Lyrics and translation 楊千嬅 - 人情世故

人情世故

太容易付出
卻不容易相處
難怪我總是被辜負
太多的領悟
卻太少的幸福
是天生性格太頑固

我行我素
那樣又何苦
我又不是不懂人情世故

假裝甚麼都糊塗
假裝甚麼都瞑目
小聰明沒用
扮小人物 完全作不了主
好像沒有唸過書
好像需要受保護
誰犯了錯誤
不動聲息饒恕
男人就會滿足

我的回憶錄
鋪滿難走的路
儘管只是攜手漫步
開始到結束
不會無緣無故
一定是我過於在乎

我行我素
那樣又何苦
我又不是不懂人情世故

假裝甚麼都糊塗
假裝甚麼都瞑目
小聰明沒用
扮小人物 完全作不了主
好像沒有唸過書
好像需要受保護
一收到禮物
就可愛像寵物
就按劇本演出

假裝甚麼都糊塗
假裝甚麼都瞑目
小聰明沒用
扮小人物 完全作不了主
假裝不懂得憤怒
假裝不懂得投訴
情深沒有用
難道就靠講究人情世故

好像沒有唸過書
好像不會有感觸
放棄我態度
得到愛情前途
我該不該演出

Human Feelings

It's too easy to give
but not easy to get along with
No wonder I'm always being let down
Too many realizations
but too little happiness
Is my innate personality too stubborn

Do as I please
Why bother
It's not like I don't understand human feelings

Pretend to be confused
pretend to turn a blind eye
Cleverness is useless
Pretending to be weak, completely unable to take charge
Seemingly uneducated
Seemingly in need of protection
Whoever makes a mistake
Forgive without a word
Men will be satisfied

My memoirs
Paved with a difficult path
Despite just walking hand in hand
From beginning to end
It won't be for no reason
It must be because I care too much

Do as I please
Why bother
It's not like I don't understand human feelings

Pretend to be confused
pretend to turn a blind eye
Cleverness is useless
Pretending to be weak, completely unable to take charge
Seemingly uneducated
Seemingly in need of protection
As soon as I receive a gift
I become as cute as a pet
I act according to the script

Pretend to be confused
pretend to turn a blind eye
Cleverness is useless
Pretending to be weak, completely unable to take charge
Pretend not to be angry
Pretend not to complain
Deep affection is useless
Could it be that it all depends on human feelings

Seemingly uneducated
Seemingly unemotional
Give up my attitude
Get love and a future
Should I put on a show
