午後的風搖晃枝椏 抖落了盛夏

The afternoon wind shakes the branches, shaking off the summer

我對著蟬認真說話 在對你牽掛

I talk seriously to the cicadas, thinking of you

晚風輕敲著海沙 浪堆積起無暇

The evening breeze gently taps the beach, waves piling up perfectly

我跟純真在比傻 愛上你放不下

I compete with innocence in foolishness, unable to let go of loving you

這風景如畫 (開滿鳳凰鳳凰花)

This scenery is like a painting (full of phoenix flowers)

院子裡花灑 (澆灌著那種情話)

In the yard, the sprinkler (waters that kind of love talk)

等最美的晚霞 等故事長大

Waiting for the most beautiful sunset, waiting for the story to grow

用手中的流沙畫一個你呀 曾說過的永遠我們一定不會擦

With the sand in my hand, I draw a picture of you, the forever we promised will never be erased

我的青春開始在喧嘩 因為大聲說愛你而沙啞

My youth begins in a clamor, hoarse from loudly saying I love you

用手中流沙輕描著你的臉頰 也答應說好的未來絕不會重畫

Gently tracing your cheek with the sand in my hand, also promising that the future we agreed on will never be redrawn

許過的承諾我就不會再去拿 因為我愛你呀

The promises made, I will not take back, because I love you

...

...

將思念壓成花 有你的記憶乾燥成瓶中沙

Compressing my longing into flowers, your memories dry into sand in a bottle

像沙漏般想著你滴滴達達

Thinking of you like an hourglass, tick-tock

擦美美的趾甲 喝你泡的茶 原來幸福可以這麼優雅

Polishing my nails beautifully, drinking the tea you brewed, it turns out happiness can be so elegant

不論多大風沙 路多分岔 我一樣找到你呀

No matter how strong the wind and sand, no matter how the road forks, I will still find you

管它風怎麼颳 管雨又怎麼下 越痛我就越來(越瀟灑)

No matter how the wind blows, how the rain falls, the more it hurts, the more I come (more carefree)

不摘不屬於自(己的花) 喔愛閃著淚光為你我可以當傻瓜

Not picking flowers that don't belong (to me), oh love shines with tears, for you I can be a fool

這風景如畫 (開滿鳳凰鳳凰花)

This scenery is like a painting (full of phoenix flowers)

院子裡花灑 (澆灌著那種情話)

In the yard, the sprinkler (waters that kind of love talk)

等我們的童話 等誓言落下

Waiting for our fairy tale, waiting for the vows to fall

用手中的流沙畫一個你呀 曾說過的永遠我們一定不會擦

With the sand in my hand, I draw a picture of you, the forever we promised will never be erased

我的青春開始在喧嘩 因為大聲說愛你而沙啞

My youth begins in a clamor, hoarse from loudly saying I love you

用手中流沙輕描著你的臉頰 也答應說好的未來絕不會重畫

Gently tracing your cheek with the sand in my hand, also promising that the future we agreed on will never be redrawn

許過的承諾我就不會再去拿 因為我愛你呀

The promises made, I will not take back, because I love you
