[00:11.18]
[00:29.48]各種海角天涯
All corners of the world
[00:31.98]狹路相逢 多不可思議
We encountered each other, that’s unbelievable
[00:36.05]
[00:37.15]煽情愛情電影
Those cheesy Romance movie
[00:39.82]電光火石 已驚天動地
Fast like the lightning, and it’s already world-shaking
[00:43.84]
[00:44.03]浪漫有毒
Romance is poisonous
[00:45.26]總是有人 吐血都甜蜜
Everything is so sweet even when vomiting blood
[00:50.98]
[00:51.55]不像我們
Not like us
[00:53.04]為了方便 湊合在一起
We’re matched together just because it’s convenient

[01:00.95]帶我退隱江湖
Bring me along to leave this underworld [1]
[01:03.56]淡泊名利 生一群天使
Don’t care about wealth and fame, give birth to lots of angels
[01:08.70]或者愛得慘烈
Or, let’s love vigorously
[01:11.24]槍林彈雨 受千夫所指
Under a rain of bullets, facing all kinds of condemning and critics
[01:14.96]
[01:15.35]看圖識字
Based on the word
[01:16.70]「熱戀」上面 就是我和你
The word 「lovestruck」actually describe me and you
[01:23.07]回到現實
Back to the reality
[01:24.59]最受歡迎情話 原來是「送你房子」
The most popular things to say when in love actually is 「Buying you a house 」
[01:30.22]
[01:32.91]我要的 不過是 小小的 羅曼史
What I actually want is just a little bit of romance
[01:40.80]有燭光 有玫瑰 有糾纏 有盟誓
With candlelight, rose, getting entangled sometimes and vows
[01:47.70]不需要 很高級
Don’t have to be very high class
[01:51.69]只求能 愛到死
Only hope that we can love until death

Anyway, I’m worthless
[02:01.90]
[02:03.40]其實
Actually
[02:04.55]我要的 不過是 標準的 羅曼史
What I want is just a standard romance
[02:12.18]從相愛 到分離 場場是 高潮戲
From getting in love to breakups, every scene is the climax
[02:19.16]粉紅色 包裝紙
The gift wrapped in pink
[02:23.17]一拆開 竟然是
When it’s opened, turn out to be
[02:27.96]該死的 寫實主義
The bloody Realism
[02:31.79]眼淚 不夠寫成詩
The tears are not enough to write a poem
[02:37.99]
[02:45.19]讓我最後一次
Let me do it one last time
[02:47.75]靠你胸膛 夜賞櫻花雨
Laying on your chest, viewing the Cherry Blossom rain at night
[02:52.02]
[02:53.07]弦樂鋪天蓋地
Strings music is overwhelmed
[02:55.61]全國哀悼 情感的葬禮
National day of mourning at the funeral of our love
[02:59.57]
[02:59.75]我想慢慢 用血刺青 分手的淒迷
I wanna tattoo the melancholy breakup with blood slowly
[03:07.36]你用手機 隨隨便便 發我兩個字
You just use your phone and simply send me 2 words only
[03:11.46]僅此而已
That’s all
[03:14.42]
[03:15.28]我要的 不過是 小小的 羅曼史
What I actually want is just a little bit of romance
[03:23.00]有燭光 有玫瑰 有糾纏 有盟誓
With candlelight, rose, getting entangled sometimes and vows
[03:29.95]不需要 很高級
Don’t have to be very high class
[03:33.93]最好能 愛到死
It’s better to love until death
[03:38.77]反正我 也很便宜
Anyway, I’m very cheap
[03:44.42]
[03:45.79]也許
Maybe
[03:46.75]我要的 其實是 重口的 羅曼史
What I want actually is a hardcore romance
[03:54.54]哀豔到 心臟麻痺
Violently sad and beautiful, until my heart is paralysed.
[03:58.50]很可惜
Too bad
[04:01.41]粉紅色 包裝紙
The gift wrapped in pink
[04:05.42]一拆開 竟然是
When it’s opened, turn out to be
[04:10.30]我們的 平凡無奇
Ours most ordinary and mediocre moment
[04:14.23]浪漫 已死在哪裡
Where the hell is the romance [2]
[04:21.25]
Notes
[1] I’ve translated “江湖” into Underworld, it also means gang hood or society.
[2] This line “浪漫 已死在哪裡” literally means “where did the romance die?”
[3] The title, 《愛的羅曼死》 is tricky, it means “Love Romance” but there’s a playing of word. So it means “Bad Love Romance” or “Dead Love Romance”.
