(Whoa)
(Whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Baby boy (baby boy; whoa)
Baby boy (baby boy; whoa)
谁把谁的灵魂 装进谁的身体?
Who trapped whose soul inside whose body?
谁把谁的身体 变成囹圄囚禁自己?
Who turned whose body into a prison to confine themselves?
乱世总是最不缺耳语 哪种美丽会唤来妒忌?
In chaotic times, whispers are always abundant; which kind of beauty calls forth jealousy?
你并没有罪 有罪是这世界
You are not at fault; this world is the one to blame.
生而为人无罪 (ah)
Born as a human, there's no sin (ah)
你不需要抱歉 (ah)
You don't need to apologize (ah)
One day I will be you (one day I will be you)
One day I will be you (one day I will be you)
Baby boy, and you gon' be me (boy and you gon' be me)
Baby boy, and you gon' be me (boy and you gon' be me)
喧哗如果不停 (不停 whoa)
If the quarrels don’t stop (don’t stop whoa)
让我陪你安静 (安静 whoa)
Let me keep you calm (calm whoa)
I wish I could hug you (whoa)
I wish I could hug you (whoa)
'Til you're really, really being free
'Til you're really, really being free
Oh 哪朵玫瑰没有荆棘? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh, which rose is without thorns? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
最好的报复是美丽 最美的盛开是反击
The best revenge is beauty, the most beautiful bloom is retaliation
Oh 别让谁去改变了你 (改变了你 ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh, don’t let anyone change you (change you ah-ah-ah-ah)
你是你或是妳都行 会有人全心的爱你
You are you, or her, it's all fine; someone will love you wholeheartedly
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah; whoa)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah; whoa)
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
试著想像 you switched to his body
Try to imagine you've switched to his body
Sexuality 当心什么会伤你
Sexuality, be careful what might hurt you
多少次的重伤 多少次的冷语
How many times wounded, how many times cold words
Drowning 谁会拉你? Dreaming 谁会陪你?
Drowning, who will pull you out? Dreaming, who will stay with you?
Same shit happens the day (the day, the day)
Same shit happens the day (the day, the day)
你离开后 世界可改变 (可改变 可改变)
After you left, can the world really change? (can change, can change)
多少无知罪愆 事过不境迁 (事过不境迁)
How many ignorant sins, things won't change after they've happened (things won't change after they've happened)
永志不忘记念 往事不如烟
Forever etched in memory, pasts no longer hold like smoke
生而为人无罪 (ah; whoa)
Born as a human, there's no sin (ah; whoa)
你不需要抱歉 (ah; whoa)
You don't need to apologize (ah; whoa)
One day I will be you (whoa)
One day I will be you (whoa)
Baby boy, and you gon' be me (gon' be me)
Baby boy, and you gon' be me (gon' be me)
喧哗如果不停 (不停 whoa)
If the noise won't stop (won't stop whoa)
让我陪你安静 (安静 whoa)
Let me accompany you in silence (silence whoa)
I wish I could hug you
I wish I could hug you
'Til you're really, really being free
'Til you're really, really being free
Oh 哪朵玫瑰没有荆棘? (没有荆棘 ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh, which rose doesn’t have thorns? (doesn’t have thorns ah-ah-ah-ah)
最好的报复是美丽 最美的盛开是反击
The best revenge is beauty, the most beautiful bloom is a comeback
Oh 别让谁去改变了你 (改变了你 ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh, don't let anyone change who you are (change who you are ah-ah-ah-ah)
你是你或是妳都行 会有人全心的爱你
You are you, whether you're he or she, and someone will love you wholeheartedly
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
玫瑰少年在我心里 (在我心里 ah-ah-ah-ah)
The rose youth blooms in my heart (blooms in my heart ah-ah-ah-ah)
绽放著鲜艳的传奇 我们都从来没忘记
Unfolding a vibrant legend that we have never forgotten
你的控诉没有声音 (你的控诉没有声音 ah-ah-ah-ah)
Your accusations are without sound (your accusations are without sound ah-ah-ah-ah)
却倾诉更多的真理 却唤醒无数的真心
Yet they convey more truth, awakening countless sincere hearts
