Being born, I surely must be useful,
making sure not to pick on the young and poor
By failing I still flaunt as a hero,
unafraid of being laughed at by people thinking I'm crazy
A hero will not mention his bravery during those years,
but only wants to ask if you understand,
in love and hate we pretend to be calm,
but who can truly relax?
The world is empty,
that is appearances are meaningless
One's eyes see everywhere has beautiful women
Drunk lying in a flowery shrub,
laughing with heartache,
who will come with me
to share a deep feeling of loving embrace?
For you my heart moves,
for you I sing,
a verse of an uplifting song
that tells my heart's innermost feelings
There will come a period of turbulence,
a period of time to straighten thoughts
Human life is just an episode of a good dream
