  1. 接近

    This wind chime is so close to my heartbeat,

  2. 怀念旅行

    This letter still cherishes the travels,

  3. 路过爱情 年轻

    The love that passed by was all too young,

  4. 你是 想要再回去风景

    You are the scenery I long to return to,

  5. 别离 秘密

    This farewell bottled up as a secret,

  6. 雏菊 美得诗句

    These daisies are beautiful like verses,

  7. 我在风中 你的消息

    And I wait for your news in the wind,

  8. 月光雪地 枫红秋季 相遇

    Waiting for the moonlight to fall on the snow, waiting for maple leaves to dye the autumn, waiting for our meeting.

  9. 重温午后阳光

    I relive the sunlight of the afternoon,

  10. 吉他肩上

    With the guitar slung over my shoulder.

  11. 年前一样

    Just like many years ago

  12. 我们轻轻 任何地方

    We softly sing, going anywhere

  13. 看著你的 和弦

    I gaze at your face, gently strumming the chords

  14. 情人卡片 手写永远

    Valentine's cards, handwritten forever

  15. 记得 广场公园一起表演

    Still remember performing together in the square park

  16. 校园糖果 记忆

    The candy store by the campus, sweet in my memories

  17. 看著你的 和弦

    I gaze at your face, gently strumming the chords

  18. 初恋 手写从前

    First love is a handwritten past all over

  19. 记得 秋天再见

    Still remember, that autumn when we said goodbye

  20. 恋情 深埋在里面

    When the romance has drifted far, I bury you deep within my heart

  21. 需要竹林 溪流需要蜻蜓

    The breeze needs the bamboo grove, the stream needs the dragonfly.

  22. 离开 需要片片浮萍

    A farewell like homesickness needs drifting duckweed.

  23. 记得雨季 回忆安静

    I remember that rainy season, so peaceful in my memories.

  24. 哭过决定 是否进行

    The decision after the tears, can it still move forward?

  25. 等待 春暖花开

    I foolishly wait, foolishly for spring's warm bloom.

  26. 等于 爱情回来

    Waiting means waiting for tomorrow, waiting for love to return.

  27. 青春属于表白 阳光属于窗台

    Youth belongs to the confession, sunshine belongs to the windowsill.

  28. 我想属于 一个拥有你的未来

    And I think I belong to a future that holds you.

  29. 彩虹 描画

    The rainbow on paper, drawn with a pencil's hand.

  30. 我还修改 回忆之中你的笑容

    I’m still revising, your smile within my memories.

  31. 怎么形容 思念酝酿

    How to describe the pain brewed by longing

  32. 夜空霓虹 都是不要繁荣

    The neon lights of the night sky are the prosperity I don’t desire

  33. 或许沙滩 或许看看夕阳

    Maybe a trip to the beach, maybe to watch the sunset

  34. 或许任何一个可以心事地方

    Or perhaps any place where I can ponder my thoughts

  35. 情绪咖啡 一篇文章

    Emotions at the café, transformed into an article

  36. 彻底爱上 一般透明

    Totally in love with your tears, transparent like poetry

  37. 看著你的 和弦

    I gaze at your face, lightly brushing the chords

  38. 情人卡片 手写永远

    A handwritten forever in a Valentine card

  39. 记得广场公园 一起表演

    Still remember the square park, performing together

  40. 校园糖果 记忆

    The candy store by the campus, sweetly lingering in my memories

  41. 看著你的 和弦

    I gaze at your face, softly brushing the chords,

  42. 初恋 手写从前

    First love is a handwritten memory of the past,

  43. 记得秋天 再见

    I still remember that autumn when we said goodbye,

  44. 恋情 深埋在 里面

    When love has drifted far, I bury you deep within my heart,

  45. 重温午后 阳光

    I relive the afternoon sunshine,

  46. 吉他 肩上

    With my guitar slung casually over my shoulder,

  47. 年前一样 我们轻轻

    Just like years ago, we sing gently,

  48. 任何地方

    To anywhere we desire,

  49. 看著你的 和弦

    I gaze at your face, softly brushing the chords,

  50. 情人卡片 手写永远

    Valentine's Day card, handwritten forever.

  51. 记得广场公园 一起表演

    Do you remember the plaza park where we performed together?

  52. 校园糖果 记忆

    The candy shop by the school, sweet memories linger.

  53. 看著你的 和弦

    I gaze at your face, lightly brushing the chords.

  54. 初恋 手写从前

    First love was a handwritten story of the past.

  55. 记得秋天 再见

    Do you recall that autumn when we said goodbye?

  56. 恋情 深埋在 里面

    When love has drifted far away, I deeply bury you in my heart.
