Lyrics and translation Joey Yung - 破相




破相
Disfigured
听笑話 盡量笑得不勉強
Hear you joke as I try my best not to smile unnaturally
我望鏡 愁云密布我面上
I look in the mirror, dark clouds loom over my face
皺著眉 旁人問我何解這樣
Frowning, someone asks why I look this way
在這 愉快的現場
In this joyful scene
大概因我 從前撞向一道牆
Perhaps it's because I once crashed into a wall
種下了 難縫合舊創傷
Sowing seeds of an old wound that's hard to mend
破相 原來是要來稱呼這樣
Disfigured, that's what they call it
歷史遺下的賬
A debt left behind by history
是我 頑強到已經
It's me, stubborn to the point of
用盡餘下血清 亦是時間認命
Using up all my remaining serum, now it's time to accept my fate
早知我 越活越冷清
Knowing that the more I live, the colder I become
就別望救星 投降前坐定
I shouldn't have looked for a savior, just giving up before things settle
越笑越見疤痕
The more I laugh, the more my scars show
留了提示誰是極不幸
A reminder of who is truly unfortunate
已不記得那些壞戀人 何以苦淚
I can't remember those bad lovers who made me cry so much
竟將這一臉愁容劃深
Yet, they etched these deep lines of sorrow onto my face
快樂再光臨 可惜我沒能力重生
Happiness may come again, but sadly I can't be reborn
命運已亂了 如何笑
Fate has played its hand, how can I laugh
怕驚動面上餘震
Afraid of disturbing the aftershocks on my face
他那天 說我眼睛很會笑
He once said that my eyes were full of laughter
那十秒 靈魂大概已賣掉
In that moment, I must have sold my soul
卻換來 眉頭額角桃花倒插著
In exchange for my eyebrows and forehead blossoming with peach blossoms in the wrong direction
命書全逆轉了
The book of fate has turned upside down
一笑 留痕其實太深
A single smile leaves a deep scar
來年 由愛變做恨
As the years pass, love turns into hate
裂縫 從眉目裂向心
The cracks spread from my eyes and mouth down to my heart
面色轉暗 兩頰下陷
My face turns dark, my cheeks sink in
被舊愛連累半生
Marred by a love that ruined half of my life
若我敢再次試試蜜運
If I dare to try love again
就越笑越見疤痕
The more I laugh, the more my scars show
留了提示誰是極不幸
A reminder of who is truly unfortunate
已不記得那些壞戀人 何以苦淚
I can't remember those bad lovers who made me cry so much
竟將這一臉愁容劃深
Yet, they etched these deep lines of sorrow onto my face
快樂再光臨 可惜我沒能力重生
Happiness may come again, but sadly I can't be reborn
命運已亂了 如何笑
Fate has played its hand, how can I laugh
怕驚動面上餘震
Afraid of disturbing the aftershocks on my face
遇過無數個某君 段段緣份擦身
I've met countless so-and-sos, relationships that brushed past me
段段尤似利刃
Each like a sharp blade
刀峰過 至發覺我身
Only when the blade has passed do I realize my body
又或是我心 十萬道血痕
Or perhaps it's my heart, has ten thousand scars
