別勉強
Language: Mandarin
Released: 2019
Lyrics: G.E.M.
Composition: G.E.M.
無所謂一開始誰先愛上了誰
Wú suǒ wèi yī kāi shǐ shéi xiān ài shàng le shéi
It doesn’t matter who fell in love first in the beginning
也別追究最後誰先放棄了誰
Yě bié zhuī jiū zuì hòu shéi xiān fàng qì le shéi
And don’t look into who gave up first in the end
再相愛的刺蝟 越抱緊越心碎
Zài xiāng ài de cì wei yuè bào jǐn yuè xīn suì
The tighter we embrace the hedgehog of love, the more heartbroken we will be
只能怪我們不是天生一對
Zhǐ néng guài wǒ men bù shì tiān shēng yī duì
We can only blame it on the fact that we weren’t made for each other
至少證明我們愛得多麼純粹
Zhì shǎo zhèng míng wǒ men ài dé duō me chún cuì
At least this is proof that we loved each other purely
才會把彼此都愛到傷痕累累
Cái huì bǎ bǐ cǐ dōu ài dào shāng hén lěi lěi
That’s why we loved each other until we were riddled with scars
原來回憶再美 不過一場誤會
Yuán lái huí yì zài měi bù guò yī chǎng wù huì
No matter how beautiful the memories are, they’re just a misunderstanding
就讓它一去不回
Jiù ràng tā yī qù bù huí
Just let them be gone forever
別勉強 走向到不了的遠方
Bié miǎn qiǎng zǒu xiàng dào bù liǎo de yuǎn fāng
Don’t force it and go towards a faraway place that you can’t reach
愛不是對承諾逞強
Ài bù shì duì chéng nuò chěng qiáng
Love isn’t being stubborn about the commitment
你累了 你哭了
Nǐ lèi le nǐ kū le
You’re tired, you’re crying
夜深了 還醒著
Yè shēn le hái xǐng zhe
It’s late and you’re still awake
我捨不得讓你太勉強
Wǒ shě bu de ràng nǐ tài miǎn qiǎng
I can’t bear to have you force it
你知道我如此堅強
Nǐ zhī dào wǒ rú cǐ jiān qiáng
You know how strong I am
孤獨我早晚會習慣
Gū dú wǒ zǎo wǎn huì xí guàn
Sooner or later, I’ll get used to being alone
我們的 我們的 這首歌 唱不完 就別勉強
Wǒ men de wǒ men de zhè shǒu gē chàng bù wán jiù bié miǎn qiǎng
If we can’t finish singing this song of ours, then let’s not force it
年輕的我們把街燈當成月亮
Nián qīng de wǒ men bǎ jiē dēng dàng chéng yuè liang
Our young selves thought of the streetlights as the moon
天真地慶祝屬於我們的浪漫
Tiān zhēn de qìng zhù shǔ yú wǒ men de làng màn
We naively celebrated our romance
夢敵不過天亮
Mèng dí bù guò tiān liàng
Our dreams didn’t stand a chance against dawn
太自由的想像
Tài zì yóu de xiǎng xiàng
Our imaginations were too free
才讓我們都受傷
Cái ràng wǒ men dōu shòu shāng
And made us both get hurt

Wǒ men de wǒ men de zhè shǒu gē chàng bù wán jiù bié miǎn qiǎng

走調的鋼琴 聽著依然熟悉
Zǒu diào de gāng qín tīng zhe yī rán shú xī
A piano that’s out of tune still sounds familiar
耳朵其實想忽略刺耳的聲音
Ěr duo qí shí xiǎng hū lüè cì ěr de shēng yīn
Our ears actually want to overlook the ear-piercing sound
但也許愛你 是必須懂得抽離
Dàn yě xǔ ài nǐ shì bì xū dǒng de chōu lí
But maybe to love you, I need to learn to disengage
這或是我們最後的默契
Zhè huò shì wǒ men zuì hòu de mò qì
This might be our last tacit understanding
