Lyrics

[Verse]
少年夢還在飛行
轉眼白髮藏眼睛
書聲未落 舊卷未翻
歲月悄然已前行

[Verse 2]
學海無涯路難平
心火微光也需傾
一寸光陰 一寸金
怎敢辜負這黎明

[Chorus]
池塘春草猶在夢中
梧桐落葉已響秋風
時光不語卻最匆匆
怎能等閒看它溜走

[Bridge]
黃昏之前還有清晨
淚水之下藏著星辰
莫負年少 莫負初心
在風裡築夢成真

[Final Chorus]
池塘春草猶在夢中
梧桐落葉已響秋風
青春雖短 夢可長存
讓光陰因你而動容

Lyrics English Translation:
[Verse 1]
Youth still dances in the skies
But silver creeps into the eyes
Books unopened, dreams not done
Time has moved, like setting sun

[Verse 2]
Learning’s road is steep and wide
Still I chase the fading light
Every heartbeat, every ray
Golden time must not decay

[Chorus]
Spring grass dreams beneath the moon
Fallen leaves now hum of June
Time says nothing, yet it flies
How can I let it pass me by?

[Bridge]
Before the dusk, there’s morning’s shine
Behind each tear, a star will climb
Don’t waste youth, don’t lose your flame
Let every hour call your name

[Final Chorus]
Spring grass dreams beneath the moon
Fallen leaves now hum of June
Though youth is brief, the dream can stay
Let time be moved by what we say


Zhu Xi “偶成”

少年易老學難成,
一寸光陰不可輕。
未覺池塘春草夢,
階前梧葉已秋聲。
