There is no banquet in the world that doesn't end.
The party is over!
A madman shouted like this.
He came down from the mountain,
Walked into the bustling streets,
What a joyful feast of a hundred years!
People come and go,
People compare their eating habits,
People judge their attire,
People evaluate their conversations,
People bring out one set after another of flattery for their guests and friends,
People admire the previous dish,
People anticipate the next dish,
The party is over!
A madman shouted.
The second hand of the clock ticked relentlessly,
This annoying background noise,
The flames are still flickering,
The fragrance of wine, the melodious singing,
The dance shakes the floor,
Children watch the rowdy adults applaud or cry,
Firecrackers crackle, covering up laughter and tears,
The party is over!
A madman scares the children,
Red banners hang all over the world,
Newcomers and old friends are lost in the chorus of blessings,
Banknotes are handed to welcoming smiles,
Red ink records the numbers of the festive occasion,
The emcee's empty words, repeated countless times, still float above our heads,
The guests' applause rings out without hesitation,
The party is over!
A madman's sigh is drowned out,
What a beautiful fireworks display!
She looks at the man with envy in her eyes and says,
What a beautiful fireworks display!
Another man looks deeply into another woman's eyes and says affectionately,
What a beautiful fireworks display!
They say in unison,
Brilliant romance is a promise, a guarantee, a streak of light across the sky,
The party is over!
A drunken madman laughs and says,
The party is over!
People laugh at the madman's crazy talk,
The party is over!
The hearts of the children are shaken,
The party is over!
The host looks at the gatekeeper with embarrassment,
The party is over!
The fortune teller predicts that the next minute will no longer be an auspicious day,
The party is over!
People can't tell if it's the voice of God or the voice of a madman,
The guests stand there in a daze,
The kitchen is empty,
Firecrackers explode and disperse,
The lights go out one by one,
Crying echoes from the new house in the dark night.
