hey, I think I can translate this one. Took some liberties here and there but it is a better job than google.

At a midnight the sirens ring all around
The volunteers in the city discover
Gathering by the bridge
Ten youths who have decided to fight the fire
One of them remembered he rarely exercised
Its really dangerous
He only signed up

There is another brave member
Who wants to be sweeter with his lover
Quietly, he turned around and slipped away
Yet another had advice from his mother
That one should never stand out too much in society
Never mind, and turned back and went home

Ten youths who decided to fight the fire
At this stage there are seven brave warriors left
Gathering by the bridge
Because of options on how to fight the fire
Three of them turned against them in the end
Leaving with insults, they never want to see each other again

There are still four dependable members
Yet another one would only talk and wont move forward
In his theories, he could not put out the fire and smoke
The three members who were left behind
Could not stop this fierce fire from burning
In an instant
They lost their lives in this great disaster

In this night the fire is like a field
The masses discuss these three youths
As if theyre complaining
The three are no use at all
In this night the fire is like a field
The masses discuss these three youths
The further they talk, the further they get from the truth

10 minus 1 is 9, 9 minus 1 is 8, ... 1 minus 1 is none.

This song... isnt actually related to the Tiananmen Square incident from what I know. Some people interpret it that way because it happened to be released around that time. Apparently the lyrics and concept were already there beforehand and it is supposed to be a critique on society in general, not a particular event.

Besides, iirc the group had a song that is more explicitly about the incident...
