缠绵是首诗 很容易迷失 北风的朦胧不减李商隐的精致
A love entwined is a poem, easy to lose oneself, the northern winds' haze does not diminish Li Shangyin's finesse.
感情是首诗 要懂爱才能知 我希望像李宗盛一针挑中你心事
Emotions are a poem, to understand love, one must know; I hope like Li Zongsheng to hit the mark of your heart's secrets.
别像宋代李清照凄凄惨惨戚戚
Don’t be like Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty, sorrowful and mournful.
我愿为你背诵 每一首情诗 我愿意做你的老师
I would recite for you every love poem, I'm willing to be your teacher.
示范著执子之手如何解释 不愿为深奥的感情 变白痴
Demonstrating how to hold hands in explanation, not wishing to turn foolish over profound feelings.
我俩的情事 是一首情诗 要像徐志摩那么痴
Our love story is a love poem, wanting to be as infatuated as Xu Zhimo.
要像对押韵的坚持 要成为文学的历史 让我们要多美丽有多美丽
Like the insistence on rhyme, to become a part of literary history, let us be as beautiful as we can.
很少人看诗 很少人得知 拥抱时怎创作接近诗意的手势
Very few people read poetry, very few know how to create gestures close to poetic embrace.
很少人懂诗 很少人情痴 莎士比亚的十四行诗快没人认识
Very few understand poetry, very few are love-struck, Shakespeare's sonnets are hardly recognized anymore.
可我对你吟颂亦不如烟的往事
But my verses for you pale beside memories like smoke.
我愿为你背诵 每一首情诗 我愿意做你的老师
I am willing to recite for you every love poem, I’m ready to be your teacher.
示范著执子之手如何解释 不愿为深奥的感情 变白痴
Demonstrating how to hold hands and explain, unwilling to be a fool for profound feelings.
我俩的情事 是一首情诗 要像徐志摩那么痴
Our affair is a love poem, it should be as infatuated as Xu Zhimo.
要像对押韵的坚持 要成为文学的历史 要这段情感动他人名噪一时
Like a steadfast commitment to rhyme, destined to become a literary history, making this emotion move others and echo through time.
让这一首解构拥抱的诗 感染这误解爱情的城市
Let this poem that deconstructs embraces infect this city that misunderstands love.
多少艰涩的美感快消失
How many obscure beauties are quickly fading away?
可我们是少数的奢侈
Yet we are the rare luxury.
我送你情诗就靠著 灵犀一指
I’ll send you love poems, relying on a single spark of connection.
走遍世界也能步步成诗 给写成故事
Roaming the world, we too can turn every step into a poem, crafting it into a story.
我愿为你背诵 每一首情诗 我愿意做你的老师
I am willing to recite for you every love poem, I’m ready to be your teacher.
示范著执子之手如何解释 不愿为深奥的感情 变白痴
Demonstrating how to hold hands and explain, unwilling to become a fool for profound feelings,
我俩的情事 是一首情诗 要像徐志摩那么痴
Our love story is a love poem, longing to be as infatuated as Xu Zhimo,
要像对押韵的坚持 要成为文学的历史
Like a steadfast commitment to rhyme, aiming to become a part of literary history,
闺房的文字只为多情传世
The words in the bedroom are meant to pass on a love so deep.
