七里香
Redolent for 7 Miles

窗外的麻雀　在电线杆上多嘴
The sparrows are chatty outside on the electricity pole
妳说这一句　很有夏天的感觉
You say this proposition has the feeling of summer
手中的铅笔　在纸上来来回回
The pencil in hand is going back and forth on paper
我用几行字形容妳是我的谁
I need to use several lines to describe who you are to me

秋刀鱼　的滋味　猫跟妳都想了解
The flavor of saury, both you and the cat want to understand
初恋的香味就这样被我们寻回
This fragrance of first love is thus sought back by us
那温暖　的阳光　像刚摘的　鲜艳草莓
This warm sunray is like the fresh strawberries that were just picked
你说妳舍不得吃掉这一种感觉
You say you couldn’t bear to eat away this feeling

雨下整夜　我的爱溢出就像雨水
The rain falls all night, my love overflows like the strings of raindrops
院子落叶　跟我的思念厚厚一叠
Like the leaves fallen in the courtyard, my missing of you piles up thick and heavy
几句是非　也无法将我的热情冷却
A little gossip or dispute cannot cool down my passionate love for you
妳出现在我诗的每一页
You appear at every single page of my poem
雨下整夜　我的爱溢出就像雨水
The rain falls all night, my love overflows like the strings of raindrops
窗台蝴蝶　像诗里纷飞的美丽章节
Window ledge and butterflies, just like the elegant phrases flowing in the poem
我接着写　把永远爱妳写进诗的结尾
I continue to write, and comprise “I love you forever” into the ending of the poem
妳是我唯一想要的了解
You are the only thing I want to understand

那饱满　的稻穗　幸福了这个季节
Those plump ears of rice brought happiness to this whole season
而妳的脸颊像田里熟透的番茄
Your cheeks are like the ripe tomatoes in the field
妳突然　对我说　七里香的　名字很美
All of sudden you say the name “redolent for 7 miles” is beautiful
我此刻却只想亲吻妳倔强的嘴
But at this moment I only want to kiss your stubborn mouth
