ching青cheun春fong彷fat彿yan因ngo我oi愛nei你hoi開chi始daan但keuk卻ling令ngo我hon看po破oi愛je這go個ji字My youth seemed to begin because I loved you, but it made me see right through the word "love".

ji自nei你waan患seung上sat失yik憶bin便si是ngo我nau扭jyun轉ming命sou數dik的si事Your losing your memory was the thing that turned my fate around.

ji只yan因dong當sat失yik憶jing症faat發jok作ga加sam深mut沒gei記jyu住ngo我daan但keuk卻ling另yau有gang更san新mat蜜wan運Because as your amnesia grew worse, you didn't remember me but found a brand-new romance.

jeung像wu狐lei狸jing精bun般bing並mei未wan允heui許ngo我bou步gan近As if I were some vixen, I'm not allowed to come near you.

mou無wui回yik憶dik的yu餘sang生mong忘diu掉wong往yat日ching情yan人keuk卻yau又gei記jyu住yi移ching情bit別oi愛dik的ming命wan運The rest of your life with no memories: you forget your old love, yet remember the fate of falling for someone new.

mou無wui回yik憶dik的naam男yan人jau就dong當tau偷ak厄yu與mun瞞pin騙pou抱pou抱ngo我bat不gwo過fan份Man with no memories, even if it's cheating and deceit, one hug isn't too much to ask.

man吻ha下loi來kut豁cheut出heui去je這man吻bit別chi似fuk覆seui水joi再loi來ya也heui許yiu要tin天seung上tyun團jeui聚Kiss me, let go of everything; this goodbye kiss is like spilt water, and next time we may have to meet in heaven.

joi再wui回tau頭nei你bat不heui許yu如chang曾ging經bat不dang登deui對nei你ho何yi以seung雙ngaan眼hou好jeung像lau流leui淚You won't let me come back; if we were never a match, why do your eyes look like they're crying?

bei彼chi此jeui追yik憶bat不pa怕oi愛wui會jung終ji止daan但ngo我daai大koi概seung上sai世jou做gwo過taai太do多waai壞si事If we both remembered, I wouldn't fear love ending, but I must have done too many bad things in a past life.

nang能chung從tau頭hoi開chi始gwai跪joi在gaau教tong堂syut說yun願yi意If only we could start again, kneeling in church to say "I do".

yu娛lok樂haang行dik的yan人ying影waan還joi在gai繼juk續faan繁wing榮ngo我joi在syun算jeuk著tim甜yin言mat蜜yu語dik的sau壽ming命The crowds of the entertainment district keep on thriving, while I count how long sweet words will live.
