该怎么去形容你最贴切?
How can I best describe you?
拿什么跟你作比较才算特别?
What can I compare to you that feels unique?
对你的感觉强烈
My feelings for you are intense,
却又不太了解 只凭直觉
Yet I don’t quite understand, just going on instinct.
你像窝在被子里的舒服
You’re like the comfort of being wrapped in blankets,
却又像风琢磨不住
But like the wind, you can't be grasped.
像手腕上散发的香水味
Like the scent of perfume lingering on my wrist,
像爱不释手的红色高跟鞋
Like those red high heels I can’t let go of.

你像窝在被子里的舒服
You’re like the comfort of snuggling in a blanket
却又像风琢磨不住
But also like the wind that can't be grasped
像手腕上散发的香水味
Like the scent of perfume wafting from my wrist
像爱不释手的红色高跟鞋
Like those red high heels I can't put down
Oh, ah
Oh-ho, yeah
你像窝在被子里的舒服
You’re like the comfort of snuggling in a blanket
却又像风琢磨不住
But also like the wind that can't be grasped
像手腕上散发的香水味
Like the scent that lingers on my wrist,
像爱不释手的
Like a love I can't let go of.
我爱你有种左灯右行的冲突
My love for you is a clash of left and right turns,
疯狂却怕没有退路
Crazy yet fearing there's no way back.
你能否让我停止这种追逐?
Can you let me stop this chase?
就这么双最后唯一的红色高跟鞋
Just like those last, unique red high heels.
