(In Mandarin)
因為思念時光走得匆匆
月光輕輕把夢帶走所有失眠的夜想你夠不夠

看雲水漂流看著落葉被帶走
淚濕的枕頭枕乾潮濕的溫柔
等到下一個春秋等到秋葉被紅透
讓那指針慢慢走停在花開的時候
不是因為寂寞才想你
只是因為想你才寂寞
當淚流下的時候所有風景都沈默

(Because of longing, time flies by
The moonlight gently takes away the dream, will my sleepless nights missing you be enough

Watching the clouds and water drifting, watching the fallen leaves being taken away
The tear-wet pillow, the pillow daps the tears tenderly
Wait until the next spring and autumn, wait until the autumn leaves are completely red
Let the pointer move slowly and stop when the flowers bloom
I miss you not because I'm lonely
I'm lonely just because I miss you
When tears flow down, all the scenery is silent)

呃，好冷
(erh, so cold!）

嘿，等一下
(hey, wait!）

基本上都會這樣啊
(that’s how it is in general…)

回不回去，回不回去他（她）還不是一樣，就是來了又走了
(Whether to go back or not, whether to go back or not it will be the same for him/her, he/she just comes and goes)

換我怎能心甘
(How can I be willing to change)

(in local language)
重某？
什麼？
(Is it heavy?
what？）

(In Mandarin)
也是貴的要命，哈哈哈哈
對唄，少一千二十。哈哈哈哈
(It’s also expensive, hahahaha
That's right, one thousand and twenty less. hahahah）

八點，還可以啦
(Eight o'clock, okay）

(in local language)
多一隻哇，等陣7點鐘開門係某？
係
(One more, do you open at 7 o'clock?
Yes)

以某試試白斬鴨喂，白斬鴨
(Why don’t you try the poached Duck, the poached Duck)

正常某有十蚊子一斤肉啊？
(Isn’t it normally ten yuan for half a kilogram of meat?）

家下返佢了。
家下返佢啦？關門啊
(I am going home
You going home? Close the door.)

哎呀，好生意吶！
(Oh, good business!）

(In Mandarin)
搭車嗎？帥哥
(do you need a ride, mate?)
