[Verse]
No one will give a second thought to a kind face. Human hearts are fickle, only interests matter. A good heart with nothing to offer can bring a little warmth. Reality is like a beach; leaving no footprints counts.
[Chorus]
Display your values, and they all come. The exchange of interests is a sea of favors. Only by improving yourself can you gain close friends. Friends all over the world are the notes of your transactions.
[Verse 2]
Relationships are like a chess game; interests are hidden within. The secret of friendship is shared interests. A kind smile is less valuable than the play of strength. Amidst the warmth and coldness of human relationships, who cares?
[Chorus]
Display your values, and they all come. The exchange of interests is a sea of favors. Only by improving yourself can you gain close friends. Friends all over the world are the notes of your transactions.
[Bridge]
A transaction, amidst the worldly customs. Only when equal value is paid does the exchange have meaning. Sincerity is merely the prelude; value is the melody. Within human nature, the dance of interests unfolds.
[Chorus]
Display your values, and they all come. The exchange of interests is a sea of favors. Only by improving yourself can you gain close friends. Friends all over the world are the notes of your transactions. It's a sea of human affection. Only by improving yourself can you gain a true friend. Friends all over the world are all notes of transactions.
[verse]
Drinking old wine, making new wine
Laughter rises beside the old clay pot
Monks and old men sing in unison
Trading chickens and geese brings endless joy
[pre-chorus]
Putting away thoughts and locking away makeup
Escape from the turmoil of the world
Who will visit me in my dreams at midnight?
Fame and fortune fade away, and my heart is at peace
[chorus]
From farming in the south, I sleep in the eastern hills
Seeing through the ways of the world and human nature
Reflecting on the past in my spare time
Why should the wise and the foolish argue about right and wrong?
So blissful
[verse]
Drinking old wine, making new wine fragrant
Old friends gather and chat
Time flows slowly in the mountains
Chickens and geese get drunk together by the setting sun
[pre-chorus]
Putting away thoughts and locking away desires
Away from the hustle and bustle, and my heart is at peace
Awakening in the middle of the night, the moon fills the window
Long dreams in my cozy nest
[chorus]
From farming in the south, I sleep in the eastern hills
Seeing through the ways of the world and human nature
Reflecting on the past in my spare time
Why should the wise and the foolish argue about right and wrong?
So blissful
[verse]
Walk when you want, walk with ease. Sit when you want, sit quietly. When thirsty, drink from the gurgling mountain springs. When hungry, eat some bright red wild fruits.
[verse]
Drunk, sing ancient mountain songs. When tired, lie down on the grass or hillside. The days are long, the sky is vast. How blissful such days are.
[pre-chorus]
We sit together, drinking old and new wines. He offers pheasants, I offer fat geese. My mind is no longer wandering.
[chorus]
Leaving behind the worldly pursuits of fame and fortune. Returning to my home. How blissful are the days of leisure. I have awakened from my dream.
[ve [rse]
Morning stroll by the gurgling stream
Afternoon nap, shadows of trees shimmer
Evening glow fills the sky, smoke from cooking fires lingers
How simple life is
[pre-chorus]
Sitting around, drinking old and new wines
He offers pheasants, I offer goose
My mind no longer wanders
[chorus]
Leaving behind the hustle and bustle of fame and fortune
Returning to my home
How blissful are my leisure days
Awakening from a dream
[break]
[chorus]
Leaving behind the hustle and bustle of fame and fortune
Returning to my home
How blissful are my leisure days
Awakening from a dream
[Verse]
Walk with peace of mind, sit with peace of mind
Drink when thirsty, eat when hungry, sing when drunk
Lie when tired, the sun and moon are long
The world is vast, truly blissful
[Chorus]
Drink old wine, brew new wine
Laughing beside the old clay pot
Monk and old man chant in harmony
He offers a chicken, I offer a goose
Really blissful
[Verse 2]
Retreat from the world, lock away the turmoil
Leave the world of fame and fortune, settle into a comfortable nest
Really blissful
[Bridge]
Working in the fields in the south, sleeping in the mountains in the east
Experienced many things in the world and human nature
Thinking over the past
He is virtuous, I am foolish
What is there to fight for?
