The magical counter-clockwise clock transports me back to the past
I gaze with wonderment at the King of Mandopop being born with a grand piano, his nimble fingers dancing on its black and white keys
The coruscant golden armor
The circumambient enchanting melody
The eight dimensions are so enthralling that I find it hard to speak
Every moment is always the era
No matter how split I am
You are always the train's destination
The incomparable virtuosity and feat
I ride all the way north to rejoice in the sheer music-cum-magic spectacle
Your fantasy is olamic
How could one resist the canorous beauty of Opus 12?
All you create are undoubtedly the greatest works of art
From old Shanghai to modern Istanbul, from the Coral Sea to the 'Pink Ocean'
Any biont is obliged to step aside in your territory
The bucolic view of rice and terrace fields on a sunny day
Hearkens back to class 3-2, where I excitedly savor Grandpa's tea and Turkish ice cream
Then I am reminded of how sweet your smile is
Of how I do not care whether or not it is the end of the world
Making a love confession has never been this easy
The hair-raising atmosphere of William Castle
Does not deter the fearless dragon rider
Dashing through the formidable tornado as fast as the four seasons train
With a pair of steel nunchucks on his back and a razor-sharp double blade at his side
Hero Chou proves not to be a coward in the slightest, slaying half-beast humans without a step back
Silence
The time machine has obviously come to a halt
Soon afterwards I can hear the rhythm of the rain and the occasional drop of maple leaves
Is it time for a lulling bedtime story?
I flip my romantic handphone open and read the ataraxic handwritten past in my diary of love
In Chapter Seven, I fall abysmally into a dream
Thereupon, I find myself under a fun fair rainbow, thanking Yeh Hui Mei profusely in one breath
No sooner has it concluded than Jay utters from far away, "Long time no see!"
I say I won't cry but tears of scattered emotion instantly stream down my face
Please do not say goodbye, but give me the time of one song, and I will turn it into the longest movie
