Liu Wen Zheng Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
愿他能了解我的一片真情意
(男)喝一口葡萄美酒甜蜜在心里
我想要对她诉说心中的话语
可是这一片心意埋藏在心底
却不敢对她说句爱上你
喔 爱上你
愿他能了解我的一片真情意
虽然他不言不语不说话一句
我想要对她说:想念你
喔 想念你
(男)爱上的人儿对我说她想念我
却怪我默默不语不睬又不理
可是她并不了解我焦急在心里
我想要对他说句 爱上你
喔 爱上你
(女)这一杯葡萄美酒代表我的心
愿他能了解我的一片真情意
虽然他不言不语不说话一句
我想要对她说:想念你
喔 想念你
(男)喝完这葡萄美酒我将要告诉你
我一片真心真意都是为了你
如果你能了解我一片真情意
就是我说的一句 "爱上你"
喔 "爱上你"
(女)这一杯葡萄美酒代表我的心
愿他能了解我的一片真情意
虽然他不言不语不说话一句
我想要对她说:想念你
喔 想念你
