作詞:葉芝 趙照 作曲:趙照
當你老了頭髮白了
睡意昏沉
當你老了走不動了
爐火旁打盹回憶青春
多少人曾愛你青春歡唱的時辰
愛慕你的美麗假意或真心
只有一個人還愛你虔誠的靈魂
愛你蒼老的臉上的皺紋
當我老了眼眉低垂
當你老了眼眉低垂
燈火昏黃不定
風吹過來你的消息
這就是我心裡的歌
當我老了我真希望
這首歌是唱給你的
變老的路上,要學會理解,因為只有理解別人,才會被別人理解。
變老的路上,要學會忍耐,因為事已成現實自己無法改變。
變老的路上,要學會寬容,因為人生在世誰能無過呢,人無完人。
When you are old - William Butler Yeats
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars
