The world rushes on over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness.

世界从踌躇之心弦上匆匆而过，奏出忧郁的乐声

Shadow, with her veil drawn, follows light in secret meekness,

with her silent steps of love.

The stars are not afraid to appear like fireflies.

海鸥飞去，浪潮涌去，我们离去

listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.

我的白昼已经过去，我像一只泊在海滨的小船，谛听着晚潮的舞曲

Never be afraid of the moments—thus sings the voice of everlasting.

决不要害怕刹那——永恒之声吟唱道
