从前从前有只猫头鹰 牠站在屋顶
Once upon a time, there was an owl perched on a rooftop
屋顶后面一遍森林 森林很安静
Behind the rooftop lies a forest, so quiet and serene
安静的钢琴在大厅 阁楼里 仔细听
In the still hall, a piano plays softly, listen closely
仔细听 叮叮叮 什么声音
Listen closely, ding ding ding, what sound is that?
乖乖睡 不要怕 听我说
Sleep tight, don’t be afraid, let me tell you
乖乖睡 醒来就 吃苹果
Sleep tight, when you wake, you’ll eat an apple
不睡觉 的时候 有传说
When you’re awake, there are legends untold
会有人 咬你的 小指头
Someone might nibble on your little pinky toe
这故事 继续翻页 再翻页
This story turns the page, turning once more
你继续 不想睡 我却想睡
You want to stay awake, but I long for sleep
然后我准备 去打开衣柜
Then I'm ready to open the wardrobe
去看看 躲著谁 去看看 躲著谁
To see who’s hiding there, to see who’s hiding there
纸上的 城堡卡片 发光的 立体呈现
Castle cards on paper, glowing in 3D presentation
奇幻的 床边故事 动听的 令人称羡
Fantastical bedtime stories, enchanting and enviable
场景瞬间变化 我接著又施展魔法
The scene instantly changes, I cast my magic again
活过来说话 准备开始吧
Come alive and speak, let's get started
等天黑 一起倒数后关上灯
Wait for the dark, countdown together then turn off the lights
三二一 入梦境 的缤纷
Three, two, one, into the colorful dreamland
我们并 非正常人
We are not normal people
游戏怎么会 照剧本 Oh
How can the game follow the script, oh
天黑 一起来关上灯
When the sky darkens, let's close the lights together
三二一 进自由 的灵魂
Three, two, one—step into the soul of freedom
Oh oh oh oh oh~ Come on~
再回童年 敲敲门
Let's return to childhood, knock knock at the door
滴哒滴哒突然开始摆动
Tick-tock, suddenly starting to sway
墙上老挂钟古董油画 出现诡异的笑容
An antique clock and oil painting on the wall, bearing a strange smile
好的巫婆坏掉的苹果 愿望要跟谁说
A good witch and a rotten apple, to whom shall I confess my wish?
旋转的 八音盒 我竖起 耳朵听
The spinning music box, I perk up my ears to listen
这不会 是一场 梦
This can't be just a dream
Oh 梦~ 一下子瞬间跳跃
Oh dream~ In an instant, it leaps forward
我翻阅下个世界
I flip through the next world
满满都是蝴蝶
Full of butterflies
(森林满满蝴蝶
The forest is filled with butterflies
窗外纷飞著雪
Snowflakes dance outside the window
一觉醒来旁边躺著是谁)
Who lies beside me when I wake from my slumber?
这故事 继续翻页 再翻页
This story turns the page, to turn it once more.
你继续 不想睡 我却想睡
You keep going, not wanting to sleep, while I long for slumber.
然后我准备 去打开衣柜
Then I’m ready to open the wardrobe.
去看看 躲著谁 去看看 躲著谁
Go take a look, who are you hiding from? Go take a look, who are you hiding from?
纸上的 城堡卡片 发光的 立体呈现
The castle cards on paper, glowing in a three-dimensional display
奇幻的 床边故事 动听的 令人称羡
A fantastical bedside story, enchanting and enviable.
场景瞬间变化 我接著又施展魔法
The scene changes in an instant, I cast my spell once more.
活过来说话 准备开始吧
Come to life and speak, let's get started.
等天黑 一起倒数后关上灯
Wait for the night, let's count down and turn off the lights.
三二一 入梦境 的缤纷
Three, two, one, into the colorful dreamland.
我们并 非正常人
We are not normal people.
游戏怎么会 照剧本 Oh
How could the game follow the script, oh.
天黑 一起来关上灯
When night falls, let's turn off the lights together.
三二一 进自由 的灵魂
Three, two, one, enter the soul of freedom.
Oh oh oh oh oh~ Come on~
再回童年 敲敲门
Back to childhood, knock knock the door
乖乖睡啊 不要害怕
Sleep tight now, don’t be afraid
乖乖睡醒来就吃苹果啊
When you wake up all rested, eat an apple, eh
不睡觉啊 有传说啊
If you don’t sleep, there’s a legend, oh
会有人咬你的小指头啊
Someone will nibble on your little pinky, yeh
等天黑 一起倒数后关上灯
Wait for the dark, let’s count down then turn off the lights
三二一 入梦境 的缤纷
Three, two, one, into the dreamy colors
我们并 非正常人
We are not your average folk
游戏怎么会 照剧本 Oh
How can the game follow the script, oh
天黑 一起来关上灯
When it’s dark, let’s turn off the lights together
三二一 进自由 的灵魂
Three two one, into the soul of freedom
Oh oh oh oh oh~ Come on~
再回童年 敲敲门
Back to childhood, knock knock on the door
再回童年 敲敲门
Back to childhood, knock knock on the door
再回童年 敲敲门
Back to childhood, knock knock on the door
