[English]

Leaning against the tree branch

A dragonfly rests by the dew to cool off

Under the plum tree after the confession

The soil sprouts new life

So beautiful it’s unreal

Let me think a little more

How to say the cheesiest love lines

Slow-simmered, steady and enduring

Wishing for a long, lasting love

Promising to grow old together

Your gentle smile is like plum sauce

I taste the minty lip gloss on your lips

It’s a sweet, sweet love

So sure and clear

Because of every shy reaction of yours

Your gentle smile is like plum sauce

I love how the wind blows through your hair

A thick, sweet feeling

Weighing some happiness to keep

Taking a photo together

With the sunset

Scoop up this flavor

Day and night, the perfect balance

The tender mix of fruit and caramel

In a few more seasons

I’ll feed you a bite

Your gentle smile is like plum sauce

I taste the minty lip gloss on your lips

It’s a sweet, sweet love

So sure and clear

Because of every shy reaction of yours

Your gentle smile is like plum sauce

I love how the wind blows through your hair

A thick, sweet feeling

Weighing some happiness to keep

Taking a photo together

With the sunset

A thick, sweet feeling

Weighing some happiness to keep

Taking a photo together

With the sunset

[Chinese]

背靠在樹枝上

蜻蜓落在露水旁乘涼

表白後的烏梅樹下

土壤發了芽

美得不像話

再讓我想一想

那最膩的情話怎麼講

慢火熬的細水長流

念長長久久

約好到白頭

你淺淺的微笑就像烏梅子醬

我嚐了你嘴角唇膏薄荷味道

是甜甜的愛情

來的這麼確定

因為你每個害羞的反應

你淺淺的微笑就像烏梅子醬

迎風吹過你的頭髮我好喜歡

厚厚的甜蜜感

用幸福秤桿秤一些收藏

合照一张

和夕陽

舀一勺這味道

暮暮朝朝比例剛剛好

果肉配焦糖的溫柔

再幾個春秋

我餵你一口

你淺淺的微笑就像烏梅子醬

我嚐了你嘴角唇膏薄荷味道

是甜甜的愛情

來的這麼確定

因為你每個害羞的反應

你淺淺的微笑就像烏梅子醬

迎風吹過你的頭髮我好喜歡

厚厚的甜蜜感

用幸福秤桿秤一些收藏

合照一張

和夕陽

厚厚的甜蜜感

用幸福秤桿秤一些收藏

合照一張

和夕陽
