海外逸士原創雙語: 歲月篇

日月如跳丸﹐經年行中天。四季循復去﹐不息如流川。春花雖雲好﹐及冬盡凋殘。
人生譬朝露﹐那得久喘延。仙鄉不可期﹐世事難十全。虛度半甲子﹐鬢髮行將斑。
安得乾坤手﹐攀住羲和輪﹖安得不死藥﹐萬古駐春顏﹖歲月不可留﹐壯志竟何酬。
高歌歌一曲﹐曲罷意未休。

On Time

The recurring sun and moon like jumping balls,
Proceeding across the sky all the year round.
The four seasons come and go in cycles
Like the ceaseless current in a stream.
Although the spring flowers are beautiful,
They』ll all wither when winter arrives.
Human life resembles the morning dew;
How can it last long?
The God』s paradise shouldn』t be expected;
The worldly affairs can hardly be perfect.
I』ve vainly spent thirty years;
Now my hair will soon turn grey.
How can I get an almighty hand
To hold back the chariot of Apollo?
How can I get a pill of immortality
So that I can stay young forever?
Time cannot be detained;
How can my ambition be accomplished?
I sing a song at the top of my voice;
Though the music ends, my emotions still surging.
