我想要一隻大象 你卻給我一隻貓

I want an elephant, yet you gave me a cat
我想要一把cello 你卻給我piccolo

You’re merely but a bear wearing spectacles,
而且你的眼鏡度數還不夠

Your love turns into a lock, I turn to stone
什麼都不會說 什麼都不能說

As a side note, I am not the most confident in my translating ability. If there is any mistake, I apologize for that.
I don't care if the translation is used for anything else, just don't claim it's your own.
I would've done the Chinese version of the lyrics in simplified characters, because that's what I can read fluently, but I felt lazy and didn't want to type out the whole set of lyrics in simplified. The traditional lyrics are taken from mojim.com. The translation and pinyin lyrics are my own.
