  1. 接吻 喝彩声

    Kissing sounds, cheers, lottery flares, applause echoes.

  2. Button clicks, demolition crashes, jumping sounds, do you hear?

  3. 唱票 上牌

    Karaoke voices, ticket calls, card plays, card clashes.

  4. 诉苦

    Eating losses, counting debts, complaining voices, do you hear?

  5. 声浪睡莲 瞬间一念

    Waves crash, like a lotus disturbed, fleeting moments of existence like a thought.

  6. 闭起观照 尘世音波曲线

    Close your eyes and observe, the curves of sound waves in this worldly life.

  7. 法界众生 喧哗

    Seeing all beings in the realm of law, noise flashes like lightning.

  8. 交响盛宴

    Like a symphony of greed, anger, and ignorance in a grand feast.

  9. 胡言 立誓甜言

    Attacks, disputes, and nonsense debates, heartfelt vows whispered in sweet words.

  10. 争吵大闹谣言 是非

    Arguments, deception, noisy rumors, further fueling the chaos.

  11. 抗议 控诉道别留言

    Smoke rises, shouting protests and grievances, sorrowful cries of farewell left behind.

  12. 招呼耳语问候微言 说教吹牛敷衍

    Greeted with whispers, subtle words exchanged, teachings and advice, boasting and dismissiveness.

  13. Rain will dry, birds will fly, butterflies will die, dreams will awaken.

  14. 不见

    Trees will wither, love will ache, ears will hide, unable to hear.

  15. Swift like the wind, fleeting like smoke, grateful like blossoms, scattered like ash.

  16. 不见

    Distant like stars, faint like water, still like the heart, unable to hear.

  17. 声浪睡莲 瞬间一念

    Surging waves collide with sleepy lotuses, moments of birth and death merge like a thought.

  18. 闭起观照 尘世音波曲线

    Close your eyes to observe the curves of sound waves in this dusty world.

  19. 法界 喧哗

    In the realm of law, all voices are seen, clamoring flashes like lightning.

  20. 交响盛宴

    Like a grand symphony of greed, anger, and ignorance.

  21. 彼此压力未能 彼此怨念

    With pressure between us, sleep eludes our eyes, resentments linger, and sweet dreams are hard to find.

  22. 彼此困局 世界谁在打点

    In our mutual plight, who feels the pain? Who's orchestrating life in this world?

  23. 彼此未能 彼此也有

    Regrets linger unspoken between us, and who will mend the hatred that we share?

  24. 彼此也有被人 指点

    We both have our troubles, judged by others, waiting for a sage to guide us through.

  25. 喜欢 ()打倒 (推举)解决 (一味)

    I like you (thinking of you) bringing you down (lifting you up) unresolved waiting for you (don't be so petty)

  26. 表决 为何忘记 为何你想 (大家 为何你想)

    Waiting for your choice, why can't you forget? Why do you want to die? (Everyone's waiting for you, go on, why do you want to die?)

  27. 飞蚁 丧礼眼泪

    Listening to flying ants flap their wings, sorrow weighs down my sleep, listening to the funeral, tears drop and blossom into lotuses.

  28. 乞丐 听众表演

    Listen to the coins clinking in the beggar's bowl, hear the crowd's voice in the show.

  29. 往复 伊美

    Listening to messages, navigating through the years, hearing her beauty berate like the swift cicadas.

  30. 心跳放下 释然

    Listen to the heartbeat, let go, calm as Zen, listen to the sutras, feel at ease.

  31. 释迦说法 拈花静默

    The Buddha spoke and left his legacy, with a smile and silence, no words to convey.

  32. 寂灭 你会一点

    Transcending life, breaking barriers, forgetting speech, will you find some stillness?

  33. 一个印度童言 明年

    Listening to a child's voice from India, hear him laugh, wishing to cross to next year.

  34. 清水似箭 你会张扬

    Listening to him drink pure water, swift like an arrow, will you keep quiet and give with cheer?

  35. 道理 道理 解脱

    Truths deep and shallow, laid in the heart, lead to liberation's part.

  36. 无常不可 解决

    The path of impermanence cannot be expressed, it's up to you to address.
