一位姑娘笑着喊着我的名字刘健  I heard a laughing girl call out my name- "Liu Jian."
当我羞涩地走到她迷人的身边  I shyly approached this charming girl
她大吃一惊说你也叫刘健  But she, rather surprised, said, "Oh, your name is Liu Jian too?"
这时一个男人拿着可乐走了过来  Just then, a guy carrying bottles of Coca-Cola walked up to her
我慌了我傻了狼狈不堪抱头鼠窜   Feeling stupid, I ran off like a scaredy cat.
回到家我想啊也许我们更有缘  At home I thought to myself, maybe we were really meant to be together.
那一夜我怎么都不能闭上眼  That night I couldn't close my eyes.
我为何失眠  Why couldn't I sleep?
谁给我答案  Who could give me an answer?
天亮了我搭车又去英雄纪念碑前  When the sun rose, I took the bus back to the Monument to the People's Heroes
我多么希望能再次看见她的笑脸  Hoping I'd catch another glimpse of her smile.
我特意去买了两大瓶可口可乐  I made sure to buy two big bottles of Coke,
我想比那个刘健更讨她开心喜欢  I knew I could make her happier than that other Liu Jian.
从上午到下午再到太阳落进西山  I waited until the sun dropped behind the Western Hills
迷人的姑娘她还是一直没有出现  But the enchanting girl never appeared again.
天黑了我失落孤独地回到家里  As the sky turned dark, I dejectedly returned home alone
那一夜我又是看着星星到它看不见  I watched the stars again until they were no more
我为何失眠  Why couldn't I sleep?
谁我给答案  Who could give me an answer?
我觉得这一切都是冲动   Maybe this was lust

可我却是把她想了一遍又一遍  But I couldn't get her out of my head.
我觉得这一切像是初恋   Maybe this was first love
没齿难忘任凭岁月无情地变迁   I'll remember her all my life.
按理说初恋总得有个吻吧  First love should have a first kiss
可我却是和她连手都没有牵  But I didn't even hold her hand.
我觉得这一切像是暗恋  Maybe this was a secret crush
爱她啊但我却是敢爱不敢言  Love her but I didn't dare to speak out.
暗恋一般都会有所企图期盼  A crush should have anticipation
可我对她只有纯洁纯朴纯粹的想念  But I just miss the memory of her.
我觉得是我的脑子有问题  Maybe my brain is messed up
有问题我怎能写下这首歌曲  But if I'm crazy how could I write this song?
这一切到底是因为什么   What is this all for?
前前后后翻来覆去我想了很多年   For years I thought about it,
有一天我在路边看到一群孩子  Until one day I passed a group of kids
争论着我儿时曾经争论的话题  Debating the same stuff I did when I was a kid.
那瞬间我忽然茅塞顿开  In the blink of an eye I realized
这一切就像是他们的争论  It was just like their debate:
到底是先有的鸡   Which came first,
还是先有的蛋  the chicken or the egg?
