by Li Bai:
In this world of men and women,
How few understand each other's hearts.
We may grow as friends for ten years,
But we might still become strangers in the end.
After a farewell song between two friends,
For what is said will never be forgotten;
Though they may part,
Their bonds endure in their hearts,
The years pass and age moves on,
And the earth spins in its course.
But the friends in their minds and hearts,
Always the same of times past,
Where they were together as friends.
After this farewell song of friends,
For what has been said will never be forgotten; Their memories and the bond they shared Will live on forever in their hearts.
