【歌詞】To My Friends (翻譯於，任凱2008)
To My Friends Who Are......SINGLE
Love is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it.
Love can make you happy but often it hurts,
but love’s only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it.
So take your time and choose the best.
To My Friends Who Are......NOT SO SINGLE
Love isn’t about becoming somebody else’s perfect person.
It’s about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.
To My Friends Who Are......PLAYBOY/GIRL TYPE
Never say “I love you” if you don’t care.
Never talk about feelings if they aren’t there.
Never touch a life if you mean to break a heart.
Never look in the eye when all you do is lie.
The cruelest thing a guy can do to a girl is to let her fall in love
when he doesn’t intend to catch her fall and it works both ways…...
To My Friends Who Are......MARRIED
Love is not about “it’s your fault”, but “I’m sorry”.
Not “where are you”, but “I’m right here”.
Not “how could you”, but “I understand”.
Not “I wish you were”, but “I’m thankful you are”.
To My Friends Who Are......ENGAGED
The true measure of compatibility is not the years spent together
but how good you are for each other.
To My Friends Who Are......HEARTBROKEN
Heartbreaks last as long as you want and cut as deep as you allow them to go.
The challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them.
To My Friends Who Are......NAIVE
How to be in love:
Fall but don’t stumble, be consistent but not too persistent,
share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand,
and get hurt but never keep the pain.
To My Friends Who Are......POSSESSIVE
It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with someone else
but it’s more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.
To My Friends Who Are......AFRAID TO CONFESS
Love hurts when you break up with someone.
It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you.
But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel.
To My Friends Who Are......STILL HOLDING ON
A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love,
only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be
and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn’t worth it.
If he isn’t worth it now he’s not going to be worth it a year or 10 years from now.
Let go......
TO ALL MY FRIENDS
My wish for you is a man/woman whose love is honest, strong, mature,
never-changing, uplifting, protective, encouraging, rewarding and unselfish. 給我的朋友們
給我單身的朋友們
愛就像蝴蝶。
你越追牠，牠越閃躲。
如果就任牠飛舞，牠會不期然而然地飛向你。
愛可以讓你快樂，但它往往讓人心傷。
唯有當你把愛獻給真正值得的人時，它才是與眾不同的。
所以，慢慢來，選擇最好的吧。
給我已經不再形單影隻的朋友們
愛並不意謂著變成對方的完美化身。
愛意謂著找到這個人，來幫助你將個人潛能發揮到達極致。
給我玩世不恭的朋友們
如果你不是真心誠意，就別說「我愛你」。
如果心中沒有種種感受，就別搬弄它們。
如果你只是想讓人心碎，就別觸動他人的生命。
如果你謊話連篇，就別凝視對方的雙眸。
男孩子最殘酷的事，莫過於讓女孩子墜入愛河，
而當她跌倒時卻無心扶她一把，反之亦然……
給我已婚的朋友們
愛對方就別說「這是你的錯」，何不說「對不起」。
別問「你在哪裡」，何不說「我在這兒等著你」。
別問「你怎麼會……」，何不說「我能了解」。
別說「真希望你是……」，何不說「謝謝上天你是……」。
給我已訂婚的朋友們
要真正衡量情投意合，不是看雙方在一起多久了，
而是看彼此對待的真心。
給我心碎的朋友們
心碎的時間長短和傷害深淺，完全取決於你自已。
你的挑戰不是從心碎中撐過來，而是以它為師。
給我純真的朋友們
要如何戀愛呢？
就愛吧，不要躊躇不前；要內外一致，但不要太過執著；
要分享，而且絕不能失之公允；要了解，試著別苛求對方；
可以受傷，但不要讓傷痛長縈胸懷。
給我占有成性的朋友們
看到你所愛的人和別人愉快相處，讓你為之心碎；
然而，知道心愛的人和你廝守一生並不幸福，會令人更加痛苦。
給我害怕表白情意的朋友們
當你和對方分手時，愛叫人暗自神傷。
當對方和你分手時，愛的傷痛有增無減。
但是你愛慕的人對你的心思一無所知時，愛會痛徹心扉。
給我還不肯放手的朋友們
人生傷心事之一，是你邂逅了她，兩人墜入愛河，
到頭來發現兩人註定分手；
而你在這個不值得的人身上浪費了這許多歲月。
他如果不值得守候，那麼，一年甚至十年後也殊無二致。
放手吧……
給我所有的朋友們
我祝福世間男女，祈禱你的愛是真誠，貞定，成熟，
此生不渝，向上提昇，擅於保護，激勵奮發，有價值而無私的。
