It Turns Out, You Do Not Want Anything

This song brings back a lot of bittersweet memories for me. I remembered shedding of tears, unanswered questions and confused moments.

It's been a while since I've listened to this song; I came across it in my iTunes the other day. I thought I'd share it with you. It's an old favourite of mine.

I agree with the singer (A-mei) when she sang "what woman isn't selfish nor hopeful in love?"

原來你什麼都不要

我知道這樣不好
也知道你的愛只能那麼少
我只有不停的要　要到你想逃

淚濕的枕頭晒乾就好
眼淚在你的心裡只是無理取鬧
以為在你身後　是我一輩子的驕傲
原來你什麼都不想要

我不要你的呵護　你的玫瑰
只要你好好久久愛我一遍
就算虛榮也好　貪心也好
哪個女人對愛不自私　不奢望

我不要你的承諾　不要你的永遠
只要你真真切切愛我一遍
就算虛榮也好　貪心也好
最怕你把沉默　當做對我的回答

我不要你的承諾　不要你的永遠
只要你好好久久愛我一遍
就算虛榮也好　貪心也好
哪個女人對愛不自私　不奢望

原來你什麼都不想要

Translation:
I know it's not good like this
I also know that your love can only be so little
I only have unending desires, desires that make you want to escape

It's good if a pillow soaked by tears can be dried
But in your heart, tears are only irrational and cause quarrels
I had thought that being behind you would be my whole life's pride
It turns out, you don't want anything

I don't want your protection, I don't want your rose
I just want you to love me well for a long time, one time
Even if it's in vain, it's okay; even if it's greedy, it's okay
What woman isn't selfish in love, nor hopeful?

I don't want your promise, I don't want your forever
I just want you to truly love me, one time
Even if it's in vain, it's okay; even if it's greedy, it's okay
I'm most afraid that you will use silence as your answer to me

I don't want your promise, I don't want your forever
I just want you to love me well for a long time, one time
Even if it's in vain, it's okay; even if it's greedy, it's okay
What woman isn't selfish in love, nor hopeful?

It turns out, you don't want anything
