Tanya Chua (蔡健雅) - 喘一口气 | Take a breath[1]
Lyrics: 小寒 (Xiaohan)
Composition: 蔡健雅 (Tanya Chua)
Translated by @renn @ hallyuplus.net
紧闭着双唇 不坦诚
明明恨 还否认 还死撑
可要是连灵魂 都受损
再强韧 往返折腾 也会疼
jǐn bì zhe shuāng chún / bù tǎn chéng
míng míng hèn / hái fǒu rèn / hái sǐ chēng
kě yào shi lián líng hún / dōu shòu sǔn
zài qiáng rèn / wǎng fǎn zhē teng / yě huì téng
[ I] press [my] lips tightly closed, withholding frankness.
Even though [ I] clearly hate [you], [ I] still deny [it], still stubbornly hold out.
However, if even [my] soul suffers damage,
Then no matter how tough and resilient [I am], [ I] will also feel pain from being repeatedly tormented.
有力气推开门 干嘛等
打起了精神 为我不为别人
有时要学会耍狠 总为难自己太愚蠢
不过份 追求未曾 的安稳
yǒu lì qì tuī kāi mén / gàn ma děng
dǎ qǐ le jīng shén / wèi wǒ bù wèi bié rén
yǒu shí yào xué huì shuǎ hěn / zǒng wéi nán zì jǐ tài yú chǔn
bù guò fèn / zhuī qiú wèi céng / de ān wěn
If [ I] have the strength to push open the door, why wait?
[ I] have roused [my]self. [This is] for me, not for anybody else.
Sometimes, one has to learn to be ruthless. Always making things difficult for oneself is too foolish [of a way to live].
[It is] not undue to pursue the stability that [I've] never [had].

喘一口气这回自己优先(过得好一点)
曾是个不可思议的概念(就能好一点)
屏住呼吸压在胸前 好多誓言
已都走远 Breathe again
chuǎn yī kǒu qì zhè huí zì jǐ yōu xiān (guò de hǎo yī diǎn)
céng shì gè bù kě sī yì de gài niàn (jiù néng hǎo yī diǎn)
bǐng zhù hū xī yā zài xiōng qián / hǎo duō shì yán
yǐ dōu zǒu yuǎn / Breathe again
Take a breath; this time, [I'll] put [my]self first. (Live a bit better)
[This] had once been an unfathomable concept. (Then it'll be a bit better)
Holding a breath. Pressing [it] against the chest. So many vows
Have already all gone far away. Breathe again.
喘一口气生命依然新鲜(终点是起点)
感情太窒息是种过敏原(划上了句点)
耸一耸肩别拖延 自我救援
是闭上眼 To breathe again
I will breathe again
chuǎn yī kǒu qì shēng mìng yī rán xīn xiān (zhōng diǎn shì qǐ diǎn)
gǎn qíng tài zhì xī shì zhǒng guò mǐn yuán (huà shàng le jù diǎn)
sǒng yī sǒng jiān bié tuō yán / zì wǒ jiù yuán
shì bì shàng yǎn / To breathe again
I will breathe again
Take a breath; life is still fresh. (The end is the beginning)
Feelings are too suffocating. [They] are a type of allergen. (Having had a period put on [it])
Give a shrug of the shoulders. Don't put it off. Self-rescue
Is closing one's eyes to breathe again.
I will breathe again.
管他下座城 的行程
转过身 让纯真 能保温
想快乐是人们 最基本
往前奔 只想单纯 去完成
guǎn tā xià zuò chéng / de xíng chéng
zhuǎn guò shēn / ràng chún zhēn néng bǎo wēn
xiǎng kuài lè shì rén men / zuì jī běn
wǎng qián bēn / zhǐ xiǎng dān chún qù wán chéng
Who cares about the itinerary of the next city?
Turn around. Allow innocence to preserve [its] warmth.
Wanting to be happy is everyone's most fundamental [desire].
Running forward, [ I] just simply want to accomplish [that].
喜欢划过清晨 风的吻
只因为我能 不是逃离他人
活得够不够完整 爱怎样不必谁批准
这一生 不许伤痕 再得逞
xǐ huān huá guò qīng chén / fēng de wěn
zhǐ yīn wèi wǒ néng / bù shì táo lí tā rén
huó de gòu bù gòu wán zhěng / ài zěn yàng bù bì shéi pī zhǔn
zhè yī shēng / bù xǔ shāng hén / zài dé chěng
[ I] like the kiss of the wind that blows across the early morning
Only because I can, not [because I'm] running away from others.
[Am I] living life completely enough? However [ I] want to be and whatever [ I] want to do don't need somebody else's ratification.
In this life, [ I] won't allow [my] scars to have their way again.

喘一口气生命依然新鲜(终点是起点)
感情太窒息是种过敏原(划上了句点)
远离你身边 我要 走多远
才闭上眼 不浮现 你的脸
chuǎn yī kǒu qì shēng mìng yī rán xīn xiān (zhōng diǎn shì qǐ diǎn)
gǎn qíng tài zhì xī shì zhǒng guò mǐn yuán (huà shàng le jù diǎn)
yuǎn lí nǐ shēn biān / wǒ yào / zǒu duō yuǎn
cái bì shàng yǎn / bù fú xiàn / nǐ de liǎn
Take a breath; life is still fresh. (The end is the beginning)
Feelings are too suffocating. [They] are a type of allergen. (Having had a period put on [it])
Getting away from you, how far must I walk
To be able to close [my] eyes and not have your face appear?
嗯 Breathe again
Breathe again breathe again breathe again
I will breathe again
en / Breathe again
Breathe again breathe again breathe again
I will breathe again
Mm breathe again
Breathe again breathe again breathe again
I will breathe again
T/N:
[1] 喘一口气: The breath that is taken here is a laborious one. It comes after not being able to breath well (due to exertion, being stifled emotionally, etc).
