小学篱芭旁的蒲公英
The dandelions by the elementary school fence,
是记忆里有味道的风景
Are a landscape with a taste in my memory.
午睡操场传来蝉的声音
From the nap time playground comes the sound of cicadas,
多少年后也还是很好听
Even after years, it still sounds so beautiful.
将愿望折纸飞机寄成信
Folding wishes into paper planes and sending them as letters,
因为我们等不到那流星
Because we couldn't wait for that shooting star.
认真投决定命运的硬币
Seriously tossing the coin that decides our fate,
却不知道到底能去哪里
Yet we still don’t know where we can go.
一起长大的约定 那样清晰
The promise we made while growing up, so clear,
打过勾的我相信
I believe in the checked mark that is me.
说好要一起旅行 是妳如今
We promised to travel together, and now it's you.
唯一坚持的任性
The only stubbornness you cling to.
在走廊上罚站打手心
Standing in the hallway, punishing your palm.
我们却注意窗边的蜻蜓
Yet we notice the dragonfly by the window.
我去到哪里妳都跟很紧
Wherever I go, you follow so closely.
很多的梦在等待著进行
Many dreams await their turn to unfold.
一起长大的约定 那样清晰
The promise of growing up together, so clear.
打过勾的我相信
I believe in what we've marked with a check.
说好要一起旅行 是妳如今
We promised to travel together, and now it's you.
唯一坚持的任性
The only stubbornness you cling to.
一起长大的约定 那样真心
A promise we made while growing up, so heartfelt
与妳聊不完的曾经
Those endless talks we had about the past with you
而我已经分不清 妳是友情
Yet I can no longer tell if you are a friendship
还是错过的爱情
Or the love I missed out on
