还没 让月亮每个圆缺看著都一样圆满
Not yet, let the moon see every phase and remain perfectly round.
还没 为南极造出永不融化的冰山
Not yet, to create an iceberg for Antarctica that never melts.
还没有为恐龙默哀
Not yet, to mourn for the dinosaurs.
还没帮马力欧再闯一关
Not yet, to help Mario clear another level.
天使的礼物还没拆
The angel's gift hasn't been unwrapped yet.
怎么能 从容地 擦亮烛光分享晚餐
How can we calmly polish the candlelight to share dinner?
怎么能 放心地 烫平谁平凡的衬衫
How can we confidently iron someone's ordinary shirt?
说爱简单 不如我先 把大事做完
Saying love is simple, but it's better for me to finish the big tasks first.
谈情 能有多难 难道等等 天下就大乱
How hard can it be to talk about love? Should we wait and see the world fall into chaos?
下一秒火星 说不定 会水漫金山
Next moment on Mars, who knows, may flood the golden hills.
哪个 好人类 会只是旁观
Which good human would merely stand aside?
还没 为我花草找到永不会凋谢的伴
Still haven't found a companion for my flowers that won't wilt.
还没 为宠物找到不会吃腻的饼干
Still haven't found a treat for my pet they'll never tire of.
还没学会拒绝加班
Haven't learned to turn down overtime yet.
还没有分清孤独和孤单
Still can't tell apart loneliness from solitude.
流言和谎言还没散
Rumors and lies haven't dispersed yet.
怎么能 从容地 讨论戒指上的图案
How can we calmly discuss the patterns on the ring?
怎么能 放心地 告诉下一代要乐观
How can we confidently tell the next generation to be optimistic?
说爱简单 不如我先 把大事做完
Saying love is simple, but first let me finish the big tasks.
谈情 能有多难 难道等等 天下就大乱
To talk about love, how hard can it be? Is the world soon to fall apart?
下一秒火星 说不定 会水漫金山
In the next moment, Mars might just flood the land.
哪个 好人类 会只是旁观
Which good soul would simply stand by?
若爱简单 不如我先 把大事做完
If love were simple, I'd rather finish the big tasks first.
谈情 能有多难 补好青天 我再试试看
To talk about love, how hard can it be? I'll mend the sky and give it another shot.
下一秒银河 说不定 又会有大战
In the next moment, the galaxy might just explode into war.
这次 会有谁 想一起去玩
This time, who would want to join the fun?
