Childhood has no memories;
Only the present exists before me.
Youth has only dreams;
The present lies beyond the present.
In middle age, there are no dreams;
The present remains the same before me.
In old age, there are only memories;
The present is all the past.
童年時沒有回憶
眼前祇有眼前
青年時祇有憧憬
眼前外有眼前
中年時沒有憧憬
眼前還是眼前
老年時祇有回憶
眼前未及眼前

Sixto Rodriguez- Sandrevan Lullaby
The generals hate holidays
Others shoot up to chase the sun blues away
Another store front church is open
Sea of neon lights, a boxer his shadow fights
Soldier tired and sailor broken
Winter's asleep at my window
Cold wind waits at my door
She asks me up to her place
But I won't be down anymore
Judges with metermaid hearts
Order super market justice starts
Frozen children inner city
Walkers in the paper rain
Waiting for those knights that never came
The hi-jacked trying so hard to be pretty
Night rains tap at my window
Winds of my thoughts passing by
She laughed when I tried to tell her
Hello only ends in goodbye
America gains another pound
Only time will bring some people around
Idols and flags are slowly melting
Another shower of rice
To pair it for some will suffice
The mouthful asks for second helpings
Moonshine pours through my window
The night puts it's laughter away
Clouds that pierce the illusion
That tomorrow would be as yesterday
