绿树阴浓夏日长
The shade of green trees is deep, the summer stretches long.
楼台倒影入池塘
Reflections of the tower fall into the pond.
水晶帘动微风起
The crystal curtains sway as the gentle breeze rises.
满架蔷薇一院香
Roses filled with fragrance in the garden, oh-so-strong.
银烛秋光冷画屏
Silver candles flicker in the autumn light, painting the screen cold.
热泪嫌热 冷雨嫌冷
Hot tears dislike the heat, cold rain can’t stand the cold.
花草太普通 温室不够玩
Flowers and grass are too common, the greenhouse isn't enough to enjoy.
玩乐嫌闷 吃喝太零碎
Playing feels too dull, food and drink too scattered.
呼吸太简单 休息不算玩
Breathing feels too simple, resting doesn’t count as play.
星星太高 棒棒糖太淡
Stars are too high, lollipops too bland.
天真太肤浅 公园不够玩
Innocence is too shallow, the park isn't enough to play in.
欢呼太多 拍拍手太滥
Too many cheers, clapping hands feels so overdone.
祝福太正经 怎么可当玩
Blessings too serious, how can we take it as a game?
玩游戏 玩亲热 再玩是非
Playing games, playing intimacy, then stirring up strife.
玩诚信 玩包容 再玩猜忌
Playing honesty, playing tolerance, then breeding suspicion.
玩情绪 玩失眠 再玩自己
Playing emotions, playing insomnia, then losing myself.
玩投契 玩冲突 再玩疏离
Playing complicity, playing conflict, then drifting apart.
热泪嫌热 冷雨嫌冷
Hot tears dislike the heat, cold rain dislikes the cold.
花草太普通 温室不够玩
Flowers and grass are too ordinary, the greenhouse isn't enough to play in.
玩乐嫌闷 吃喝太零碎
Playing joy feels boring, eating and drinking is too fragmented.
呼吸太简单 休息不算玩
Breathing is too simple, resting's not quite fun,
星星太高 棒棒糖太淡
Stars are too high, lollipops are too bland.
天真太肤浅 公园不够玩
Innocence is too shallow, the park's not enough to play,
欢呼太多 拍拍手太滥
Cheering is too much, clapping feels overdone.
祝福太正经 怎么可当玩
Wishing is too serious, how can it be just for fun?
玩回顾 玩黑夜 再玩晨曦
Playback, play the night, then play the dawn,
玩忘记 玩坚强 再玩卑微
Play forgetting, play being strong, then play being meek,
玩时间 玩经历 再玩年纪
Play time, play experiences, then play your age,
玩传说 玩死别 再玩生离
Play legends, play goodbyes, then play parting,
绿树阴浓夏日长
Under the thick shade of trees, summer days stretch long.
楼台倒影入池塘
The reflection of the balcony dances in the pond
水晶帘动微风起
The crystal curtains sway as a gentle breeze stirs
满架蔷薇一院香
A garden full of roses fills the air with fragrance
银烛秋光冷画屏
Silver candles cast a cold autumn glow on the painted screen
轻罗小扇扑流萤
With a delicate fan, I chase after the glowing fireflies
