Original poem (full text)
Translation:
Tomorrow is another tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are.
If you just wait for tomorrow every day, you will only waste your time and accomplish nothing.

Watch the river flow eastward in the morning and the sun set in the evening.
How many tomorrows can a person have in his life? Please listen to my song tomorrow.

Appreciate:
The meaning of this poem is simple and straightforward, without any metaphorical content, but it expresses a kind of drawback that everyone has been trying to eliminate since ancient times, that is, many people use "tomorrow" as an excuse to avoid problems that should be solved immediately and let themselves be lazy until "everything goes wrong". In fact, as the author said, "Tomorrow can be a hundred years old", the most important thing is not tomorrow, but grasping the present.
This poem mentions "tomorrow" seven times, repeatedly warning people to cherish time, do today's work well, don't put it off until tomorrow, and don't waste time.
There is only one life, and time never looks back. Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today and the day after tomorrow. The poet warned people to firmly grasp the fleeting today. What can be done today must be done today. Don't pin any plans and hopes on the unknown tomorrow. Otherwise, "the day after tomorrow" will only end up as "all in vain" and accomplish nothing.
The enlightenment of this song of tomorrow is that many things in the world can be fought for and saved as much as possible, and only time is hard to retain. There is only one life, and time never looks back. Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today and the day after tomorrow.
