To the Lighthouse
Author: Qian Su
The lighthouse is on the other side of the summer.
They say that summer sounds very far away .
Keep going south.
Until the end of the world.
On Tierra del Fuego,
There is a small town called Ushuaia.
Ushuaia upon the stream,
The time of red and white.
Like the lighthouse,
Floating on the water ,Beat by the waves.
Lighthouse at the end of the world,
Sad people like to go.
Say that there can be.
Leave all unhappy things behind.
And what's called unhappy.
You tell me, what is that?
At the end of the world...
The lighthouse represents the beginning of a new world and the end of a old world
