[English]
May you go to a new world
Rest over there, casually watch a play
Perhaps you've traveled thousands of miles
Every station is full of beautiful scenery
...
Don't worry about the osmanthus at home
I'll water it for you, turn the soil again
Let the seasons change as they may
Embrace the future with a fresh start
Not home for a day, yet I don't wither
Goodbye, I cry as I say this with reddened eyes
Torn apart by the times, saying farewell feels so hard
Right now we're together, laughing and crying, joy and sorrow
Waves rise high, yet we're still together
Who will leave first tomorrow morning, before I can even sigh
Tonight, please pack these feelings away
To get through this parting
Waiting for our reunion, which will come eventually
...
Until you and I no longer are separated
In a fleeting moment, holding each other, our hair turning gray
That unfinished lesson last time
The remaining half of the chorus
Can young poetry continue?
Goodbye, don't count the time
Live to resist this world’s absurdity
Right now we're together, laughing and crying, joy and sorrow
Waves rise high, yet we're still together
Who will leave first tomorrow morning, before I can even sigh
Cherishing the beautiful moments we shared
Please live well every day, whether in peace or adventure
Stay close, see you again someday
...
We say goodbye, promising to meet again
...
We say goodbye, promising to meet again
...
We say goodbye, promising to meet again
And then we'll meet again
...
