Hello! You Fool I Love You My Cinderella
爱上寂寞咖啡 在午夜里看人
Falling for lonely coffee, watching people at midnight
爱到了快要满泻 美梦哪里去寻
Love has reached the brink of overflowing, where can we seek sweet dreams?
这世界已变灰暗 但有没有人来慰问
This world has turned gray and dark, but is there anyone to offer comfort?
谁叫我默默去等 昨日那女神
Who called me to quietly wait for that goddess of yesterday
谁说我寂寞已深 在渴望偶遇爱人
Who says my loneliness runs deep, yearning for a chance encounter with love?
我永远有过一吻 和那人对我说的话
I’ve forever held a kiss, and the words they spoke to me.
但是她 像个传闻 忘了吧！
But she, like a rumor, just forget it!
但是她 是梦里情人（是我情人）＊
But she is a lover from my dreams (she's my lover)＊
She said: Hello! You Fool I Love You
何时才能变真 Cinderella＃
When will I become real, Cinderella?
跳上了我那快车 往事已尽变了尘
Jumped on my fast train, past memories turned to dust.
但愿做浪漫醉者 继续上路远寻
I hope to be a romantic drunkard, continuing on this distant quest.
我发觉你已飘近 愿你能会与我亲近 Oh Ya
I noticed you're drawing near, I wish you could get close to me, oh yeah.
但是她 像个传闻 忘了吧！
But she, like a rumor, just forget it!
但是她 是梦里情人（是我情人）＊
But she is the lover in my dreams (she's my lover).
She said: Hello! You Fool I Love You
何时才能变真 Cinderella＃
When will I become real, Cinderella?
She said: Hello! You Fool I Love You
My Cinderella 说这句话
My Cinderella said this line.
谁叫你永远心醉 谁叫你永远心碎
Who made you forever entranced, who made you forever heartbroken?
梦幻愿能兑现 一刻永恒不变
Dreams wish to come true, a moment everlasting and unchanged.
She said: Hello! You Fool I Love You
何时才能变真 Cinderella＃
When will it finally be real, Cinderella?
Hello! You Fool I Love You My Cinderella My Cinderella
何时才能变真 Cinderella＃
When will it finally be real, Cinderella?
Hello! You Fool I Love You My Cinderella My Cinderella
