[Verse 1]
Five minutes before six in the evening,
Enduring the sweltering heat in the kitchen,
I dissolve half a spoonful of instant coffee in tap water, add ice, and drink two glasses.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The water flowing from the tap is too lukewarm to drink, just as it is.
[Chorus 1]
Let’s move forward at our own pace.
Don’t worry about what anyone says.
Just do what you want to do.
There’s no need to worry about others.
[Verse 2]
I took a breather and stepped outside.
Usually, I don’t run into a soul,
But today, for a change, there was a person,
So I found myself calling out to him.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
He picked tomatoes, eggplants, and green peppers from his garden and gave them to me.
[Chorus 2]
Let’s move forward at our own pace.
Don’t worry about what anyone says.
Just do what you want to do.
There’s no need to worry about others.
[Verse 3]
A full moon hung in the blue sky.
It was still hot, yet the breeze felt cool.
I filled a bucket and a watering can with water,
Carrying one in each hand.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I tipped the bucket onto the dry soil of the field and kept pouring water from the can.
[Chorus 3]
Let’s move forward at our own pace.
Don’t worry about what anyone says.
Just do what you want to do.
There’s no need to worry about others.
[Bridge]
I buried sprouted bitter melon seeds and daikon radish seeds in the earth.
The full moon shone in the night sky.
July was coming to an end.
[Final Chorus]
Let’s move forward at our own pace.
Don’t worry about what anyone says.
Just do what you want to do.
There’s no need to worry about others.
[Outro]
