棋子, a song by 王菲 (Faye Wong).

王菲 《棋子》
棋子 (A Game Piece)
Translation: 李杀 (Xah Lee)

想走出你控制的領域
卻走進你安排的戰局
我沒有堅強的防備
也沒有後路可以退

想逃離你佈下的陷阱
卻陷入了另一個困境
我沒有決定輸贏的勇氣
也沒有逃脫的幸運

我像是一顆棋
進退任由你決定
我不是你眼中唯一將領
卻是不起眼的小兵

我像是一顆棋子
來去全不由自己
舉手無回你從不曾猶豫
我卻受控在你手裡
棋子 (A Game Piece)
Translation: 李杀 (Xah Lee)

i wanted to walk out of your control
but went instead into your game
i don't have a strong defense
nor a route to back out

i wanted to run from your traps
but fell into another strait
i have not the courage to chose the outcome
nor the fortune to escape

i'm like a game piece
my moves are in your hands
i'm not the only queen in your eyes
but a mere pawn

i'm like a game piece
having no choice of my own
confident and you never falter
i'm but yours to control
