墙角迎风的雏菊 茉莉花开的香气 闭上眼回到过去
Daisies in the corner sway with the wind, scent of jasmine blooms unfolds, close my eyes to return to the past.
划分界线的桌椅 下课却靠在一起 我就是离不开妳
The desks and chairs that drew the lines, leaning together after class, I just can't let you go.
一路乘著溜滑梯 我们说好走到底 以为从此就分离
Sliding down the slide all the way, we promised to see it through, thought from then on we would part.
用黑板上的日期 倒数找妳
Counting down the days on the blackboard to find you.
慢慢清晰 原来思念妳 是加了糖的消息
Slowly it becomes clear, missing you is a sweetened message.
我用铅笔 画的很仔细 素描那年天气
With a pencil, I draw with care, sketching the weather of that year.
蝉鸣的夏季 我想遇见妳 哦哦哦 一起来
In the summer filled with cicadas, I want to meet you, oh oh oh, come along.
那童年的希望是一台时光机
That childhood hope is like a time machine.
我可以一路开心到底 都不换气
I could stay joyful all the way without needing to breathe.
戴竹蜻蜓 穿过那森林
Wearing a bamboo dragonfly, flying through that forest.
打开了任意门找到妳 一起旅行
I opened the door to anywhere and found you, traveling together.
那童年的希望是一台时光机
That hope from childhood is like a time machine.
妳我翻滚过的榻榻米 味道熟悉
The tatami where we rolled around carries a familiar scent.
所有回忆 在小叮当口袋里
All memories tucked away in a little pocket of nostalgia.
一起荡秋千的默契 在风中持续著甜蜜
The unspoken trust from swinging together lingers sweetly in the breeze.
有些话总来不及 一直都放在心底
Some words always come too late, kept deep in my heart.
想要将妳看仔细 但错身而过的妳 已经离去
I want to observe you closely, but the you who passed by has already gone.
慢慢清晰 原来思念妳 是加了糖的消息
Slowly becoming clear, it turns out missing you is a message sweetened like sugar.
我用铅笔 画的很仔细 素描那年天气
I sketched it precisely with a pencil, capturing that year's weather.
我坐直升机 带你一起飞 哦哦哦
I take you up in a helicopter, let’s soar together, oh oh oh.
那童年的希望是一台时光机
That childhood hope is a time machine.
我可以一路开心到底 都不换气
I can stay joyful all the way, without catching my breath.
戴竹蜻蜓 穿过那森林
Wearing a bamboo dragonfly, I fly through the forest.
打开了任意门找到妳 一起旅行
Opening any door, I find you, traveling together.
那童年的希望是一台时光机
That childhood hope is a time machine.
妳我翻滚过的榻榻米 味道熟悉
The tatami we rolled on together, the scent feels familiar.
所有回忆 在小叮当口袋里
All the memories tucked in Shizuka's pocket.
一起荡秋千的默契 在风中持续著甜蜜
The chemistry of swinging together continues sweetly in the wind.
那童年的希望是一台时光机
That childhood hope is a time machine.
我可以一路开心到底 都不换气
I can stay joyful all the way, without catching my breath.
戴竹蜻蜓 穿过那森林
With a bamboo dragonfly, I fly through the forest
打开了任意门找到妳 一起旅行
I opened the door to anywhere and found you, traveling together
那童年的希望是一台时光机
That childhood hope is a time machine
妳我翻滚过的榻榻米 味道熟悉
The tatami where we tumbled, its scent is familiar
所有回忆 在小叮当口袋里
All the memories tucked in a little pocket like Doraemon's
一起荡秋千的默契 在风中持续著甜蜜
The understanding from swinging together lingers sweetly in the breeze
哦 持续著甜蜜 哦 持续著甜蜜 哦 持续著甜蜜
Oh, lingering sweetly, oh, lingering sweetly, oh, lingering sweetly
