  1. 松鼠陪著核桃 在庭院捉迷藏

    Squirrels play hide and seek with walnuts in the courtyard,

  2. 葡萄躲进橡木桶 酿出时光

    Grapes hide in an oak barrel, brewing the passage of time.

  3. 夏日在玉米齿缝中游荡

    Summer drifts among the corn's golden teeth,

  4. 我为妳准备的四季 正在生长

    The four seasons I prepared for you are now growing.

  5. 炼金师从故事炼出土壤

    The alchemist extracts soil from stories,

  6. 我阖上书也闻到了花香

    As I close the book, I catch a whiff of flowers.

  7. 草地上的妳比果实芬芳

    You, lying on the grass, are more fragrant than fruit,

  8. 妳就像天使手里的糖

    You are like candy in the hands of an angel.

  1. 小男孩害羞没想起 自己是个雕像

    The little boy, shy and unaware, sees himself as a statue.

  2. 沉浸在芦苇跟风合奏用美妙歌声赞扬

    Immersed in the reeds, with the wind, we sing in perfect harmony.

  3. 世界因为妳而露出

    The world reveals itself because of you

  4. 阳光灿烂的 形状

    In a dazzling shape of sunlight

  5. 谢谢妳不然纯真是什么我早已经遗忘

    Thank you, otherwise what is innocence I would have long forgotten

  6. 什么爱 不说 就已经存在

    What love, unspoken, already exists

  7. 什么爱 望著 就全都明白

    What love, just a glance, makes everything clear

  8. 妳笑 一点一点一滴漾开

    Your smile, rippling slowly, bit by bit

  9. 一字一句 形容不来

    Each word, each line, can't be described

  10. 是星空上的银海

    It's the silver sea in the starry sky

  11. 月晕下 的双手

    Hands beneath the moonlight's halo

  12. 越来越来越来 越依靠

    Coming closer and closer, relying more and more

  13. 从来从来从来 不知道

    Always, always, always, never knew

  14. 原来原来原来 有妳很骄傲

    Turns out, turns out, turns out, having you is such a pride

  15. 小公主

    Little princess

  16. 过来过来过来 约定好

    Come here, come here, come here, as we promised

  17. 未来未来未来 的城堡

    The castle of the future, future, future

  18. 将来将来将来 我们一起造

    In the years to come, we’ll build it together

  19. 我会 当妳昼夜骑士 烈阳的树荫

    I will be your knight day and night, in the shade of the blazing sun

  20. 让花朶为妳吟游的魔术师

    Let the flowers be the bard that sings for you

  21. 每一道有妳风景

    Every view with you is a masterpiece

  22. 帮妳按下快门的秘密情人

    The secret lover pressing the shutter for you

  23. 什么爱 不说 就已经存在

    What love, unspoken, already exists.

  24. 什么爱 望著 就全都明白

    What love, gazing at it, everything becomes clear.

  25. 妳笑 一点一点一滴漾开

    Your smile, gradually spreading softly.

  26. 一字一句 形容不来

    Each word, each line, is hard to describe.

  27. 是星空上的银海

    It's like a silver sea in the starry sky.

  28. 我后来 会在 纯白的礼堂

    Later on, I'll stand in the pure white hall,

  29. 牵好久 的手 交给另个他

    Holding the hand that's been in mine for so long, given to another.

  30. 眼泪 一点一点一滴流下

    Tears, slowly, drop by drop, flow down.

  31. 感动 也会跟著留下

    Emotions too, will follow and remain.

  32. 远远看著你们幸福

    Watching your happiness from afar.

  33. 像前世我们有过的模样

    Like the way we were in our past lives
