If I love you --I will never be a trumpet creeperClinging to your body to highlight my height我如果爱你——绝不像攀援的凌霄
花借你的高枝炫耀自己
If I love you --I will never be a spoony birdRepeating the monotonous song for a green shade 我如果爱你——绝不学痴情的鸟儿为绿荫重复单调的歌曲
Nor a springThat brings perennial cool solaceNor steep peakThat increases your highness, reflect your eminenceEven the sunlightEven the spring rainNo, all these are not sufficient也不止像泉源常年送来清凉的慰藉也不止像险峰增加你的高度，衬托你的威仪甚至日光甚至春雨不，这些都还不够
I must be a ceiba stand by your sideA treeWith roots clinched undergroundAnd leaves touched in the cloudWe nod to each otherWhen each gust passes byBut nobodyCan understand our words我必须是你近旁的一株木棉 作为树的形象和你站在一起根，紧握在地下叶，相触在云里每一阵风过我们都互相致意但没有人听懂我们的言语
You have your iron bodyLike a knife, a sword, as well as a halberdI have my red flowersLike a heavy sighAnd a valiant torchWe share cold, storms and thundersWe enjoy brume, mist and neonsSeems we are part alwaysBut we are together forever你有你的铜枝铁干像刀、像剑，也像戟我有我的红硕花朵像沉重的叹息又像英勇的火炬我们分担寒潮、风雷、霹雳我们共享雾霭、流岚、虹霓仿佛永远分离却又终身相依
Only this can be called a great loveThe loyalty is thisNot only your manful body I love
But also the place you hold, and the land under your foot这才是伟大的爱情坚贞就在这里爱——不仅爱你伟岸的身躯也爱你坚持的位置，足下的土地
