the river of life

生命之川

the more we live, more brief appear

our life's succeeding stages;

a day to childhood seems a year,

and years like passing ages.

the gladsome current of our youth,

ere passion yet disorders,

steals lingering like a river smooth,

along its grassy borders.

but as the care-worn cheets grow wan,

and sorrow's shafts fly thicker,

ye stars, that measure life to man,

why seem your courses quicker?

when joys have lost their bloom and breath

and life itself is vapid,

why, as we reach the falls of death,

feel we its tide more rapid?

it may be strange-yet who would change

time's coures to slower speeding,

when one by one our friends have gone

and left our bosoms bleeding?

heaven gives our years of fading strength

indemnifying fleetness;

and those of youth,a seeming length,

proportion'd their sweetness.

人生越老，岁月越短，

生命的历程似在飞换;

儿时的一天如同一载，

一载如同几个朝代。

青春的热情尚未衰退，

愉悦的流泉但觉迟迟，

有如一道草原中的绿溪，

静悄悄的蜿蜒着流泻。

但待颊上的红霞退尽，

忧愁的征箭越飞越频，

星星呦星星，你们大小司命，

你们的运行为何越来越迅?

当快感失去了花时和吸引，

生命本身有如一个空瓶，

当我快要临到死境，

为什么退潮更加猛进?

怪诞呀，可能是怪诞——

谁要不想把日程放慢，

友人的谢世接二连三，

胸中的伤痛如荼如炭。

是天，使我们日渐衰竭的暮年

得到迅速消失的补偿，

是天，使青年时代的快乐，

得到相应的貌似延长。

仅是陌生人

Just classmates Just strangers

We are ever classmates, but now just strangers.

With cicadas singing song, leaves turning green, and also frogs crying in the pool,

weaving hands, I say goodbye to you, trying to catch some memory standing at the windows

Slight smile appears in your face.

Blear bygone flashes in my minds.

thread of minds flows as a butterfly in a fascicle

, which meet a charming blossom.

the rain drops cold, the winds flows mournful, but the tassel turns golden.

Just as the moon attracts the night, your magic shadow enchants me.

Who will encounter you in your life?

Is it Fate? we are ever classmates, but now just strangers.

Getting along with you all the way is a foolish dream, which a fool like me always conceives.

Having waited for a summer, for whom I shed tears?

Is it Fate? we are ever classmates, but now just strangers.

The melody,and the rythm,even our hands-beating make me full of grieve.

Our seperating,and embracing,even our promise motivate me missing you all the night.

Unforgetable,unforgetable,you are the one who I chericsh most in my life.

We are not just classmates, nor strangers

蝉鸣，叶绿，池塘蛙声一片

挥手，道别，站在窗口回忆

你的容颜泛起丝丝笑意

我的回忆荡起波波涟漪

心事如蝶，乱花飞舞，迷乱一场相遇

凉凉的雨，瑟瑟的风，金金的穗

月儿惹了夜，你的妆影惹了我

谁与你今生路过

缘分?仅仅同学，仅仅陌生人

相伴走一生是痴梦，痴人做梦

一夏季的等待，我的痴泪为谁滂沱

缘分?仅仅同学，仅仅陌生人

旋律，节拍，掌击也弥漫忧伤

分离，相拥，倒过来想你

难忘，难忘，你是我今生最爱

不仅仅同学，不仅仅陌生人
