Betrayal
雨,不停落下來
yu3,bu4 ting2 luo4 xia4 lai2
Rains can’t stop falling down
花,怎麼都不開
hua1, zen3 me5 dou1 bu4 kai1
Flowers, why all don’t bloom?
儘管我細心灌溉 你說不愛就不愛
jin4 guan3 wo3 xi4 xin1 guan4 gai4, ni3 shuo1 bu2 ai4 jiu4 bu2 ai4
Even though I attentively irrigate, you said if you don’t love, then you won’t love
我一個人, 欣賞悲哀
wo3 yi2 ge5 ren2, xin1 shang3 bei1 ai1
I, alone, appreciate the sorrowfulness
愛, 只剩下無奈
ai4, zhi3 sheng4 xia4 wu2 nai4
Love, leaves only helplessness
我, 一直不願再去猜
wo3 yi4 zhi2 bu2 yuan4 zai4 qu4 cai1
I have been refusing to guess
鋼琴上黑鍵之間 永遠都夾著空白
gang1 qin2 shang4 hei1 jian4 zhi1 jian1, yong3 yuan3 dou1 jia2 zhe5 kong4 bai2
The places between the black keys and white keys, always sandwich blank spaces
缺了一塊 就不精采
que1 le5 yi2 kuai4, jiu4 bu4 jing1 cai3
Short of one piece, then it won’t be spectacular
緊緊相依的心如何 say goodbye
jin3 jin3 xiang1 yi1 de5 xin1 ru2 he2, say goodbye
How can two tightly interdependent hearts say goodbye to each other
你比我清楚還要我說明白
ni3 bi3 wo3 qing1 chu3, hai2 yao4 wo3 shuo1 ming2 bai2
You know better than I, but you still want me to say it clearly
愛太深會讓人瘋狂的勇敢
ai4 tai4 shen1 hui4 rang4 ren2 feng1 kuang2 de5 yong3 gan3
Loving too deeply will make people crazily brave
我用背叛自己 完成你的期盼
wo3 yong4 bei4 pan4 zi4 ji3, wan2 cheng2 ni3 de5 qi2 dai4
I use betraying myself to fulfill your expectations
把手放開不問一句 say goodbye
ba3 shou3 fang4 kai1 bu2 wen4 yi2 ju4 say goodbye
I release my hands, without even asking one sentence, I say goodbye
當作最後一次對你的溺愛
dang1 zuo4 zui4 hou4 yi2 ci4 dui4 ni3 d5 ni4 ai4
As the last indulgence to you
冷冷清清淡淡今後都不管
leng3 leng3 qing1 qing1 dan4 dan4 jin1 hou4 dou1 bu4 guan3
Cold, cheerless and indifferent from this moment on, I won’t be concerned
只要你能愉快
zhi3 yao4 ni3 neng2 yu2 kuai
So long as you will be happy **
心, 有一句感慨
xin1, you3 yi2 ju4 ga3 kai4
In my heart there is one sentence of regret
我, 還能夠跟誰對白
wo3 hai2 neng2 gou4 gen1 shui2 dui4 bai2
With whom can I still converse?
在你關上門之前 替我再回頭看看
zai4 ni3 guan1 shang4 men2 zhi1 qian2, ti4 wo3 zai4 hui2 tou2 ka4n kan4
Before you close the door, look back again for me
那些片段 還在不在
na4 xie1 pian4 duan4, hai2 zai4 bu2 zai4
Those fragments (of us), (are they) still there?

Quotes of betrayal and infidelity:
One is easily fooled by that which one loves. — Jean Baptiste Poquelin Moliere
It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. — Thomas Paine quotes
The parents have a right to say that no teacher paid by their money shall rob their children of faith in God and send them back to their homes skeptical, or infidels, or agnostics, or atheists. — William Jennings Bryan quotes
Those who are faithless know the pleasures of love; it is the faithful who know love’s tragedies. — Oscar Wilde
One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry. — Oscar Wilde
The cruelest lies are often told in silence. — Robert Louis Stevenson
When love becomes labored we welcome an act of infidelity towards ourselves to free us from fidelity. — François de la Rochefoucauld quotes
The truth that survives is simply the lie that is pleasantest to believe. — H. L. Mencken
Betrayal can only happen if you love. — John Le Carre
Never tell a loved one of an infidelity: you would be badly rewarded for your troubles. Although one dislikes being deceived, one likes even less to be undeceived. — Ninon De Lenclos
One should rather die than be betrayed. There is no deceit in death. It delivers precisely what it has promised. Betrayal, though … betrayal is the willful slaughter of hope. — Steven Deitz quotes
Then you should have died! Died, rather than betray your friends, as we would have done for you! — Joanne Kathleen Rowling quotes
I hate the idea of causes, and if I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.
E. M. Forster quotes
