yun願yat一sang生yi以go歌tau投yap入mui每tin天wing永bat不bin變who wanted to give his whole life to song, every day, never changing.

yam任gau舊yat日lou路seung上fung風sing聲cheui取siu笑ngo我Let the wind on the old road laugh at me;

yam任gau舊yat日maan萬nim念keui俱fui灰ya也ging經gwo過I've lived through days of utter despair too.

ngo我jeui最oi愛dik的go歌jeui最hau後jung總syun算cheung唱gwo過The songs I love most, I've sung at last.

mou無yung用joi再jang爭cheui取gang更do多No need to strive for more.

fung風joi再hei起si時mak默mak默dei地je這sam心bat不joi再gai計gaau較yu與ban奔chi馳When the wind rises again, my heart quietly stops counting the cost and racing on.

ngo我jung縱yiu要yi依yi依daai帶leui淚gwai歸heui去ya也yun願yi意Even if I must go home reluctantly, in tears, I'm willing.

jan珍gwai貴seui歲yut月leui裡cham尋mik覓ngo我sam心jung中dik的si詩Through the precious years I searched for the poem in my heart.
