橡树的绿叶啊 白色的竹篱芭
Oh, the green leaves of the oak, the white bamboo fence
好想告诉我的她 这里像幅画
I really want to tell her, this place feels like a painting
去年的圣诞卡 镜子里的胡渣
Last year's Christmas card, the stubble in the mirror
画面开始没有她 我还在装傻
The scene starts without her, I’m still pretending to be clueless
说好为我泡花茶
Promise to brew me some floral tea
学习摆刀叉
Learning to set the table with knife and fork
学生宿舍空荡荡的家
The student dorm is an empty home
守著电话 却等不到她
Waiting by the phone, but she doesn’t call
心里的雨倾盆而下
The rain in my heart pours down heavily
也沾不湿她的发
Yet it can't even touch her hair
泪晕开明信片上的牵挂
Tears blur the concern on the postcard,
那伤心原来没有时差
That heartbreak turns out to have no time difference.
心里的雨倾盆而下
The rain in my heart pours down in torrents,
却始终淋不到她
Yet it never quite reaches her.
寒风经过院子里的枝桠
The cold wind passes through the branches in the yard,
也冷却了我手中的鲜花
And it chills the fresh flowers in my hand.
橡树的绿叶啊 白色的竹篱芭
Oh, the green leaves of the oak, the white bamboo fence,
好想告诉我的她 这里像幅画
I really want to tell her, this place is like a painting.
去年的圣诞卡 镜子里的胡渣
Last year's Christmas card, the stubble in the mirror,
画面开始没有她 我还在装傻
The scene starts without her, and I'm still pretending to be foolish.
说好为我泡花茶
You promised to brew me tea with flowers
学习摆刀叉
Learning to set the table with knife and fork
学生宿舍空荡荡的家
The dorm room feels so empty, like home
守著电话 却等不到她
Waiting by the phone, yet she never calls
心里的雨倾盆而下
The rain in my heart pours down heavily
也沾不湿她的发
But it never touches her hair at all
泪晕开明信片上的牵挂
Tears blur the feelings written on the postcard
那伤心原来没有时差
That heartbreak, it turns out, has no time zone
心里的雨倾盆而下
The rain in my heart pours down heavily
却始终淋不到她
Yet it never, ever falls on her
寒风经过院子里的枝桠
The cold wind sweeps through the branches in the yard
也冷却了我手中的鲜花
It also cools the fresh flowers in my hands
心里的雨倾盆而下
The rain in my heart pours down heavily
也沾不湿她的发
Yet it can't wet her hair
泪晕开明信片上的牵挂
Tears blur the longing on the postcard
那伤心原来没有时差
That heartbreak turns out to have no time difference
心里的雨倾盆而下
The rain in my heart pours down heavily
却始终淋不到她
But it never reaches her
寒风经过院子里的枝桠
The cold wind sweeps through the branches in the yard
也冷却了我手中的鲜花
It also cools the fresh flowers in my hands
