我总是轻描淡写告诉你我的愿望
I always brush off my wishes when I tell you about them,
也给你千言万语都说不尽的目光
And give you a gaze full of words that can't be fully expressed.
这世界总有人在忙忙碌碌寻宝藏
In this world, there are always people busy searching for treasures,
却误了浮世骄阳 也错过人间万象
Yet they miss the vivid sun and overlook life's myriad wonders.
古城里长桥上
In the ancient city, on the long bridge,
人如海车成行
People flow like the sea, with vehicles in line,
你笑得像光芒
Your smile shines like a radiant beam,
蓦然把我照亮
Suddenly lighting up my path.
风轻扬夏未央
The gentle wind rises as summer lingers,
林荫路单车响
Bicycles echo along the tree-lined road.
原来所谓爱情
So this is what they call love,
是这模样
It looks just like this.
就承认一笑倾城一见自难忘
Just admit that a single smile can conquer a city, unforgettable at first sight.
说什么情深似海我却不敢当
They say love runs deep as the sea, but I can’t dare to claim it.
最浪漫不过与你并肩看夕阳
The most romantic thing is watching the sunset by your side.
我心之所向
Where my heart longs to go,
想和你游四方赏晴雨的风光
I want to travel the world with you, enjoying the sunny and rainy sights.
想和你铺纸笔写余生的篇章
I want to lay out paper and pen to write the chapters of our lives.
笑与泪都分享管情节多跌宕
Sharing both laughter and tears, no matter how tumultuous the plot.
我们不散场
We won't call it a night.
你是我偶然听闻铭感于心的歌唱
You are the song I accidentally heard, etched in my heart
也是我惊鸿一瞥而后拥抱的芬芳
You are also the fragrance I embraced after a fleeting glance
这世界风华正茂可别辜负好时光
In this world full of brilliance, don't let good times slip away
六月风走街穿巷 六月花陌上盛放
June winds weave through streets, June flowers bloom along the way
古城里长桥上
In the ancient city, on the long bridge
人如海车成行
People like the sea, cars in a procession
你笑得像光芒
Your smile shines like a ray of light
蓦然把我照亮
Suddenly, you illuminate me
风轻扬夏未央
The breeze gently rises, summer is yet to end
林荫路单车响
The sound of bicycles echoes along the shaded path
原来所谓爱情
So this is what they call love
是这模样
It looks like this
就承认一笑倾城一见自难忘
Just admit, a smile can captivate, unforgettable at first glance
说什么情深似海我却不敢当
They say love runs deep as the sea, but I can't claim that
最浪漫不过与你并肩看夕阳
The most romantic moment is simply watching the sunset by your side
我心之所向
Where my heart desires to go
想和你游四方赏晴雨的风光
I want to travel the world with you, enjoying the beauty of sun and rain
想和你铺纸笔写余生的篇章
I want to write the chapters of our lives on paper with you
笑与泪都分享管情节多跌宕
Sharing both laughter and tears, no matter how tumultuous the plot
我们不散场
We will not part ways
