  1. 走过了很多地方 我来到伊斯坦堡

    I've traveled to many places, and I’ve arrived in Istanbul,

  2. 就像是童话故事 有教堂有城堡

    Just like a fairy tale, with churches and castles around.

  3. 每天忙碌地的寻找 到底什么我想要

    Every day, I’m busy searching for what I truly desire,

  4. 却发现迷了路怎么找也找不著

    But I find I'm lost, no matter how much I wander about.

  5. 心血来潮起个大早 怎么我也睡不著

    On a whim, I rise early, but I can't seem to sleep,

  6. 昨晚梦里你来找 我才

    Last night, in my dreams, you came to find me,

  7. 原来我只想要你 陪我去吃汉堡

    It turns out all I want is you to accompany me for a burger,

  8. 说穿了其实我的愿望就怎么小

    To put it plainly, my wish is really quite small,

  1. 就怎么每天祈祷我的心跳你知道

    So every day I pray, hoping you know my heart's call.

  2. 杵在伊斯坦堡 却只想你和汉堡

    Stuck in Istanbul, yet I only want you and a burger.

  3. 我想要你的微笑每天都能看到

    I want to see your smile every day.

  4. 我知道这里很美但家乡的你更美

    I know this place is beautiful, but you back home are even prettier.

  5. 走过了很多地方 我来到伊斯坦堡

    I've traveled through many places, I’ve arrived in Istanbul.

  6. 就像是童话故事 有教堂有城堡

    Just like a fairy tale, with churches and castles around.

  7. 每天忙碌地的寻找 到底什么我想要

    Each day I busily search for what it is that I desire.

  8. 却发现迷了路怎么找也找不著

    But I find myself lost, no matter how hard I try.

  9. 心血来潮起个大早 怎么我也睡不著

    On a whim, I wake up early, yet I can't seem to sleep.

  10. 昨晚梦里你来找 我才

    Last night in my dream, you came to me.

  11. 原来我只想要你 陪我去吃汉堡

    Turns out I just want you, to join me for a burger.

  12. 说穿了其实我的愿望就怎么小

    To put it simply, my wish is really so small.

  13. 就怎么每天祈祷我的心跳你知道

    Praying every day, you know my heart beats for you.

  14. 杵在伊斯坦堡 却只想你和汉堡

    Stuck in Istanbul, but all I think of is you and a burger.

  15. 我想要你的微笑每天都能看到

    I want to see your smile every single day.

  16. 我知道这里很美但家乡的你更美

    I know this place is beautiful, but you back home are even more so.
