Notes Jolin Tsai 蔡依林 - Me (我) (Cantonese to English translation)

Lyrics：Xiao Han 小寒

Melody：Tanya Chua 蔡健雅

當退去光鮮外表當我卸下睫毛膏
脫掉高跟鞋的腳是否還能站得高
當一天掌聲變少可還有人對我笑
停下歌聲和舞蹈我是否重要

When my bright exterior is gone, when I remove my mascara
Can my legs, high heels removed, still stand tall?
One day, when the applause lessens, will someone still smile at me?
When the singing and dancing stops, will I be important?

我鏡子裡的她好陌生的臉頰
哪個我是真的哪個是假
我用別人的愛定義存在怕生命空白
卻忘了該不該讓夢掩蓋當年那女孩
假如你看見我這樣的我
膽怯又軟弱
會閃躲還是說你更愛我

The woman in my mirror, what a strange face
Which me is real, which is fake?
I use others’ love to define my existence, scared that my life will be empty
But I forgot if I should use my dreams to hide that girl from way back
If you see me, me like this,
Timid and vulnerable,
Will you dodge or say you love me more?

當一天舞台變小還有誰把我看到
莫非是我不夠好誰會來擁抱
我鏡子裡的她好陌生的臉頰
哪個我是真哪個是假
我用別人的愛定義存在怕生命空白
卻忘了該不該讓夢掩蓋當年那女孩
假如你看見我這樣的我
膽怯又軟弱
會閃躲還是說你更愛我

One day when the stage becomes smaller, who will still look at me?
Could it be that I’m not good enough? Who will come and hug me?
The woman in my mirror, what a strange face
Which me is real, which is fake?
I use others’ love to define my existence, scared that my life will be empty
But I forgot if I should use my dreams to hide that girl from way back
If you see me, me like this,
Timid and vulnerable,
Will you dodge or say you love me more?

我怕沒有人愛不算存在生命剩空白
卻忘了我應該誠實對待當年那女孩

I’m afraid that having no one to love me means I haven’t existed, and that my life will be a blank
But I forgot that I should honestly treat that girl from way back

假如你看見我這樣的我
窩在個角落
會閃躲還是說你更愛我
會閃躲還是說你更愛我

If you see me, me like this,
Curling up in that corner,
Will you dodge or say you love me more?
Will you dodge or say you love me more?
