那么多年自作聪明付出了真心

nà me duō nián zì zuò cōng míng fù chū le zhēn xīn

All these years I presumptuously gave my everything

总以为换到一个公平的回应

zǒng yǐ wéi huàn dào yī gè gōng píng de huí yīng

Always assuming it'll exchange for a fair response

你床边的蜷曲头发残酷地说明

nǐ chuáng biān de quán qǔ tóu fā cán kù dì shuō míng

The curled strand of hair by your bedside cruelly spelled out

缠绵的爱比不上一时的高兴

chán mián de ài bǐ bú shàng yī shí de gāo xìng

That a lingering love can never match up to a moment of happiness

你的多情出卖我的爱情 赔了我的命

nǐ de duō qíng chū mài wǒ de ài qíng  péi le wǒ de mìng

Your affections have betrayed my love; and sacrificed my life

我卖了一个世界却换来灰烬

wǒ mài le yī gè shì jiè què huàn lái huī jìn

I sold an entire world but receive ashes in return

你的绝情出卖所有爱情 好梦一下子清醒

nǐ de jué qíng chū mài suǒ yǒu ài qíng  hǎo mèng yī xià zǐ qīng xǐng

Your cruelty has betrayed all love; a beautiful dream awakes suddenly

感情像个闹钟按一下就停

gǎn qíng xiàng gè nào zhōng àn yī xià jiù tíng

Feelings, like an alarm clock, end/stop with a press

那么多年得意忘形闭起了眼睛

nà me duō nián dé yì wàng xíng bì qǐ le yǎn jīng

All these years I shut my eyes conceitedly

还以为握紧一块安稳的水晶

hái yǐ wéi wò jǐn yī kuài ān wěn de shuǐ jīng

And assumed that I've clasp tightly onto a piece of stable crystal

你床边的陌生烟蒂残酷地说明

nǐ chuáng biān de mò shēng yān dì cán kù dì shuō míng

The unknown aroma of cigarette smoke by your bed side cruelly spelled out

内心的爱比不上胸膛的温馨

nèi xīn de ài bǐ bú shàng xiōng táng de wēn xīn

That the love deep inside can never match up to warmth on the chest

那么多年得意忘形闭起了眼睛

nà me duō nián dé yì wàng xíng bì qǐ le yǎn jīng

All these years I shut my eyes conceitedly

却看到这样血肉模糊的风景

què kàn dào zhè yàng xuè ròu mó hú de fēng jǐng

But see this blurred and mutilated scenery instead

music: chinese, *lyrics translations: from chinese, 周传雄 Zhou Chuan Xiong
