你都不允许和客人们一起吃饭
you were not permitted to eat with our guests?
我父母是没有结婚 你是对的
My mother and father never married, you are correct.
但是我是父亲的亲骨肉

所以你才这么穷
legitimize your position and that is why you are poor.

魔鬼的发明
the devil’s own creation!

我爱她
I love her!
我每时每刻都爱着她

我一直觉得在我们牵手以前
I always felt that you already loved me
你就已经爱上我了
when I gave you my hand.
毫无疑问 我们是天作之合

我心里明白 每一次他望向我的瞬间
