海边篱笆 咿呀咿呀 风一直刮
By the seaside fence, eh-eh, the wind keeps blowing
我像枝桠 帮你过滤了风沙
I’m like a twig, filtering the sand for you
墙上的时差 滴答滴答 还在牵挂
The time difference on the wall, tick-tock, still lingers in my heart
我们都偏爱她的长发 Gary
We both adore her long hair, Gary
你坐火车 忔恰忔恰 返来阮这
You ride the train, yi cha yi cha, coming back to me
亲像燕仔 落雨躲屋簷怕寒
Like a little swallow, hiding from the rain under the eaves, afraid of the cold
写一张批纸 汐沙汐沙 写谁ㄟ名
Writing a note, xi sha xi sha, writing someone’s name
你讲伊ㄟ代志乎阮听
You talk about her stories, I listen
又想你一次一次
Missing you again and again
是马按怎加妳熟识
Why do I feel so familiar with you?
我真的不该不该
I really shouldn't, shouldn't
简单一句爱说不出来
Simply saying 'I love you' is so hard to find
啊经过山丘 嗨呦嗨呦 汗一直流
Ah, passing through the hills, hi-yo hi-yo, the sweat keeps flowing
行李不多 但思念一定带走
Not much luggage, but the longing I definitely take with me
咱行同条路 哒啰哒啰 马行去佗?
We walk the same path, da-lo da-lo, where's the horse headed?
随风漂浪去七逃
Drifting with the wind, escaping to the sea
等发芽 树有树枝 等写字 阮有地址
Waiting to sprout, trees have branches, waiting to write, I have an address
等乎满 茶有茶米 等消息 咱拢咧想伊
Waiting to be full, tea has its rice, waiting for news, we all miss him
春天 花有花蕊 等展翅 田有田婴
In spring, flowers have their blossoms, waiting to soar, fields have their young
等结局 流浪诗人的回忆
Waiting for the ending, memories of a wandering poet
又想妳一次 一次
I miss you again, once more
是马按怎加妳熟识
How come I know you so well?
我真的不该不该
I really shouldn't, shouldn't
简单一句爱说不出来
A simple 'I love you' can't be said
又想你一次 一次 (海边篱笆 咿呀咿呀 风一直刮)
I miss you again, once more (by the seaside fence, eh-eh, the wind keeps blowing)
(我像枝桠 帮你过滤风沙)
(I'm like a branch, filtering the sand for you)
是马案怎加妳熟识 (墙上的时差 滴答滴答)
How come I know you so well? (The time difference on the wall, tick-tock, tick-tock)
(还在牵挂 我爱她的长发)
(Still worrying, I love her long hair)
我真的不该 不该 (你坐火车 忔恰忔恰)
I really shouldn't, shouldn't (you take the train, thud-thud, thud-thud)
(返来阮这 亲像燕仔怕寒)
(Coming back here feels like a swallow afraid of the cold)
简单一句爱说不出来 (写一张批纸 汐沙汐沙)
A simple word of love is hard to say (writing on a piece of paper, ebb and flow)
(写谁ㄟ名 你讲乎阮听)
(Writing down a name, you tell me to listen)
远方回音 我们迎风边走边弹琴
From afar echoes, we walk and play the piano against the wind
咱ㄟ人生 因为伊开始认真
Our lives, starting to take things seriously because of her
她的眼睛 像是一幅翠绿的风景
Her eyes, like a lush green landscape
咱ㄟ感情 越唱放越深
Our feelings, the more we sing, the deeper they grow
