Lyrics in Chinese
Translated by Xiao Zhang with lyrics by Li Qinghui.
Tiny teenager, seldom troubled.
Looking around, the sun shines.
Little boy, little trouble.
I wish it could be like this forever.
One year at a time.
The little boy is growing taller.
As the years went from small to large.
His worries increased.
The tiny teenager is rarely troubled.
Carefree and happy.
But one day a storm arose.
Worries and worries arrived.
A year by year time flew.
Tiny teenagers were growing taller.
As the years go from small to large.
His worries increased.
