The narrator escapes through a window, then remembers someone inside; catastrophe and unrequited love become an almost theatrical monologue. Death, a soul and comparisons with a goddess belong to this extreme imagined scene, not a disaster report or a hierarchy of real lives. Care can be heard without accepting sacrifice as a requirement.
The public style suggests nakasi, enka and an imagined 1980s nostalgic sadness. The main lyric is Mandarin; a Hokkien prompt does not establish Hokkien singing. Repeated refrains, alas and Amem remain as published, while a stylistic decade does not date the recording.

[Verse 1, Mandarin Chinese]
怎么, 大地颤微,
敢不是地震来临, 乘着人们熟睡?
我丢下诗笔跳出窗外,
蓦然记起她还在房内。
[Chorus]
敢不是地震来临, 乘着人们熟睡?
敢不是地震来临, 乘着人们熟睡?
[Verse 2]
象黑色的闪电,
我猛冲进去.
__alas! 她安然脱险,
我却遭了致命一击。
[Chorus]
__alas! 她安然脱险,
我却遭了致命一击。

象黑色的闪电,
我猛冲进去.

我却遭了致命一击。

感谢上帝!
我满意地死去.
魂灵似乎正听到,
她在为我哭泣。

九泉之下我微笑安心:
一个完美的女神,
要抵得多少
我这样的凡人, Amem!
