Full version lyrics of "Chengdu":

Last night's wine was not the only thing that made me cry. It also made me reluctant to part with it. Not only your gentleness, but also how long I have to walk, you hold my hand. What makes me feel embarrassed is the struggle for freedom. The separation is always in September. Memories are the sorrow of longing, the green weeping willows in late autumn kiss my forehead. In that rainy little city, I have never forgotten you, Chengdu. The only thing I can’t take away is you, come and walk with me on the streets of Chengdu.

Not stopping until all the lights go out, you will hold my sleeves and I will put my hands in my trouser pockets. Walking to the end of Yulin Road and sitting at the door of the tavern, the farewell is always in September. Memories are the sorrow of longing, the green weeping willows in late autumn kiss my forehead. In that rainy little city, I have never forgotten you, Chengdu. The only thing I can’t take away is you, come and walk with me on the streets of Chengdu. Not stopping until all the lights go out, you will hold my sleeves and I will put my hands in my trouser pockets.

We walked to the end of Yulin Road, sat at the door of the tavern, and walked with me on the streets of Chengdu. Don’t stop until all the lights go out. Take a walk with me on the streets of Chengdu and don’t stop until all the lights go out. You will hold my sleeves, and I will put my hands in my trouser pockets and walk to the end of Yulin Road. Walk through the door of the tavern and walk with me on the streets of Chengdu, not stopping until all the lights go out.
