Comb gently to awaken your slept deeply soul, Softly opened your eyes
Have a look of the busy world, see if it is still turning around lonely by itself
Spring breeze doesn’t sense the romance
Breeze charmed heart of the Youth
Yesterday’s face with tear drops sign
All dried by fading memories
Looking for wings in far high sky
Wings was traced on migrant birds
They brings news starvation in distance,
Coldness fight and battle still remain
Giant Mountain in lonesome snowing
Young youth in his flaming heart
Mold the heartily into rhythm
Echo our wishes for those in distance
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQKbmUmC9k
Sing all your heart with wide spread your arms
I will embrace your dream
I will embrace your truly face
With proud of your youth, fill full our smile
We pray with our whole heart for a better tomorrow,
(We pray for our better tomorrow)

Who else could leave behind his home land, leave behind his childish memories
Who else could stay along with the yesterday sadness, take along our smiles
Youth would never understand romance, Rouge contaminate by dirt
The long waited tears, wet and moist your dried face
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9srMZNcF03
Comb gently to awaken your slept deeply soul, Softly opened your eyes
Have a look of the busy world, see if it is still turning around lonely by itself
Rising Sun awaken morning, our earth re-born by the shine.
Sound by the waving breeze, composed the Life rhythm
Sing all your heart with wide spread your arms
I will embrace your dream
I will embrace your truly face
With proud of your youth, fill full our smile
We pray with our whole heart for a better tomorrow,
(We pray for our better tomorrow)

Note: 1
I am not sure if there is a wording or imply in english “Give Face”. In Chinese, we have a wording coming from gangster world. While the boss of Gangster A respect other and stop himself from doing some of his original intention. This stop and respect, we call it “Give Face”. And we normal people starting using it common, whenever we persuaded and stopped ourself by other on doing something, we always said we “Give Face” for this grant.
