Mr. Vampire and his magic sound on fire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

朋友你今天就要远走
干了这杯酒
忘掉那天涯孤旅的愁
一醉到天尽头
也许你从今开始的漂流
再没有停下的时候
让我们一起举起这杯酒
干杯啊朋友

朋友你今天就要远走
干了这杯酒
天空是蔚蓝的自由
你渴望着拥有
但愿那无拘无束的日子
将不再是一种奢求
让我们再次举起这杯酒
干杯啊朋友
朋友你今天就要远走
干了这杯酒
绿绿的原野没有尽头
像儿时的眼眸
想着你还要四处去漂流
只为能被自己左右
突然间再也止不住泪流
干杯啊朋友
也许你从今开始的漂流
再没有停下的时候
让我们一起举起这杯酒
干杯啊朋友
想着你还要四处去漂流
只为能被自己左右

突然间再也止不住泪流
干杯啊朋友
