谁用名份埋葬谁 谁入坟墓放心甜睡
Who buries whom with a name, who rests sweetly in the grave?
谁用盟誓遥控谁 谁又无力婉拒
Who remotely controls whom with a vow, who is powerless to refuse?
谁用流泪俘虏谁 谁任人勒索不言惧
Who captures whom with tears, who allows others to extort without fear?
情人看剑 小心眼前 提防暗箭 真个惊险
Lovers gaze at the sword, be careful what's ahead, guard against hidden arrows, it's truly dangerous.
谈情说爱 心惊胆颤 这刺客每日在身边
Talking love and affection, heart racing in fear, this assassin is by my side every day.
无论谁在磨折谁
No matter who is wearing down whom,
才伴谁夜里一同睡
only to accompany someone to sleep through the night.
情人看剑 小心眼前 提防暗箭 真个惊险
Lovers gaze at the sword, be careful what's ahead, guard against hidden arrows, it's truly dangerous.
无论谁在惩戒谁 至少重伤 我都知道为谁
No matter who is punishing whom, at least I know who the wounds are for.
情人看剑 小心眼前 提防暗箭 真个惊险
Lovers gaze at the sword, be careful what's ahead, guard against hidden arrows, it's truly dangerous.
谈情说爱 心惊胆颤 却要你每日在身边
Talking love, a heart pounding with fear, yet I want you by my side every day.
岂不快哉 刀光剑影的爱 攻心的比赛
Isn't it delightful, love amid the glimmer of blades, a contest that pierces the heart?
魔鬼怪胎 相克却很相爱 实在分不开
A devilish hybrid, we clash yet adore, truly inseparable.
情人看剑 小心眼前 提防暗箭 真个惊险
Lovers gaze at swords, beware what's ahead, guard against hidden arrows, it's a real danger.
谈情说爱 心惊胆颤 这刺客每日在身边
Talking love, a heart pounding with fear, this assassin is by my side every day.
情人看剑 小心眼前 提防暗箭 真个惊险
Lovers gaze at swords, beware what's ahead, guard against hidden arrows, it's a real danger.
