"The water of the river forgets, I forget the love... He forgot to let her forget for three years, but he didn't let her forget a lifetime."

"There's the lonely little fox,

Sitting on the dunes watching the moon alone,

You don't have to watch the moon,

The fox is expecting the goat herder.

There's the helpless little fox,

Sitting on the dunes bewilderedly warming himself,

Come on fox wants to warm me,

The fox waited for his aunt to ride past."

- That's hard to hear! Change it differently!

- But I only know of this article...

"Long live forever, forever I will forget you!"
