[中文]

你还记得我们曾是两只美丽的鸟儿，我们飞翔时会点亮天空，

你是橙色和红色，像落日时的阳光，我则像苹果的眼睛一样绿色。

你说你喜欢我唱的所有歌曲，像是你从未听过的旋律，

我说我全心全意地爱着你，当我们是两只美丽的鸟儿时。

...

还记得我们曾是两只美丽的鸟儿，我们会说早晨来临时的事情，

你是银色和蓝色，像新月一样，我则像夏日的阳光一样金黄。

但有一天你要求我唱一首不同的歌，

一首我根本无法唱的歌，

我把旋律唱得尖锐，歌词却全都错了，

那是春天的最后几天。

为了筑巢，我们从胸膛里啄出羽毛，

就像一本书撕掉每一页，

我们不知道这些羽毛会长成，

一个美丽的牢笼。

...

[英语]

You remember when we were two beautiful birds, we would light up the sky, when we'd fly,

You were orange and red, like the sun when it sets, I was green as an apple's eye.

You said you loved all the songs that I'd sing, like nothing you'd ever heard,

And I said I loved you with all of my heart when we were two beautiful birds.

Remember when we were two beautiful birds, we would say when the morning would come,

You are silver and blue like the moon when it's new, I was gold as the summer sun.

But one day you asked for a different song,

One that I just couldn't sing,

I got the melody sharp, and the words all wrong,

Those were the last days of spring.

To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests,

Like a book tearing out every page,

We weren't to know that these feathers would grow,

Into a beautiful cage.
