Dunzhe Ling
Snow-
You come quietly
Go quietly again
I'm you
You are me.
Perhaps silence is really a farewell party.
Only the wind is the protagonist behind the scenes.
Get down, get down.
I give you all the peace tonight.
It's like giving it to yourself
Every snowflake
Like crystal tears.
Slip away from my eyes
Seeing such a peaceful world
If you have been here, you won't have resentment and hatred.
Quiet is really a farewell flute.
Get down, get down.
Get down, get down.
I just stand by you quietly.
together with you
fail
Blend into the soil
vanish like smoke and disperse like clouds—completely vanish
Never leave anything dirty to the world.
