[English]
Opening up naive fondness, no misunderstandings, no need to debate right or wrong
Night winds cross several streets, no one raises a glass again, perhaps who was calm?
And I can't understand, whose confession has set off a storm of flying petals
So I recall certain details, pouring memories into a cup, who should I toast to?
Some things about youth can never be fully captured in just a few lines of poetry
Nor can they be understood through a few chapters of a novel
In stories of heartbreak and sorrow, nothing is completely certain
Only intuition can tell
You said some youth can't be just a few lines of poetry
That first love, sour more than once, stubborn yet longing for someone
Growing up repeats certain moments, can't take them back anymore
Who loved whom first
Youth is like what season? The scent after rain, a deep autumn water
Secret crushes, whispering goodbye to the wind, innocent beginnings cover the mountains and fields
What is called ideals and passion—how should they end, what actions leave no regrets?
All that I’ve just said, confronting whom? Perhaps it's unsolvable
Some things about youth can never be fully captured in just a few lines of poetry
Nor can they be understood through a few chapters of a novel
In stories of heartbreak and sorrow, nothing is completely certain
Only intuition can tell
You said some youth can't be just a few lines of poetry
That first love, sour more than once, stubborn yet longing for someone
Growing up repeats certain moments, can't take them back anymore
Who loved whom first
Flipping through several pages about everything you said
The weariness in your tone, no longer fragmented
You said some youth can't be just a few lines of poetry
That first love, sour more than once, stubborn yet longing for someone
Growing up repeats certain moments, can't take them back anymore
Who loved whom first
And I say, some youth can only be described with poetry
Feeling and imagining, the beauty of words, love flying like butterflies
But I don't know how many pages are needed to describe parting
I can't let go of someone

Key Grammar Structures

  • 打開 青澀的曖昧 不存在誤會 也不討論是非

    ➔ Use of negatives to express certainty

    ➔ The phrase "不存在误会 也不讨论是非" (doesn't exist misunderstanding, also doesn't discuss right and wrong) uses multiple negatives to emphatically state that there are no misunderstandings and no arguments about right or wrong. It emphasizes a clear and uncomplicated situation.

  • 夜風 穿越幾條街 也沒人續杯 或許冷靜 了誰

    ➔ The use of "也" (also/even) to connect related events.

    ➔ Here, "也沒人續杯" (also nobody refills cup) shows a connection to the previous line, suggesting the loneliness or stagnation is pervasive. The wind goes through the streets, and *also* nobody refills their cup, implying a general sense of inactivity.

  • 於是 想起些細節 回憶斟滿杯 到底 應該 敬誰

    ➔ Rhetorical Question with "到底" (dàodǐ)

    "到底应该敬谁" (dàodǐ yīnggāi jìng shéi) - "Who should I toast to, in the end?" The use of "到底" suggests a contemplation of the ultimate recipient of respect or gratitude. It implies a deeper reflection rather than a literal question.

  • 總有些 青春永遠無法 只用幾行詩 描寫

    ➔ Fixed Structure: "總有些...無法...只用..."

    "總有些 青春永遠無法 只用幾行詩 描寫" (There are always some youth memories that can never be described with just a few lines of poetry). "總有些" (always some) introduces a general truth. "無法...只用" (cannot... only use) emphasizes the inadequacy of a limited method to capture a complex experience.

  • 那初戀 微酸了好幾回 倔強卻思念 著誰

    ➔ Adjective + "了" + measure word + "回" to indicate repeated experience

    "微酸了好幾回" (wēisuānle hǎojǐ huí) - "a little sour for several times." The structure "微酸了+好幾+回" implies that the slight sourness of the first love has been experienced repeatedly.

  • 這成長 反覆某些情節 也無法再收回

    ➔ The use of "再" (zài) with a negative to indicate impossibility

    "也無法再收回" (yě wúfǎ zài shōuhuí) - "also cannot be taken back again." "再" emphasizes that something cannot be reverted or undone. It's a point of no return.

  • 年少 像什麼季節 雨後的氣味 一彎深秋 的水

    ➔ Simile using "像" (xiàng) - to be like

    "年少 像什麼季節" (niánshào xiàng shénme jìjié) - "youth is like what season?" This line uses "像" to make a simile, comparing youth to an unspecified season. This invites the listener to consider the qualities and characteristics of youth, associating it with the feelings evoked by various seasons.
