Simple Love
(Gaan Ngoi)
Album: The Red Shoes
Track: 4
Translated by Jessie Sun

If I took the rock
and crushed it
in this action,
you will not think much of me.
It will not flatter anyone.
I don't have the words to say.
You will still miss me.
There's me at home,
but there is someone else missing.
Ah-Who-Who-Who.
I only need you with me
within a simple environment.
If I cannot love you,
who will I love?
Ah-Who-Who-Who.
Breathing until now,
you come close to me.

Without any accessories
that would match me,
who would
understand me as well as you do?
Do not tie up all the flowers before
you still remember me.
A meal has me,
but there is someone missing.
Ah-Who-Who-Who.
Do you know that person is you
that is able to make this cup of water beautiful.
I cannot love you,
then who can I love?
Ah-Who-Who-Who.
Breathing until now,
you come close to me.
Allowing me to be busy,
who do I long for?
Ah-Who-Who-Who.
I just want to hold you.
I don't need anything else but that.
I cannot love you,
then who can I love?
Ah-Who-Who-Who.
When I think of now,
you come close to me.
I cannot love you,
then who can I love?
Ah-Who-Who-Who.
Years and months past.
It allows me
to only have you.
