我是最幸福的戀人
I am the luckiest lover
有幸拜在妳石榴裙
with the good fortune to worship you
我被責備鞭打仍當福份
even if you scold or punish me, i'll pretend it's my good fortune

勁辣泡菜上辣汁　就像妳熾熱又提神
extra hot kimchi with hot sauce, its like you - blazing and revitalising
又像那茉莉香薰　清爽中幽香陣陣
also like this jasmine incense - refreshing and fragrant
回首的一笑比鑽石震撼
I recall a smile more dazzling than a diamond
唯一一個缺憾是太迷人
your only fault is way too mesmerising

妳為何太動人太迷人妳是人間稀有的極品
why are you so captivating and mesmerising? you are the most prized on earth
飛鳥共走獸共親友連頑石也盡被妳電暈
birds and beasts, friends and even stones faint at your look
我但求每日為妳燙衫煮飯各種粗重是堅守責任
I only hope to do all chores for you, manual labour will be my responsibility
血汗錢每月笑著全部送贈
smiling, i'll give you all my hard-earned money each month

日後妳變做耆英　亦是最美麗及嫵媚
even when you grow old one day, you'll still be beautiful and charming
若共妳碰著土匪　擋刀擋鎗不願避
if you run into bandits, I'll protect you and not surrender
如急需可以將性命送贈
if needed I can give my life
全心把妳庇護　是我命運
to guard you whole heartedly, that's my destiny

妳為何太動人太迷人妳像人間稀有高麗參
why are you so captivating and mesmerising? you are like the most expensive ginseng
飛鳥共走獸共親友連頑石也盡被妳電暈
birds and beasts, friends and even stones faint at your look
我但求每日為妳燙衫煮飯各種粗重是三生有幸
I only hope to do all chores for you, manual labour is an honour
血汗錢每月笑著全部送贈
smiling, i'll give you all my hard-earned money each month

endnote: i've been debating over whether such a title does the song justice. 肉麻 is a term used to describe something so sappy, corny and mushy that it makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. of course that would be impossible to put into a title so i've chosen "sappy lovesong". sappy lovesong is indeed what this song is, although not in the romantic sense. the song is just having a go at hacken's title "singer of cringeworthy love songs" as most of his songs at the beginning of his career was based on just that. the lyrics of this song are completely overdone and it really requires an undestanding of the title for it not to sound embarassingly lame. then again, you may still hate the song after the backstory...

So please don't take this too seriously. Hacken's just poking fun at his title of "king of sappy lovesongs", so join in and laugh with him. If you don't find it funny, then take up some humor lessons =)
