  1. 走过很多地方 来到伊斯坦堡

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

  2. 就像童话故事 教堂城堡

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

  3. 每天忙碌寻找 到底什么想要

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

  4. 发现怎么找不著

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

  5. 心血来潮 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

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

  7. 原来我只想要 我去汉堡

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

  8. 穿其实我的愿望怎么

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

  9. 怎么每天祈祷我的心跳知道

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

  10. 伊斯坦堡 只想汉堡

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

  11. 想要你的微笑每天都能看到

    I want to see your smile every day.

  12. 我知道这里很美家乡更美

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

  13. 走过很多地方 来到伊斯坦堡

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

  14. 就像童话故事 教堂城堡

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

  15. 每天忙碌寻找 到底什么想要

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

  16. 发现怎么找不著

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

  17. 心血来潮 怎么我也睡不著

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

  18. 昨晚梦里你来

    Last night in my dream, you came to me.

  19. 原来我只想要 我去汉堡

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

  20. 穿其实我的愿望怎么

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

  21. 怎么每天祈祷我的心跳知道

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

  22. 伊斯坦堡 只想汉堡

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

  23. 想要你的微笑每天都能看到

    I want to see your smile every single day.

  24. 我知道这里很美家乡更美

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