一想到你呀 就让我快乐
Thinking of you, oh, brings me joy,
就好比蜻蜓呀看见绿草的油亮
Like a dragonfly spotting the glossy green grass,
像妈妈 轻柔的歌唱
Like a mother's gentle song,
一想到你呀 情不自禁的笑
Thinking of you, oh, I can't help but smile,
天上的云 地上的野花
The clouds above and the wildflowers below,
古老的活力都等著一触而爆发
Ancient vitality waiting to burst forth with a touch,
像爸爸 终年的奔忙
Like a father, busily working all year round,
一想到你呀 人间似天堂
Thinking of you, oh, the world feels like paradise,
轻一点 却多一些
Lighten up a bit, yet add more,
张开你的心与眼
Open your heart and eyes.
多一点 但轻一些
A little more, but lighter still
收起你的苦与泪
Put away your pain and tears
一想到你呀 就让我快乐
Just thinking of you, oh, brings me joy
就好比猕猴呀穿梭树林的轻松
Like a monkey dancing freely through the trees
像阿妈 牵起了童年
Like grandma, holding on to childhood
牵起了我呀和一整个世界
Holding me and the whole wide world
啦 啦 啦 啦 啦 啦
La la la la la la
许下你的心愿
Make your wish come true
丢一枚钱币等月儿圆
Toss a coin and wait for the moon to be whole
啦 啦 啦 啦 啦 啦
La la la la la la
许下你的心愿
Make your wish come true
丢一枚钱币等月儿圆
Toss a coin and wait for the moon to be full
一想到你呀 就让我快乐
Just thinking of you, oh, brings me joy
就好比极圈悠闲自在的 polar bear
Like a polar bear, lounging in the Arctic's embrace
像阿公 述说的故事
Like the stories grandpa would tell
那正是我呀 要接下的世界
That’s exactly me, ready to take on the world
重重的 而细细的
Heavy yet delicate
撒下你的爱与怜
Spread your love and compassion
柔柔的 而熊熊的
Soft yet fierce
燃烧你的善与美
Ignite your goodness and beauty
一想到你呀 就让我快乐
Just the thought of you, oh, brings me joy.
就好比猕猴呀穿梭树林的轻松
Like a monkey swiftly weaving through the trees.
像阿妈 牵起了童年
Like a mother, holding on to childhood days.
牵起了我呀和一整个世界
Connecting me and the whole wide world.
