[English]

And I no longer stick like honey

In the fresh breeze, I’ve summarized my little girl’s view of love

When I meet my partner again, I flip through our love story

Then I realize how we fold it on that day

(Life gets busier)

Even if I really want to see him, we don’t meet often

(Waiting intensifies) A divine date

Vivid colors so delicate

His kindness, so good, seems to spring up from nowhere

The poetry of oils, the carved songs, treasures kept in galleries

I can’t hear, I can’t touch—just give me a kiss that I can feel

Like a weekend delivery—an art magazine

His goodness, so wonderful, all recorded in my books

The sun’s warmth, the lonely heart—like a clear morning after dark clouds

Can talk about it, appreciate it, as if I’ve already seen it

Like a weekend delivery—an art magazine

No longer fall into that exaggerated fantasy of forever

Freely exploring the scene he gives me

His kindness, so wonderful, seems to emerge from nowhere

Be careful when it gets too hot—find a point

Let the joy stay fresh, never fading away

(Life gets busier)

Even if I really want to see him, we don’t meet often

(Waiting intensifies) A divine date

Vivid colors so delicate

His kindness, so good, seems to spring from nowhere

The poetry of oils, the carved songs, treasures kept in galleries

I can’t hear, I can’t touch—just give me a kiss that I can feel

Like a weekend delivery—an art magazine

His kindness, so wonderful, all recorded in my books

The sun’s warmth, the lonely heart—like a clear morning after dark clouds

Can talk about it, appreciate it, as if I’ve already seen it

Like a weekend delivery—an art magazine

No longer fall into that exaggerated fantasy of forever

Able to freely explore the scene he provides

His kindness, so good, seems to emerge from nowhere

The poetry of oils, the carved songs, treasures kept in galleries

I can’t hear, I can't touch—just give me a kiss that I can feel

Like a weekend delivery—an art magazine

His kindness, so good, all recorded in my books

The sun’s warmth, the lonely heart—like a clear morning after dark clouds

Can talk about it, appreciate it, as if I’ve already seen it

Like a weekend delivery—an art magazine

Like a weekend delivery—an art magazine

Like a weekend delivery—an art magazine

[Chinese]

而我已再没有像蜜糖黏贴

清风中得出小女子对爱的总结

再遇对象时翻一翻恋爱史

便明白 当天怎么对折

(生活愈忙碌)

纵使与他很想见却不多见

(等待愈浓郁) 神化的约会

意象色彩多么精致

他的好 多么的好 不知哪里出土

油彩的诗 雕刻的歌 像艺廊藏的珍宝

听不到 触摸不到 请给我吻得到

犹如周末递来 一张画报

他的好 多么的好 都写进了书簿

阳光的身 忧郁的心 像密云时的清早

讲得到 欣赏得到 彷佛已见得到

犹如周末递来 一张画报

而我已再没有像旧时哀怨

芬芳中识得不去想对爱的清算

接近过热时小心的找个点

让愉悦 新鲜得不会变

(生活愈忙碌)

纵使与他很想见却不多见

(等待愈浓郁) 神化的约会

意象色彩多么精致

他的好 多么的好 不知哪里出土

油彩的诗 雕刻的歌 像艺廊藏的珍宝

听不到 触摸不到 请给我吻得到

犹如周末递来 一张画报

他的好 多么的好 都写进了书簿

阳光的身 忧郁的心 像密云时的清早

讲得到 欣赏得到 彷佛已见得到

犹如周末递来 一张画报

没有再跌入一生一世那个夸张的妄想

能自由出入地游览 他给我的现场

他的好 多么的好 不知哪里出土

油彩的诗 雕刻的歌 像艺廊藏的珍宝

听不到 触摸不到 请给我吻得到

犹如周末递来 一张画报

他的好 多么的好 都写进了书簿

阳光的身 忧郁的心 像密云时的清早

讲得到 欣赏得到 彷佛已见得到

犹如周末递来 一张画报

犹如周末递来 一张画报

犹如周末递来 一张画报
