[English]

Sea breeze gently brushes the surface of the water

The horizon is hazy and indistinct

It's strange, the sun is so bright

Blurring my vision

I want to capture this beautiful scene

The chords should be light and subtle

But suddenly I realize

I've gone off course

A maze-like world

Surrounded by a bustling crowd

Countless near misses

What's leading up to this?

I see a beam of light between the colorful clouds

A ray of light appears

You've come to keep our date

Our first meeting

My heart is pounding

My left eyelid is twitching wildly

The air feels restless

Like a year has passed in just a second

My heart skips a beat

My left eyelid is twitching uncontrollably

How can I describe

This feeling I have?

Heartbeat is like music suddenly playing

The eyes you've been waiting for

Heartbeat is the spotlight shining

Reflecting on your face

This moment of meeting

Practicing in front of the mirror

Presenting it to you after ten thousand rehearsals

Heartbeat is thinking of you day and night

Your appearance

Heartbeat is having you by my side

As time passes

Let's pinky promise for a million years

Never saying goodbye

The whole world can hear

Our promise

Let's just say we're too naive

So reckless and carefree

Embracing passion and vividly describing

Spending the whole day with you, being silly and playful

An undeniable passion

My heart is surging, constantly presenting itself

Capturing your beautiful image in my dreams

To be fulfilled on this day

My heart is pounding

My left eyelid is twitching wildly

The air feels restless

Like a year has passed in just a second

My heart skips a beat

My left eyelid is twitching uncontrollably

How can I describe this feeling?

Heartbeat is like music suddenly playing

The eyes you've been waiting for

Heartbeat is the spotlight shining

Reflecting on your face

This moment of meeting

Practicing in front of the mirror

Presenting it to you after ten thousand rehearsals

Heartbeat is thinking of you day and night

Your appearance

Heartbeat is having you by my side

As time passes

Let's pinky promise for a million years

Never saying goodbye

The whole world can hear

Our promise

My heart heart beating

Everybody know we loving

Forever together

My heart heart beating

Can you hear my voice?

Heartbeat is

Heartbeat is like music suddenly playing

The eyes you've been waiting for

Heartbeat is the spotlight shining

Reflecting on your face

This moment of meeting

Practicing in front of the mirror

Presenting it to you after ten thousand rehearsals

Heartbeat is thinking of you day and night

Your appearance

Heartbeat is having you by my side

As time passes

Let's pinky promise for a million years

Never saying goodbye

The whole world can hear

Our promise

[Chinese]

海风轻拂海面

地平线若隐若现

怪太阳太刺眼

模糊我的视线

想记录美好画面

和弦要轻描淡写

可是忽然发现

我走错了航线

迷宫般的世界

人潮汹涌的圈

无数次的擦肩

是什么在铺垫

我看见彩云之间

有一束光浮现

是你赶来赴约

初次的见面

心扑通扑通跳

左眼皮也狂跳

空气都变焦躁

像过一年这一秒

心扑通扑通掉

左眼皮也狂掉

该怎么形容

我这种感觉

心动是忽然响起音乐

你期待的眼

心动是聚光灯的光线

映在你的脸

这一刻的遇见

镜子面前排练

几万遍后为你呈现

心动是日夜心心念念

你的出现

心动是你在我的身边

时过境迁

拉钩一百万年

都不说再见

全世界都听见

我们的诺言

就当作我们太懵懂

不知天高地厚多疯癫

抱着热爱描写生动

陪你疯着闹着一整天

不可或非的的热烈

我的心潮澎湃不停歇的呈现

将你的倩影收入梦卷

在这一天兑现

心扑通扑通跳

左眼皮也狂跳

空气都变焦躁

像过一年这一秒

心扑通扑通掉

左眼皮也狂掉

该怎么形容我这种感觉

心动是忽然响起音乐

你期待的眼

心动是聚光灯的光线

映在你的脸

这一刻的遇见

镜子面前排练

几万遍后为你呈现

心动是日夜心心念念

你的出现

心动是你在我的身边

时过境迁

拉钩一百万年

都不说再见

全世界都听见

我们的诺言

my heart heart beating

everybody know we loving

要永远在一起

my heart heart beating

你是否能听到我的声音

心动是

心动是忽然响起音乐

你期待的眼

心动是聚光灯的光线

映在你的脸

这一刻的遇见

镜子面前排练

几万遍后为你呈现

心动是日夜心心念念

你的出现

心动是你在我的身边

时过境迁

拉钩一百万年

都不说再见

全世界都听见

我们的诺言

Key Grammar Structures

• 海风轻拂海面

  ➔ Present Continuous tense (progressive)

  ➔ Describes an action happening **now** or around **now**. Here, the sea breeze is gently touching the sea surface.

• 地平线若隐若现

  ➔ Adverbial phrase (modifying the verb)

  ➔ Describes how the horizon is appearing - barely visible. The phrase '若隐若现' (ruò yǐn ruò xiàn) acts as an adverbial phrase here.

• 模糊我的视线

  ➔ Object + Verb

  ➔ The verb '模糊' (mó hū) means 'to blur' or 'to make indistinct'. The object is '我的视线' (wǒ de shì xiàn) - 'my vision'.

• 想记录美好画面

  ➔ Verb-object construction.

  ➔ The verb '记录' (jì lù) means 'to record' and the object is '美好画面' (měi hǎo huà miàn) - 'beautiful scenes'.

• 可是忽然发现

  ➔ Conjunction '可是' (kěshì) - 'But' / 'However'.

  ➔ This word introduces a contrast or unexpected turn in the narrative. It's used to connect the previous idea with a new one.

• 我走错了航线

  ➔ Past tense (implied)

  ➔ Implies that the action of 'going' and 'taking the wrong route' has been completed. The structure and context point towards a past action.

• 心扑通扑通跳

  ➔ Reduplication

  ➔ The word '扑通' (pū tōng), meaning 'thump', is reduplicated to emphasize the rapid, repeated heartbeat. This is a common stylistic device in Chinese to intensify the meaning.

• 该怎么形容

  ➔ Modal Verb + Verb Construction

  ➔ '该' (gāi) is a modal verb meaning 'should' or 'ought to', followed by the verb '形容' (xíng róng) meaning 'to describe'. This expresses the inability to describe something.

• 心动是忽然响起音乐

  ➔ Copula Verb + Noun phrase + Verb-Object

  ➔ The sentence uses '是' (shì), the copula verb, to link the subject '心动' (xīn dòng) to the descriptive phrase '忽然响起音乐' (hū rán xiǎng qǐ yīnyuè) - 'music that suddenly starts playing'.
