If I love you, I will never learn to climb the Campbell flower and show off myself with your tall branches. If I love you, I will never learn from spoony birds and repeat monotonous songs for the shade.
It is not only like spring, but also like a dangerous peak, which increases your height and sets off your dignity all year round. Even sunshine, even spring rain.
No, these are not enough. I must be a kapok beside you, standing with you as a tree. Roots, clinging to the ground; Leaves, touching in the clouds. Every time a gust of wind blows, we greet each other.
But no one understood us. You have your copper branches and iron shafts, like knives, swords and halberds. I have my red flower, like a heavy sigh, like a heroic torch/we share the cold wave, lightning and thunder; We * * * enjoy the misty rainbow; Seemingly separated forever, but dependent for life.
This is great love. Loyalty is here. Love not only loves your stalwart body, but also loves the position you insist on and the land under your feet.

The first section "If I love you, I won't show off on your tall branches like climbing Campbell flowers;" If I love you, I will never learn from spoony birds and repeat monotonous songs for the shade; It is not only like spring, but also brings cool comfort all year round; It is not just like a dangerous peak, it increases your height and sets off your dignity. Even sunshine, even spring rain. "
Expressing kapok, she doesn't want to climb to the other side and show off her vanity with the wealth on the other side; She doesn't want to drown in the cold shade of the other party, singing the crazy song of unrequited love alone.
