[English]

Warm breeze blows, unaware of sorrow's taste

Twists and turns, strangely intoxicating

Wild bees circle the roses

Following each other closely

Disturbing sweet dreams time and again

What wind, caught me off guard?

How it blows, teaching people how to be happy

Good, come here

Put on some makeup, acting out a play

Who's curious how many times you sneezed?

Good, come here

Heaven's strangely well-behaved, Earth's strangely well-behaved

So lovely, so lovely, flowers bloom when they're here

Rain's strangely well-behaved, thunder's strangely well-behaved

Quickly laugh, laugh until you fly

So bright and beautiful, like eyebrows of roses

Floating clouds with flowing water, a perfect match

What is this thing called love?

Comes effortlessly

Bet on who can lack, forget, and save whom

What wind, caught me off guard?

How it blows, teaching people how to be happy

Good, come here

Put on some makeup, acting out a play

Who's curious how many times you sneezed?

Good, come here

Boys are strangely well-behaved, girls are strangely well-behaved

So lovely, so lovely, flowers bloom when they're here

You're strangely well-behaved, I'm strangely well-behaved

Quickly laugh, laugh until you fly

Oh my, everything's strangely lovely

So lovely, so lovely, flowers bloom when they're here

Oh my, my heart becomes well-behaved

Quickly laugh, laugh until you fly

Heaven's strangely well-behaved, Earth's strangely well-behaved

So lovely, so lovely, flowers bloom when they're here

Rain's strangely well-behaved, thunder's strangely well-behaved

Quickly laugh, laugh until you fly

Oh my, everything's strangely lovely

So lovely, so lovely, flowers bloom when they're here

Oh my, my heart becomes well-behaved

Quickly laugh, laugh until you fly

[Chinese]

暖風吹 不識愁滋味

百轉千回 怪陶醉

野蜂繞薔薇

形影相隨

把美夢又吵了幾回

什麼風 趁我沒注意

怎麼吹 就教人怎麼歡喜

乖 來

曬個妝 耍了一齣戲

誰又好奇 你打了幾個噴嚏

乖 來

天怪乖 地怪乖

可愛可愛 有花就開

雨怪乖 雷怪乖

快笑起來 笑得飛起來

好明媚 沒寐美玫眉

行雲伴流水 配一對

情何知所謂

得來都不費

賭誰又能 缺了忘了救了誰

什麼風 趁我沒注意

怎麼吹 就教人怎麼歡喜

乖 來

曬個妝 耍了一齣戲

誰又好奇 你打了幾個噴嚏

乖 來

男怪乖 女怪乖

可愛可愛 有花就開

你怪乖 我怪乖

快笑起來 笑得飛起來

哎呀呀 萬物怪可愛

可愛可愛 有花就開

哎喲喲 心就乖起來

快笑起來 笑得飛起來

天怪乖 地怪乖

可愛可愛 有花就開

雨怪乖 雷怪乖

快笑起來 笑得飛起來

哎呀呀 萬物怪可愛

可愛可愛 有花就開

哎喲喲 心就乖起來

快笑起來 笑得飛起來
