Song: 心太軟 (Xīntài ruǎn) •Album: Heart Too Soft

心太软

你总是心太软　心太软　独自一个人流泪到天亮
你无怨无悔的爱着那个人　我知道你根本没那么坚强

你总是心太软　心太软　把所有问题都自己扛
相爱总是简单　相处太难　不是你的　就别再勉强

夜深了你还不想睡　你还在想着他吗
你这样痴情到底累不累　明知他不会回来安慰

只不过想好好爱一个人　可惜他无法给你满分
多余的牺牲他不懂心疼　你应该不会只想做个好人

喔　算了吧　就这样忘了吧　该放就放　再想也没有用
傻傻等待　他也不会回来　你总该为自己想想未来

Your heart is too weak

Your heart is always too soft/weak, your heart’s too soft/weak, crying by yourself until dawn
You loved that person without regrets, but I know you’re not even that strong.
Your heart is always too soft/weak, too soft/weak, carrying the burden of all the problems
Love is always simple, getting along is too difficult, it’s not your fault, don’t keep forcing yourself
You’re still not asleep late at night; are you still thinking of him?
Isn’t this infatuation tiring? knowing that he won’t come back and comfort you.
You just wanted to love one person well, however there’s no way he’ll give you full points.
His heart will not be moved by your pointless sacrifices, You most likely don’t only want to be a good person.
Oh Forget it. Just forget about it. You need to forget it, so forget about it. There’s no point in continuing to think about it.
Wait stupidly for him. He won’t come back. You should think about your future.

This is a really rough translation >_> I’m not the best at Chinese, so if anyone has any comments/corrections, please feel free to point them out!

Please consider:

不是你的: it was translated as ‘it’s not your fault…”; the phrase means ‘(what) is not yours’

該放就放: 放 means let go. Instead of ‘You need to forget it…”, how about “You need to let go…”

As for ‘軟’, I think the translation will read better if either ‘soft’ or ‘weak’ is used. It’s possible to include a footnote if you wish to tell the readers that there is another way to translate a word/phrase.

Other than those mentioned above, your translation is good.
