[English]

I really want to see you again

With just three words (I need you)

Then one becomes two (That’s true)

Ha Ha Ha

The day you walked into my life (Stay with me)

It turns out, in all these days (Yea Yea)

Only you shine so brightly

You’re calling out to me

I can hear what's in your heart (What's in your heart)

I'll feel my heart beat a thousand times

Ten thousand times (Millions of times)

I want to see

Your smiling face (Smiling face) every time

All year, from one to twelve (Twelve)

Hoping we can make it happen again and again (Make it happen)

The most beautiful encounter

I’m Mr. Winter-sunshine

And I’mma say this one time

Ya one time

Just wanna give you all the time that you deserve

Cozy winter time

When I know that we need work

To make this work out

What love is all about

I can promise you the world

And I walk a hundred miles

Just to tell you one word

You'll always come first

Oh I swear this christmas

Having you is so wonderful

Tonight, I want to fly even higher with you

Having you, I just want to celebrate

The melody hugs you and me along the starry sky

Having you is really great

Soon, I'll count down with you again

At Christmas, I just want to be content

Staying in the crowd with you, being blessed

Du Lu Du Lu Du Lu Du Lu Du (It’s you)

The one I want

You're calling out to me, I'll remember your voice

(Your voice)

I'll also feel my heart beat a thousand times again

Ten thousand times

Waiting month by month, January, February

Preparing gifts under the tree

Picking and choosing in March, April, May, and June

Using romantic atmosphere in September

Waiting to see you again in December

Yea

I want you to know

Having you is so wonderful

Tonight, I want to fly even higher with you

Having you, I just want to celebrate

The melody hugs you and me along the starry sky

Having you is really great

Soon, I'll count down with you again

At Christmas, I just want to be content

Being able to reunite in the crowd with you is a blessing

好想可再跟你見一面

憑著三個字 (I need you)

然後一變二 (That’s true)

Ha Ha Ha

今天你走進我生活時 (Stay with me)

原來日子裡面 (Yea Yea)

唯獨你閃閃發光

你向我呼叫

我會聽到你的心意(你的心意)

我會發覺我心跳一次千次

萬次 (百萬次)

我會想要每次看到

你的歡笑 (歡笑)

全年由一到十二 (十二)

祈求能一再實現 (實現)

Key Grammar Structures

• 好想可再跟你見一面

  ➔ Modal verb 想 (xiǎng) + Adverb 可 (kě) + Verb

  ➔ Here, “想” (xiǎng) expresses a desire, and “可” (kě) softens the tone, indicating a hope or possibility. The structure implies a wish to "be able to" see the person again. So, "好想可再跟你見一面" translates to "I really want to be able to see you again."

• 原來日子裡面 (Yea Yea) 唯獨你閃閃發光

  ➔ Adverbial Phrase + 唯獨 (wéidú) + Subject + Verb

  ➔ “唯獨” (wéidú) means "only; alone". The sentence structure emphasizes that only you shine brightly in the days.

• 我會聽到你的心意(你的心意)

  ➔ Future Tense with 會 (huì)

  ➔ “會 (huì)” indicates a future action or certainty. "我" "會" "聽到" "你的心意" means "I will hear your intention."

• 全年由一到十二 (十二)

  ➔ Preposition 由 (yóu) indicating starting point

  ➔ "由" (yóu) indicates the starting point or origin. So, "由一到十二" means "from one to twelve".

• 有了你多麼美好

  ➔ Exclamatory sentence with 多麼 (duōme)

  ➔ “多麼” (duōme) expresses a high degree of something. "有了" "你" "多麼" "美好" means "How wonderful it is to have you".

• 今晚要與你飛得更高

  ➔ Complement 得 (dé) describing the degree of the verb

  ➔ The "Verb + 得 + Adjective" structure describes the degree of the verb. "飛得更高" (fēi de gèng gāo) means "fly higher" or "fly in a higher manner."

• 你哋一個二個喺度做乜嘢呀？

  ➔ Informal Cantonese question structure: Subject + quantity (one by one) + 喺度 (hái dou) + Verb + Question particle

  ➔ This line is in Cantonese. "你哋一個二個" means "you guys, one by one". "喺度" (hái dou) is a particle indicating continuous action. "做乜嘢呀" (zou mat ye aa) means "what are you doing?". So, the sentence translates to "What are you all doing?".
