沒有星星的夜裡
When night is not starlit,
我把往事留給你
all the memories come flooding back about you only.
如果一切只是演戲
If everything were a mere play,
要你好好看戲
you might as well enjoy it carefully,
心碎只是我自己
with me acting out the sad story.

詞/許常德 英譯和朗讀/崔益俊
是誰導演這場戲
Who directed the scene?
在這孤單角色裡
On the monodrama screen,
對白總是自言自語
all the lines are nothing but soliloquy.
對手都是回憶
Memories always play opposite me.
看不出什麼結局
without any prospect of making headway.
自始至終全是你
I can't get over you someway
讓我投入太徹底
so that the passion has overwhelmed me.
故事如果註定悲劇
If the play is doomed to be a tragedy,
何苦給我美麗
Why bother offering me fond memory
演出相聚和別離
of sweet meet and sad leave?
沒有星星的夜裡
When night is not starlit
我用淚光吸引你
I shed tears just for your sympathy.
既然愛你不能言語
Since the love must be shrouded in secrecy,
只能微笑哭泣
I have to swallow a sob to act happy
讓我從此忘了你
and make out I seem to have let you slip from memory.
沒有星星的夜裡
When night is not starlit
我把往事留給你
all the memories come flooding back about you only.
如果一切只是演戲

Valen Hsu has created a signiture singing style ,exhibiting a softer mode that largely defines her. It is such a phenomenon that many of her love songs have been taken on.
許茹芸獨創了招牌式的「芸式唱腔」，其唱法更為深情款款。她的許多情歌都走紅，這的確是一個了不起的成就。
