"Farewell My Friend"
The song was originally sung by Hailai Amu, A Gluttony Lagoo, and Qubi Achan
Lyrics: Hailai Amu
Songwriter: Hailai Amu
The moon hangs in the sky coldly, and it also knows that tomorrow
will be a farewell, so let's raise the fire
Sing a song and dance
While talking about our life's sorrows and joys with wine, we will not be so tender, my friend.
Take advantage of the wine to talk about the sorrows and joys of this life
The moon, don't be tender, my friend, don't be sentimental
Yesterday is over, all the sadness and worries are gone
You have to believe that the sky will be more blue tomorrow
Yesterday is over, all the sadness and worries are gone
You have to believe that the sky will be more blue tomorrow
The sky will be more blue tomorrow
We know that tomorrow
is a farewell, and we have built up a fire, and we are singing songs, and we are dancing.
