, a funeral of emotions.
我想慢慢 用血刺青 分手的凄迷
I want to slowly tattoo my sorrow of breakup with blood.
你用手机 随随便便 发我两个字 仅此而已
You casually sent me two words on your phone, that's all.
我要的 不过是 小小的 罗曼史
All I want is a little, simple romance.
有烛光 有玫瑰 有纠缠 有盟誓
With candlelight, with roses, with entanglement, with vows.
不需要 很高级 最好能 爱到死
No need for anything fancy, just love until death.
反正我 也很便宜
After all, I'm quite cheap too.
也许 我要的 其实是 重口的 罗曼史
Maybe what I really want is a wild, intense romance.
哀艳到 心臓麻痺 很可惜
So tragic, a beauty that leaves my heart in shock.
粉红色 包装纸 一拆开 竟然是 我们的 平凡无奇
Pink wrapping paper, once torn open reveals our ordinary lives.
浪漫 已死在哪里
Where has romance died?
