[English]

Fellow believers, comrades, old friends, girlfriends, tell a joke, bid farewell

Shouted, hurt, drunk, said goodbye, let the past fade away like smoke

Come to admire the optimistic face, spreading in memories

Farewell party, with my smiling face

I love beauty most, by the end, in a dinner jacket, the most beautiful

At this funeral, it feels like going to a party, taking photos instead of monuments

Playing and joking during random encounters, leaving behind imperfect beauty

I hope you miss me, innocent childhood memories

Living a wonderful ending, don’t shed tears

Let me quietly fall asleep in the poetry class, it’s just natural

Happy party, after it’s over, no more gatherings

In the candlelight, I send blessings one after another, feeling fulfilled

If someday you feel tired, remember me from the past, so full of wit

...

Laugh at me, praise me, blame me, love me, I must thank everyone in this world

Jumped, fell, tried, missed, and kept singing through the years like a song

In the fleeting light, live as your true self, it’s not a waste of life

Forgive me for leaving you behind early, stepping away from my seat

Living a wonderful ending, don’t shed tears

Let me quietly fall asleep in the poetry class, it’s just natural

Happy party, after it’s over, no more gatherings

In the candlelight, I send blessings one after another, feeling fulfilled

If someday you feel very tired, remember my past, so witty

...

Living a wonderful ending, don’t shed tears

Let me quietly fall asleep in the poetry class, it’s just natural

Happy party, after it’s over, no more gatherings, keep me in your heart

In my new job, keep chasing and pursuing

Haven't yet picked the final bloom, don’t be discouraged

Why not linger for a year, one more year, just one year

One more year, just one year

...

[Chinese]

教友 戰友 老友 女友 說個笑話 說再見

喊了 痛了 醉了 說了再見 讓往事如煙

來瞻仰樂觀的臉 回憶裡蔓延

歡送會 有我的笑面

我最愛美 到了最尾 燕尾服 也是最美

到這葬禮 似去派對 拍照代替紀念碑

人間偶遇中嬉戲 留低缺陷美

期望你 懷念我 童言無忌

活得精彩結尾 切勿流眼淚

來讓我詩歌班裡 悄然沉睡 這是自然程序

開心的派對 散後無法聚

我於燭光裡 祝福一句句 都心滿意足

若一天你活得很累 紀念我過去 為人如此風趣

笑我 讚我 怪我 愛我 要答謝世上每個

跳過 跌過 試過 錯過 更唱活歲月如歌

浮光裡 活出真我 人不算白過

原諒我 遺下你 提前離座

活得精彩結尾 切勿流眼淚

來讓我詩歌班裡 悄然沉睡 這是自然程序

開心的派對 散後無法聚

我於燭光裡 祝福一句句 都心滿意足

若一天你活得很累 紀念我過去 為人如此風趣 風趣

活得精彩結尾 切勿流眼淚

來讓我詩歌班裡 悄然沉睡 這是自然程序

開心的派對 散後無法聚 放我於心裡

新的工作裡 一追再去追

未開出最後的花蕊 你別要氣餒

何妨留戀一歲 多一歲 一歲

多一歲 一歲
