JT 的翻譯小窩

Devil Doesn't Bargain 應該是專輯曲目裡最為受歡迎的一首

整首歌的意境是在敘述 Alec 以一個旁觀者的角度提供建議

他提供建議給他一位朋友 告訴他 江山易改本性難移

本就是惡質的人是很難脫離本有的自我的

但他的朋友卻始終相信自己的另一半會改過向上

這首歌的 DEVIL 即是在講這段感情裡那個總是以自我為中心的男人

Bargain 作為動詞有討價還價的意思，在這首歌是形容能渣男那方

意即他是一個自我為重且不允許任何不利於他的事發生的人

[Intro]
The devil doesn't bargain 惡魔是不能討價還價的

[Verse 1]
It's useless, don't do this, it's hubris to try 沒有用的 別這麼做 別太自以為是了 
He's ruthless, you knew this, I told you, didn't I? 他狂暴無理 你也知情 我不是早告訴過你了
He's abusive, elusive, the truth is he lies 他生性嗜虐 難以捉摸 唯一說實話的就是他說謊
I know you don't want to let go 我知道他對你來說是如此難以放下

[Pre-Chorus]
And just like before, I can see that you're sure 就如同以往一樣 看見你如此篤定
You can change him, but I know you won't 說自己能夠改變他 但我知道你做不到

[Chorus]
The devil doesn't bargain 惡魔是無法與之商議談判的
He'll only break your heart again 他只會再次粉碎你那顆心
It isn't worth it, darling 這一切都不值得
He's never gonna change 他一輩子也不會改變
He'll never be Prince Charming 永遠不會是你的白馬王子
He'll only do you harm again 只會再次傷害你一次又一次
I don't mean to meddle 沒有打算居中調解
But the devil doesn't settle 但惡魔並不會善罷干休
No, the devil doesn't bargain 和惡魔討價還價只能說沒門

[Post-Chorus] 
Mm-mm-mm-mm
The devil doesn't bargain 對惡魔是無法談條件的
Mm-mm-mm-mm

[Verse 2]
I'm not one to lecture, talk down to a friend 並不是來這邊說教 只是要向一位朋友談談
I don't mean to pressure, mean to condescend 無意對你施壓 只是希望你能屈就下
But I just want what's best for you in the end 所有這一切都只是希望你能過得快樂
I know you don't want to let go 我知道他對你來說是如此難以放下

[Pre-Chorus]
And just like before, I can see that you're sure 就如同以往一樣 看見你如此篤定
You can change him, but I know you won't 說自己能夠改變他 但我知道你做不到

[Chorus]
The devil doesn't bargain 惡魔是無法與之商議談判的
He'll only break your heart again 他只會再次粉碎你那顆心
It isn't worth it, darling 這一切都不值得
He's never gonna change 他一輩子也不會改變
He'll never be Prince Charming 永遠不會是你的白馬王子
He'll only do you harm again 只會再次傷害你一次又一次
I don't mean to meddle 沒有打算居中調解
But the devil doesn't settle 但惡魔並不會善罷干休
No, the devil doesn't bargain 和惡魔討價還價只能說沒門

[Post-Chorus] 
Mm-mm-mm-mm
The devil doesn't bargain 對惡魔是無法談條件的
Mm-mm-mm-mm

[Bridge]
And I know you think he'll change this time 我知道你認為這次他一定會改邪歸正
But I think that you will find 然而我認為你最終依舊會失望收場

[Chorus]
The devil doesn't bargain 惡魔是無法與之商議談判的
He'll only break your heart again 他只會再次粉碎你那顆心
It isn't worth it, darling 這一切都不值得
He's never gonna change 他一輩子也不會改變
He'll never be Prince Charming 永遠不會是你的白馬王子
He'll only do you harm again 只會再次傷害你一次又一次
I don't mean to meddle 沒有打算居中調解
But the devil doesn't settle 但惡魔並不會善罷干休
No, the devil doesn't bargain 和惡魔討價還價只能說沒門

[Post-Chorus] 
Mm-mm-mm-mm
The devil doesn't bargain 對惡魔是無法談條件的
Mm-mm-mm-mm
The devil doesn't bargain 對惡魔是無法談條件的
Mm-mm-mm-mm
The devil doesn't bargain 對惡魔是無法談條件的
Mm-mm-mm-mm
