Oh... my!
For my friends to laugh, for my loved ones to enjoy,
for these swan-like beauties to rejoice, for my thoughts to blossom,

My entire life became a comedy,
and one day, even my laughter turned into tears!
Tears of joy, haha... hahahaha!
My entire life became a comedy,
and one day, even my laughter turned into tears!
Things did not turn out as I imagined,
and all that happened was not real.
Things did not turn out as I imagined,
and all that happened was not real.
Even when I wept,
the world claimed it was only laughter!
A new day was born,
and on that day, I was born, hey hey hey!
A thousand dreams fill one's youth,
dreams that bring joyful memories.
Memories here go in search of love and bonding,
and a true bond brings contentment to the soul.

Her lips are dewy flowers, her face is like the moon,
Ah...
her lips are dewy flowers, her face is like the moon!
In a sea swelling under the gentle moonlight,
can there be any fish that does not leap with joy?
A wonderful day was born,
and on that day, I was born,
Aaha hey hey hey!
If life is indeed a stage play,
all that unfolds are simply scenes.
Everything that appears across those scenes
is the pride and glory of the artists.
If life is indeed a stage play,
all that unfolds are simply scenes.
Everything that appears across those scenes
is the pride and glory of the artists.
The true value of art cannot be weighed in material price,
the true value of art cannot be weighed in material price!
Appreciative hearts will always shower
their priceless, golden blessings!
A wonderful day was born,
and on that day, I was born, hey hey hey!
For my friends to laugh, for my loved ones to enjoy,
for these swan-like beauties to rejoice, for my thoughts to blossom,
