梦醒

醒来吧，自以为坠入爱河的女子。

男人嘴里永远充斥着谎言和借口，

他们爱倒打一耙去责怪女人善变。

痴心换不来情深，醒来吧，女子。

别被两句甜言蜜语哄得晕头转向，

原谅他沿着河岸走湿了鞋的故事，

我知道苦口婆心的劝说徒劳无功，

他大献殷勤让你又忘记伤疤回头。

男人和女人，

谁创造出这对神奇生物？

他们会相看两厌又无法离开彼此。

Wake up

Wake up, the lady who thinks she is in love.

Men’s mouths are full of lies and excuses forever,

They love to accuse women of fickle in turn.

Infatuation can’t be exchanged for affection, wake up, lady.

Don’t be coaxed by few sweet words,

Forgive the story of him walking along the riverbank with wet shoes,

I know that bitter persuasion is futile,

He is so dedicated that you forget your scars and look back.

Men and women,

Who created this pair of amazing creatures?

Even a brief glimpse would surely dispel the other party.

but they will not be able to leave each other.
