Lyrics and translation 古巨基 - 不如留低我

不如留低我

你說你 太喜歡我
我永遠都不要死
誰知我突然 拿生老病來 嬉戲
我說我 更體恤你
愛到看通生與死
其實即使先去也都歡喜

無論誰先死
剩低的 比去的傷悲
會不禁憎你 讓我靠自己
冥想不會慶祝的鑽禧
留下來想你
後悔地 想破何謂美
留地球嬉戲 羅馬假期中
才明悼念過活 雖生猶死

你喊到 變雙眼皮
你看你這麼怕死
如這刻很美 何必替未來喘氣
我看你 那一扇眉
猶如蝴蝶可以飛
留在腦內都會痛失不起

無論誰先死
剩低的 比去的傷悲
會不禁憎你 讓我靠自己
冥想不會慶祝的鑽禧
留下來想你
後悔地 想破何謂美
留地球嬉戲 羅馬假期中
才明悼念過活 雖生猶死

誰未能先死
活不好 只有更可悲
能自強爭氣 亦懊悔自己
永不給你兩手擋雨霏
還是從今起
信天主 天國重遇你
還未曾分離 別要嚇自己
來日漫漫已是一把年紀

I'd Rather Stay

You said you love me too much,
That I should never die.
But what if I joked about life, aging, illness, and death?
I said I understand you more,
My love for you sees through life and death,
I'd even be happy to go first.

No matter who dies first,
The one left behind will be more heartbroken.
You'd resent me, wanting me to be independent,
Meditating on our uncelebrated diamond jubilee.
Staying on Earth to think of you,
Regretting, unable to understand what beauty is.
Staying on Earth to play, like in Roman Holiday,
Only to realize that mourning is like living death.

You cried until you got double eyelids,
Look at you, you're so afraid of death,
If this moment is so beautiful, why worry about the future?
I looked at your eyebrows,
They're like butterflies that can fly.
If they stayed in my mind, I wouldn't be able to bear the pain.

No matter who dies first,
The one left behind will be more heartbroken.
You'd resent me, wanting me to be independent,
Meditating on our uncelebrated diamond jubilee.
Staying on Earth to think of you,
Regretting, unable to understand what beauty is.
Staying on Earth to play, like in Roman Holiday,
Only to realize that mourning is like living death.

Whoever doesn't die first,
Living a bad life would be even sadder.
Being self-reliant and ambitious, yet regretting,
Never holding your hands to shield you from the rain.
Or starting from now,
Believing in God, that we'll meet again in heaven,
We're not separated yet, don't scare yourself.
The future is long, and we'll both be old.
