问十万次 都这么说 也别再打听
Ask a hundred thousand times, they all say the same, so stop inquiring.
事业顺畅 身体不错 坏极是恋情
Career is smooth, health is fair, it's only love that's gone awry.
无需再继续 不必给我塔罗占卜
No need to continue, don't bother with tarot readings for me.
不必给我血型占卜 什么都算了
No need for blood type fortune-telling, I've had enough of everything.
早知道这人不配我著迷
Should've known this person wasn't worth my obsession.
只不过有时恋爱太执迷
It's just that sometimes love can make one too obsessed.
将一切当成天意
Taking everything as destiny.
比较可以甘心 将他去放低
It’s easier to let go of him and find peace.
由他去 别再追
Let him be, don't chase after him anymore.
赶快想想新对象是谁
Quick, think about who the new love interest might be.
若然今年太不利谈情
If this year is not right for love,
让我猜猜出年拥著谁
Let me guess who I'll hold next year.
由他去 别再追
Let it go, don’t chase anymore.
钟爱一生 真正伴侣
A lifelong love, a true partner.
命里早注定 问到偏故弄玄虚
Destined from the start, why ask for tricks?
逐页逐句 翻开三世 欠下过的帐
Page by page, line by line, uncovering past debts from three lives.
学习术数 观测星相 越问越悲凉
Learning the art, observing the stars, the more I ask, the more it grieves.
无需再继续 不必给我爱情忠告
No need to continue, no need for love advice.
想听一句我就心足 是他不配我
Just one word would satisfy my heart, it’s him who doesn’t deserve me.
早知道这人不配我著迷
Had I known this person wasn't worth my obsession.
只不过有时恋爱太执迷
Sometimes love can be too obsessive,
将一切当成天意
Treating everything as if it were fate.
比较可以甘心 将他去放低
It's easier to let go and accept the loss,
由他去 别再追
Just let him go, don’t chase anymore.
赶快想想新对象是谁
Quickly, think about who the new target is.
若然今年太不利谈情
If this year is unfavorable for romance,
让我猜猜出年拥著谁
Let's see who I'll be holding next year.
由他去 别再追
Just let him go, don’t chase anymore.
钟爱一生 真正伴侣
A lifelong love, a true companion,
命里早注定 问到偏故弄玄虚
Destiny had it all planned out, playing with the mystique.
由他去 别再追
Let him go, don’t chase after him anymore
给我占卜新对象是谁
Tell me who my new love will be
若然不能算出是谁人
If you can't figure out who it is
亦至少讲清楚不是谁
At least make it clear who it is not
由他去 别再追
Let him go, don’t chase after him anymore
钟爱一生 真正伴侣
A lifelong love, my true companion
命里早注定 问到偏故弄玄虚
Fate has already decided, don't play tricks on me
赠我一句吧 别这么故弄玄虚
Just give me a hint, don't be so cryptic
