Hard to say Lyrics English Translation by Karencici
The songwriter uses a fragile heart shattered by one blow to describe the damage in the relationship. A key line translates to, ‘I love you, but I just can’t say it out loud.’ This lyricist builds a story around regret and emotional exhaustion, where the singer blames only herself.
Baobei jinwan de wo youdian zuiBaby, I’m a little drunk tonight.
Bie lihui ni ting de naxie huanghuaDon’t listen to those lies you’ve heard.
Wo meibanfa ba zhenxiang dou zhengming gei ni aI’ve got no way to prove the whole truth to you.
So wode baobeiSo, my baby,
Ni bie kan wo zha ye hui leidon’t look at me, even blinking makes me feel weary.
Cuiruo de xin bei ni yiji jiusuiYou shattered my fragile heart with just one blow.
So what you say?So, what do you say?
