刘德华 - 谢谢你的爱 (Andy Lau - Thank You for Your Love)



作词 (Lyrics)：林秋离
作曲 (Composer)：熊美玲

不要问我一生 曾经爱过多少人
bù yào wèn wǒ yī shēng　céng jīng ài guò duō shǎo rén
Don't ask me in my lifetime how many people I've loved

你不懂我伤有多深
nǐ bù dǒng wǒ shāng yǒu duō shēn
You don't understand how deep my wounds are

要剥开伤口总是很残忍
yào bāo kāi shāng kǒu zǒng shì hěn cán rèn
Peeling open wounds is always cruel

劝你别做痴心人 多情暂且保留几分
quàn nǐ bié zuò chī xīn rén　duō qíng zàn qiě bǎo liú jǐ fēn
I advise you not to be a foolish lover, keep a few feelings temporarily

不喜欢孤独 却又害怕两个人相处
bù xǐ huān gū dú　què yòu hài pà liǎng gè rén xiāng chǔ
Don't like loneliness but afraid of being together

这分明是一种痛苦
zhè fēn míng shì yī zhǒng tòng kǔ
This is clearly a kind of pain

在人多时候最沉默 笑容也寂寞
zài rén duō shí hou zuì chén mò　xiào róng yě jì mò
In a crowd, I'm the most silent, even smiles are lonely

在万丈红尘中 啊找个人爱我
zài wàn zhàng hóng chén zhōng　a zhǎo gè rén ài wǒ
In the vast world, find someone to love me

当我避开你的柔情后 泪开始坠落
dāng wǒ bì kāi nǐ de róu qíng hòu　lèi kāi shǐ zhuì luò
When I avoid your tenderness, tears start to fall

是不敢不想不应该 再谢谢你的爱
shì bù gǎn bù xiǎng bù yīng gāi　zài xiè xiè nǐ de ài
It's not that I dare not, don't want to, or shouldn't, thank you for your love

我不得不存在 啊像一颗尘埃
wǒ bù dé bù cún zài　a xiàng yī kē chén āi
I cannot not exist, like a speck of dust

还是会带给你伤害
hái shì huì dài gěi nǐ shāng hài
Still will bring you harm

是不敢不想不应该 再谢谢你的爱
shì bù gǎn bù xiǎng bù yīng gāi　zài xiè xiè nǐ de ài
It's not that I dare not, don't want to, or shouldn't, thank you for your love

我不得不存在 啊在你的未来
wǒ bù dé bù cún zài　a zài nǐ de wèi lái
I cannot not exist, ah, in your future

最怕这样就是带给你永远的伤害
zuì pà zhè yàng jiù shì dài gěi nǐ yǒng yuǎn de shāng hài
What I fear the most is bringing you eternal harm like this

不喜欢孤独 却又害怕两个人相处
bù xǐ huān gū dú　què yòu hài pà liǎng gè rén xiāng chǔ
Don't like loneliness but afraid of being together

Song Interpretation

Short Summary

"谢谢你的爱" (Thank You for Your Love) by 刘德华 (Andy Lau) is a poignant ballad about love, loss, and the deep emotional conflict of a relationship. The song explores the feelings of hurt, loneliness, and the fear of causing eternal harm to someone despite the love shared.

Detailed Insights

The song delves into the emotional complexity of love, starting with the narrator's reluctance to open up about the number of people they've loved, expressing a deep-seated pain that is hard for others to understand. The lyrics reflect on the struggles of wanting to love but fearing the vulnerability that comes with it. The repeated theme of loneliness—disliking solitude but also fearing intimacy—illustrates the internal conflict of not being able to fully embrace a relationship due to past wounds.

The chorus poignantly expresses gratitude for the love received, even as the narrator acknowledges that their existence brings harm, despite their wishes to avoid causing pain. The lyrics also explore the irony of seeking love in a world full of distractions, where the desire for affection and connection conflicts with the fear of enduring more emotional scars. Ultimately, the song speaks to the complexity of love, the fear of repeating past mistakes, and the bittersweet reality of trying to move forward while acknowledging one's past emotional baggage.
