about

I still remember the perfume of my first crush.

lyrics

Lemony-yellow
Flower of the flowers
reminds me when I clambered
to the top of your tower.

Woody and radiant
plum-like fruits in fall
seeped through my clothing
as I longed to be yours.

Ylang ylang
even after all these years
you take me to that place.

Woody and radiant
plum-like fruits in fall.
Your fragrance still haunts me
even ten years on.

Ylang ylang
even after all these years
you take me to that place.
Ylang ylang
even after all these years
you take me to that place.

(in Cantonese)
Every time I smell this perfume
I think about myself ten years ago,
staring at you, wide eyed and teary.
I think even when I'm 100 years old
I won't forget your scent.
