我无法帮你预言 委曲求全有没有用
wǒ wú fǎ bāng nǐ yù yán wěi qū qiú quán yǒu méi yǒu yòng
I can't help you predict whether compromising is useful.
可是我多么不舍 朋友爱得那么苦痛
kě shì wǒ duō me bù shě péng yǒu ài dé nà me kǔ tòng
But how much I wish it didn't have to be this way; a friend loves so painfully.
爱可以不问对错 至少要喜悦感动
ài kě yǐ bù wèn duì cuò zhì shǎo yào xǐ yuè gǎn dòng
Love doesn't have to question right or wrong; it should at least bring joy and emotion.
如果他总为别人撑伞 妳何苦非为他等在雨中
rú guǒ tā zǒng wèi bié rén chēng sǎn nǐ hé kǔ fēi wèi tā děng zài yǔ zhōng
If he always holds an umbrella for others, why do you have to wait for him in the rain?
泡咖啡让妳暖手 想挡挡妳心口里的风
pào kā fēi ràng nǐ nuǎn shǒu xiǎng dǎng dǎng nǐ xīn kǒu lǐ de fēng
Making coffee to warm your hands, trying to block the wind in your heart.
妳却想上街走走 吹吹冷风会清醒的多
nǐ què xiǎng shàng jiē zǒu zǒu chuī chuī lěng fēng huì qīng xǐng de duō
Yet you want to go out for a walk; the cold wind will help you wake up more.
妳说妳不怕分手 只有点遗憾难过
nǐ shuō nǐ bù pà fēn shǒu zhǐ yǒu diǎn yí hàn nán guò
You say you're not afraid of breaking up; just a little regret and sadness.
情人节就要来了 剩自己一个
qíng rén jié jiù yào lái le shèng zì jǐ yí gè
Valentine's Day is coming, and you're left alone.
其实爱对了人 情人节每天都过
qí shí ài duì le rén qíng rén jié měi tiān dōu guò
In fact, loving the right person means celebrating Valentine's Day every day.
分手快乐 祝妳快乐 妳可以找到更好的
fēn shǒu kuài lè zhù nǐ kuài lè nǐ kě yǐ zhǎo dào gèng hǎo de
Break up happily, I wish you happiness; you can find someone better.
不想过冬 厌倦沉重 就飞去热带的岛屿游泳
bù xiǎng guò dōng yàn juàn chén zhòng jiù fēi qù rè dài de dǎo yǔ yóu yǒng
Don't want to endure the winter, tired of the heaviness, just fly to a tropical island to swim.

fēn shǒu kuài lè qǐng nǐ kuài lè huī bié cuò de cái néng hé duì de xiāng féng

离开旧爱 像坐慢车 看透彻了心就会是晴朗的
lí kāi jiù ài xiàng zuò màn chē kàn tòu chè le xīn jiù huì shì qíng lǎng de
Leaving your old love is like taking a slow train; once you see through your heart, it will be clear.
没人能把谁的幸福没收 你发誓你会活得有笑容

No one can take away someone else's happiness; you swear you will live with a smile.
