I take the advice I find in your eyes.

Most of my life,

Oh like a rare b-side.

I'm just making you mixtapes with homemade covers.
为你作杂盘音带，用自制的封面
Analog to show we're lovers,

And here under the jacket folds inside,
这儿，在封皮的里面，
I've taped my heart for you to find.

To find the perfect way,

Which album to say,
用那些歌儿倾吐，
I la la love you.
我对你的爱恋。
With this plastic cassette,
这塑料的卡带，
It's not finished yet,
它还没结束，
It's gonna tell you slowly.
一曲曲倾诉, 缓缓绵绵。
I'm just making you mixtapes with homemade covers.
为你作杂盘音带，用自制的封面
Strings and drawings show we're lovers,

To hear again, just press rewind.
想再次倾听，就按下倒回键。
Rewind, it comes to an end,

Turns over again,
翻转，
Another 1000 times.
千千遍。
But me, I'll be the same.
而我，还将是我，
No, I never change,
不会改变，
Oh, like a rare B-side.

Mazzy Star, Donovan's Colors,

I spent all day making for you.
为你写了又写，一整天。
