不是我的我不要 [Bat si ngo dik ngo bat yiu] [English translation]

Who knows how to cherish, who single-handedly wrecks it all

Who slowly learned all sorts of schemes of the heart

Who already has wisdom and still wants control

Wrestles hard with the world and, eventually, falls heavily

One cannot have what belongs to others

Like three-year-olds in a park fighting over a beach ball

So everything that belongs to him

I don't even expect to possess

Poverty and wealth, they both don't matter

What sparkles needn't be brandished to the death

Man's existence in the world is so inconspicuous

To be so stupid as to break one's back for a bagatelle

To be troubled by desire

But present you as a prize to me and I'll accept

I've never wanted what I've yet to get a hold of

For all your derision I have never begged for mercy

Who holds a grudge for how much you've wrenched from me

Who knows how to cherish, who single-handedly wrecks it all

Who slowly learned all sorts of schemes of the heart

Who already has wisdom and still wants control

Don't say if people want to be greedy, they should be greedy at all costs

One cannot have what belongs to others

I no longer care who is still fighting whom

So everything that belongs to him

I don't even expect to possess
