是妒忌
Is it jealousy,
或寂寞令我失掉平衡
Or loneliness that makes me lose my balance?
倘冰释介蒂愿以毕生去等
If the ice melts, I’d be willing to wait a lifetime,
是误会
Is it a misunderstanding?
或是实在我当初真的过份
Or was I really too much in the beginning?
我可伤过你
I may have hurt you,
而记恨半生
And held a grudge for half my life.
还有一点
And still, a little bit,
生动裂痕
Of vivid fractures,
还有一点
And still, a little bit.
令人痛心
Heartbreaking
不肯姑息
Unyielding
不想相识
Not wanting to know each other
跟我碰到好像是迎面路人
Meeting me feels like crossing paths with a stranger
极力逃避我眼神
Desperately avoiding my gaze
你似罪禁只会走得太近
You, like a forbidden sin, only come too close
怎可相识
How could we ever know each other?
多么偏激
So very extreme
怎算待我平等
How can you treat me as your equal?
独我是罪人
Alone, I am the sinner
觅认同
Seeking acceptance
漫长斗争
A long struggle
觅自由已得到许多教训
In seeking freedom, I've learned many lessons
是堕落
It's a fall
或是现实渐已经迫我于角落
Or perhaps reality has cornered me
有一点冷血
A bit cold-blooded
未去分析结果
Without analyzing the outcome
是落寞
It's solitude
或是日后我不想惨遭
Or maybe in the future I don't want to suffer
冷落
Neglect
你可否说过
Can you say once more
还爱著我么
That you still love me?
还爱著我么
That you still love me?
还有一点
There's still a trace
生动裂痕
Of vivid cracks
还有一点
There's still a trace
令人痛心
That pierces the heart
不肯姑息
Unwilling to relent
不想相识
Not wanting to know me
跟我碰到好像是迎面路人
Meeting me feels like crossing paths with a stranger
极力逃避我眼神
Desperately avoiding my gaze
你似罪禁只会走得太近
You, like a forbidden sin, can only come too close
怎可相识
How could we know each other?
多么偏激
How extreme it is!
怎算待我平等
How can you treat me as equal?
独我是罪人
Only I am the sinner
觅认同
Seeking recognition
漫长斗争
A long, arduous struggle
觅自由已得到许多教训
In search of freedom, I've learned many lessons
还有一点
There's still a little left
生动裂痕
Vivid cracks
还有一点
There's still a bit
令人痛心
So heart-wrenching
不肯姑息
Unwilling to relent
不想相识
Don't want to know each other
跟我碰到好像是迎面路人
Meeting me feels like passing strangers
极力逃避我眼神
Desperately avoiding my gaze
你似罪禁只会走得太近
You’re like a forbidden sin, drawing too near
怎可相识
How could we know each other?
多么偏激
So extreme
怎算待我平等
How can you treat me as an equal?
独我是罪人
Only I am the sinner.
觅认同
In search of acceptance,
漫长斗争
A long struggle,
觅自由已得到许多教训
In quest of freedom, I've learned many lessons.
