It gives me enormous pleasure to pen a foreword commemorating University Choir's Anniversary Concert.
Since its founding in 1967, University Choir, CA, HKU has provided invaluable opportunities for its members to participate in local and international competitions and performances. It is, in fact, one of the most active university choirs in Hong Kong. The Choir also organizes various local performances such as this unique Anniversary Concert to promote choral music and bring the community closer together.
Choral singing is much more than just a group of music lovers coming together. There is a range of scientifically proven benefits for the young and old alike: forging social bonds, centering the body and mind, and building confidence. Socially and culturally speaking, choral singing brings joy and elation to the audience while passing on cultures from generations to generations.
I take this opportunity to thank University Choir for preserving the traditions of the University, congratulate the Choir on its Anniversary Concert, and extend my warmest wishes for every success in the coming year.

Message from Dean of Student Affairs 學生事務長的話
I would like to send a personal message of gratitude and congratulations to University Choir on its 57th Anniversary Concert. This Anniversary Concert does not merely promote choral music to the community, but it also accomplishes a social mission by raising funds for “Variety-The Children’s Charity Hong Kong”. Indeed, this is also a moment of celebration and a reminder of the University’s founding mission: “Sapientia et Virtus”, instilling wisdom and virtues in our next generations.
As the theme of the Concert “Soulscape” fittingly describes: the beauty in nature provides a shared aesthetic experience for humankind, which reflects a deep longing for the beauty of our souls. Although the colour, vibrancy, smell, and form of flowers come and go, bright and beautiful mornings elapse for the arrival of dusk; our love and hope, dreams, belief in people, and aspirations, endure forever. I believe this is our “Soulstrength”. (正如音樂會「心景」的主題恰如其分地所描述： 自然之美為人類提供了共同的美學體驗，反映了我們 靈魂對美的深切渴望。雖然花朵的顏色、活力、氣味 和形狀來來去去，明亮美麗的早晨也會隨着黃昏的到 來而逝去；但我們的愛與希望、夢想、對人們的信仰 和渴望，永遠不會消逝。我相信這就是我們的「靈魂 力量」。)
Prof. Samson Tse
On behalf of the University, I would like to convey a very warm welcome to all audience, especially young people from “Variety” who are attending the Concert tonight. Wish you all a very enjoyable and memorable concert.

Message from Chairperson 主席的話
We, The 57th Executive Committee of the Choir, express our deepest gratitude to you for attending this Concert.
"Soulscape" is a portmanteau of "soul" and "landscape", a marriage between the inner and outer world. So often, we admire nature as a spectator and forget how it gives imagery to our emotions. You have said farewells bittersweet as the setting sun, seized hope fickle as an ember in ashes, and even marvelled at life under the starlit sky. From the soul-baring lyrics of 《花的訴說》 to the mystifying chants in The Fire Dance of Luna, the Concert’s repertoire proclaims that nature is, rather than our muse, the painter of the human soul. Nature gifts us universal imagery—flowers, trees, waters, lands, planets, stars, and more—to fathom and share the unique landscape within us. With custom projections complementing the Choir's performance, "Soulscape" translates these inner worlds into a shared multi-sensory experience.
HO Daryl 何思昊
I must thank Professor Xiang Zhang, President of HKU; Professor Samson Tse, Dean of Student Affairs; Mr. Jimmy Chan, the Choir's Honorary Advisor; our passionate members; and Executive Committees, past and present. May this Anniversary Concert propel the Choir into another year of unity and creativity.
第五十七屆幹事會為 閣下蒞臨這場音樂會深表謝意。

「心景」是「心境」和「景物」的合成詞，糅合內在與外在的世界。很多時候， 我們以旁觀者的身分欣賞大自然，卻忘了它如何為我們的情感賦予意象。你曾有 過如夕陽般苦樂參半的告別，也有過如餘燼般半明不滅的希望，也曾在浩瀚星空 下讚嘆世間萬物之美。由《花的訴說》中真情流露的歌詞至《The Fire Dance of Luna 》的幽秘贊歌，曲目擲地有聲地揭示大自然不僅是我們的靈感，更是描繪心 靈的畫家。大自然賦予我們花草樹木、尺山寸水、日月星辰等普遍的意象，來理 解和分享我們內心的獨特景觀。透過精心設計的投影襯托合唱表演，「心景」將 這些內心世界轉化為共享的多感官體驗。

O Schöne Nacht
美麗的夜
Music by Johannes Brahms;
Lyrics by Georg Friederich Daumer
約翰尼斯·布拉姆斯 曲；
喬治·弗里德里希·道默 詞
1. Rebirth 復蘇
2 . Yearning 嚮往
We stand alone in the boundless wild. As the moonlight dims and echoes ebb, true desires unveil. Whether to a lover, a home, or seclusion, let your soul take you where you long to be.
In numbing coldness, when hope is low and the sky is dark, we set eyes on the pure snow and glance up to the silvery moon. Each faithful breath instils our strength, like oxygen to flame.
當凜凜寒夜中夜色低迷，我們望 向皚皚白雪，漸漸仰視朦朧月色。
我們堅定地呼吸，每一口氧氣都 充盈着心中的火苗，凝聚成力量。

O Schöne Nacht 美麗的夜
Music by Johannes Brahms;
Lyrics by Georg Friederich Daumer 約翰尼斯·布拉姆斯 曲；喬治·弗里德里希·道默 詞
Composed in 1877, O Schöne Nacht is one of the renowned vocal pieces by Brahms. This piece borrowed its lyrics from a poem by the German poet Daumer, and orig inally used a vocal quartet composition. Now it is more often interpreted through choral settings. Under Brahms’ arrangement, the fancy texture of the piano accompaniment and the elegant melody, written with skills such as word painting and usage of both simple and compound time, allows the lyrics and melody complement each other. The small motive devel ops gradually, spreading open for us the canvas of a wonderful night.
Erglänzt der Mond in seiner ganzen Pracht; Um ihn der kleinen Sterne liebliche Genossenschaft.
Es schimmert hell der Tau am grünen Halm; mit Macht in Fliederbusche schlägt die Nachtigall; Der Knabe schleicht zu seiner Liebsten sacht—
O schöne Nacht!
O lovely night!
In the sky, magically, The moon shines in all its splendour; Around it is a pleasant company of little stars.
The dew glistens brightly on the green stem; In the lilac bush, the nightingale sings lustily; The youth steals away quietly to his love— O lovely night!
美麗的夜啊! 天空妙如童話， 皎月盡耀其美； 微星安擁而諧。
翠莖上露光渙泫； 紫丁香叢中夜鶯高歌； 少年悄然越陌至心上人—— 美麗的夜啊!
The Snow 雪
Music by Edward Elgar; Lyrics by Caroline Alice Elgar;
Arranged by John Pointer
愛德華·艾爾加 曲；卡羅琳·愛麗絲·艾爾加 詞； 約翰·波因特 編曲
The Snow is a classic by Edgar, a famous composer of English music, with its lyrics coming from a poem written by his wife Alice. Through two violins, a choral setting, and coordination with piano, this piece artistically creates a romantic atmosphere. Using the variation in tempo and mood, he delicately portrays the diverse beauty of snowflakes: from tiny dots that fall slowly and scarcely, to swirling in howling wind across the air, finally resolving to peace; the snow leaves no trace, covering the ground with a panache.
This powerful anthem was born from the tragedy at the Orlando Pulse nightclub in 2016. As voices blend in harmony, prepare to feel a profound sense of community and hope. This uplifting piece transforms sorrow into strength, commemorating resilience and awareness that we all belong to each other.
As the phoenix rises from its ashes, Sings renewal as from winded horn, Drawing deeply, filling up its lungs with breath and spirit bound again, reborn,
So, we too arise from ash and sorrow; So, we too awake from horror pain— Linking breath and spirit to each other; Linking, voice to voice, a choral chain.
Weave these threads of music into life, As chords, like strings of heaven, bind us fast.
Sing out loud the song of re-Creation! Sing we our tomorrow, not our past.
How do we arise from ash, from terror?
Cries each voice,
“We're healing as we sing.
Like the phoenix, we will rise from ashes, Linking breath to spirit— Song takes wing!"
Step into a captivating world where fierce tribal-like rhythms awaken the spirit. As you listen, feel the energy of the "children of the moon" as they dance around a raging fire, inviting you to celebrate the pulse of life. Each beat stirs emotions of wonder, transporting you to the glorious land of “Luna”.
“Song of Chile” was originally a folk song among the ancient nomadic Chile tribe. It was later structured into a choral piece with its lyrics extended by Baoqin Xue and melody composed by Zhou Liu. The bold descriptions, mellow melody, and contemporary composition brings to you the boundless prairie scenery. Gazing as far as the eyes could see, the sky meets the grass: They bow as the wind blows, and under the Yin mountain flocks and herds stroll.
心隨天地走，意被牛羊牽。
大漠的孤煙，擁抱落日圓。
在天的盡頭，與月亮聊天。
篝火映着臉，醉了套馬杆。
心隨天地走，尋找那達觀。
情緣你在哪？姑娘問着天。
在天的盡頭，與月亮把盞。
篝火映着臉，走馬敕勒川。
敕勒川，陰山下，
天似穹廬，籠蓋四野。
天蒼蒼，野茫茫，
風吹草低見牛羊。
敕勒川，陰山下，
天似穹廬，籠蓋四野。
天蒼蒼，野茫茫，
風吹草低見牛羊。
心隨天地走，意被牛羊牽。
大漠的孤煙，擁抱落日圓。
在天的盡頭，與月亮聊天。
情緣你在哪？姑娘問着天。
情緣你在哪？走馬敕勒川。
The heart follows the universe;
The mind is led by cattles and lambs.
The lonely smoke in the desert
Embraces the whole sun in dusk.
By the edge of sky we commune with the moon.
Bonfire casting a glow on our faces, We drunkenly grab lassos.
The heart follows the universe and seeks relief.
Love, where are you? A girl is asking heaven above. By the edge of the sky, we drink with the moon.
The bonfire casts a glow on faces.
In Chile Prairie we ride our horses.
In Chile Prairie, under the Yin Mountains, Covering every field like a dome, The sky is so blue and the wild is boundless.
Under the breeze the pasture bows
To reveal cattles and lambs.
In Chile Prairie, under the Yin Mountains, Covering every field like a dome, The sky is so blue and the wild is boundless. Under the breeze the pasture bows To reveal cattles and lambs.
The heart follows the universe;
The mind is led by cattle and lambs.
The lonely smoke in the desert
Embraces the whole sun in dusk
By the edge of sky we commune with the moon. Love, where are you? The girl is asking heaven above.
Love, where are you? In Chile Prairie we ride our horses.
等你到天明 Waiting for You
Until Dawn
哈薩克族民歌；瞿希賢 編曲 Kazakh folk song; Arranged by Qu Xixian
Originally a popular Kazakh folk song, the tune is further arranged by Xixian Qu into an a capella choral setting. The lyrics were rewritten by Lobin Wang, setting the scene where the Kazakh youth yearns for their love: when Sayram lake water rushes and lambs sleep, she is out of sight, leaving me lost at dusk. The dreamy atmosphere, created by simple harmonies, drifts you off to the nuances of a lover’s feelings, like the gradual change of colours in sky from dusk till dawn.
賽里木湖水在奔騰， 孤雁飛繞天空。
黃昏裡不見妳的身影， 卻飄盪著妳的歌聲。
那羊兒睡在草中， 在天邊閃爍著星星。
我的心像岸邊的孤燈， 凝望著茫茫的夜空。
美麗的姑娘啊! 從黑夜等妳到天明。
難忘那岸邊的春風， 送來花香陣陣，
和妳那清脆的歌聲， 幸福來到我的心中。
那月兒高掛在天空， 也讚美我們的愛情。
想起妳那可愛的笑容， 把我帶入了夢境。
美麗的姑娘啊! 從黑夜等妳到天明。
Sayram lake is rushing and a lone wild goose is soaring the sky. Though there is no sign of you at dusk, your voice drifts mid-air. The sheep sleeps on the fields, and the horizon glimmers with stars. My heart, like a lonely lighthouse, gazes upon the vast night sky. Fair lady! I shall wait for you from twilight till dusk.
I will never forget the spring breeze by the shore, which brings the fragrance of flowers, And your crisp singing voice, brings happiness to my heart. Even the moon, hanging high in the sky, praises our love.
Thinking of your lovely smile sends me into a dream. Fair lady! I shall wait for you from twilight till dusk.
Using the lyrics of Releasing Crane and Calling Crane in Su Shi’s same-titled prose, Chan painted the liberating spirit with his composition: the crane soars up and down in confidence, all in a sudden flaps its wings with might; along the brook echoes ring through the valley, the owner shouts for the crane to return to the east. Finally, voices blend into a slow end, revealing the lyricist’s confession of fear of political risks. The entire song flows boldly and smoothly, inviting you to release your authentic self in the empty field.
鶴飛去兮，西山之缺， 高翔而下覽兮擇所適。
翻然斂翼，宛將集兮， 忽何所見，矯然而復擊。
獨終日於澗谷之間兮， 啄蒼苔而履白石。
鶴歸來兮，東山之陰。
其下有人兮，黃冠草屨， 葛衣而鼓琴。
躬耕而食兮，
其餘以汝飽。
歸來歸來兮， 西山不可以久留。
Away! Away! My birds, fly westwards now To wheel on high and gaze on all below, To swoop together, pinions closed, to earth; To soar aloft once more among the clouds, To wander all day long in sedgy vale; To gather duckweed in the stony marsh.
Come back! Come back!
Beneath the lengthening shades, Your serge-clad master stands, Guitar in hand.
‘Tis he that feeds you from his slender store: Come back! Come back! Nor linger in the west.
Translation by Herbert A. Giles
Fields of Gold
金燦田野
Music and Lyrics by Sting; Arranged by Greg Jasperse
史汀 曲詞；格雷格·賈斯珀斯 編曲
This wistful love story takes place in sun-kissed meadows where warmth and nostalgia intertwine. Allow the entrancing melody to embrace you like a cherished memory, with bonds strengthened by the comforting cycle of the seasons. The gentle serenity reminds you to savour moments of beauty and simplicity.
See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley. Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold.
I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken. But I swear in the days still left, We'll walk in fields of gold. We'll walk in fields of gold.
Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley. See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold.
You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley. You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of gold.
Music by Zane Randall Stroope; Lyrics by Luis de León
讚恩·蘭德爾·斯特魯普 曲；路易斯·德·雷昂 詞
Ignite your imagination to a realm where beauty and desolation coexist under a starlit sky. Through the haunting melody, look down to earth from above and observe a world in chaos as it invokes deep reflection of the fragile state of humanity, contrasting the vastness of heaven with the strife of existence.
Cuando contemplo el cielo De innumerables luces adornado, y miro hacia el suelo de noche rodeado, en sueño y en olvido sepultado; el amor y la pena despiertan en mi pecho un ansia ardiente; despiden larga vena los ojos hechos fuente; Loarte y digo al fin con voz doliente
Morada de grandeza, templo de claridad y hermosura: mi alma que a tu alteza nació, Lo que es, lo que será, Lo que es pasado? Noche Serena.
When I contemplate heaven
Of countless stars adorned, and look toward the ground surrounded by night in dream and buried in oblivion;
Love and longing awake the passion in my soul; the eyes like founts beyond control, Loarte and I finally say with a painful voice,
Dwelling place of greatness, I realise I am in a temple of brightness and beauty
My soul that to your highness was born, What it is, what it shall be, And all that was?
Remember we sang the same song when wind blew by, Encouraging me to devote every song to seek the fire, Though exhausted, confidence grew and all bonds’ free, only if you are settling in peace.
We're going through a life of bitterness and sweetness, of tears and laughters With you we share the winds and waves, our love grows. We share every moment, get closer with each other, and run to the steadfast dwelling.
Love is sufferance, love is kindness, not complaint; Fear not, anger not. I owe you my feeling after when, this tiny place will boost Love does not boast, it is not proud; love is humble. Think not my own good, and love is eternal.
We're joining hands through a life of bitterness and sweetness. Love is patient, not fear.
The flower of love we sow fears no storm. With a shelter, we fear no hail and downpour. Together we build this home, clear the weeds. Plant love in every season.
Plough the ground, irrigate, Chatter abound, appreciate. The flower of love.
歌詞英譯 English translation of lyrics： 陳蘊明、胡銘堯 Monica Chan, Dennis Wu
Inspired by the timeless symbolism of rainbows, the promise of brighter days ahead evokes a sense of peace and renewed spirit. Feel a wave of positivity wash over you as you open your heart to endless possibilities, giving you the strength to overcome challenges.
下雨天 天空卻是彩虹
入了冬 身軀卻並不冰凍
每日來去匆匆
不要怒氣沖沖
信任彩虹
雨後總有清風
在我心 秋冬與夏相同
鬧市中 春風會讓花飄送
每日來去匆匆
不要怒氣沖沖
這份感動
會蕩入你心中 （會進入你心中）
On a rainy day, there’s a rainbow in the sky
In the winter, my lying body does not feel frozen
Everyday comes by in a hurry
Don’t feel full of resentment
Trust in the rainbow
After the rain, comes a light breeze
In my heart, autumn, winter, and summer are alike
In the city, the spring winds drift the flowers along Everyday comes by in a hurry
Don’t feel full of resentment
This moving sensation
Will sway into your heart (will enter your heart)
像片風 風飄送
希冀隨旋律舞動
信任彩虹 懂不懂？
困惱仍面露笑容
像片風 風飄送
這約銘記於心中
這道彩虹
給我力氣尋夢
在我心 秋冬與夏相同
鬧市中 春風會讓花飄送
（風會讓花飄送隨風）
每日來去匆匆
（感到身心過重）
不要怒氣沖沖
這份感動
會蕩入你心中 （會進入你心中）
像片風 風飄送
希冀隨旋律舞動
信任彩虹 懂不懂？
（問你懂不懂？）
困惱仍面露笑容
像片風 風飄送
這約銘記於心中
（一切亦記心中）
這道彩虹
給我力氣

Like a wind—the wind blows
Hope sways along to the melody
Do you know to trust in the rainbow?
Keep smiling through the troubles
Like a wind—the wind blows
This vow engraved in my heart
This rainbow
Gives me the strength to dream
In my heart, autumn, winter, and summer are alike In the city, the spring winds drift the flowers along (the wind sends the drifting flowers)
Everyday comes by in a hurry (feeling a heavy mind)
Don’t feel full of resentment
This moving sensation
Will sway into your heart (will enter your heart)
Like a wind—the wind blows
Hope sways along to the melody
Do you know to trust in the rainbow?
(asking if you know?)
Keep smiling through the troubles
Like a wind—the wind blows
This vow engraved in my heart
(remembering all this in my heart)

雛菊 Daisy
鮑文煒 詞 Lyrics by Bao Wenwei
第一樂章《雛菊》利用非傳統的演唱技法，寫意地勾勒出回憶中的藍天與流雲。
The first movement “Daisy” utilises unconventional vocal techniques, painting the sapphire sky and flowing clouds captured in memories.
漫山遍野，風吹遠了雲， 而你很近。
雲朵飄盪，清澈湛藍天空， 而你很遠。
燕尾尖尖，
把春光剪成三片，
Over hills and fields, the breeze blows away the clouds, And you are near.
The clouds swirls in the clear blue sky, And you are distant.
送一片給風，送一片給雲。
風，吹化冬雪，
送一片給雲，投在湖面。
The tail of the sparrow delicately cuts spring’s splendour into three,
留一片給我，種在心底沉默。
像風，吹你頭髮， 像雲，映你眼波。
One piece goes to the wind, one piece goes to the clouds. Wind, it melts winter snow, which lands on the lake.
Keep one piece for me, to sow in my heart in silence. Like wind, that lifts your hair; Like cloud, that diffuses your gaze.
茉莉 Jasmine
李皓 詞 Lyrics by Li Hao
第二樂章《茉莉》歌詞靈感來源於泰戈爾《新月集》中的詩作 The First Jasmine。 原詩的清新氣質使詩人對少年時光的回憶顯得美好而純粹。
The second movement “Jasmine” has its lyrics inspired by the first poem collected in “The Crescent Moon” by Rabindranath Tagore: The First Jasmine. The refreshening essence of the poem highlights how lovely and pure those memories of childhood are to the poet.
記得初次捧起雪白花瓣， 記得曾愛陽光、青草藍天。
記得依偎寂靜午夜， 能聽見溪水淙淙呢喃。
蔓草叢生的小徑之上， 秋日是揭開面紗的新娘。
細碎的回憶忽然漫上心頭， 手心的茉莉依然綻放芬芳。
Remember when I first stroke a white petal, When I loved sunlight, pastures and blue skies. Remember nestling at silent midnights, hearing the river mumble.
Upon the trail with bushes overgrown, The autumn day is a bride unveiling her face. Specks of memory pervade my heart at oncee, yet the jasmine in my palm remains fragrant.
多少個夜晚我們一同縱聲歡笑， 清晨細雨中我們唱過許多歌謠。
記憶中的花海已不見踪影， 唯有茉莉。
潔白的茉莉，帶我回到從前。
These jasmines, these white jasmines.
多少個夜晚我們一同縱聲歡笑，
清晨細雨中我們唱過許多歌謠。
記憶中的花海已不見踪影， 唯有茉莉。
潔白的茉莉，帶我回到從前。
回到那，回到那清香的 一天又一天。
記得初次捧起雪白花瓣， 記得曾愛陽光、青草藍天。
So many nights we bursted with joy together. Amid morning rains we sang tunes and songs. The sea of flowers in my mind has disappeared, yet jasmine remains.
Pure jasmine, bring me back to the past.
These jasmines, these white jasmines.
So many nights we bursted with joy together. Amid morning rains we sang tunes and songs. The sea of flowers in my mind has disappeared, yet jasmine remains.
Pure jasmine, bring me back to the past.
Back to that clean fragrance, lingering day after day.
Remember when I first stroke a white petal, When I loved sunlight, pastures and blue skies.
The third movement “Rose” borrows the story of an aged Scottish folk song — a captain brought his fiancée on board to get wedded, only to be met by a tempest. The fiancée survived alone. With endless agony she wrote a threnody, before dying a few months later.
只有一隻鳥兒在山谷悲鳴， 只有一朵殘花在枝頭衰敗。
我把落花葬於溪畔， 你把自已留在大海。
海草是你的床， 海砂是你的枕， 海底的魚是你的燈， 海中的獸守你的門。
夏日最後一朵玫瑰 還在孤獨地開放， 所有她可愛的伴侶 都已凋謝死亡。
葬你於濁浪深海， 留我在人間衰敗。
再也沒有一朵鮮花 陪伴在她的身旁， 映照她緋紅的臉龐， 和她一同嘆息。
Only one bird’s left in the valley to mourn in anguish, Only one sallow blossom remains on the tip of the branch to rot.
I bury the fallen petals at the riverbank, You leave yourself behind in the ocean.
The seagrass’ your bed, the sand’s your pillow. Fish will be your lights, creatures will guide your door.
“Tis the last rose of summer left blooming all alone, All her lovely companions are faded and gone.”
I bury you in turbid waves among the deep sea, You leave me to rot on earth.
Not one more fresh flower to keep her company, To compliment her rosy cheeks, To sigh with her.
The fourth movement “Dandelion” conveys this message: the dandelion seems to be of freedom, that it can drift off to anywhere airily. Yet it does not get to choose its fate and direction, nor can it choose where, with whom, how long it should stay. And it comes a moment after it departs, that it realises: it can never go back to the start.
飛，輕輕飛，
風吹我過這座山， 風吹我過這片水。
Fly, fly lightly,
The wind sends me across this hill, The wind sends me across these streams.
飛，慢慢飛， 這座山這片水， 不知何時歸。
飛，輕輕飛，
看不清點點燈火， 只聽見潺潺溪水。
飛，慢慢飛，
靜夜裏人安睡，
有誰伴我飛？
忽然風停，我飄落你身旁。
多想長留此處， 結束漫漫旅途。
無奈風再起， 帶我離開大地， 飛向未知方向。
飛，自在飛， 白雲在腳下來回， 清風是我的翅膀。
飛，隨風飛，
漸行漸遠飛揚， 那座山那片水， 只有在夢裏回。
漸行漸遠， 只有夢裏回。
Fly, fly slowly,
Across this landscape of hills and streams, For the time of return is unknown.
Fly, fly lightly,
The scattered lights are too blurry to be seen, Only the babbling brook is heard.
Fly, fly slowly, Everyone’s sleeping in the peaceful night, Who’s there to fly with me?
Suddenly the wind stops, I descend next to you. How I wish I could reside here, to end my unending journey. Against my will the wind continues, lifts me off the ground, and drifts to the unknown.
Fly, fly freely,
Under my feet white clouds swirl, the refreshing breeze is my wings.
Fly, fly with the wind, Slowly I grow further away, That landscape of hills and streams Can only be returned to in dreams. Slowly growing further away, only returning in dreams.
