Because we don't know when we will die 
因為不知何時死之將至…
We get to think of life as an inexhaustible well
我們乃將生命視為
Things happen only a certain number of times
無窮無盡任意揮霍的源泉
And a small number, really
然而滄桑世事於一生所遇卻總是有限
How many times will you remember an afternoon of your childhood…
童年，午後，一生中揮之不去的人和事
An afternoon so deeply a part of you that you can't be without it
這樣的下午能回憶起幾個？
Perhaps four or five times more,
也許有四，五個
Perhaps not even that
也許還沒有這麼多
How many times will you watch the moon rise?
一生中見過幾次日出月落？
Perhaps 20
或許有二十次吧
And yet it all seems limitless
然而人們卻覺得一切都可以任意揮霍
Because we don't know when we will die 
We get to think of life as an inexhaustible well
Things happen only a certain number of times
How many times will you watch the moon rise
