  1. 为何又困恼像个风铃 再次踏上街头方向未明

    Why am I troubled like a wind chime, stepping out on the streets with no clear direction?

  2. 为何像世界雨洒不停 堆积满山心头总有事情

    Why does it rain endlessly like in this world, piling up with worries on my heart?

  3. △ 为何未看透我的表情 沟通仿佛失灵

    △ Why can't you see through my expression, communication seems to be malfunctioning.

  4. 望你今天快些应承 公开发明声明

    I hope you'll promise quickly today, publicly declaring your inventions.

  5. 知否对于感情 一些规定 不懂究竟△

    Do you know about love, are there any rules? Truly, I don't understand. △

  6. ▲ I, I, I was born in Beijing 不知命运是谁定 (Woo...)

    ▲ I, I, I was born in Beijing, not knowing who determines my fate (Woo...)

  7. I, I, I was born in Beijing 示爱不便说清

    I, I, I was born in Beijing, it's hard to express love clearly.

  8. I, I, I was born in Beijing 偏偏浪漫热情任性

    I, I, I was born in Beijing, yet I'm romantically passionate and willful.

  1. I, I, I was born in Beijing 没法一夜说清一生背景 ▲

    I, I, I was born in Beijing, it's impossible to explain a lifetime's background in just one night. ▲

  2. 为何在脑里像个幽灵 每晚令我只能想到黎明

    Why is there a ghost in my mind, making me think only of dawn every night?

  3. 为何像爱意没有收成 似有没有依然不觉共鸣

    Why does love feel unyielding, yet echo with no resonance?

  4. Repeat △▲

  5. 长路里 往日无尽散聚 能遇你 似是缘份注定

    On this long road, the past endlessly divides and unites, meeting you feels like fate is sealed.

  6. 其实我 盼望停下脚步 但谁未有决定

    In truth, I yearn to pause my steps, but who has made a decision?

  7. Repeat ▲▲
