Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine
Nine thousand steps have been completed
It's still a bit of a walk
Thought to myself
Today I will walk nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine
Such a number of steps
This year
There have been fewer than three or five thousand steps
There are too many than ten thousand or three or five thousand steps
Insist on completing this number
Not on a whim
Just thinking about what way
To commemorate the year that will pass
Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps
I don't want one more step or one smaller step
Nine was chosen
It's because of the number at this time
It's not an easy journey
Rather, it condenses me and life
Six more hours is the next year
The head of the ox-tailed tiger in the lunar calendar
I continued to welcome the new Chinese New Year's Eve
I was in the dark at this moment
Walk calmly
I imagine that I am a steady old cow
Every step I take is my tribute to you
Old cow you didn't go
You are the cart puller of the prairie of my heart
The timeless landscape of the Lehrer team
With your hardships, there is my gratitude
Send you off
The road we have traveled has been straight and straight
All the way to the song of the old and the new
