远处蔚蓝天空下
Under the distant azure sky
涌动着金色的麦浪
Golden waves of wheat are rolling
就在那里曾是你和我
It was right there, you and me
爱过的地方
The place where love once bloomed
当微风带着收获的味道
When the breeze carries the scent of harvest
吹向我脸庞
Blowing softly against my face
想起你轻柔的话语
I remember your gentle words
曾打湿我眼眶
That once moistened my eyes
嗯… 呐…
Mmm... Ah...
我们曾在田野里歌唱
We once sang in the fields
在冬季盼望
In winter, I long for hope
却没能等到阳光下
Yet I couldn't wait for the sunshine
这秋天的景象
This autumn scenery
就让失散的誓言飞舞吧
Let the lost promises dance in the air
随西风飘荡
Drifting with the west wind
就像你柔软的长发
Just like your soft, long hair
曾芬芳我梦乡
Once fragrant in my dreams
嗯… 呐…
Mm... uh...
远处蔚蓝天空下
Beneath the distant azure sky
涌动着金色的麦浪
Golden waves of wheat surge forth
就在那里曾是你和我
There was once a place for you and me,
爱过的地方
Where love used to bloom.
当微风带着收获的味道
When the gentle breeze carries the scent of harvest,
吹向我脸庞
And whispers against my face.
想起你轻柔的话语
I recall your tender words,
曾打湿我眼眶
That once brought tears to my eyes.
嗯… 呐…
Hmm... Well...
我们曾在田野里歌唱
We once sang in the fields,
在冬季盼望
Longing for winter's end,
却没能等到阳光下
Yet we couldn't wait for the sunlight.
这秋天的景象
This autumn scenery
就让失散的誓言飞舞吧
Let the lost vows dance away
随西风飘荡
Floating with the west wind
就像你柔软的长发
Just like your soft long hair
曾芬芳我梦乡
Once perfuming my dreams
嗯… 呐…
Hmm... Uh...
