Youth flies 青春飛逝

There are gains for all our losses,

There are balms for all our pain;

But when youth, the dream, departs

It takes something from our hearts,

And it never comes again.

We are stronger, and are better,

Under manhood’s sterner reign;

Still we feel that something sweet

Followed youth, with flying feet,

And will never come again.

Something beautiful is vanished,

And we sigh for it in vain;

We behold it everywhere,

On the earth, and in the air,

But it never comes again!

我們所有的痛苦都能有所收獲，

我們所有的痛苦都得到安慰;

但當青春，夢想，離開了

它從我們的心中帶走一些東西，

它永遠不會再來了。

我們會更強大，會變更好，

在成年人的嚴厲統(tǒng)治下;

我們依然感到甜美的青春飛逝，

而且它不會再回來。

美好的東西已經(jīng)消失，

我們枉自為此嘆息;

我們到處都能看到它，

在地上，在空中，

但它永遠不會再回來!
