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。
