[English]

For you, I write a few pages of poems and vows

Wanting to hold your left hand, but blushing

Wanting to hug your left shoulder, but too scared

Walking with you to the street of flying petals, how to continue the story

Forgive me for being too clumsy, not understanding romance

I don't love this boring world

Only loving your eyes and brows

If you also have time

Come see all this scenery with me

For you, I write a few pages of poems and vows

A few long nights, a few times of missing you

Your turning back makes me lose sleep again

Drunk on last night's wind and tonight's moon for you

Writing chapters, erasing and rewriting them

Silly waiting for that moment when your letter arrives like snow

I don't love this boring world

Only loving your eyes and brows

If you also have time

Come see all this scenery with me

For you, I write a few pages of poems and vows

A few long nights, a few times of missing you

Your turning back makes me lose sleep again

Drunk on last night's wind and tonight's moon for you

Writing chapters, erasing and rewriting them

Silly waiting for that moment when your letter arrives like snow

[Vietnamese]

为你写几页诗篇 几行誓言

想要牵住你的左手 却红了脸

想要搂紧你的左肩 却又胆怯

陪你走到飞花的街 如何能把故事续写

原谅我太笨 风情不解

我不爱 无聊人间

只偏爱 你眉眼

如果你 也有时间

陪我把这 风景看遍

为你写几页诗篇 几行誓言

几个长夜 几次想念

你的转身 让我又失眠

为你醉昨夜的风 今夜的月

写下的章节 删了又写

痴痴等你拜帖的那一刹雪

我不爱 无聊人间

只偏爱 你眉眼

如果你 也有时间

陪我把这 风景看遍

为你写几页诗篇 几行誓言

几个长夜 几次想念

你的转身 让我又失眠

为你醉昨夜的风 今夜的月

写下的章节 删了又写

痴痴等你拜帖的那一刹雪
