Dumplings

It's late at night but I can't sleep
I'm thinkin' 'bout those dumplings
青翠饱满多神秘 忍不住好奇
qīng cuì bǎo mǎn duō shén mì rěn bú zhù hào qí
Green and plump, so mysterious; I can't help but be curious.
不用汤匙行不行
bù yòng tāng chí xíng bù xíng
Can I do without a spoon?
别让我沉入锅底 别让他们旋转我身体
bié ràng wǒ chén rù guō dǐ bié ràng tā men xuán zhuǎn wǒ shēn tǐ
Don't let me sink to the bottom of the pot; don't let them spin my body.
我的皮薄如蝉翼 我的心害怕被看澈底
wǒ de pí báo rú chán yì wǒ de xīn hài pà bèi kàn chè dǐ
My skin is as thin as a cicada's wing; my heart fears being seen through.
不是针对你
bú shì zhēn duì nǐ
It's not aimed at you.
不是迟早的问题 我们不能在一起
bú shì chí zǎo de wèn tí wǒ men bù néng zài yì qǐ
It's not a matter of when; we can't be together.
我们不能在一起 我们会黏住身体
wǒ men bù néng zài yì qǐ wǒ men huì nián zhù shēn tǐ
We can't be together; we will stick to each other.
若能给的都是皮 我们不能在一起
ruò néng gěi de dōu shì pí wǒ men bù néng zài yì qǐ
If everything given is just the skin, we can't be together.
我们不能在一起 我们要比水轻
wǒ men bù néng zài yì qǐ wǒ men yào bǐ shuǐ qīng
We can't be together; we have to be lighter than water.
It's late at night but I can't sleep
I'm thinkin' 'bout those memories
小心翼翼用感情 全部丢水里
xiǎo xīn yì yì yòng gǎn qíng quán bù diū shuǐ lǐ
Carefully using feelings, throwing everything into the water.
谁能笑我听天命
shuí néng xiào wǒ tīng tiān mìng
Who can laugh at my fate?
请忘记他包过你 也是他才让我遇见你
qǐng wàng jì tā bāo guò nǐ yě shì tā cái ràng wǒ yù jiàn nǐ
Please forget that he wrapped you; it was also him that made me meet you.
如果黏的很澈底 如果这样才能留住你
rú guǒ nián de hěn chè dǐ rú guǒ zhè yàng cái néng liú zhù nǐ
If being sticky goes to the core, if that's how I can keep you.
破了也愿意
pò le yě yuàn yì
I'm willing even if it breaks.
