七里香 lyrics with English translation

窗外的麻雀在电线杆上多嘴

The sparrows outside the window chatter on the power lines,

你说这一句很有夏天的感觉

You say this line has a summer vibe,

手中的铅笔在纸上来来回回

The pencil in my hand moves back and forth on the paper,

我用几行字形容你是我的谁

With just a few lines, I describe who you are to me,

秋刀鱼的滋味猫跟你都想了解

The taste of mackerel, both the cat and you want to explore,

初恋的香味就这样被我们寻回

The scent of first love, we've just rediscovered it this way,

那温暖的阳光像刚摘的鲜艳草莓

That warm sunlight is like freshly picked, bright strawberries,

你说你舍不得吃掉这一种感觉

You say you can't bear to consume this kind of feeling,

雨下整夜我的爱溢出就像雨水

The rain falls all night, my love spills out like the raindrops,

院子落叶跟我的思念厚厚一叠

The fallen leaves in the yard pile up thick with my yearning.

几句是非也无法将我的热情冷却

A few words of doubt can't cool my burning passion,

你出现在我诗的每一页

You appear on every page of my poems.

雨下整夜我的爱溢出就像雨水

Through the night the rain falls, my love overflows like the water,

窗台蝴蝶像诗里纷飞的美丽章节

Butterflies on the windowsill, like beautiful chapters flying in my poems.

我接着写把永远爱你写进诗的结尾

I continue to write, sealing my love for you in the poem's ending.

你是我唯一想要的了解

You are the only understanding I long for.

雨下整夜我的爱溢出就像雨水

Through the night the rain falls, my love overflows like the water,

院子落叶跟我的思念厚厚一叠

Leaves falling in the yard, stacking high like my yearning.

几句是非也无法将我的热情冷却

A few words of doubt can't cool my burning passion,

你出现在我诗的每一页

You appear on every page of my poems.

那饱满的稻穗幸福了这个季节

That plump grain fills this season with joy.

而你的脸颊像田里熟透的蕃茄

And your cheeks are like ripe tomatoes in the field.

你突然对我说七里香的名字很美

You suddenly tell me that the name of the osmanthus is lovely.

我此刻却只想亲吻你倔强的嘴

But at this moment, all I want is to kiss your stubborn lips.

雨下整夜我的爱溢出就像雨水

The rain falls all night; my love spills out like rainwater.

院子落叶跟我的思念厚厚一叠

Leaves fall in the yard, stacking thick like my thoughts of you.

几句是非也无法将我的热情冷却

A few whispers can’t douse my burning passion.

你出现在我诗的每一页

You appear on every page of my poem.

整夜 我的爱溢出就像雨水

All night, my love spills out like rainwater.

窗台蝴蝶像诗里纷飞的美丽章节

Butterflies on the windowsill, like beautiful chapters in a poem.

我接着写把永远爱你写进诗的结尾

I continue to write, sealing my forever love for you at the poem's end.

你是我唯一想要的了解

You are the only understanding that I desire.
