自我被养大 伴侣便纵坏
I was raised by myself, my partner just indulges in decay
多么腐败
How deeply corrupt
爱仿似妖怪 会使我失态
Love is like a monster, it makes me lose my way
处身悬崖
Hanging on a cliff
爱可以很快 退烧也很快
Love can cool off fast, just like a fever
冰火难挨
Hard to bear the ice and fire
是我在撒赖 但我未算坏
I'm being unreasonable, yet I'm not so bad
但爱情像魔鬼怎去踩
But how to tread on love like a devil?
示爱便盼待 被爱亦意外
To express love is to hope and wait, to be loved is a surprise
彼此虐待
Mutual torment
我需要恋爱 爱得似乞丐
I need love, love like a beggar
痴痴呆呆
Dazed and foolish
我天性慷慨 献光我的爱
By nature I'm generous, shining my love
必须人抬
Must be lifted by others
害怕被我害 亦怕被害
Afraid of being harmed by me, also scared of harm
就似逃避魔鬼想跳海
Like escaping the devil, wanting to jump into the sea
我很惊见鬼 我很惊跌低
I'm so scared of ghosts, I'm so scared of falling down
恋火一烧烧到底 未来迟早给摧毁
When love ignites, it burns all the way, the future will eventually be destroyed
宁愿烦上帝 情欲能受制
I'd rather annoy God, if desire can be controlled
让我受了洗 持续缠下去会病危
Let me be baptized, continuing to cling on could be dangerous
我很惊见鬼 我很惊跌低
I'm startled by ghosts, I'm shocked when I fall down.
恋火一早不够烧 累人累己真不抵
The fire of love doesn't burn bright enough early on, exhausting both the heart and the soul.
宁愿求上帝 平静如避世
I’d rather seek God, calm as if escaping the world.
避爱避到底 谁若谈论爱
Avoiding love to the end, who dares to talk about love?
黑足一世
A black foot for a lifetime.
没有落脚地 避也没法避
With no place to land, there’s no way to escape.
飞天遁地
Flying through the skies and hiding from the earth.
已讲对不起 说得快生气
I've said sorry too quickly and it just makes me angry.
不舍难离
Hard to let go, hard to part.
我都爱惜你 我偏更惊你
I cherish you so much, yet I'm even more frightened of you.
只好逃离
I can only escape
没有旧胜地 没有旧气味
No old haunts, no familiar scents
别要成第一宗恋爱死
Don't let it be your first love that kills you
我很惊见鬼 我很惊跌低
I'm shocked to see ghosts, I'm scared I'll fall
恋火一烧烧到底 未来迟早给摧毁
When the passion burns, it burns all the way, the future will eventually be destroyed
宁愿烦上帝 情欲能受制
I'd rather trouble God than let desire take control
让我受了洗 持续缠下去会病危
Let me be baptized, clinging on could lead to danger
我很惊见鬼我很惊见底
I'm shocked to see ghosts, I'm scared to see the end
恋火一早不够烧 累人累己真不抵
The fire of love doesn't burn bright enough, exhausting myself and others really isn't worth it
宁愿求上帝 平静如避世
I'd rather seek God, peaceful like a hermit
避爱避到底 谁若谈论爱
Avoid love to the end, who speaks of love?
黑足一世
A life spent in shadows.
我很惊见鬼 我很惊跌低
I’m shocked, I see ghosts, I’m shocked, I fall down.
恋火一烧烧到底 未来迟早给摧毁
When love's fire burns hot, it will eventually be destroyed.
宁愿烦上帝 情欲能受制
I’d rather bother God, than let passion control me.
让我受了洗 持续缠下去会病危
Let me be baptized, continuing this will lead to danger.
我很惊见鬼我很惊见底
I’m shocked, I see ghosts, I'm shocked, I see the depths.
恋火一早不够烧 累人累己真不抵
When love's flame burns too early, it exhausts both us and me.
宁愿求上帝 平静如避世
I’d rather seek God, peaceful as I escape the world.
避爱避到底 谁若谈论爱
Avoid love to the end, who speaks of love?
黑足一世
A lifetime in black feet
