這是一首敘述在四月春天時談戀愛的歌。在四月份戀愛使一切似乎都變得美好起來。但歌者提醒說四月的愛有時候是稍縱即逝的。因此如果你(妳)確定她(他)就是你(妳)所要的愛人，那就不要輕易讓她(他)溜走。

英文歌詞

April love is for the very young. Every stars a wishing star that shines for you. April love is all the seven wonders. One little kiss can tell you this is true.

*Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers, rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet. But April love can slip right through your fingers, so if she is the one, dont let her run away. (Repeat*)

歌詞翻譯

四月的愛是給年輕人談的戀愛。每顆星星都是為你閃耀的許愿星。四月的愛就像所有七大奇景那樣不可思議。輕輕的一個吻就能告訴你此話不假。

有時候四月天會突然下起陣雨，雨水滋長花朵，男孩子就收集花朵做成第一束花送給女孩子。但四月的愛可能會從你的指縫間溜走。因此，如果她就是你所愛的人，不要讓她跑掉。
