Paroles et traduction 陳慧琳 - 斷．捨．離

斷．捨．離

當我得一歲 可以夢想誰
只會想安睡 懷著空空兩袖未怕失去
從學會不捨 不棄
爭到你 留住卻力竭筋疲 寧願從未歡喜
跌爛了甚麼 只落得一聲 算了 便忘記
斷崖處
捨不捨得也化
離開縱心亂如麻 情形沒更差
斷腸處
捨棄未必比得到可怕
離開你留低了疤 少個人牽掛
希冀太多了 怎渴望逍遙
總怕你跑掉 懷念相識以前沒這必要
期望要得寵 失控
緊張到 忘掉有沒有歡容
懷念似水晶般 太容易受損
心越不想它破碎 越沉重
斷崖處
捨不捨得也化
離開縱心亂如麻 情形沒更差
斷腸處
捨棄未必比得到可怕
離開你留低了疤 少個人牽掛
斷崖處
捨不捨得也化
離開你走獨木橋 才能遇上他
斷腸處
捨棄未必比得到可怕
離不了由傷變疤 起碼無牽掛

Severance

When I was just one, who could I dream of?
All I wanted was to sleep soundly, with empty sleeves, fearing no loss.
From learning not to let go, not to abandon,
Fighting to win you, but keeping you exhausted me, I wish I had never rejoiced.
What was broken, fell with a sigh of "Forget it," and was forgotten.
At the edge of the cliff,
Whether I'm willing or not, it fades away.
Even if leaving makes my heart a mess, things won't be worse.
At the point of heartbreak,
Letting go may not be as scary as getting.
Leaving you left a scar, one less person to worry about.
With too many hopes, how can I yearn for freedom?
Always afraid you'd run away, missing the time before we met, there was no need for this.
Hoping to be favored, losing control,
So nervous, I forgot if there was ever joy.
Memories are like crystals, too easily damaged.
The more my heart doesn't want them to break, the heavier they become.
At the edge of the cliff,
Whether I'm willing or not, it fades away.
Even if leaving makes my heart a mess, things won't be worse.
At the point of heartbreak,
Letting go may not be as scary as getting.
Leaving you left a scar, one less person to worry about.
At the edge of the cliff,
Whether I'm willing or not, it fades away.
Leaving you, walking the tightrope, only then can I meet him.
At the point of heartbreak,
Letting go may not be as scary as getting.
Unable to leave, the wound becomes a scar, at least there's no worry.
