The Dog Men’s Gang

A few male souls vowed to become dogs before being reborn as humans, hoping to atone for the sins of their past lives. Little did they expect that becoming a dog would leave them with both male and female bodies. Alas! They sleep on, oblivious to dawn, while mysteries lie everywhere. Spirit or anomaly? Truth or illusion? The lyric pattern bears witness: “Love made the jade perish: a flower and a young man. Love made the fragrance fade: a married woman and a man. Unwilling to vanish, I would rather be born into the wrong body. If I meet a man, I may become a pretty girl; if I meet a woman, I may become a handsome man. What a close call, what a tale to tell! I was not reborn for love, only to see you once. How miserable, neither man nor dog. If you still care, let me exhaust every last ounce of heroic spirit. I am nothing like the drunken man I once was, who knew only flowers, willows, and moonlit nights. My long-cherished wish fulfilled, I have gone, leaving only mist and rain to scatter in every direction. Dog or human, let tears become song. In the end, I have no regrets.”
