How can you forget your old friends?
Can you not miss it in your heart?
Can old friends forget each other?
[Folk Song] Long live friendship
Long live friendship? Long live the friendship
Raise a glass and drink, sing the praises of friendship for ever.
We used to walk on the green hills in our hometown all day.
We went through a lot of hardships and wandered around.
Long live friendship, friends, long live friendship.
Raise a glass and drink, sing the praises of friendship for ever.
We used to paddle on the green waves all day.
But it's gone now.
Away from the sea
Long live friendship? Long live friends and friendship.
Raise a glass and drink, sing the praises of friendship for ever.
We used to feel the same way.
Let's hold hands.
Let's drink a toast.
[Folk Song] Long live friendship
Long live friendship, long live friends, long live friendship.
Raise a glass and drink, sing the praises of friendship for ever.
Long live friendship, long live friends, long live friendship.
Raise a glass and drink, sing the praises of friendship for ever.
Long live friendship, long live friends, long live friendship.
Raise a glass and drink, sing the praises of friendship for ever.
