眼瞇成一条线 轻轻踮著脚尖
Eyes squint into a line, gently tiptoeing on my toes
屋顶上的瓦片是他的琴键
The tiles on the roof are his piano keys
一步步 一点点 游走在爱情边缘
Step by step, inch by inch, wandering on the edge of love
想出现就出现 想不见就不见
If you want to appear, just appear; if you don't want to be seen, then don't be seen
想睡就睡一天不理任何人
If I want to sleep, I’ll sleep all day, ignoring everyone
不回电 不上线 不会和任何人争辩
No returning calls, no going online, won’t argue with anyone
爱上他危险危险 不爱他思念思念
Loving him is dangerous, oh so dangerous; not loving him brings thoughts that linger
他总是若即若离若隐若现
He always feels so close yet so far, elusive and faint
有时候沉默冰冷 有时候温柔腼腆
Sometimes silent and cold, sometimes tender and shy
任谁都不会是他爱情的主人
No one will ever be the master of his love
靠近时缠绵缠绵 离开时敷衍敷衍
When close, it's sweet and tender; when apart, it's just a casual goodbye.
他总是忽热忽冷忽近忽远
He’s always unpredictably warm and cold, near and far.
他可以一成不变 也可以瞬息万变
He can remain the same, yet change in an instant.
但是他不会为你做任何改变
But he won’t change a thing for you.
波斯猫瞇著他的双眼
The Persian cat squints his eyes.
波斯猫踮著他的脚尖
The Persian cat tiptoes on his toes.
波斯猫守著他的爱恋
The Persian cat guards his love.
一转眼却又看不见
But in a blink, it all disappears.
什么他都看见 什么都没看见
He sees everything, yet sees nothing at all.
无谓的耸耸肩 是他的消遣
A pointless shrug is his pastime.
左一遍 右一遍 等待著他的有情人
To the left once, to the right once, waiting for his beloved
爱上他 危险危险 不爱他 思念思念
Falling for him, it's dangerous, dangerous, not loving him, it's longing, longing
他总是若即若离若隐若现
He always hovers between being near and far, between being seen and unseen
有时候 沉默冰冷 有时候 温柔腼腆
Sometimes silent and cold, sometimes gentle and shy
任谁都不会是他爱情的主人
No one can ever claim to be the master of his love
靠近时 缠绵缠绵 离开时 敷衍敷衍
When close, it's tender, tender, when apart, it's dismissive, dismissive
他总是忽热忽冷忽近忽远
He’s always hot and cold, always near and far
他可以 一成不变 也可以 瞬息万变
He can be unchanging, yet can shift rapidly like the wind
但是他不会为你做任何改变
But he won’t change a thing for you
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
波斯猫瞇著他的双眼
The Persian cat squints its eyes
波斯猫踮著他的脚尖
The Persian cat tiptoes on its toes
波斯猫守著他的爱恋
The Persian cat guards its love
一转眼却又看不见
But in the blink of an eye, it's gone
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
一转眼看不见
In the blink of an eye, it's out of sight.
Na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
