Exit / Chut Low

(composed and lyrics by Faye Wong, translated by Abby Wu)

I heard that the year 1999 is the end of the world 
by then we must be married
also have a child
before she has the chance to do too many bad things
let god lead her to heaven
perhaps we are able to gain some honor

I have many problems
problems that cannot be solved
I don't have patience
Not many things can satisfy me
I often offend people
looks like it's innate
I hate to be a star
but I want to catch people's attention

Open the entertainment page
A big charity show
Everybody donates money
This is our contribution
I don't like politics
Because I think it's too dangerous
I care about society
but society deteriorates
Ah, nonetheless there's a good side to it

Only believe in love
Hope to have a blissful family
but the fortune-teller says our marriage won't be smooth
says liaison will come by the time you reach forty
this makes me worry
really makes people worry

I want to find an exit
is there any exit
I believe in Buddha
will this ever help
I tried to reach happiness
but what is happiness
I have vaguely a clue
no clue
