最好 有生一日都愛下去
It would be best, if I can love everyday that I am alive
但誰人 能將戀愛當做終生興趣
But who can treat love as a lifetime hobby?
生活 其實旨在找到個伴侶
Life is actually about finding the the one we love
面對現實 熱戀很快變長流細水
Let's face reality, passionate love quickly changes like the flowing water.
＊可惜我 不智或僥倖
It’s a pity, being either illogical or fortunate,
對火花天生敏感
I'm born sensitive to the spark of love
不過 兩隻手拉得太緊
However, when two hands pull too hard,
愛到過了界那對愛人
Crossing the line when loving each other, these couples
同時亦最易變成一對敵人
At the same time can so easily become a pair of enemies.
也許相愛很難
Perhaps loving each other is really hard
就難在其實雙方各有各寄望
Hard in the sense that both actually have different hopes and aspirations.
怎麼辦
What can possibly be done?
要單戀都難
One-sided love is also hard
受太大的禮會內疚卻也無力歸還
Receiving too much will cause guilt, yet there's no ability to give back.
也許不愛不難
Maybe it’s easier never to love at all
但如未成佛昇仙也會怕
But I have not yet become a saint and I still fear
愛情前途黯淡
the future of love will be dim.
愛不愛都難
To love or not to love are both hard
未快樂先有責任給予對方面露歡顏
Before my own happiness, I first have the responsibility to ensure the other a face full of joy
得到浪漫 又要有空間
Gotten romance, but now we also need space
得到定局 卻怕去到終站
Having settled the situation, yet I fear that we've settled at our final stop
然後付出多得到少不介意豁達
And when we've given lots and received little, not concerned about the sacrifice,
又擔心 有人看不過眼＊
We then become worried that some will not be able to look over this [We are afraid of each others' opinions].
Repeat ＊
無論熱戀中失戀中
Not matter whether you are in love, or have lost love
都永遠記住第一戒 別要張開雙眼
We must always remember the first rule: Do not love with your eyes open.
