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

Chinese lyrics

既然土豆的成份
主要就是些淀粉
那就不应该拿它
去和菠菜比什么维生素A

可以用它和辣椒炒
一盘醋溜土豆丝
又香又辣又鲜又脆
直接可以当做主食

它也含维生素A
硫胺素比菠菜多
放很长时间 也不腐烂

既然夏天就是个
又闷又热的季节
那就不应该拿它
去和冬天比谁凉快

可以在中午最热的 时候出去遛遛
又晒又出汗又排毒又活血
不用再花钱去蒸桑拿

也运动了,也散心了
周围的环境也摸清了
也运动了,也散心了
周围的环境也摸清了

既然孩子要长大
你挡也挡不住
那就不应该对他
像对待一只哈巴狗

让他误以为这世界
既清凉又暖和
到头来却像把一只青蛙
按进冷水锅再慢慢加热

火越烧越旺,水越来越烫
直到他渐渐失去知觉

既然我说我爱你
你还是不爱我
那就不如什么也不说
随便搭上一趟列车

管它前方是城市
还是个小村落
反正那里总会有个
像我一样不起眼的姑娘

在等着,在等着
她的烦恼在等着我
在等着,在等着
她的烦恼在等着我
