When I’m sad and feeling low,
And worries are all I know.
Just hearing you say “Hello”
Fills me with a cheerful glow.
When I’m away in places new,
With no familiar faces in view,
It gives me plsasure to think of you
And the adventures we’ve been through.
When life seems like one long night,
And nothing is ever going right,
There’s just one sure delight:
Friendship, like sunrise, warm and bright.
当我悲伤低落的时候,
我只知道担忧。
只有听到你说“你好”
让我充满了欢乐光辉
当我去了新的地方,
看不到熟悉的面孔,
我很高兴想起了你
还有我们冒险的经历。
当生活就像漫长的夜晚,
凡事都不会一帆风顺,
只有一种确切的快乐:
友谊像日出,温暖而明亮。
