拨着大雾默默地在觅我的去路

Pushing through the dense fog silently, seeking my path
但愿路上幸运遇着是你的脚步

Hoping to encounter your footsteps luckily along the way
我要再见你 只想将心声透露 爱慕

I want to see you again, just want to reveal my affection
独自望着路上密密画满的记号
duk6 zi6 mong6 zoek6 lou6 soeng5 mat6 mat6 waa2 mun5 dik1 gei3 hou6
Alone, staring at the densely drawn marks on the road
像是混乱又像特别为了指我路

It's like chaos, yet it seems specially made to guide me
到处去碰 到处去看 堕入陷阱 方知太糊涂

Bumping everywhere, looking everywhere, falling into a trap, realizing it's too foolish
真心被俘虏 仿佛遭圈套 探索这爱路

Heart truly captured, as if ensnared, exploring this path of love
你那美态已叫我醉倒

Your graceful demeanor has already intoxicated me
我堕入情网 你却在网外看 始终不释放
ngo5 do6 jap6 cing4 mong5 nei5 koek3 zoi6 mong5 ngoi6 hon3 ci2 zung1 bat1 sik1 fong3
I fall into the emotional web, yet you watch from outside, never releasing
你笑笑看看我 像是望着猎物 我心已伤

You smile as you watch me, like looking at prey, my heart is already hurt
我堕入情网 你却在网外看 始终不释放
ngo5 do6 jap6 cing4 mong5 nei5 koek3 zoi6 mong5 ngoi6 hon3 ci2 zung1 bat1 sik1 fong3
I fall into the emotional web, yet you watch from outside, never releasing
恨 爱 心中激荡

Hate, love, heart tumultuous
这陷阱 这陷阱 这陷阱 偏我遇上
