Youth flies 青春飞逝

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!

我们所有的痛苦都能有所收获，

我们所有的痛苦都得到安慰;

但当青春，梦想，离开了

它从我们的心中带走一些东西，

它永远不会再来了。

我们会更强大，会变更好，

在成年人的严厉统治下;

我们依然感到甜美的青春飞逝，

而且它不会再回来。

美好的东西已经消失，

我们枉自为此叹息;

我们到处都能看到它，

在地上，在空中，

但它永远不会再回来!
