Lionel Richie 《Hello》中英文歌词：
I've been alone with you inside my mind
在我心里只有我俩独处
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
梦中我已吻你千百次
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
有时见你从我的门前走过
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
你好,你在寻找我吗
I can see it in your eyes. I can see it in your smile
在你眼睛里，笑容里
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
我看到你是我一直寻找的人，我张开双臂
'Cause you know just what to say. And you know just what to do
因为你知道该说些什么，做些什么
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...
多么想告诉你,我爱你....
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
渴望见到你发丝中的阳光
And tell you time and time again how much I care
多少次告诉你我多么焦虑
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
有时我感到自己的心快要跳出来
Hello, I've just got to let you know
你好,我只想让你知道
'Cause I wonder where you are. And I wonder what you do
因为我想知道你身在何处，做些什么
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
你是否感到孤独或者有其他的人在爱着你
Tell me how to win your heart
告诉我怎样得到你的心
For I haven't got a clue
我不知所措
But let me start by saying, I love you ...
但是请让我从告诉你我爱你开始.....
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
你好,你在寻找我吗
'Cause I wonder where you are. And I wonder what you do
因为我想知道你身在何处，做些什么
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
你是否感到孤独或者有其他的人在爱着你
Tell me how to win your heart
告诉我怎样得到你的心
For I haven't got a clue
我不知所措
But let me start by saying ... I love you
