Lyrics (Original Chinese, Pinyin Romanization, and English Translation):

你走在 公园旁 热闹的路上

nǐ zǒu zài gōng yuán páng rè nào de lù shàng

You walk on the bustling road by the park

迷了路的肩膀 被遗忘

mí le lú de jiān bǎng bèi yí wàng

Shoulders that are lost, forgotten

晚风吹 夏夜长 抬头看月亮

wǎn fēng chuī xià yè cháng tái tóu kàn yuè liàng

The evening wind blows, the summer night is long, [you] raise your head and look at the Moon

你小小的手掌蒙住眼眶

nǐ xiǎo xiǎo de shǒu zhǎng méng zhù yǎn kuāng

Your little palms cover your eyes

你想被哄睡在梦中

nǐ xiǎng bèi hǒng shuì zài mèng zhōng

You want to be tucked into your dreams

在温柔歌声的催眠中 没有惶恐

zài wēn ròu gè shēng de cuī mián zhōng méi yǒu huáng kǒng

to be hypnotized by gentle songs, free from fear

可是你像被丢弃的一颗石头

kě shì nǐ xiàng bèi diū qì de yì kē shí tóu

But you are like an abandoned stone

孤独地等待着被谁营救

gū dú de děng dài zhe bèi shuí yíng jiù

lonely waiting to be rescued by someone

CHORUS:

用我胸口 暖你的手 这炽热的念头

yòng wǒ xiōng kǒu nuǎn nǐ de shǒu zhè chì rè de niàn tóu

This burning desire I have, to use my chest to warm your hands

想轻轻地拥抱你 不放手

xiǎng qīng qīng de yōng bào nǐ bú fàng shǒu

to gently embrace you, and not let go

你的寒冬 你的颤抖 让我全都带走

nǐ de hán dōng nǐ de chàn dǒu ràng wǒ quán dōu dài zǒu

Your cold winters, your trembling, let me take them all away

你是我 曾经的 小时候

nǐ shì wǒ céng jīng de xiǎo shì hòu

You are my past childhood

Oh~ 跟我走 Oh~

Oh gēn wǒ zǒu Oh~

Oh come with me oh

你渴望被拥在怀中

nǐ kě wàng bèi yōng zài huái zhōng

You long to be embraced

你看着天空又看看我 那是彩虹

nǐ kàn zhe tiān kōng yòu kàn kan wǒ nà shì cǎi hóng

You look at the sky, and then look at me – that’s a rainbow

我和你一样都曾经是颗石头

wǒ hé nǐ yí yàng dōu céng jīng shì kē shí tou

I am just like you, once a stone

所以我想贴着你的额头

suǒ yǐ wǒ xiǎng tiē zhe nǐ de é tóu

so I want to [put my face] to your forehead [hug you]

CHORUS x2

Oh~ 跟我走 Oh~

Oh gēn wǒ zǒu Oh~

Oh come with me oh
