  1. 教室里那台风琴叮咚叮咚叮咛

    In the classroom, that xylophone goes ding-dong, ding-dong, ringing clear,

  2. 像你告白的声音 动作一直很轻

    Like the sound of your confession, your movements always so light,

  3. 微笑看你送完信 转身离开的背影

    I smile as I watch you deliver the message, turning away with a graceful back,

  4. 喜欢你字迹清秀的关心

    I adore your elegant handwriting, filled with care,

  5. 那温热的牛奶瓶在我手中握紧

    That warm milk bottle tightly gripped in my hands,

  6. 有你在的地方 我总感觉很窝心

    Wherever you are, I always feel so cozy inside,

  7. 日子像旋转木马 在脑海里转不停

    Days spin like a carousel, endlessly revolving in my mind,

  8. 出现那些你对我好的场景

    Recalling those moments when you were kind to me,

  1. 你说过牵了手就算约定

    You once said that holding hands is a promise,

  2. 但亲爱的那并不是爱情

    But my dear, that wasn’t love.

  3. 就像来不及许愿的流星

    Like a shooting star that never made its wish,

  4. 再怎么美丽也只能是曾经

    No matter how beautiful, it's only a memory.

  5. 太美的承诺因为太年轻

    Promises too lovely were made too young,

  6. 但亲爱的那并不是爱情

    But dear, that wasn't love at all.

  7. 就像是精灵住错了森林

    As if a fairy strayed into the wrong woods,

  8. 那爱情错的很透明

    That love felt transparent and misunderstood.

  9. 那温热的牛奶瓶在我手中握紧

    The warm milk bottle tightly held in my hand,

  10. 有你在的地方 我总感觉很窝心

    Wherever you are, I feel so at home.

  11. 日子像旋转木马 在脑海里转不停

    Days spin like a carousel in my mind,

  12. 出现那些你对我好的场景

    Bringing back those moments when you were kind.

  13. 你说过牵了手就算约定

    You said that holding hands was a promise,

  14. 但亲爱的那并不是爱情

    But darling, that isn't love.

  15. 就像来不及许愿的流星

    Like a shooting star that can't make a wish,

  16. 再怎么美丽也只能是曾经

    No matter how beautiful, it can only be a memory.

  17. 太美的承诺因为太年轻

    Such beautiful promises, because we were too young.

  18. 但亲爱的那并不是爱情

    But darling, that isn't love.

  19. 就像是精灵住错了森林

    Like a fairy lost in the wrong forest,

  20. 那爱情错的很透明

    That love was all too clear.

  21. 太美的承诺因为太年轻

    Such beautiful promises, because we were too young.

  22. 但亲爱的那并不是爱情

    But darling, that isn't love.

  23. 就像是精灵住错了森林

    Like a sprite lost in the wrong forest

  24. 那爱情错的很透明

    That love is hauntingly clear
