Forgetting You Is Like Forgetting Me / Mon Dil Nei Jern Mon Dil Ngor

(composed by Leslie Cheung Kwok-Wing, lyrics by Lin Xi, translated by Thomas X. Lo)

Don't want to go back once again, but don't want to miss out
Between wanting and not wanting, in confusion
After reuniting, after our hair becomes white
How will I know, if it's fiery love, how does it, burn me away
 
If you still recognize this me
Don't blame me for changing, this ending
Arrogantly, stubbornly
Because of wanting to wait for you, to see clearly
Going crazy for you, this is wrong
 
* Love me?  Don't love but yearn for
Wait til my hair becomes white, it's not covered with dust
Love me?  But how dare I ask
Forgetting you like forgetting me
Living and dying are both for love, will I not have it
Only get bitter love, how will I last
It's obvious there is no future
But why do I, continue to hold out my hand
Allowing you to lessen, your guilt *
 
Repeat *
 
Living, can't clearly estimate
Dying, can't clearly estimate
Hair, completely white
