  1. 从前从前猫头鹰 站在屋顶

    Once upon a time, there was an owl perched on a rooftop

  2. 屋顶后面一遍森林 森林安静

    Behind the rooftop lies a forest, so quiet and serene

  3. 安静钢琴大厅 阁楼 仔细听

    In the still hall, a piano plays softly, listen closely

  4. 仔细听 叮叮 什么声音

    Listen closely, ding ding ding, what sound is that?

  5. 乖乖 不要 听我

    Sleep tight, don’t be afraid, let me tell you

  6. 乖乖 醒来 苹果

    Sleep tight, when you wake, you’ll eat an apple

  7. 睡觉 时候 传说

    When you’re awake, there are legends untold

  8. 有人 你的 指头

    Someone might nibble on your little pinky toe

  9. 故事 继续

    This story turns the page, turning once more

  10. 继续 不想 想睡

    You want to stay awake, but I long for sleep

  11. 然后准备 打开衣柜

    Then I'm ready to open the wardrobe

  12. 看看 看看

    To see who’s hiding there, to see who’s hiding there

  13. 城堡卡片 发光 立体呈现

    Castle cards on paper, glowing in 3D presentation

  14. 故事 动听 令人

    Fantastical bedtime stories, enchanting and enviable

  15. 场景瞬间变化 接著施展魔法

    The scene instantly changes, I cast my magic again

  16. 活过来说话 准备开始

    Come alive and speak, let's get started

  17. 天黑 一起倒数

    Wait for the dark, countdown together then turn off the lights

  18. 二一 梦境 缤纷

    Three, two, one, into the colorful dreamland

  19. 我们 正常

    We are not normal people

  20. 游戏怎么 剧本 Oh

    How can the game follow the script, oh

  21. 天黑 一起来

    When the sky darkens, let's close the lights together

  22. 二一 自由 灵魂

    Three, two, one—step into the soul of freedom

  23. Oh oh oh oh oh~ Come on~

    Oh oh oh oh oh~ Come on~

  24. 童年 敲门

    Let's return to childhood, knock knock at the door

  25. 突然开始摆动

    Tick-tock, suddenly starting to sway

  26. 古董油画 出现诡异笑容

    An antique clock and oil painting on the wall, bearing a strange smile

  27. 好的巫婆坏掉苹果 愿望

    A good witch and a rotten apple, to whom shall I confess my wish?

  28. 旋转 八音盒 竖起 耳朵

    The spinning music box, I perk up my ears to listen

  29. 不会

    This can't be just a dream

  30. Oh ~ 一下子瞬间跳跃

    Oh dream~ In an instant, it leaps forward

  31. 世界

    I flip through the next world

  32. 都是蝴蝶

    Full of butterflies

  33. (森林蝴蝶

    The forest is filled with butterflies

  34. 窗外

    Snowflakes dance outside the window

  35. 一觉醒来旁边躺著)

    Who lies beside me when I wake from my slumber?

  36. 故事 继续

    This story turns the page, to turn it once more.

  37. 继续 不想 想睡

    You keep going, not wanting to sleep, while I long for slumber.

  38. 然后准备 打开衣柜

    Go take a look, who are you hiding from? Go take a look, who are you hiding from?
