Friends of Winter

Wind in my ears
Ice on the windowpane
The sun reaches out, but reaches in vain
Now winter is here
Life all around me dies
And I'm wondering how I'll survive

Look to the pine and the bamboo
See how the plum blossom blooms
The cold weather comes
But for sōng, zhú, méi
They persevere
While the rest fade away

Teach me, Friends of Winter
Can you give me strength and lend me your aid
Then when darkness comes again
I'll be unafraid,
No I'll stay strong
I'll be like sōng, zhú, méi

There will be nights
I feel like giving up
The fingers of frost will dig in my heart
And I must decide
Will I lose everything
Or will I press on toward the spring

And grow like the pine and the bamboo
Bloom as the plum blossom blooms
The cold weather comes
But like sōng, zhú, méi
I'll persevere
While the rest fade away

Teach me, Friends of Winter
Can you give me strength and lend me your aid
Darkness comes for me again
And I feel afraid
But I'll stay strong
Can I stay strong

Help me, Friends of Winter
Help me find the strength to not fade away
Then when darkness comes again
I'll be unafraid,
For I am strong

Like the friends of winter
I will find my strength and not fade away
When the darkness comes,
I will be unafraid
No I'll stay strong
I'll be like sōng, zhú, méi
