lyrics

Thinking back, you, the respectable elders, are all lucky stars/ To be strong and brave is a fortune/ Today, we see each other, smiling, embracing/ I wish you a healthy life of 120 years/ Thinking back, we come to this earth temporarily to have a good time/ Do not labor yourself just to make money/ If you destroy your health, you’ll have nothing to lean on/ Stay young and fresh, and you’ll have no worries/ Thinking back, we come to this world that is full of warmth/ Don’t care too much about money; it will make you worry/ Stay relaxed, and you will love the world more/ I wish you a healthy and satisfying life
