  1. 你又不是李白 不用说诗的对白

    You're not Li Bai, no need for poetic lines to share

  2. 不用酒后安排 浪漫的交待

    No need to plan romance after a drink's affair

  3. 感情虽然失败 还好甜点很精彩

    Though the love may have failed, the dessert's a delightful surprise

  4. 谢谢你的招待

    Thank you for your hospitality

  5. 这一次的单我来买

    This time it's my treat, let me cover the prize

  6. 原谅我心情还愉快

    Forgive me, my mood is still bright

  7. 为甚么要分开 我连猜也不想猜

    Why must we part? I don't even want to guess what's right

  8. 我不是庸才 你不是天才

    I'm no mediocre soul, you're not a genius in sight

  1. 也不是伤害我的那种人才

    And you're not the kind of talent that brings pain to my life

  2. 不爱就不爱 离开就拜拜

    If there's no love, then there's no love, goodbye and farewell, alright

  3. 我不想听甚么甚么我们合不来

    I don't want to hear about what doesn’t work for us

  4. 我有节目在排 有很多东西想买

    I've got my schedule lined up, so many things I want to buy

  5. 如果你是李白

    If you were Li Bai

  6. 魅力留给后人崇拜

    Your charm left for future generations to admire

  7. 别阻碍了我的舞台

    Don’t block my stage

  8. 为甚么要分开 我连猜也不想猜

    Why must we part? I don’t even want to guess

  9. 我不是桑田 你不是沧海

    I'm not the marshlands, and you’re not the vast sea

  10. 你不要以为你特别可爱

    Don't think that you're particularly cute

  11. 很多人恋爱 很多人分开

    Many are in love, many are breaking apart

  12. 我不会以为我特别失败

    I won’t think of myself as particularly defeated

  13. 我不是庸才 你不是天才

    I'm not a mediocre soul, and you're not a genius.

  14. 也不是伤害我的那种人才

    Neither are you the kind to hurt me, that's true.

  15. 不爱就不爱 难挨就不挨

    If you don't love, then don't love; if it's hard to bear, let it be.

  16. 只给你一分钟想想怎么说拜拜

    I'll give you just a minute to figure out how to say goodbye.

  17. 床前明月光 疑是地上霜

    The bright moon shines before my bed, mistaking it for frost on the ground.

  18. 举头望明月 低头思故乡

    I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, then lower my head to think of home.

  19. 我不是庸才 你不是天才

    I'm not a mediocre soul, and you're not a genius.

  20. 也不是伤害我的那种人才

    Neither are you the kind to hurt me, that's true.

  21. 不爱就不爱 难挨就不挨

    If you don't love, then don't love; if it's hard to bear, let it be.

  22. 只给你一分钟想想怎么说拜拜

    I'll give you just a minute to figure out how to say goodbye.
