Original text:
Song of Tomorrow
Ming Dynasty: Qian Hetan
Tomorrow comes tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. If I wait for tomorrow, everything will be wasted.
If the world is tired of tomorrow, spring will pass and autumn will come.
Look at the water flowing eastward in the morning, and the sun setting in the west at dusk. What will happen in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.
Translation: Tomorrow is another tomorrow, so many tomorrows. My whole life I've been waiting for tomorrow and nothing is progressing. The world is tired of tomorrow just like me, and will grow old soon after each passing year.
Watching the river flowing eastward in the morning and watching the sun setting westward in the evening is true life. How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Please listen to my "Song of Tomorrow".
