Jiajia, the next time we meet, give me a smile
You see it’s been so long and yet no answer, just stop putting on a brave face
Jiajia, let’s both concede to (your) father and mother
I still have freedom, but they only have you

Look Jiajia, you ought to have remembered my drunken words
(I’ll) personally design a wedding dress of your very own
OK Jiajia, don’t keep opening the wounds on your heart
Hang in there a little longer, very soon it’ll be completely healed

Look Jiajia, you ought to have remembered my drunken words
(I’ll) personally design a wedding dress of your very own

OK Jiajia, don’t keep opening the wounds on your heart
Hang in there a little longer, very soon it’ll be completely healed

Forget it Jiajia, stop taking my drunken calls
I'll hang in there a little longer, very soon I'll have forgotten you

Huha huha huha huha

I just love money money money, whatcha gonna do about it?
Picked up some money money money, weather will be sunny
Don't say my thinking is wrong, don't tell me you don't like cash
Everyone loves loves loves loves loves loves it

If I don't frickin' have money, how can I eat?
How can I live, how can I die, isn't it just paper?
Can anyone stop before it's too late?
Chasing money isn't like street basketball
It's not street dance, not freestyle, natural and unforced flow

Oh, I'm still young, so I gotta make money
Only scrubs don't wanna make money
Count count count count count count count count
Cash, bills, checks, and also bank account

I wanna take a trip to Jamaica, without money how can I go
Before I can buy a house, how long do I gotta save?
Even though I wouldn't run to a bar to drink
But you can never eat enough snacks, sometimes there's not enough money

I love money, you're my most precious treasure, I love you
I love money, no matter where I go, I've gotta bring you along
I love money, you make people go to jail yet no one would harm you
I love money, money money money money money, I love you

I just love money money money, whatcha gonna do about it?
Picked up some money money money, weather will be sunny
Don't say my thinking is wrong, don't tell me you don't like cash
Everyone loves loves loves loves loves loves it

For money, some people will sell weed in Sanlitun
Some people mug girls and aunties on the street
Please don't hurt others, if you don't have money go home and ask your mommy
Snip, snip, cut short your criminal dreams
You better stop yo' fantasizing
Real gangsta can't be forever
So kiddies, gotta say never to gangstas

Forget your Benz or BMW, I’m not interested
Forget your hottie or hunk, I’m not thirsty
Only money can make my life better than yours
With money, I can take a milk bath every day

I love money, you're my most precious treasure, I love you
I love money, no matter where I go, I've gotta bring you along
I love money, you make people go to jail yet no one would harm you
I love money, money money money money money, I love you

I just love money money money, whatcha gonna do about it?
Picked up some money money money, weather will be sunny
Don't say my thinking is wrong, don't tell me you don't like cash
Everyone loves loves loves loves loves loves it

I don’t want everyone to know I didn’t do anything today
I’m very busy, don’t keep sending messages to me
I’ve already read them, even without unlocking my phone I can read them

I don’t want everyone to know what I ate today
I’m very full, ate a stomach full of junk food
I didn’t take a picture, the natural light outside the window wasn't enough

So when you’re busy uploading your
New earrings and denim jacket
What I’m doing, you don’t know
So when you’re busy photoshopping
You with a piece of strawberry cake
What I’m doing, you don’t know
You don’t know

I don’t want everyone to know what I’m wearing today
I got out of bed, but after getting out of bed I didn’t change
Didn’t put on makeup, no luxury brands, no selfie stick

But I have filters filters filters filters
A filter for dating and a filter for failure to understand
A filter for a fake me

So when you’re busy uploading your
New earrings and denim jacket
What I’m doing, you don’t know
So when you’re busy photoshopping
You with a piece of strawberry cake
What I’m doing, you don’t know

You’re strolling down the street, you’re breaking up with someone
You’re getting married, you’re drinking alcohol
You go to Japan, you watch the sunset

You give birth, you’re running a fever
You eat hot pot, you win the lottery
You ride the high-speed train, you have a partner

You get a haircut, you have a birthday
You’re working overtime, you watch a movie
You’re working out, you’re very healthy

Meow! (Really)

When you’re busy uploading your
New earrings and denim jacket
What I’m doing, you don’t know
So when you’re busy photoshopping
You with a piece of strawberry cake
What I’m doing, you don’t know
You don’t know
You don’t know

Hold my hand, I’ll take you commit robbery
Flying bills fill the air, like the scene of a movie
I’ll take the bullets, you stop the bleeding
I’ll give it all to you, I’ll only take 1000

You throw a tantrum, say you want to buy handbags
But I can only afford to give hugs
Alright, let the bank chase the card balance
You loudly demand to go out to eat and take pictures
No matter how much Wagyu beef we order, can’t get full
I pretend my stomach hurts, order a glass of water

Darling
Don’t leave, leave
Give me one more day
I promise I can give you everything

Hold my hand, I’ll take you commit robbery
Flying bills fill the air, like the scene of a movie
I’ll take the bullets, you stop the bleeding
I’ll give it all to you, I’ll only take 1000

Hold my hand, I’ll take you commit robbery
Dig a tunnel to escape, take a police dog with us
Take a private jet to go shopping in Paris
Buy a whole apartment, it’s just money

You scold me for not buying you a BMW
Let you be ridiculed by your friends
What’re you thinking, dating a poor and shabby guy?
You smash a wrist watch without diamonds
Introduce him as a lawmaker
Meaning you’ve become his bitch

Darling
Don’t leave, leave
Give me one more day
I promise I can give you everything

Hold my hand, I’ll take you commit robbery
Flying bills fill the air, like the scene of a movie
I’ll take the bullets, you stop the bleeding
I’ll give it all to you, I’ll only take 1000

Hold my hand, I’ll take you commit robbery
Dig a tunnel to escape, take a police dog with us
Take a private jet to go shopping in Paris
Buy a whole apartment, it’s just money

Take my hand
I’ll buy you the whole world
But you can’t leave my side
Why are you getting farther... (incomplete sentence)

Clouds, just like wandering minstrels
Singing the wind’s song, spitting the rain’s saliva
Birds, forgot how to fly
Anyway, being in a cage isn’t tiring, can sleep soundly

Turn off cell phone, activate insect’s antennae
Let us perceive this world

Right now, close your friend feed
Close your eyes, and your mouth
Ears, can probe orientation
Let us slowly search for the distant place

Reindeer eats that lichen ah
It can’t come out of the forest ah

Information overload is like carbon in the air
Am I engaging too many senses (at once)?
Invite “Silence” on a date
Use insect’s antennae to chat with her

The ink on the page is deeper than that on a page
The music on a live stage is more real than that from earphones
After we meet in person, give me your time, ok?
After returning home, (use our cell phones to) keep in touch

Use insect’s antennae to look far afield
Use insect’s antennae to perceive this world, ok? Heh heh.

Hey mama
This world is constantly changing
There’s no way that my life would be exactly the same as yours

Hey mama
Your son has already grown up
Everyone has to walk their own path

Grandpa always says you didn’t have to bear the hardships of war
You always say we didn’t have to experience the Cultural Revolution
We’ll also say that the each generation is damn inferior to the previous one
But when we’re all old, everything under heaven belongs to those born in the 90s

Hey mama
Society always has many different points of view
What if I was gay?
Is it possible you’d look down on me?

In the past Bruno said
The earth revolves around the sun
But those so-called worldly people
Burned him alive

I have no chance of becoming awesome heroes like them
But I must tenaciously walk the path I’ve chosen
Even though I have nothing at all
However like Pavel (protagonist of Soviet novel How the Steel Was Tempered) I’m still totally satisfied (with life)

Mamama, dear mama, North Korean and South Korea, who is right?
Mamama, dear mama, look at North Korean and South Korea, who is wrong?
Mamama, dear mama, why can’t they peacefully get along?

She came to listen to my concert
First love at 17, the very first date
The boy stood in line all night for her
Half a year’s savings, bought a pair of tickets

My song enchanted her, my song broke her heart
A three year relationship, ended with a single letter
She remembers the horn on the platform urging them towards farewell
Playing my song, crying along with others
Hey, crying with others

She came to listen to my concert
Love at 25, a radiant vision
Boyfriend sent roses to someone else behind her back
She ignores the phone, night after sleepless night listening to music

My song enchanted her, my song broke her heart
Adults split up and then always act like it’s no big deal
With friends, drink and karaoke
Sing my song and cry along with the image on screen
Hey, cry along

My song enchanted her, my song broke her heart
At 33, how precious is true love
Young girl begs her to relent
Let the man decide who to fly away with
Hey, who’s flying away to a faraway place

My song enchanted her, my song broke her heart
She’s trying hard not to look tired
Time hears us singing that we have no complaints and no regrets
To the sound of applause, sing oneself to tears
Hey, sing oneself to tears

She came to listen to my concert
A woman over forty listening to music, very beautiful
The child asks her why she’s crying
The man by her side, long since slipped into slumber
She quietly listens to our concert

Today is another time to drink and sing
A lot of friends are meeting for the first time
Even though you’ve just gotten to know each other, you’ll be saying goodbye again very soon
I hope it isn’t for forever
Even though Bitter Ghost can only offer the gift of a little music
We hope you can hear our warm regards

Time passes day by day
We still haven’t found ourselves
Together with music and beer
There’s us, and sometimes there’s you

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Sometimes feel that life isn’t fair enough
Music, beer, and you all
That’s the point of our existence in this moment

Oh~oh~
This is a sad song
Oh~this is a sad song

Miss Wang turned 31
When her friends see her
They all ask a question:
When do you plan to get married?

But the problem of marriage
Isn’t something she can decide on by herself
She asks her papa, she asks her mama
They both said, you better hurry

Look, look, look at other people, there there there there
Look, look, look look look there there there there

Over-30 artsy girl
Should marry what kind of person?
Shouldn’t she find someone who does art?
This way, they would be fairly compatible?

But artsy boys who do art
Some of them are only into their art
Also, a very small minority of boys who do art
Do art so they can do girls

Doing girls doesn’t mean just doing her
What’s the point of marrying him?
Doing girls doesn’t mean just doing her
Damn damn damn damn it

Friends introduce quite a few
Some have cars, some have houses, some have kids
They said you should find one who has money
Let him support your creative efforts

But no rich guys like her
They only want to marry those who can cook
Girls who can’t cook
Can only become the other woman
Artsy girls who can’t cook
Can only be used by them

Damn damn damn damn it
Oh~ho~oh~ho~ho

This song is a truthful account
If it’s fictional that’s just coincidence
Please don’t take it personally
And then form an online mob to block me

Look, look, look, she can only make stir fried egg and tomato
Look, look, and eat it with instant noodles
That is really quite tasty
Mia mia mia mia mia mia mia
That is really quite tasty
Mia mia mia mia mia mia mia~

Small town builds a pedestrian bridge
To residents accustomed to not having a crosswalk
A road that can be crossed in 2 seconds
Why must one ascend stairs that take dozens of steps
Walk down a corridor of more than 10 meters
Then choose an exit
Descend down a spiral staircase to the other side of the street
That really wastes time
Wastes physical energy, wastes emotions
Wastes youth, wastes ink
Wastes natural gas, wastes renminbi
Wastes food, wastes public resources

Very small pedestrian bridge
Was meant to let people stand even
A little bit high high high high high high higher
But in actuality a very small pedestrian bridge just makes
A very small town even smaller
Even smaller even smaller, really quite small
Just as small as a pea
Even a nearsighted person with a magnifying glass couldn’t see it
Oh
Even a nearsighted person with a magnifying glass couldn’t see it
Oh
Even a nearsighted person with a magnifying glass couldn’t see it
Ah
Even a nearsighted person with a magnifying glass couldn’t see it
Impossible
Even a nearsighted person with a magnifying glass couldn’t see it

Therefore (the residents who are) unpretentious, ordinary, hard-working, benevolent
Loving their hometown
Sometimes prone to taking small advantages
Never step onto it
As always, they live in the busy
Giant stream of people
Wake up, have breakfast, go to work
Eat lunch, take a siesta
Wake up, play cards, play Dou dizhu
Get off work, pick up kids from school
Eat dinner, go for a stroll and dancing
Greet acquaintances
Go back home, wash face, wash feet, rinse mouth
Go to bed and speak quietly for a while

Uncle Li wants to be a Red soldier
Red Army doesn’t want that uncle
Because Uncle Li’s butt is big
Too easy for Japs to spot the target

Uncle Li found the commander
The commander is also an uncle (an old guy)
Because uncle feels sorry for uncle
Uncle honorably joined the army

Uncle Li went on a mission
Got halfway up the mountain
Because Uncle Li’s butt is big
He was spotted by the Japs

Uncle Li patted his stomach and ran
Japs came up stabbing
For the revolution, for the party
Uncle Li gloriously sacrificed himself

Rain falling on pear blossoms
Tightly close the door
Yan clay is spent
Flowers falling into dust

Hoping you are an honoroed guest that understands my kindness and intention
And not a confused person who can't tell right from wrong
I did not come seeking fame and glory
I hope, Mister, that you don't let me down

Uncle Li wants to be a Red soldier
Red army doesn't want Uncle Li
Because Uncle Li’s butt is big
Too easy for Japs to spot the target

Uncle Li found the commander
The commander is also an old uncle
Because old uncle sympathizes with old uncle
Uncle Li honorably became a Red soldier

Uncle Li went on a mission
Climbed up a small hillside
Because Uncle Li’s butt is big
He was spotted by the Japs

Uncle Li slapped his butt and ran
Japs came up stabbing
For the revolution, for the party
Uncle Li gloriously sacrificed himself

For the revolution, for the party
Uncle Li gloriously sacrificed himself
For the revolution, for the party
Uncle Li gloriously sacrificed himself

Drifting in circles
Tired of a thousand people with the same face
The day she descends to earth
What will her appearance be?

Deep black horizon
Unfathomable hallucinations
Long unencountered halo
In front of me, barely discernible

I think this time
I really fell in love with something
I think this time
My heart is harder than stone

Inside my hand
There’s a single rose
There’s just one chance
Want to wilt in your embrace

Inside my gun
There’s a single bullet
Just one swift release
Want to go through your heart

I want to go through
Your heart
I want you to
Constantly think of me

More than 40 seasons
Forgot the feeling of love
Tip of tongue is numb
Cannot taste bitterness, cannot recall sweetness

No matter how many years I’ve waited
No matter how long I’ve walked down the wrong road
As long as I can see
The scene from every night’s dream

I think this time
I really fell in love with something
I think this time
My heart is harder than stone

Inside my hand
There’s a single rose
There’s just one chance
Want to wilt in your embrace

Inside my gun
There’s a single bullet
Just one swift release
Want to go through your heart

I want to go through
Your heart
I want you to
Constantly think of me

10:30 on the subway
Finally everyone gets a seat
Gentle breeze
Softly, softly, softly blows

The (fairly chubby) girl sitting next to me
Leaning heavily against me while sleeping
I didn't push, I can't bear to push
She looks very tired

Slide down the seat, lean back
I lazily stretch my legs
The uncle across from me
While snoring, widely opens his mouth

Nearby auntie, rocking to and fro
She sleeps soundly in her unsteadiness
The girl next to me, gossiping with a friend about someone's
Scandals

I'm also tired
This is the only place where I don't experience insomnia
Sorrowful things, difficult things
Here, I don't have the strength to think of them

The city night, above my head
Silently pass through its heart
Even if it's riddled with problems
Still it smiles elegantly and beautifully

I'm already tired
This is the only place where I don't experience insomnia
Serious things, troublesome things
Here, I can temporarily set them aside

Wait until the stop, get out of the train
The remainder of the trip is still pretty long
Don’t think about it, whatever
Let the breeze blow on my face

10:30 on the subway
Finally everyone gets a seat
Gentle breeze
Softly, softly, softly blows

The (fairly chubby) girl sitting next to me
Leaning heavily against me while sleeping
I didn't push, I can't bear to push
She looks very tired

Since a potato’s composition
Is mostly a bunch of starch
You shouldn’t try to
Compare it with spinach in terms of vitamin A

You can use it with hot peppers to stir fry
A plate of vinegary julienned potato
So umami, spicy, fresh, crispy
You can totally treat it as a staple food

It also contains vitamin A
Has more thiamine than spinach
Stores a long time without spoiling

Since summer is a
Hot and suffocating season
You shouldn’t try to
Compare it with winter in terms of coolness

During the hottest time at noon, you can go out for a walk
Get some sun, sweat, detoxify, enliven blood circulation
Don’t ever need to spend money steaming in the sauna

Got some exercise, distracted oneself a bit
Also became familiar with the surrounding area
Got some exercise, distracted oneself a bit
Also became familiar with the surrounding area

Since the kid will grow up
You can’t stop it no matter what you do
Then you shouldn’t treat him
Like you would treat a Pekinese dog

Let him mistakenly believe this world
Is both refreshingly cool and warm
Basically it’s as if you took a frog
And put it into a pot filled with cold water that you slowly heat up

Flame burns ever more brightly, water gets ever hotter
Until he slowly loses perception

Since I told you that I love you
And you still don’t love me
Then why not just stay silent
And board a random train

Who cares if it’s headed towards a city
Or a small village
Anyway that place will always have
An unremarkable girl just like me

I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Her worries are waiting for me
I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Her worries are waiting for me

In my heart, spring's flowers bloom
I wait for my sparrow to slowly come home
Frog by the river, it goes gugua gugua
Look beneath the grass and lotus leaves

Clouds on the horizon keep growing and growing
Just like cotton candy, I want to eat them up
Hibernating people once again start to go jiji and zhazha
You see, spring is back, how did it come back?

Clouds on the horizon keep growing and growing

Check out spring's hundred flower fragrances (lang li ge lang li ge lang li ge lang)
Check out spring's hundred flower fragrances (get spruced up and go find some girls)
That's beng beng guang guang dang dang bang bang guang guang (sound of cooking with wok)

Spring returns, little sparrows fly back from the south
Spring returns, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, pear blossoms all bloom; little bees also come out to collect nectar
Spring has returned, the spring wind blows (it goes huhu), the spring rain falls (it goes shasha)
Little grasses become green, willow tree grows soft sprouts, willow tree grows soft sprouts

What is this song called? It's called Spring Returns!

Something you didn’t personally ignite
That can’t be called a flame
Something you didn’t personally touch
That can’t be called a jewel
You ah you
Finally appeared
We only met by chance
This heart was smashed to pieces
The entire world completely fell apart

Someone who isn’t personally killed by you
Has absolutely no reason to continue living
You ah you
Finally appeared
We only met by chance
This heart was smashed to pieces
The entire world completely fell apart

If this life must end
Then I must die by your hands
Then I must die by your hands
Then I must die by your hands

Your charm extends out to the Milky Way
You wish you could seduce the whole world
When I’m in the corner and you occasionally think of me
Flirting with girls is righteous

Seeing as how you don’t like me that much
Why are you always flirting with me?
Seeing as how it’s loneliness-induced trouble
Why do you come to burden me?

Because I’ll take it seriously
Because I’m too naive
Helplessly I go past the point of no return
Stupid earnestness
Carefully following your every step
Desperately longing earnestness

Your performing skills surpass those of skilled courtesans
I'm a bag of nerves, you're at ease
When my bored-to-death spirit was set aflame

Flirting with girls is righteous
Seeing as how you don’t like me that much
Why are you always flirting with me?
Seeing as how it’s loneliness-induced trouble
Why do you come to punish me?
Because I’ll take it seriously
Because I’m too naive
Helplessly I go past the point of no return
Stubbornly pursue this error
Desperately longing stupidity

All my feelings
Rise because of you
Fall because of you
Totally befuddled by you
Follow you here
Follow you there
Waste my time on you

Why are you always flirting with me?
Seeing as how it’s loneliness-induced trouble
Seeing as how you don’t like me that much
Why do you come to burden me?

Because I’ll take it seriously
Because I’m too naive
Helplessly I go past the point of no return
Stupid earnestness

In the night sky
So many stars
Bright one is you
Dim one is me

In the wilderness
Flowers in the wind
Red one is you
Green one is me

Between heaven and earth
So many landscapes
Blue mountain is you
Small river is me

In life
So much that is ephemeral
Cloud is like you
Cool breeze is like me

The day will come when we both leave
In turn you forget me
In turn I forget you
Thinking of this makes my heart shatter
Only that night sky’s moonlight understands me

I like lying on the sofa
Thinking of nothing
No way to finish everything I want to do
It's not too late to start tomorrow

Actually I’ve got my hands full
Have to focus on staring into space
Be present
Let the future stay in the future

Lalalalalalalala
My bad habit
Lalalalalalalala
I can always catch up
Take it in stride
I guess I’ll start tomorrow

I accept the plan
But I accept change even more
Accept my current thinking
Just listen to myself

I didn’t say I won’t do it
Still gotta do what should be done
But why are you in such a hurry?
Sit down and talk slowly

Lalalalalalalala
My bad habit
Lalalalalalalala
I can always catch up
Take it in stride
I guess I’ll start tomorrow

Lalalalalalalala
My bad habit
Be lazy for a day, catch up again
It’s bad that I can always catch up
Take it in stride
I guess I’ll start tomorrow

Well I wanna do a lot
Read 'n' learn 'n' listen to a lot more
(But I said I would do it but I didn't)
I dream a lot
Thinkin' talkin' hardly get my hands on

Know how to seize the day
Need to be good at using time
Change it, stop procrastinating

I guess I’ll start tomorrow

Darling Orpheus

Please sing a song
You pluck the lyre strings
Mountains and seas are all moved
Mesmerized by your song

Pitiable Orpheus
Please don’t cry
That despicable poisonous snake
Took away Eurydice
You narrate your grief through song

Weary Orpheus
You walked seven days and seven nights
Arrive at the foothills of Mount Tartarus
That god who can resurrect her
I want to use my sincerity to trade

The golden lyre’s light
Shines through the perpetual darkness
You lightly stroke the strings
The wandering souls
Weep sympathetic tears

Darling Orpheus
Don’t forget your promise
Eurydice is just behind you
Feel the warmth of sunlight
How could you possibly lose her again?

Pitiable Orpheus
Your song contains nothing but sorrow
He lost Eurydice forever
All that’s left is ceaseless
Longing for her

Oh my Orpheus
Those who can’t have you
Who can’t hear your song
In rage and disappointment tear you to shreds
Toss you into the sea along with the lyre

Darling Orpheus
Those streets you walked through
Nightingales circling in the air
Listen to her song
Moves you like nothing else

Tonight we’re gonna relax
Go to the underground pub, entire body is carefree
Men and women drinking, dancing, singing
There’s black, white, yellow, and green, like a United Nations

Rock ‘n’ roll, one song after another
Rocking to the point where no one knows what day it is
Smoke wafts everywhere, nonstop joyous laughter
Can hear Chinese, English, French, German, as well as Spanish

The TVs on the walls are all showing MTV
Sometimes the DJ will play some cool songs
Because music is a wondrous kind of thing
It’ll make you cry, laugh, dance, scream til you’re old

The bigger and packed the crowd is, the more exciting
Scan front and back, left and right, up and down, it’s a happy scene
All night slowly indulging to your heart’s content
Who cares if you’re sitting, standing, leaning, lying down, or floating

This world is so wonderful
Life is good, so many sensations
This world is so wonderful
Having money is good, don’t lack for anything

Tonight we’re gonna relax
Go to the underground pub, entire body is carefree
Men and women drinking, dancing, singing
There’s black, white, yellow, and green, like a United Nations

This world is so wonderful
Life is good, so many sensations
This world is so wonderful
Having money is good, don’t lack for anything

Lady Nüwa mended the heavens
A leftover rock became Mt Hua
Birds fly with their backs to that sun
Fly from the east side to the west side

Why has the sky turned grey?
Why does the earth have no green?
Why are people's hearts not red?
Why has the snowy mountain turned black?

Why does the rhino have no horn?
Why does the elephant have no tusks?
Why does the shark have no fin?
Why do the birds have no wings?

Heaven and earth keep each other company
Birds go around that sun
Mt Hua and Yellow River keep each other company
The rice in the fields bend over in laughter

Why does the desert have no oasis?
Why are the stars no longer twinkling?
Why are the flowers no longer blooming?
Why is the world devoid of color?

Why is it we know the outcome?
Why are we still being wasteful?
We must stop our forward march
(We) should restore a little color to the world

The wind blows her hair into disarray
It also pulls her shadow apart
Really wish it would take me along too
I don’t care if it’s only to idle time away
She says there’s a treasure in my heart
No matter what, don’t let it be destroyed
Since I fly with the wind
I don’t need to let my feet touch the ground

The wind blows
Time go back
Look, look
All the things from the past are here
The big world, does it dazzle the eyes?
It’s just, it’s just that I
Can’t ever find you again

The wind blows wrinkles into her hand
Still wish she would hold my hand for a slow walk
Walk into warm, golden-hued old days
Back then I feared neither heaven nor earth

The wind blows
Time go back
Look, look
All the things from the past are here
The big world, I’ll go there too
Wait, wait
After I’ve walked this path I’ll come

I’m still drinking her jasmine tea
I’m still singing the songs she listened to
Until her inexplicable worries become mine
Her kindness also becomes mine

The wind blows
The wind blows
Would you travel day and night
Brave the wind and waves to come into my dreams?

The wind blows my hair into disarray
I know you’re here
The next time I see you in the spring light
Please don’t leave me behind again

Would you travel day and night
Brave the wind and waves to come into my dreams?

Every young lady is a flower
Wherever it blooms, cow poop will be there
Every dude has a phrase
Don’t know whether or not to say it to a girl

Hey girl, where're you off to?
I haven’t finished saying what I want to say
Hey girl, are you going to come back?
When you get back, let’s finish our conversation

So girl, when you’re thirsty do you drink water?
Me too, this must be fate
Hey girl, when you’re hungry do you eat?
Me too, this must be fate

Hey girl, does your long hair hang over your shoulders?
Me too, this must be fate
Girl, do you like to wear your hair in braids?
Me too, this must be fate

Fate grows wings, it will fly
Without you realizing it, it flies to your side
Fate grows legs, it will run
If you don’t catch him, he’ll be out of sight

So girl, where're you off to?
I haven’t finished saying what I want to say
Hey girl, are you going to come back?
When you get back, let’s finish our conversation

Hey girl, when you’re tired do you sleep?
Me too, this must be fate
Hey girl, when you wake up do you get out of bed?
Me too, this must be fate

Hey girl, do you like listening to this song?
Me too, this must be fate
Hey girl, do you want another one?
Me too, this must be fate

Hey girl girl, when you’re thirsty do you drink water?
Me too, this must be fate
Hey girl girl, when you're hungry do you eat?
Me too, this must be fate

Hey girl girl, does your long hair hang over your shoulders?
Me too, this must be fate
Hey girl girl, do you like to wear your hair in braids?
Me too, this must be fate

They say that place’s sushi has very good vinegar
This time, you have to try out this kind of tofu
Wanzhou grilled fish, braised beef, and little chicken stewed with mushroom
Spicy hot pot, pig slaughter dish, along with Mideastern cuisine

Believe me, these hometown flavors will make you cry
Nearby a new buffet just opened
Crossing-the-bridge noodles, crazy grilled wings, along with special flavor suckling pig
Gluttonous duck, channel catfish, or Beijing-style deep fried tripe

Looking forward to our future tomorrow
But what to do, you’re so bashful

Eating by myself isn’t worth it
I only like two-person set meals
Because all the flavors of life
Are only associated with you

Crowded places with a lot of people annoy me
But I never care how slow the service is
But you just say to me
It was only yesterday that we went out to eat together
