想得太多 甚么都是问题
Thinking too much, everything becomes a problem
有些事情 并没有大道理
Some things just don't have a grand reason
苦瓜皱眉 已皱掉几层皮
Bitter melon frowns, peeling away layers of skin
你的苦笑 你的正字标记
Your苦笑, your precise definition
一口一口 吃了甚么 填不满那快乐
Bite by bite, no matter what I eat, it won't fill that joy
一口一口 吃了甚么 苦味太浓缩
Bite by bite, no matter what I eat, the bitterness is too concentrated
你吃甚么 就像甚么 他们这么说
What you eat, you become, they say
你是甚么 就吃甚么 坏情绪沾满芥末
What you are, you consume, bad vibes smeared with mustard
你吃甚么 就像甚么 会变同一国
What you eat, you become, turning into the same country
一口一口 你被甚么 吃掉了生活
Bite by bite, what is consuming you has eaten away at life
想得太多 甚么都是问题
Thinking too much, everything becomes a problem
有些事情 并没有大道理
Some things don’t really have a grand explanation
苦瓜皱眉 已皱掉几层皮
Bitter melon frowns, peeling layers away with time
你的苦笑 你的正字标记
Your bitter smile, your badge of authenticity
一口一口 说了甚么 快乐被你混浊
Bit by bit, what was said, joy gets muddied by you
一口一口 咬定甚么 不懂得快活
Bit by bit, what you bite down on, makes it hard to enjoy life
你吃甚么 就像甚么 他们这么说
You eat what reflects you, that's what they say
你是甚么 就吃甚么 坏情绪沾满芥末
You are what you eat, bad feelings smeared like mustard
你吃甚么 就像甚么 会变同一国
You eat what reflects you, and will become one with the same nation
一口一口 你被甚么 吃掉了你的生活
Bit by bit, what has consumed, has swallowed your life away
你吃甚么 就像甚么 他们这么说
You are what you eat, they say
你是甚么 就吃甚么 坏情绪沾满芥末
You are what you are, and eat what you may, bad moods smeared in mustard's sway
你吃甚么 就像甚么 会变同一国
You are what you eat, they say, all will become the same someday
一口一口 你被甚么 吃掉了你的生活
Byte by byte, what's eating you, has swallowed up your life's view
你吃甚么 就像甚么
You are what you eat, they say
你是甚么 就吃甚么
You are what you are, and eat what you may
你吃甚么 就像甚么
You are what you eat, they say
一口一口 你被甚么 吃掉了你的生活
Byte by byte, what's eating you, has swallowed up your life's view
吃掉了你的生活
Has swallowed up your life's view
