[English]

Two silly people made a wish

At that time, the stars were winking, looking not far away

Flying with wings for you, being blown by the wind for you

Please wait for me

On the day I bring happiness to you

Walking in spring, watching the sea in summer, counting leaves in autumn

Always without worries

Always without arguments

Making every day as sweet as sugar

In winter, when it snows, I am the blanket warming your night

Always by your side

Loving you forever

You just lean on my shoulder

Pressing your face, taking a photo

The world is very complicated, come a little closer to me

I hope you are happy and safe every day

Two lovers hand in hand

No one needs to run to chase anyone

Walking in spring, watching the sea in summer, counting leaves in autumn

Always without worries

Always without arguments

Making every day as sweet as sugar

In winter, when it snows, I am the blanket warming your night

Always by your side

Loving you forever

You just lean on my shoulder

Walking in spring, watching the sea in summer, counting leaves in autumn

We have always been without worries

Always without arguments

Making every day as sweet as sugar

In winter, when it snows, I am the blanket warming your night

Always by your side

Loving you forever

You just lean on my shoulder

Walking in spring, watching the sea in summer, counting leaves in autumn

We have always been without worries

Always without arguments

Making every day as sweet as sugar

In winter, when it snows, I am the blanket warming your night (warming your night)

Always by your side

Loving you forever

You just lean on my shoulder

[Chinese]

傻傻兩個人 許過一個願

當時星星眨著眼 看起來並不遠

為妳長翅飛 為妳被風吹

請妳千萬要等我

帶幸福來給妳的那一天

春天散步夏天看海秋天數落葉

一直沒有煩惱

一直沒有爭吵

讓 每天像糖一樣甜

冬天飄雪我是棉被溫暖妳的夜

一直在你身邊

一直愛到永遠

妳 就負責靠著我的肩

貼著妳的臉 拍一張照片

世界是很複雜的 要靠我近一點

但願妳每天 幸福又安全

兩隻戀人手牽手

誰也不用再跑給誰去追

春天散步夏天看海秋天數落葉

一直沒有煩惱

一直沒有爭吵

讓 每天像糖一樣甜

冬天飄雪我是棉被溫暖妳的夜

一直在你身邊

一直愛到永遠

妳 就負責靠著我的肩

春天散步夏天看海秋天數落葉

我們一直沒有煩惱

一直沒有爭吵

讓 每天像糖一樣甜

冬天飄雪我是棉被溫暖妳的夜

一直在你身邊

一直愛到永遠

妳 就負責靠著我的肩

春天散步夏天看海秋天數落葉

我們一直沒有煩惱

一直沒有爭吵

讓 每天像糖一樣甜

冬天飄雪我是棉被溫暖妳的夜 (溫暖你的夜)

一直在你身邊

一直愛到永遠

妳 就負責靠著我的肩
