争气 lyrics with English translation

难得 别离后 仍旧早睡早起 都够运

Hard to find, even after parting, still rise early and sleep early, just enough luck.

而你却 算著我 滴过几滴眼泪 才甘心

Yet you keep track of how many tears I've shed before you can let go.

道行高深 算你好心地 不愿伤透 一个人

With profound understanding, you seem kind-hearted, unwilling to break a person’s heart.

我问良心 即使能恨你 但放手

I ask my conscience, even if I could hate you, I’d still let go.

没有空 挂念你 若我口齿 极伶俐

No time to miss you, if only my words could flow so smoothly.

大概早 已经单打单到你 受不起

Perhaps by now, I've been alone long enough for you to not handle it.

难道你 挨不起 你最好 好在你

Can you really not bear it? It's best for you to be well.

仍然期望 爱人变知己

Still hoping lovers can turn into confidants.

没有心机 痛恨你 做你知己 没名利

No scheming, I hate you, but being your confidant holds no fame or profit.

大个女 纵使失恋 工作至上 才争气

As a grown woman, even if heartbroken, work comes first to prove my worth.

原谅我小气 前度现在排第尾

Forgive my selfishness, my past love now taking the backseat

未能拿出空档来受气

I can't find a moment to endure the pain

Hu... Hu...

Hu... Hu...

别扮好心 勉强说分手都是好友

Don't pretend to be kind, forcing a breakup as friends

我至今 只得你这敌人 如何渡过 下半生

To this day, you're my only enemy, how to get through the second half of life?

没有空 挂念你 若我口齿 极伶俐

No time to think of you, if only my tongue were quick and sharp

大概早 已经单打单到你 受不起

Probably long ago, one-on-one with you, it's too much to bear

难道你 挨不起 我要玩 不受理

Could it be that you can’t take it? I want to play, not dealing with it

没人缠住 你是好福气

No one is tied to you, that's indeed a blessing

如果 天都迫我争气 离去 大概不会死

If heaven is pushing me to strive, leaving wouldn’t lead to death

我退出 但求大家欢喜 无谓到最后 不三不四

I've stepped back, just hoping for everyone's joy, no need to fight until the end, in a muddled way.

没有空 挂念你 若我口齿 极伶俐

No time to think of you, if only my words were sharp and clear.

大概早 已经单打单到你 受不起

Perhaps by now, I've already faced you alone, something you can't bear.

难道你 挨不起 你最好 好在你

Could it be that you can't endure? You better stay well, just for you.

仍然期望 爱人变知己

Still hoping that a lover turns into a confidant.

没有心机 痛恨你 做你知己 没名利

With no motivation, I loathe you, being your confidant, without fame or fortune.

大个女 纵使失恋 工作至上 才争气

As a grown woman, even through heartbreak, work comes first to show my worth.

原谅我小气 前度现在排第尾

Forgive me for being petty, my past is now at the bottom of the list.

未能拿出空档来受气

Unable to carve out a moment to withstand the pressure.
