English Translation - Youth Dance

The sun goes down and will still come up tomorrow morning
The flowers have withered but they will still bloom next year
The beautiful island disappeared without a trace
The little bird of my youth will never come back
The little bird of my youth will never come back
Others are like that, others are like that.
The little bird of my youth will never come back
