你不管我多有妒忌
You don't care how jealous I get,
也不管我怎么抗议
Nor do you mind my protests,
他永远是你说不腻的话题
He's always your favorite topic,
你让我为他受尽委屈
You make me suffer for him,
爱迟到多久都可以
Love can be late for as long as it wants,
你阴晴不定没关系
Your moods are unpredictable, that's fine,
够不够交换你多留点时间
Is it enough to trade some more of your time?
让我们俩人单独（单独）一起
Let us be alone (alone) together,
谁都想拥有情人完整的心
Everyone wants a lover's heart complete,
别说我太孩子气
Don't say I'm too childish.
改天你家门口有人疯狂弹琴
One day at your doorstep, someone plays the piano madly
一定是我别怀疑
It must be me, don't doubt it
我不怕跟再强的情敌试着比一比
I’m not afraid to compete against the strongest rival
打败我才能抢走你
Only by defeating me can someone take you away
碰上了Ludwig Beethoven
I ran into Ludwig Beethoven
却只能摇头叹气
But I can only shake my head and sigh
你不管我多有妒忌
No matter how jealous I feel
也不管我怎么抗议
Or how much I protest
他永远是你说不腻的话题
He'll always be your endlessly talked-about topic
你让我为他受尽委屈
You make me suffer for him, oh
爱迟到多久都可以
Love can be late for as long as it needs.
你阴晴不定没关系
Your moods shift, but that’s alright.
够不够交换你多留点时间
Is it enough? Let's exchange a little more time.
让我们俩人单独（单独）一起
Just the two of us, alone (alone) together.
谁都想拥有情人完整的心
Everyone wishes to have a lover's whole heart.
别说我太孩子气
Don't say I'm too childish.
改天你家门口有人疯狂弹琴
Another day, someone at your door playing like crazy.
一定是我别怀疑
It must be me, don’t doubt it.
我不怕跟再强的情敌试着比一比
I'm not afraid to compete with even the strongest rival.
打败我才能抢走你
Only by defeating me can you take me away.
碰上了Ludwig Beethoven
Met Ludwig Beethoven,
却只能摇头叹气
Yet all I can do is shake my head and sigh.
我不怕跟再强的情敌试着比一比
I’m not afraid to compete against the strongest rival,
打败我才能抢走你
Only by defeating me can you take him away.
碰上了Ludwig Beethoven
Met Ludwig Beethoven,
却只能摇头叹气
Yet all I can do is shake my head and sigh.
