如何看你也是树荫 如何叫你会有共震
How to see you as the shade of a tree, how to call you to resonate with me?
灵魂化作法语日语 同样也是灵魂
Souls become whispers in French and Japanese, still, they are souls alike.
如何叫你最贴切合衬 如何叫你你会更兴奋
How to call you in the most fitting way, how to call you to elate you more?
连名带姓会更接近你 还是更陌生
Even with your full name, it feels closer to you, or maybe still distant.
要是完全忘了姓氏 也没有本身的名字
If completely forgotten your surname, then no name to hold on to.
总记得神情和语气 无字暗语 你也心中有知
Always remember your expressions and tones, silent codes, you also understand deep down.
我叫你玉蝴蝶 你说这声音可像你
I call you 'Jade Butterfly,' you say this voice resembles you.
恋生花也是你 风之纱也是你
Love blooms are you, the fabric of wind is also you.
怎称呼也在这个世界寻获你
No matter how to address you, I find you in this world.
你哪里 是蝴蝶 然而飞不飞一样美
Where are you? Like a butterfly, but whether it flies or not, it’s all beautiful.
夫斯基也像你 早优生更像你
Fuski is like you, early generation even more like you.
这称呼配合你才回肠和荡气 改得多么入戏
This title only resonates deeply with you, how it captures the heart so truly.
如何拍摄你也入胜 如何叫你会更动听
No matter how to shoot, you bring the thrill; how to call you makes it more melodious.
长城变作世界名胜 同样也是长城
The Great Wall transforms into a world marvel, yet it's still the Great Wall.
如何叫你会引致幻听 如何叫你你最有反应
How to call you would evoke illusions, how to call you brings the greatest reaction.
连名带姓会怪我任性 还是太伪正经
Having both name and surname, you might blame me for being willful, or too hypocritically serious.
要是完全忘了姓氏 也没有本身的名字
If I completely forget the surname, there's no name to call my own.
总记得神情和语气 无字暗语 你也心中有知
Always remember the look and the tone, unspoken cues, you know it deep down too.
我叫你玉蝴蝶 你说这声音可像你
I call you Jade Butterfly, you say this voice sounds like you.
恋生花也是你 风之纱也是你
Love in bloom is still you, the silk of the wind is also you.
怎称呼也在这个世界寻获你
What to call you, I find you in this world,
你哪里 是蝴蝶 然而飞不飞一样美
Where are you, a butterfly, yet your beauty stays the same whether you fly or not.
夫斯基也像你 早优生更像你
Even Dostoevsky resembles you, he was early, yet more like you.
这称呼配合你才回肠和荡气 改得多么入戏
This title, matched with you, resonates and stirs, oh how fittingly it fits.
你要养分和露水 在盘内小心灌溉
You need nutrients and dew, be careful to water within the pot.
其实你是盘盆栽不要紧
Actually, it's okay that you are a potted plant.
是人是物仍然维护你
Whether person or object, I will still take care of you.
代号亦是任我改
The code name is for me to change at will.
我叫你玉蝴蝶 你说这声音可像你
I call you Jade Butterfly, you say this sound aligns with you.
恋生花也是你 风之纱也是你
Love blooms are also you, the fabric of the wind is also you.
怎称呼也在这个世界寻获你
No matter the name, in this world I find you
你哪里 是蝴蝶 然而飞不飞一样美
Wherever you are, like a butterfly, yet your beauty stays the same
夫斯基也像你 早优生更像你
Even Fuscus resembled you, early breeding more so like you
这称呼配合你才回肠和荡气 改得多么入戏
This name suits you only, resonating deep and stirring the soul, how perfectly it fits the scene
