The first time I met you,
seems like you can see my soul through.
For every trivial detail,
why can you see it?
Before I met you,
I've never thought about what love is.
Wondering if you feel the same?
You come to me like wind,
taking me away from the crowds
to touch the blue sky.
If you're tender wind,
please take me to the sky,
hand in hand, till we see all the scenery again.
Till we see all the scenery.
Someday, maybe the wind stops.
If possible,
I hope we can meet
in the same place.
Regardless of the weather,
cloudy, rainy or sunny,
we breathe the same air.
Do you also
keep the original intention
and still like staring at stars?
If you're tender wind,
take me as your wind chimes,
everyday, ringing happily.
My Mowgli Boy
Episode 23
What are you doing?
Goodbye and take care.
I'm off then.
Where are you going?
I'm going to see Brother Ziyue
and do some reading
and studying.
Come home early.
Take care.
What a nuisance!
Hello. Hello.
Do you come for Ling Xi?
Yes.
Ling Xi,
your friend has come to see you.
Who would come to see me?
Come in.
Thanks.
Um...
I sincerely wished you well
in the elevator last time.
If you
don't believe me,
I'll say sorry to you again.
I'm sorry.
Before I was just...
Can you just take it as if I was drunk?
Take it as if I talked nonsense after drinking too much.
Or you can
beat me a hundred times in your heart,
OK?
Actually that was long in the past.
Now I have a more important thing
for which I have a favor to ask.
Ask...ask of me?
Is it crowed for you guys to live here?
My apartment over there is available for sharing at an ultra-low price.
You...
don't have a grudge anymore?
No, I don't.
I can include water, electricity and gas bills in the rent.
I can also do the cleaning
and share my food.
Yiling,
how have you been recently?
Is there anything wrong?
Why?
Isn't this offer tempting enough?
I've thought about it,
as long as you move in,
you can still have your former master bedroom,
Mowgli will have the extra bedroom
and I'll stay in the solarium,
and we'll split the rent, OK?
Yiling,
is there anything wrong recently?
Did
anything bad happen to you?
No.
Did Wharf dock your pay
or did Zheng the Troll bully you?
Did that scumbag give you a hard time again?
Or did you buy any dodgy
Internet finance P2P loans?
No.
Just that I didn't come to realize until now
that it's really hard for me to bear so much burden
on my own.
Before I thought it was enough to
take good care of my family,
but now I have to
face everything on my own.
Work, house, livelihood,
anything can make you collapse under pressure.
Turns out it is so hard
to attend to everything.
I don't even know how I got by before.
Turns out everybody's life
is not as effortless
as it seems to be on the surface.
As I see it,
you are in one of your trough periods.
Trough periods are for enjoying life.
If you don't enjoy it now,
when you become successful
and become overwhelmed with your busy work,
how can you have the time to enjoy life, right?
What's more,
only with the trough period as a comparison
can you feel more deeply
the sense of achievement you get from managing to get through.
What you said
sounds quite plausible.
Doesn't it?
Go figure again,
now you live on your own
without a roommate, how good that is!
You can enjoy the space for yourself.
If you remarry later on,
I mean
you...
you get married later
and live together with someone,
you won't be able to have such a space, right?
Now what you talk about and think about
will only make yourself unhappy, right?
Why do you make yourself unhappy?
The more you are in an adversity,
the happier you should make yourself.
You are quite philosophical about life.
I am indeed.
But you must figure out a way
to get yourself out of this trough period.
You can't stay in it all the time.
Have you figured out a way
to get out of the trough period?
As for me,
I think I'm enjoying my current life
very much.
Enjoy the suffering first.
There will always be a way.
I'm somewhat weary after talking to you.
Knock yourself out.
I'll lie in for a while.
I don't know what's wrong with me these days,
I always feel sleepy.
Get out of the trough!
Keep it up! Get through the trough period!
OK, bye bye.
Bye bye!
Enjoy loneliness,
enjoy hardship,
enjoy loneliness...
Enjoy.
It's nearing the expiry date.
¥2000 for a tooth?
That's way too much!
Wang,
are you not eating out tonight?
No, I'll eat at home.
You wife must be cooking something delicious for you.
Yes, yes.
My wife is good at cooking.
What alcohol are you going to drink?
I'll drink some liquor,
high-proof liquor. Liquor?
You are quite a good drinker.
Mo!
Very good, very good.
Come over here and move the 20 boxes of cargo
to Warehouse No.2.
Gotcha!
I really can't do anything about it.
Have you gone to bed?
Come out for a chat.
It's only 10pm.
Do people have to go to bed so early in our house?
Are you dead?
I'd get out of bed
to kick your door were it not for the coldness!
No chatting. Saves electricity.
It's such a mess, such a mess!
Did anybody see my socks?
Can anybody come over to find them for me?
I'm going to be late for a meeting!
As I said, my messiness is an orderly one.
You guys insist on doing it your way.
Why don't you come and find them for me yourself?
She didn't even put the quilt back in the room.
Does she think she could put it here
and make it ferment into a money tree?
You are looking for socks, looking for socks,
but why do you have to sit on me?
You've been sleeping here all night.
Are you paralyzed?
Although I've been lying here all night long,
my brain is in high gears.
Do you think you are Stephen Hawking?
Get up for me!
Don't you believe I'm gonna break your legs
and make you a real vegetable?
Please take the trouble to do that.
Just stay and get rotten here.
While you have the money to buy so many snacks for her,
why don't you pay more for our living expenses?
Didn't even tidy it up!
She threw such a hissy fit.
Has she been jilted?
I'm really very gratified
by hearing your reports.
You've been very meticulous in your work
and did quite well.
Hope you can keep up the good work
and do even better.
Next, I'm going to...
I'm sorry I'm late.
Is there anything I've missed out on?
Heck!
Why is she so late?
The next topic,
the top priority of our work this year
is to establish a consultation platform
which aims to help the masses
solve practical problems in an effective way
while at the same time raising
our law firm's profile and case reception rate.
How do you guys think?
Sir,
we don't have IT at our company.
It doesn't matter we don't have IT.
Can't we just add a Q&A section
on our original APP?
Who's gonna take care of it then?
Anybody who would like to be a good Samaritan?
I don't have the time.
Well, you don't have the dedication spirit at all.
This must be done by a male employee.
Any volunteers?
I majored in criminal procedure.
What can I do for this?
Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng!
Do you have
any constructive suggestions on the issue just now?
No, please go on.
OK, let's go on.
Any volunteers?
I've got breakfast ready for you.
Remember to eat it.
I'm off.
Wait a minute.
Where are you going?
And
where did you get so much money to buy snacks for me?
Did you...
Did you find anything weird
about our home recently?
I don't think it's weird.
I think everything is quite normal.
I just go to see Brother Ziyue and do some reading,
studying and things like that.
I want to find my niche here
as quickly as I can.
I also want to lift us out of poverty as soon as possible.
I'm off.
All right.
Come home early.
OK, bye bye.
Is it heavy?
No.
Nobody gives me chocolate now,
why am I wearing myself out like this?
Hips, hips, waist, waist, waist.
Hips, hips, hips.
Belly, here, here, here. Waist, waist, waist.
Belly, belly, belly.
Here, here, here.
What's wrong? You feel sick?
Yes indeed.
Your hands made me very sick.
Please mind what you are doing.
You don't have to
keep touching me.
How was I touching you?
This is why I don't like giving classes
to female students.
You become too sensitive at the slightest touch.
How can the teaching go on?
Forget it, forget it.
I'll pretend I'm unlucky.
You are unlucky indeed.
For having met such a scumbag coach.
But this time,
you must make him apologize to you,
otherwise there will be more unlucky people.
What's wrong with me today?
I was giving a class as usual,
but have suddenly become a public enemy.
Shouldn't I be the miserable one instead?
Well, Miss Tang,
last time your boyfriend
gave me a few punches for no reason,
and I didn't even say anything.
Today you threw mud at me again.
Did I offend you?
Did you say he...
he hit you last time?
He hit quite hard.
This bruise here hasn't healed so far.
Anyway, since you are here today,
let's settle the scores clearly.
Pay the compensation for him.
You deserve the beating.
Shouldn't you be the one
to make an apology?
Don't you believe I'll go and report to the police with her now
and get you punished by relevant regulations
in Article 42 of Security Administration Punishment Act?
You even want to scare me with legal provisions?
Why?
Are you in the same league as your boyfriend?
If my boyfriend is here,
you'll die a even more miserable death!
Such a scumbag and nasty jerk like you
who dare not own up to what you've done
and know nothing but take liberties with women
should be slapped to
the African savannah
where your head will be crushed by chimpanzees
and hung on a tree to be air-dried
before you are sent to the universe with a cannon
to rotate around the Pluto!
Such a man like you doesn't deserve to be a coach!
You are mentally ill, aren't you?
Are you here to make a row?
I am here to make trouble.
I'm making trouble over a scumbag like you.
I'm gonna report to the police right now
to provide legal assistance to this lady.
Why? Are you scared?
Sorry, I'm in the wrong, OK?
Sorry, sorry.
Thanks.
Miss Tang,
thank you for what you did just now.
Thanks to your help,
otherwise
I'd be compelled to keep my grievances to myself again.
I heard that coach
is very likely to be fired.
When such a thing happens to you next time,
you must fight desperately to the end.
Such kind of person bullies the weak and fears the tough.
The more frightened you are, the more arrogant they become.
You must not let them go.
I'd love to do that though.
How I admire you!
You are awesome yourself,
and you also have a boyfriend
who backs you up.
Miss Tang,
are you all right?
I'm OK.
Here comes the creditor again.
When I was young, I always fantasized about
my wedding,
I must be dressed like a fairy
in a slim-cut fishtail dress with the air of a fairy.
Now I've grown up,
I begin to long for one
with a big train and a big hemline.
Where are you now?
Give me a call when you read my message.
Do you think
it'll be inconvenient for me to wear this
for our wedding photo-shooting tour?
Hello, the subscriber you dialed
is busy now,
sorry.
Darling,
how many times have I told you?
Don't bother about work when you are with me.
Sorry, I've got an emergency.
This dress looks nice.
Is it?
Which one do you think is better,
this one or the one just now?
I think both are very nice.
Shall I try on another one for you?
OK.
Bear with me.
Where do you suggest we are going for our photo-shooting tour and our honeymoon?
For the photo-shooting tour,
I think Prague is a good destination.
I think it's quite beautiful there.
For the honeymoon,
I just want it to be romantic.
What do you think of Italy?
Darling?
We'll just go
anywhere you like.
But every time I go to Italy,
it turns into a shopping spree.
It's not that good.
How about going to Iceland?
If we go to Iceland,
I think we can watch the aurora
and bathe in hot springs together.
The mere thought of it is so romantic.
Ling Yu, I have to say goodbye to you.
My parents have sent people to escort me back.
We can't hang out together in the coming days.
It's so nice to have met you.
Come to visit me
when you have the chance.
What did you say?
What about this one?
Where is he?
Either no phone call,
or definitely nothing good when they call.
Miss,
can you pull off the road for a while?
I'd like to call my parents one last time
to beg for mercy.
Thank you.
You are quite something.
You don't usually take care of me,
but you are quite responsible
for taking care of others' daughter.
Her parents
have inextricable
revolutionary camaraderie with us.
I can't help it.
Even if their daughter runs away to the earth's core,
we still have to be responsible for finding her.
So you have the nerve
to trouble your own daughter to look for her?
I don't have any revolutionary camaraderie with her.
Don't be so apathetic.
Why do you have different attitudes towards people and animals?
I promise you,
just this once,
and I'll make it up to you later.
I see, I see, I see.
Fortunately, I'll only have to see her off.
If you dare dump her at my place,
you'll see me die at any minute.
Why?
Why must I go back?
Please give me a reason.
Why? I don't understand.
We don't think you are safe.
As a young girl, you are so far away from us.
What?
It's safe everywhere.
I walk leisurely
on a street at 12pm midnight,
and nothing goes wrong at all.
I don't have to worry about being mugged.
What?
You walk on a street
on your own at 12pm?
Mom, please.
This is not what we are talking about. It's not the point.
Ain't I all right now?
My dear,
bad guys don't have the word danger
written on their foreheads.
It's all right now,
but it doesn't mean there will be nothing wrong in the future.
But I think
there is nothing wrong with this place.
Have you been to China?
It's really not what you think.
Do you know?
the food here is so good that it makes you want to fly
and the service is great.
What's more,
even when it snows,
they have people sweeping the snow overnight,
and there's no need to worry about not being able to go out.
Most importantly,
there is no mass shooting here at all.
How can it be dangerous?
Be quick to come to the company
to take over the case from Lu Ziyue.
Do I have to come when you want me to come?
Then...
I'll come early.
In the past,
I just thought Chinese food is delicious,
but when I came here, I found
not only the food is delicious here,
but
each dish has its own culture behind it
and each place has its own dialect.
What's he doing here?
I think Chinese culture is so profound
and I like it so much.
What's more, I've made
a true friend here.
And my environmental conservation group
also has a branch here
where I can continue to be a volunteer.
Why don't you let me stay?
Is your friend
the one who tricked us with you last time?
It has nothing to do with him.
It was my idea.
We are not against your making friends.
But there are many kinds of friends.
If he is really that kind of friend
who is sincere and worth associating with,
we also welcome him to come to visit us.
Let's stop here.
Come home ASAP.
We'll talk about this face to face.
I don't want to go home.
I really...
I really want to stay here very much.
Stop crying, my dear.
-You can go through the exit
formalities later. -Blubber,
the harder the better.
Talk to mommy for a while
and look at the sceneries around you
to keep a memory.
Yes, yes.
Tell us first if you have anything to say,
and we'll try to meet your needs and wants
except staying in China.
Dad, mom,
I'm nineteen this year.
I'm not the nine-month-old little baby
you held in your arms.
I have my own thoughts, views
and abilities of understanding and judgment.
I want to
live my own life in the way I want, can't I?
Can't you support me?
After all is said and done,
you are still talking about something we don't approve.
You know you are the apple of our eye,
but this thing is a no-no.
OK.
I'll go home.
When I'm back home,
I'll focus my mind on study only,
I will not go out,
I will not eat
and I will not talk to you.
I...
But before I go back,
I'm gonna cry here for a while first.
All right, all right, my dear, stop crying.
Be quick, be quick to wipe off your tears.
Let's take our time to talk, OK?
Not OK.
Can you
let me stay here if I stop crying?
Stop crying.
Stop crying, OK?
After shedding tears,
I'll shed blood tears.
After shedding blood tears, I'll shed tears again.
I'm not going back.
If you stop crying,
we can go on to talk about this matter,
OK?
OK, all right.
Then I'll
take it as if you've agreed to let me stay.
Thanks, dad and mom.
Rest assured,
I'll take good care of myself.
We haven't fully agreed yet.
You must not move about
before we find you a guardian.
If you can't do it,
we'll come to China
and bring you back ourselves.
I see, I see.
Bye bye.
Thank you.
I knew
I surely had the right judgment.
All my friends are dependable.
The key is that your tears
are very important to your parents.
They hate to see you shedding tears.
By the way,
what did the guardian say?
Could it be the one in this jeep...
Come in.
What's wrong? Did you sprain your waist?
Am I late?
No.
You've come right in time.
I was just waiting for you.
I thought I was late.
He...
Have a read of this.
The handover is done if there is no problem.
Why doesn't the litigant come here?
The litigant is abroad.
You know this clearly.
No.
I mean that whatsit,
Lu Ziyue.
Did he just hand this stuff over
without saying anything else?
Not anything related to the case.
What about anything unrelated to the case?
There is one.
"Let's make an appointment to have dinner together when you have time."
Appointment with me?
"I appreciate your hard work, Mr. Hou."
I also have something to tell him.
Please pass on the message to him.
Go ahead.
Let's have dinner together when you have time.
With me?
Lu Ziyue.
I'm gonna have a good talk with him.
Don't you miss me at all?
I'm not going upstairs.
Can I really go and stay there?
Don't I really have to care what she thinks?
What if...
What if by any chance she kicks me out?
Don't worry about this.
You'll be fine with this.
But
it's not good for me to
take your money, is it?
Take it easy.
Just give it to the person in that house
who's like a wandering ghost.
She's my younger sister.
What's more,
don't worry about this matter.
I'll get everything sorted out for you.
This battery runs out of electricity so easily.
Wait a moment.
You must not litter toxic or harmful substances.
You will pollute the environment by doing so.
I pollute the environment?
Do you have the heart to let the soil be eroded by toxic substances?
Do you have the heart to make little critters
lose their homeland?
I make little critters lose their homeland?
Yes.
Nowadays not all batteries
need to be recycled,
but yours is a lithium battery
whose main components are dimethyl sulfate,
diethyl carbonate
and ethylene carbonate.
Its decomposition evaporates volatile organic waste gas,
so you should do waste classification
and dump it where it should be.
You seem to know a thing or two.
Where do you think
I should dump it?
Give it to me.
A recycling mechanism
should be in place for such kind of toxic substances,
but I found it doesn't seem to be working very well here.
Give it to me.
The environmental conservation group I'm with
will help with its disposal.
Environmental conservation group?
Is that an organization
which raises people's awareness of environmental protection?
Yes.
Can I join?
I've always wanted to join such an organization
as I think it's quite good,
can I?
Yes.
We are planning
a waste battery recycling program,
but we are not familiar with this area.
It'll be great
to have you on board.
Really?
It's a deal then.
Deal.
Look,
actually I
do waste classification every time,
but for some of it
actually I can't figure out where it should be dumped
and where it shouldn't.
But if there is really such an organization,
it can not only raise people's awareness of environmental protection,
but also help them do it,
which is quite good.
Yes.
Do you know?
A lot of chemicals,
medicines past expiry dates
and even cosmetics
must not be littered randomly.
Sometimes a random litter
can pollute a person's water consumption for a few years,
which is more harm than good.
What's more,
some toxic substances
can generate toxic gas
during decomposition
which will do harm to both the environment and people,
so the popularization of environmental protection
is really important.
You didn't show
you seem to know more
than the man I know whose name is
Brother Ziyue.
Brother Ziyue?
Do you mean
Mr. Lu Ziyue of Puhua University?
Do you also know him?
I used to hear that
we are all
just six handshakes away from anyone.
I never felt it
before I came to China,
now I come to think
it makes so much sense.
After all the back and forth,
it turns out everybody knows everybody.
I have a predestined bond with you guys.
That's good.
Anyway, I suppose you also
live nearby.
If I have
any knowledge that I don't understand in environmental protection,
I'll go and ask you.
OK.
Hello, I am Mowgli.
Brother Clam? (NB: The pronunciation of Mowgli
sounds like ge li which means clam in Chinese.)
A pleasant and delicious name.
Hello,
I am Chu Shi.
I'm off then.
See you soon. OK.
Thanks. No problem.
Stop knocking.
I have the key.
Come in.
Who's this?
Why is she so strange?
She's not strange at all.
She says she's Tang Cheng's friend.
What's strange about that?
Hello, Miss.
I am Chu Shi.
This is my rent.
Rent?
I never thought Tang Cheng
sometimes has such a quick wit.
Is that tent also a room?
That's mine.
Don't even think about it.
That is my room.
Feel free to pick from the rest.
Please, please.
As I told you,
I told you I can't, I can't.
I've already had two freeloaders in my house,
it's already a mess,
and you send another one?
Do you think I'm running a pig farm?
Nothing but more trouble for me.
Damn woman, where did you chuck it?
You damn woman!
You are lying here all day long.
Are you merged with the sofa?
My goodness!
Why did my house turn into this?
Keeping away from fraudsters for personal survival,
this is so important!
Hi.
This is a private residence,
not a wildlife protection center.
It doesn't shelter such wandering animals like you,
don't you know?
I'm so tender and lovely,
are you really not going to think twice about it?
When I was going through security check on my arrival in China,
I was so happy
and exploded with ecstasy.
Exploded with ecstasy, didn't you?
Why didn't the staff
stop you while you were going through security check?
I felt so regretful about that.
Why don't you
leave amid the explosion now?
I'm not going. I can't go!
I haven't checked off my wish list yet.
I haven't got a Chinese boyfriend yet.
I'd lose my efforts to a ghost
if I really walk out of this door.
I'm not going.
What the hell is losing your efforts to a ghost (guǐ)?
That character is pronounced kuì, OK?
If you stay in China,
sales of brain damage pills will skyrocket.
Just let me stay.
I can do a lot of things.
I can make coffee, boil oatmeal,
do cleaning
and waste classification.
I can also provide free
simultaneous interpretation in a pure American accent.
I won't charge a dime.
Shall I
give all my facial masks
to you?
With myself as a freebie.
OK?
I can take your facial masks,
but I don't want the freebie.
First of all,
I just don't want you to stay here at all.
Next,
please open your eyes to have a look,
is there any living space for you here?
There is.
That's my room.
Then here, there,
there and here.
I can sleep in a sleeping bag.
I'll just make do with it.
Failing that, I'm also OK with the sofa.
This sofa is the source of my inspiration.
You'll have to whistle for it.
No way!
There's nothing I can do.
But I've paid rent!
Rent?
Why don't I know about it
as the landlord myself?
I've given it to them.
OK, OK.
Awesome, awesome!
I...
I'll have some potato chips to steady my nerves.
Is it yummy?
She bought it.
Why...why is it so hot in this room?
Isn't it quite warm?
She paid the electricity bill.
OK.
I'll take all this as
your rent for tonight.
Move out on time
when you get up tomorrow morning!
Ling Xi,
has Tang Cheng left?
The fact that she can
get through the whole night
in such a chaos
is kind of compulsive recovery.
I'd like to tell you
a friend of mine is coming for a visit a while later.
When your friend calls in,
I should show courtesy indeed,
but
I really don't want to move away from this place.
Can you and your friend
take me as
part of the sofa?
Knock yourselves out.
Don't give a hoot.
Don't give a hoot at all.
Sit wherever you want.
Ling Xi,
let me introduce my friend to you.
This is my friend Ling Yu.
Ling Yu, your older brother.
I know, I know.
I know this man very well.
Don't bother to introduce him.
I've packed my things up.
I'll count on you to make me stay or get kicked out.
Leave it to me.
What bad luck!
Such bad luck
happens to me as soon as I see you.
Do you have an ill omen (homophone of bra in Chinese) on you?
I don't have a bra on me.
If my father sends you here
as a lobbyist,
you'd better keep your opinion to yourself.
I happened to pass by
and came to check in on you.
Can I take a seat?
Go ahead.
If you've got anything to say, say it quickly.
I'm very busy.
I heard you don't want to work at father's company.
Are you not afraid of letting him down?
Stop crying crocodile tears.
I know
you have a grudge against me.
You should be relieved
that I'm not working at the company, older brother.
Actually I don't have any grudge against you.
I'm just afraid that
you'd make more trouble for me as a rookie.
You don't have to argue for yourself.
I'm not interested in
your grand ambitions.
If you want to take something from my father,
feel free to take it.
Anyway, he never took care of me before,
and I will not rely on him in the future.
Keep it up!
In this case, I have a suggestion.
Feel free to make it.
Actually father hates to see you
idling around.
If you wish to upskill,
I think he'd be very gratified.
So
would you consider studying abroad?
Of course
this is just a suggestion.
I've got my own plan already,
but I don't want to go abroad.
I saw an MBA course recently
which I'd like to enroll.
It has very low entry requirements,
which is a good fit for a rookie like me,
only that...
If it's due to money problems,
I can help you.
What number is this?
One.
Are you all right?
Are you diagnosed with
cheerful depression?
No.
I'm in good health recently,
and in a good mood as well.
You've even learnt to pick up a joke.
Ill omen (homophone of bra in Chinese)?
Although it's not a funny joke,
at least it is a joke.
And there's more.
Why do you have
an affable smile
on your old face now?
Perhaps I've been
living in a kind social circle recently.
Are you gonna take the money or not?
Ling Yu,
we've been known each other for so many years.
Don't you know
what I'm like?
Do you think I'm that kind of person?
I'll take it first.
But I won't take it for nothing.
I'll surely give you an IOU.
And I'll surely
pay you back when I have money later, OK?
I'm as good as my word.
Take it.
I'll surely pay you back afterwards.
Thanks.
Ling Xi,
you see
I've solved a trouble for you,
can you also
help my friend a bit?
No problem.
It's a deal!
But there's one thing I'm very curious about:
How did you guys get to know each other?
You are not in the same league at all.
I've got things to do.
I'm off.
His long-standing image is warped like this,
what's gotten into him?
Did he take any
smiling half-step epilepsy pills?
The brother and sister pair is so affectionate to each other.
I also want an older brother.
What a big misunderstanding!
Young people
are really too naïve.
You have such a good sense of language.
I'll teach you practical ones some other day.
Did I smile?
At twenty to nineteen,
you stand across the road
in grey hooded coat reaching below the knees.
You come up to me,
with your head down and eyes narrowed.
With the sun behind you, you smile not saying a word.
The cool wind, the subtle night;
the tipsy street, the smiling eyes;
You tenderly hold my hands and look at me, blanking out.

The cool wind, the subtle night;

I slightly turn my head and look at you, blanking out.
The warm hands, the glimmering moon,
the dim light, and the tiny face.
You tenderly hold my hands and look at me, blanking out.
