The pure,the bright,the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses to wordless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth;
The longing after something's lost,
The spirit's yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes-
These things can never die.
壹切純潔的,輝煌的,美麗的,
強烈地震撼著我們年輕的心靈的,
推動著我們做無言的禱告的,
讓我們夢想著愛與真理的;
在失去之後為之感到珍惜的,
使靈魂深切地呼喊著的,
為了更美好的夢想而奮鬥著的——
這些美好不會消逝。
The timid hand stretched forth to aid,
A brother in his need,
A kindly word in grief's dark hour
That proves a friend indeed:
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh,
The sorrow of a contrite heart-
These things shall never die.
羞怯的伸出援助的手,
在妳的兄弟需要的時候,
傷慟、困難的時候,壹句真心的話
就足以證明朋友的真心;
輕聲地乞求憐憫,
在審判臨近的時候,
懊悔的心有壹種傷感——
這些美好不會消逝。
Let nothing pass for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love-
Be firm,and just,and true:
So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high.
And angel voices say to thee-
These things shall never die.
在人間傳遞溫情,
盡妳所能地去做;
別錯失了喚醒愛的良機——
為人要堅定,正直,忠誠:
因此上方照耀著妳的那道光芒
就不會消失。
妳將聽到天使的聲音在說——
這些美好不會消逝。
