A little while when I am gone

Language: English

Our translations: CHI

A little while when I am gone
My life will live in music after me,
As spun foam lifted and borne on
After the wave is lost in the full sea.
A while these nights and days will burn
In song with the bright frailty of foam,
Living in light before they turn
Back to the nothingness that is their home.

走后的短暂时间/ 我会生活在我的音乐里，

Language: Chinese (中文) after the English

走后的短暂时间
我会生活在我的音乐里，
泡沫升腾又再现
当海浪在茫茫海里消失。
歌曲带着泡沫微光
片刻将把日日夜夜点燃，
光明中的生活走向
寂灭啊，正是他们的家园。
