他近水楼台 就近取材 手到擒来
He stands by the water's edge, drawing inspiration close at hand, effortless to capture.
我在他面前却像隔著山脉
But before him, I feel as though separated by mountain ranges.
山伯和英台 一封留言 排山倒海
Shanbo and Yingtai, a single message, shakes the world to its core.
爱她的纸片 把我说成呆
The paper that loves her describes me as foolish.
过了几千年 爱情的宝典
After thousands of years, the classic of love remains.
祖先没传下来
It wasn’t passed down by our ancestors.
达尔文的脸黑丫丫一片
Darwin wears a frown, a dark cloud looming over.
进化论解不开
Evolution can’t unravel this mystery.
讨厌现在 多情容易被出卖
I loathe the present, for passion is easily betrayed.
讨厌古代 缘份只靠等待
I despise the past, where fate relies solely on waiting.
讨厌未来 那承诺太容易腐败
Hate the future, those promises decay too easily
快转倒带 结果总是一样坏
Fast forward, rewind, the outcomes are always the same bad
马车的轮胎 翻山越岭 都要表白
The carriage wheels, crossing mountains, still need to confess
跑车跑的快 只为早点 bye
The sports car speeds fast, just to say goodbye sooner
讨厌现在 多情容易被出卖
Hate the present, emotions are easily betrayed
讨厌古代 缘份只靠等待
Hate the ancient times, fate relies solely on waiting
讨厌未来 那承诺太容易腐败
Hate the future, those promises decay too easily
快转倒带 结果总是一样坏
Fast forward, rewind, the outcomes are always the same bad
活了几千年 爱情的脸
Living for thousands of years, the face of love
跟随著进化在改变
Evolving alongside change
悄悄的出现 疫苗看不见
Quietly appearing, the vaccine is unseen
谁拿感情来当消遣?
Who uses feelings as a pastime?
讨厌现在 多情容易被出卖
I hate the present, where passion easily gets betrayed
讨厌古代 缘份只靠等待
I loathe the past, where fate relies solely on waiting
讨厌未来 那承诺太容易腐败
I despise the future, as promises decay too easily
快转倒带 结果总是一样坏
Fast forward, rewind, the end is always the same bad
讨厌现在
I hate the present
讨厌古代 缘份只靠等待
I loathe the past, where fate relies solely on waiting
讨厌未来
I despise the future
快转倒带 最后结果总是一样坏
Fast forward, rewind, the final outcome is always the same bad
