爱你又不能多说，该是种怎样的人设

爱你又不能多说，该是种怎样的人设

I am afraid that love will make us modest most of the time, saying something we don't mean a thing, while leaving the rest more important silent within the gut. We agree to do everything in the most considerate way, just to make it comfortable between both of us. That's exactly what the song is about, describing someone who would rather be a gentleman, acting as a stranger in order to be close to the one he cares without causing extra disturbance or embarrassment.

绅士

Gentleman

薛之谦

好久没见了什么角色呢

It's been a while

That we haven't met each other

细心装扮着

Dress up with great care

白色衬衫的袖扣是你送的

With the cuff link on the white shirt

You gave me last year

尽量表现着像不在意的

I act as if I wouldn't care

频繁暴露了自欺欺人者

But I get myself exposed as a self deceiver

越掩饰越深刻

Getting obvious

When I'm trying to fake

你说我说听说

Wanna tell you

Oh no

Silent

忍着言不由衷的段落

Swallow the section against my intention

我反正决定自己难过

Anyway I decide to keep everything to myself

我想摸你的头发

How I wanna touch your hair

只是简单的试探啊

It's simply a detection fair

我想给你个拥抱

How I wish to give you a hug

像以前一样可以吗

Like the one years ago we shared

你退半步的动作认真的吗

Do you mean it by taking a step aback

小小的动作伤害还那么大

Slight gesture but it hurts like heart attack

我只能扮演个绅士

Am I supposed to be like a gentleman

才能和你说说话

Just to talk with you in a way crack

我能送你回家吗

Could I accompany you home

可能外面要下雨啦

It's going to rain soon

我能给你个拥抱

Could I give you a hug

像朋友一样可以吗

Like the own between friends

我忍不住从背后抱了一下

I couldn't help embracing you from behind

尺度掌握在不能说想你啊

All the words about missing you much

I keep silent

你就当刚认识的绅士

Just take me as a gentleman

闹了个笑话吧

You bump into for the moment

尽量表现着善解人意的

Try as hard as I could

To be considerate

频繁暴露了不欲人知的

But I get the unknown exposed

Against my wish

越掩饰越深刻

Getting obvious

When I'm trying to fake

想说听说别说

Wanna tell you

Oh no

Silent

忍着言不由衷的段落

Swallow the section against my intention

我反正注定留在角落

Anyway I'm doomed to stay

In the corner alone

我想摸你的头发

How I wanna touch your hair

只是简单的试探啊

It's simply a detection fair

我想给你个拥抱

How I wish to give you a hug

像以前一样可以吗

Like the one years ago we shared

你退半步的动作认真的吗

Do you mean it by taking a step aback

小小的动作伤害还那么大

Slight gesture but it hurts like heart attack

我只能扮演个绅士

Am I supposed to be like a gentleman

才能和你说说话

Just to talk with you in a way crack

尺度掌握在不能说想你啊

All the words about missing you much

I keep silent

你就当刚认识的绅士

Just take me as a gentleman

闹了个笑话吧

You bump into for the moment

你能给我只左手

May I have your left hand

牵你到马路那头吗

Guide you across the road till the other end

我会像以前一样

Keep my eyes fixed on

The cars passing by

看着来往的车子啊

The way I did

Pretending not to have you in my eyes

我们的距离在眉间皱了下

Distance between us

Flickers around the frown

Then grows wide

迅速还原成路人的样子啊

We are back to the status of stranger

越有礼貌我越害怕

The more courteous I am

The more fear grows inside

绅士要放得下

I'm supposed to let it pass
