"Nursery Rhyme" by Fish Leong

兒歌 by 梁静茹

A small paper boat swimming across the river, suddenly the rain starts
We use our small hands to cover the boat from the raindrops
A paper airplane flies into the fire of the evening sun
You look towards it


I'm avoiding the Summer streets, are you still waiting on me?
Eating ice cream in the sun, sweat dripping on your cheeks
I tiptoe by you and say grow up a bit
Grow up to protect me, okay?


That far far place is ripped open, reflecting the light of dreams
I'm brave to see what tomorrow looks like, no matter what the future


The story without an outcome is the most beautiful, yet not easy for people to forget
It seems life's beauty is left in one brilliant day


You used to ride a wooden horse, I take the train
Our hearts continue to hold that first nursery rhyme
You accidentally remember me humming warmly
And that one moment I was yours


That far far place is ripped open, reflecting the light of dreams
I'm brave to see what tomorrow looks like, no matter what the future


The story without an outcome is the most beautiful, yet not easy for people to forget
It seems life's beauty is left in one brilliant day
