眼睛在忙著看风景
Eyes busy admiring the scenery
嘴巴想念著甜品
Lips yearning for sweets
这双耳朵只想保持安静
These ears just want to stay quiet
头发在缠著它自己
Hair tangled up with itself
呼吸在挑剔空气
Breath critiquing the air
这个脑袋知道何时微醺
This mind knows when to feel tipsy
要什么道理
What need is there for reason?
身体发肤 天生爱自己
Skin and body love themselves by nature
有什么逻辑
What logic is there?
想爱别人何止要运气
To love others, it's more than just luck
先善待这身体
First, be kind to this body.
灵魂再相遇
Then our souls can meet again.
先善待这颗心
Next, be gentle with this heart.
再懂别的心
Only then can we understand other hearts.
眼睛会是谁的风景
Whose scenery will these eyes behold?
嘴巴被谁当甜品
Who treats these lips like a dessert?
这双耳朵为谁不再安静
For whom do these ears no longer stay silent?
头发为谁放开自己
For whom will this hair let itself down?
呼吸能被谁呼吸
Who will share this breath with me?
这个脑袋知道让谁微醺
This mind knows how to make someone tipsy.
要什么道理
What reason do we need?
身体发肤 自会有灵犀
Our flesh and skin will naturally connect.
有什么逻辑
What logic is there?
想爱的人 也在爱自己
The ones we wish to love are also loving themselves.
先善待这身体
First, treat this body well,
灵魂才相遇
Then the souls can meet.
先善待这颗心
First, cherish this heart,
就懂谁的心
Then you'll understand another's heart.
就懂谁的心
Then you'll understand another's heart.
就懂谁的心
Then you'll understand another's heart.
就懂谁的心
Then you understand whose heart it is
