歡顏 [Huān yán] [English translation]

Drifting down faint melancholy.

A trace of memories.

It is like fantasy, like dreams, and like realness.

Gently pluck the strings and croon.

That is a song, la la la …

Drifting down coldness and quietness.

Ten thousand threads of reminisce.

It is like fantasy, like dreams, like realness.

Gently pluck the strings and croon.

That is a song, la la la …

As long as you lightly smile.

My heart right away will be intoxicated.

Only your joyous countenance and laughing words.

Accompany me on the endlessly long road, so that I have somewhat to rely on.

Spring rains, autumn frost, passing of time is ruthless.

Sea turned dry and stone got rotten, and the shape of appearance became untraceable.

Only your joyous countenance and laughing words.

Accompany me on the endlessly long road, so that I have somewhat to rely on.

la la la …
