You once said that Teacher Songyang's long hair is the most beautiful.
So I grew my hair long, but you never let me let it down.
I never thought about escaping,
I'm waiting for you in Edo to come riding the black wind,
Waiting for you to fulfill your promise,
Seeing you standing at the top of Edo and commanding thousands of troops to crush the shogunate,
I will see you back to the iris pond, and we will never meet again.
But enough is enough, really enough is enough
Leading the anti-barbarian troops to fight against the shogunate was never what I wanted.
After all, I can't be as free and easy as Ah Yin!
I no longer need these three thousand trouble threads. I will keep them for you and cut them off for you!
If time could go back to the beginning, no, it doesn't have to be the beginning, just go back to that dark and windy night. The two eyes staring silently at both ends of the dark alley may be the most cherished time in my life.
