Hmm, it's good to be bad, good to be bad
Hmm, it's good to be bad, good to be bad
Oh-oh, just listen what I have to say
Oh-oh, just listen to what I have to say
有时别问事情愚或对
Sometimes don't ask if things are foolish or right
沿途若是遇著你伴随
If along the way I meet you by my side
禁地 漠视闸门爬入去
Forbidden place, I sneak past the gates
深宵三点在创举
At three in the morning, making history
即兴 机车之旅寻乐趣 (寻乐趣)
Improvised, a joyride seeking fun (seeking fun)
前路未定但没有顾虑
The path ahead is uncertain but without fear
一起 自画地图行下去
Together, we'll chart our own course and carry on
不怕风飘著雨水
Not afraid of the wind or the falling rain
It's good to be bad, good to be bad
It's good to be bad, good to be bad
如若你 你心怕虚 实在浪费味蕾
If you're afraid deep down, you're just wasting your taste buds
It's good to be bad, good to be bad
It's good to be bad, good to be bad
男或女 也不要再压抑心里
Whether you're a man or a woman, don't hold back your heart
别问规矩 即管太另类 别理什么根据
Don't question the rules, even if it's too unconventional, don't care about any basis
未被应许 都不畏惧 即管超速去追 再踏入禁区
Not promised anything, yet unafraid, racing to chase even into the forbidden zone
莫问规矩 这刻你伴随 被扣锁也最登对
Don't ask about the rules, at this moment you shine the most, even if locked up, it's still a perfect match
未被嘉许 即使有罪 多惊险都不怕累
Not appreciated, even if guilty, the thrill's worth the scare without feeling tired
你要是 (若从未曾坏 暂时来越界)
If you dare to (if you've never been bad, step out and push boundaries)
(准我不太乖 疯过才愉快)
(Let me be a little unruly, it's the madness that brings joy)
要是 学著大人谈道理 (谈道理)
If I learn to reason like an adult (like an adult)
全部浪漫亦是空欢喜
All romance is just empty joy
有事 木独剧情无谓理
There's no need to ponder over a lonely plot
斗胆一刻别怕死
Dare for a moment, don't fear death
一早 飞机飞去寻觅你 (寻觅你)
At dawn, a plane flies away to seek you (to seek you)
来回独自静坐一千里
Alone, I sit in silence for a thousand miles
即兴 更没地图行李
Improvisation, I have no map or luggage
真爱先找著转机
True love first finds a turning point
It's good to be bad, good to be bad
It's good to be bad, good to be bad
如若你 你心怕虚 实在浪费味蕾
If your heart is afraid and hollow, it's truly a waste of taste buds
It's good to be bad, good to be bad
It's good to be bad, good to be bad
男或女 也不要再规管心里
Whether man or woman, don't restrict what's inside
别问规矩 即管太另类 别理什么根据
Don't question the rules, even if they're too unconventional, ignore any basis
未被应许 都不畏惧 即管超速去追 再踏入禁区
Not promised a thing, yet unafraid, speeding to chase, stepping into the forbidden zone
莫问规矩 这刻你伴随 被扣锁也最登对
Don’t ask about rules, this moment you stand with me, even if shackled, we fit just right
未被嘉许 即使有罪 多惊险都不怕累
Not recognized, even if guilty, not afraid of thrills, tiredness won’t hold us back
可不可手执海报 于山顶高声宣布
Can we hold the poster at the summit, loudly proclaiming
太庆幸这刻找到 你我最自己一套
So fortunate to find this moment, just you and I in our own style
可不可抛开摆布 灯光中伸手拥抱
Can we cast aside the pretense, reaching out to embrace in the light
根本不必很吞吐 我信我自己一套
No need to hesitate at all, I believe in my own way
若从未曾坏 暂时来越界
If it has never shattered, let’s briefly cross the line.
准我不太乖 疯过才愉快
Allow me to be a little wild; it’s only fun when I go insane.
不怕心太歪 此际无限界
Fear not if my heart’s askew; at this moment, there are no bounds.
一刹不太乖 疯过才愉快
In a fleeting moment of defiance, craziness brings the joy.
别问规矩 即管太另类 其实并未心虚
Don’t ask about the rules; I’ll be too unconventional, but I’m not really insecure.
未被应许 都不畏惧 即管超速去追 再踏入禁区
Not promised any grace, still unafraid; racing to chase, stepping into forbidden zones again.
莫问规矩 这刻你伴随 被扣锁也最登对
Don’t question the rules; at this moment, your presence fits perfectly even if restrained.
未被嘉许 即使有罪 多惊险都不怕累 ooh
Not given approval; even if I sin, I fear no danger, I won’t tire, ooh.
别问规矩 即管太另类 别理什么根据 (it's good to be bad, good to be bad)
Don’t ask about the rules; I’ll be too unconventional, ignore whatever basis (it’s good to be bad, good to be bad).
未被应许 都不畏惧 即管超速去追 再踏入禁区
Not promised any grace, still unafraid; racing to chase, stepping into forbidden zones again.
莫问规矩 这刻你伴随 被扣锁也最登对 (it's good to be bad, good to be bad)
Don't question the rules, in this moment you're by my side, locked away feels just right.
未被嘉许 即使有罪 多惊险都不怕累
Unrecognized, even if I'm guilty, the thrill doesn't tire me at all.
It's good to be bad, good to be bad
It's good to be bad, good to be bad.
