有些东西 Some things

你要是不提 if you don’t mention

我不去回忆 I will not recall

惯了借叹气喘息 I’m used to sigh as a way to pant

再试着碰碰运气 and repeatedly try my luck

总要过下去 Life has to go on

总是妄想 Always hoping

借半生流离 to use the drifting life

换某人怜悯 in exchange of someone’s sympathy

只怪那输得起的 Too bad those who can stand loss

遇不上看得起的 don’t get to meet those who respect them

找谁对不起 Who to say sorry to

我说爱或许是 I say love may be

来日方长的事情 something with a long time to go

等不到人 Even if I can’t hope for someone to come

也至少盼著自己 at least I can hope for myself to be better off

爱终究是 Love is after all

来日方长的秘密 a secret with a long time to go

答案不过是场 The answer is nothing but

好觉睡醒 waking up from a good night’s sleep

Note: 'Long time to go' is the official translation for 来日方长. Shouldn't it be 'A long time to go'? I am confused. The use of articles is always a confusing English language usage issue for Chinese learners.

薛之谦 XUE Zhiqian - 丑八怪 A Very Ugly Person

丑八怪 A Very Ugly Person

演唱：薛之谦

Singer: XUE Zhiqian

Translated by PalmtreeH

如果世界漆黑 其实我很美 

If the world was pitch dark, I could be pretty

在爱情里面进退 最多被消费 

I would get in and out of love, at most being used

无关痛痒的是非 又怎么不对 无所谓 

Right or wrong, so trivial. Why should it matter

如果像你一样 总有人赞美 

If I was like you, always being admired

围绕着我的卑微 也许能消退 

the humbleness I feel might dissipate

其实我并不在意 有很多机会 

In fact I don’t mind. There are still opportunities

像巨人一样的无畏 

Fearless as a giant

放纵我心里的鬼 

unleash the monster in me

可是我不配 

But I don’t deserve it.

丑八怪

An ugly person

能否别把灯打开 

Could you not turn on the light

我要的爱 出没在漆黑一片的舞台 

The love I need is on a pitch dark stage

丑八怪 

An ugly person

在这暧昧的时代 

In this flirty age

我的存在 像意外 

my existence is like an accident

有人用一滴泪 会红颜祸水 

Someone can bring disasters with a drop of tear

有人丢掉称谓 什么也不会 

Someone gives up his name and nothing happens

只要你足够虚伪 就不怕魔鬼 对不对

If you are hypocritical enough, you don’t need to fear monsters. Is that right?

如果剧本写好 谁比谁高贵 

If the script is prepared, who is nobler

我只能沉默以对

I can only keep my silence

美丽本无罪 

Beauty itself was not a sin

当欲望开始贪杯 有更多机会 

When the desire has no limit, there will be more chances

像尘埃一样的无畏 

to be fearless as the dusts

化成灰谁认得谁 

Who will be recognized when he turns into ashes

管他配不配 

Who cares whether he deserves

丑八怪 能否别把灯打开

我要的爱 出没在漆黑一片的舞台

丑八怪 在这暧昧的时代

我的存在 不意外 

My existence is not an accident

丑八怪 其实见多就不怪 

Ugly people. If you see more of us you won’t be surprised

放肆去High 用力踩那不堪一击的洁白 

Get hyper as much as I like, stomping on the fragile pure white

丑八怪 这是我们的时代 

Ugly people. This is our time

我不存在 才意外 

If I did not exist, it would be an accident.

你还要我怎样 

What else do you want from me

你停在了这条我们熟悉的街 

You stopped at this familiar street

把你准备好的台词全念一遍 

and recited through the prepared script

我还在逞强 说着谎 

I was acting strong and telling lies

也没能力遮挡 你去的方向 

but still could not block the way you went

至少分开的时候我落落大方 

At least I was graceful when we parted

我后来都会选择绕过那条街 

Since then I've always avoided that street

又多希望在另一条街能遇见 

but how I wish in another one we could meet

思念在逞强 不肯忘 

Memories were acting strong and wouldn’t let go

怪我没能力跟随 你去的方向 

It’s me to blame. The way you went I could not follow

若越爱越被动 越要落落大方 

The more passively one loves, the more graceful one should be

你还要我怎样 要怎样 

What else do you want from me, what else from me

你突然来的短信就够我悲伤 

The message you suddenly sent was enough to cause my sorrow

我没能力遗忘 你不用提醒我 哪怕结局就这样 

I wasn’t able to forget. You didn’t need to remind, even though this is the end

我还能怎样 能怎样 

What else can I do, what else

最后还不是落得情人的立场 

I was no more than a lover in the end

你从来不会想 我何必这样 

You would never wonder, why I had to be like this

我慢慢地回到自己的生活圈 

I slowly went back to my own circle

也开始可以接触新的人选 

and started to get in touch with new people

爱你到最后 不痛不痒 

Loving you to the end, I felt no pain nor nothing

留言在计较 谁爱过一场 

Who truly loved, the messages were arguing

我剩下一张 没后悔的模样 

I only left an unregretful face

你还要我怎样 要怎样 

What else do you want from me, what else

你千万不要在我婚礼的现场 

Don’t ever show up at my wedding please

我听完你爱的歌 就上了车

I got into the car after finishing listening to the songs you loved the most

爱过你很值得 

Having loved you was worth it

我不要你怎样 没怎样 

I don’t want anything from you, nothing from you

我陪你走的路你不能忘 

Don’t ever forget the journey you had with me

因为那是我 最快乐的时光 

because that was my happiest time

后来我的生活还算理想

After that, my life was fine

没为你落到孤单的下场

I wasn’t left to be alone because of you

有一天晚上 梦一场 

One night I had a dream

你白发苍苍 说带我流浪 

Your hair was all gray and you asked me to vagabond with you

我还是没犹豫 就随你去天堂 

Still, I did not hesitate and went with you to the heaven

不管能怎样 我能陪你到天亮 

No matter what would happen, I can be with you until morning
