Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

窗紗外 小鹿給我送枝花

Outside the window, a little deer sends me a branch of flowers

梳化上 下凡天使共我喝著茶

On the sofa, dancing angels and I share tea

世間千千萬萬人 未明白我

Countless people in the world don’t understand me

替這位空想家驚訝

Surprised at this dreamer

孤單真的不可怕 能讓我畫滿花

Being lonely isn't really scary; it lets me fill the room with flowers

還未算是那麼差

It's not that bad after all

讓那 恐龍成群行過枱面

Let the dinosaurs walk past the table in herds

衣櫃入面藏著花園

Inside the wardrobe, there's a garden

心儀男孩長駐於身邊

My favorite boy stays by my side

夢要變真也沒那樣遠

Dreams can come true—they're not so far away

生命從未如樂園

Life has never been like paradise

也可靠我創造浮現

But I can make it appear

讓那 彩虹長橋無限伸展

Let the rainbow bridge stretch endlessly

飛象日日雲上表演

The flying elephant performs above the clouds every day

魔幻現實尋到相交點

Finding the crossing point between fantasy and reality

在我心房的 黃色 門裡

Inside the yellow door of my heart

保存著 未坐那火箭

Holding onto the rocket I never rode

...

...

天花上 星星眨眼變煙花

Stars blink on the ceiling, turning into fireworks

口袋內 是前一晚摘了那月牙

In my pocket, the crescent moon I plucked last night

我編繪的讓別人 視為幻覺

The stories I craft are seen as illusions by others

我早知因此不驚詫

I knew that, so I wasn’t surprised

今天雖則長高了

Even if I’ve grown taller today

牆上繼續掛的 還是我六歲的畫

The paintings on the wall are still from when I was six

讓那 恐龍成群行過枱面

Let the dinosaurs walk past the table in herds

衣櫃入面藏著花園

Inside the wardrobe, there's a garden

心儀男孩長駐於身邊

My favorite boy stays by my side

夢要變真也沒那樣遠

Dreams can come true—they're not so far away

生命從未如樂園

Life has never been like paradise

也可靠我創造浮現

But I can make it appear

讓那 彩虹長橋無限伸展

Let the rainbow bridge stretch endlessly

飛象日日雲上表演

The flying elephant performs above the clouds every day

魔幻現實尋到相交點

Finding the crossing point between fantasy and reality

在我心房的 黃色 門裡

Inside the yellow door of my heart

保存著 未坐那火箭

Holding onto the rocket I never rode

...

...

讓那 海豚時時游到指尖

Let the dolphins swim to my fingertips anytime

不由旁人沉悶傷損

So others won't feel bored or hurt

一人同行 行進卡通片

Walking alone, moving like a cartoon

在我堅持的 黃色 門裡

Inside the yellow door I insist on

珍藏著 自製那冠冕

Storing my handmade crown

窗紗外 小鹿給我送枝花

Outside the window, a little deer sends me a branch of flowers

想想吧 真想給你見到牠

Just imagine—I'd love for you to see it

...
