Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Birds and Cicada”
nǐ shuō qīng sè zuì dā chū liàn
你 说 青 涩 最 搭 初 恋
You said that the youth and inexperience were best suited to first love
rú xiǎo xuě luò xià hǎi àn xiàn
如 小 雪 落 下 海 岸 线
just like the snow flurries falling along the coastlines
dì wǔ gè jì jiē mǒu yī tiān shàng yǎn
第 五 个 季 节 某 一 天 上 演
The fifth season will occur someday
wǒ men yǒu xiàng yù de shí jiān
我 们 有 相 遇 的 时 间
There will be a time for us to meet
nǐ shuō kōng píng shì hé xǔ yuàn
你 说 空 瓶 适 合 许 愿
You said that empty bottles were good for making wishes
zài fēng nuǎn yuè guāng de dì diǎn
在 风 暖 月 光 的 地 点
at a location where the breeze is warm and the moon is bright
dì shí sān yuè nǐ jiù rú qī chū xiàn
第 十 三 月 你 就 如 期 出 现
In the 13th month you would appear just as scheduled
hǎi zhī jiǎo yě bú zài yáo yuǎn
海 之 角 也 不 再 遥 远
Even the corner of the ocean is no longer far away
nǐ jiāo ào dì fēi yuǎn wǒ qī xī de xià tiān
你 骄 傲 地 飞 远 我 栖 息 的 夏 天
You’ve proudly flown afar, away from the summer where I perched
tīng bú jiàn de xuān yán zhòng fù guò hěn duō nián
听 不 见 的 宣 言 重 复 过 很 多 年
The declaration which I can no longer hear, has been repeated for so many years
běi wěi xiàn de sī niàn bèi jì fēng chuī yuǎn
北 纬 线 的 思 念 被 季 风 吹 远
Monsoons have blown afar the longing from the latitude lines in the Northern Hemisphere
chuī yuǎn mò niàn de cè liǎn
吹 远 默 念 的 侧 脸
blown afar the contemplating face in profile
chuī yuǎn míng chàng de shī piān
吹 远 鸣 唱 的 诗 篇
blown afar the poems sung [by the cicada]
nǐ jiāo ào dì fēi yuǎn wǒ qī xī de yè piàn
你 骄 傲 地 飞 远 我 栖 息 的 叶 片
You’ve proudly flown afar, away from the leaves where I perched
qù bú tóng de shì jiè què cóng bú céng gào bié
去 不 同 的 世 界 却 从 不 曾 告 别
to a different world, without a goodbye
cāng hǎi yuè de xiǎng niàn yǔ huà wǒ zuó tiān
沧 海 月 的 想 念 羽 化 我 昨 天
The longing of the moon above the ocean, has immortalized my past
zài wǒ chéng shú de xiào liǎn
在 我 成 熟 的 笑 脸
on my mature, smiling face
nǐ què wèi kàn guò yī yǎn
你 却 未 看 过 一 眼
of which you never gave a glimpse
nǐ shuō kōng píng shì hé xǔ yuàn
你 说 空 瓶 适 合 许 愿
You said that empty bottles were good for making wishes
zài fēng nuǎn yuè guāng de dì diǎn
