As now I have reached my old age,
I know that not much big deal
can be done anymore.
I also learn that not many people will
care or pay attention to what deal I do, if any.
However, I still have the passion,
I am always an enthusiastic onlooker to watch
what others are doing.
If anyone would so choose to chat with me,
I am definitely willing to tell him about
my insights towards life.
人到晚年，可以做的事不多了。
想做也沒什麼人會理會或留意了。
若心還熱的，
也只能冷眼旁觀人世事。
若有誰會和我聊聊天，
我一定會告訴他有關我能洞識的天機。
When I was young listening to some songs
about the elderly written by some young artists,
I was not much impressed.
When I am now old listening to these same songs,
I surprisingly find that those some young artist had written very good songs on the elderly which I shared much:
年青時聽年青人創作有關老人的歌曲歌詞，
沒什麼感覺。到老時再聽那些歌，
覺得他們寫有關老人的歌曲歌詞，寫得很好呢:
Barclay James Harvest
THE POET
Here I sit watching the day out
No-one beside me who may doubt
All of the words that I could chose to say
So listen, believe, or be gone from this day
I need a friend to walk with me
And sit in the shade of an old tree
To think nothing much, just agree with my thoughts
To say nothing much, never tell what I ought
Watching the people pass by now
They just don't know why or know how
They don't seem to care about all that I've seen
They just walk on by never knowing I've been
Sitting up here where I'm wind blown
Only to ask and to be shown
Things that would make you believe what I say
I'll tell you myself and I'll show you some day
AFTER THE DAY
The eyes of night march slowly by
The last grain falls
The kneeling man just sighs
Protected by the one great wall
Of coloured parts
He probes his clouded mind
If he takes a look around him
Is there nothing left to see
Is there nothing left at all
After the day
With trembling hands he wipes his eyes
He tries to stand
But does not feel the need
The morning sun shines on
The multicoloured cross
Left standing through it all
If he takes a look around him
Is there nothing left to see
Is there nothing left at all
After the day
If he takes a look around him
Is there nothing left to see
Is there nothing left at all
After the day
