Hello [English translation]

Who says that life is a play?

A self-written, self-directed, self-acted one-act tune

It might get no reaction, or it might go smoothly

Don't be sad, continue

I don't need anyone to define me

Hello? Hello

Why should I have to beg and plead?

To shake my head, to say no

That's a right that I should have

I won't be somebody's prey to be compared

I won't be somebody's maid to be wrapped up1

Hello? Hello

Nobody is above anyone else

Hello

Manipulating people like it's a game; it's one of your commonly-used tricks

You shouldn't break the rules too often

You're afraid of someone actually respecting themselves2

Don't hold back, why should you?

My rules are also very transparent

Hello? Hello

Why should I have to beg and plead?

To shake my head, to say no

That's a right that I should have

I won't be somebody's maid to be wrapped up

Hello? Hello

Nobody is above anyone else

Hello

How can you ask me to

Beg and plead

Beg and plead

Hey listen

I ain't lookin back

Tired of being your puppet

Wanna stop living like that

Matter of fact

It was all good

First few times we met

Days passed by

Started losing confidence in this bet oh yeh yeh

I know they were right

I know they were right about

Don’t judge a book by its cover

But I loved her and

Ya

Now I’m the victim

And I did suffer

Let’s just leave it as a memory

That once I love her

Hello? Hello

1. 收場 = wrap up [like at the end of a play], keeping in line with the "life is (is not?) like a play" theme of the song.2. Lit. "You're afraid of someone breaking in to the forbidden land of self-respect", however it sounds too clunky to put in the English translation.
