[English]

The earth's arrival draws near

Like a newborn's cry

The only surviving secret

A perfect body

Gradually withering icicles

Erase hope more completely

But I can speak, yet cannot speak

I can act, yet cannot act

Ignorant, shameless, fearless, bold

No joy, no anger, no worry, no delight

No thought, no desire, no envy, no self

I first came to this world because I had to

In the end, choosing to leave is freedom in full bloom

It's best to sing and smile through life's bitterness

If only there were one more moment

Climb a high mountain peak, seek a familiar soul

Descend a valley slope, find a companion

Build a camp, water flows long

The road is too rough, hard to walk

Hardly managed to take root, life is too short

I first came to this world because I had to

In the end, choosing to leave is freedom in full bloom

It's best to sing and smile through life's bitterness

If only there were one more moment

The flower blooms through the ice

Waiting for the soul to return afar

Passing through this desolate world, it’s hard to grow

[Chinese]

靠近土地的降临

像新生哭啼

唯一幸存的秘密

完美的肢体

渐渐枯萎的冰凌

抹除希望更彻底

可我能说不能说

我能做不能做

无知无耻无惧无畏

无喜无怒无忧无乐

无思无念无妒无我

最初来这世界是不得不来

最终选择离开是自由盛开

最好唱着笑着穿梭人间苦涩

如果再多一刻

登一个高山巅 寻一个身谚

下一个坡坡涧 找一个伴谚

扎个寨子 水也长嘞

路太抖嘞 不好走嘞

好不容易栽活嘞 命太短嘞

最初来这世界是不得不来

最终选择离开是自由盛开

最好唱着笑着穿梭人间苦涩

如果再多一刻

花儿破冰而生

等魂归远方

路过人间太荒凉 难生长
