第一口蛋糕的滋味
The taste of the first bite of cake
第一件玩具带来的安慰
The comfort from the first toy I had
太阳下山 太阳下山 冰淇淋流泪
The sun goes down, the sun goes down, ice cream tears my heart
第二口蛋糕的滋味
The taste of the second bite of cake
第二件玩具带来的安慰
The comfort from the second toy I had
大风吹 大风吹 爆米花好美
The wind blows, the wind blows, popcorn is oh so beautiful
从头到尾 忘记了谁 想起了谁
From start to finish, forgot who it was, recalled who it was
从头到尾 再数一回 再数一回
From start to finish, count once more, count once more
有没有荒废
Is there any neglect
第一次吻别人的嘴
The first time I kissed someone else's lips
第一次生病了要喝药水
The first time being sick, I need to take some medicine.
太阳下山 太阳下山 冰淇淋流泪
The sun sets, the sun sets, ice cream sheds tears.
第二次吻别人的嘴
The second time kissing someone else's lips.
第二次生病了需要喝药水
The second time being sick, I need to take some medicine.
大风吹 大风吹 爆米花好美
The strong wind blows, the strong wind blows, popcorn looks so beautiful.
从头到尾 忘记了谁 想起了谁
From start to finish, forgetting someone, remembering someone.
从头到尾 再数一回 再数一回
From start to finish, let's count once more, let's count once more.
有没有荒废
Is there any waste?
忽然天亮 忽然天黑 诸如此类
Suddenly bright, suddenly dark, things like this.
远走高飞 一二三岁 四五六岁 千秋万岁
Fly far and high, one, two, three years old, four, five, six years old, for ages and ages.
从头到尾 忘记了谁 想起了谁
From start to finish, I've forgotten who, remembered who,
从头到尾 再数一回 再数一回
From start to finish, count it once more, count it once more,
有没有荒废
Is there any wastage?
