船 The Boat

輕輕的波浪,搖蕩著小船。 贈我爸爸六十載歡笑。
萬家燈火, 不理世事回漩, 滾滾紅塵, 痴痴笑笑。

滔滔的狂潮, 衝擊著大船。 我告別二十載歡笑, 破笑為愁。
告別了香江,燈火暗盤旋, 滔滔不絕二十載, 懷疑育深仇。

我們乘不同的船來, 我們坐同樣的船去。
我們來得偶然, 我們去是必然。

爸爸乘搖蕩的小船來, 面對輕輕的波浪。
我乘坐大船潛逃而去, 面對驚濤與駭浪。

巨船撞破大小的船隻。 巨浪粉碎美麗的身體。
暴風吹襲美麗的奇蹟。 暴雨淹沒大小的問題。

我們乘不同的船來, 我們坐同樣的船去。
我們來得偶然, 我們去是必然。

暴風吹襲美麗的奇蹟。 暴雨淹沒大小的問題。

The Boat

The gentle waves swayed the small boat. It gave my father sixty years of laughter.
Thousands of lights were shining. He ignored the turbulence of the world. Billowing in the joy of living, he laughed freely.

The surging frenzy hit the big ship. I said goodbye to the joy.
Laughter turned to grief. I said goodbye to the beautiful harbour. The lights swirled into darkness. Twenty years of doubts nurture the hatred.

We came by different boats. We went in the same kind of boat.
We came by accident. It was inevitable that we would leave.

My dad came in a swaying small boat, facing the gentle waves.
I fled in a big boat, facing stormy and rough seas.

The giant ship smashed into boats, large and small. The huge waves shattered the beautiful body.
The storm blew away the beautiful miracle. Heavy rain drowned the questions, big and small.

We came by different boats. We went in the same kind of boat.
We came by accident. It was inevitable that we would leave.

The storm blew away the beautiful miracle. Heavy rain drowned the questions, big and small.

On Shan Kwong Road

One step, three steps, five steps, seven steps, The child in a blue shirt ran through the red gate.

Jump left, jump right, jump up, jump down, Everyone jumped with satisfaction under the phoenix tree.

Precious tree, precious wood, precious sky, precious ground Children learning invaluable knowledge.

Awakening, becoming aware, understanding, learning morals, Schoolchildren realising the five colours of life.

Morning light, the gaze, light on the mountain, as light streams on the road, students learn righteously and the free school moves forward bravely.

Discuss every topics, offer the best education. The lotus, the connection, the association, Understand, observe, be aware of the country. The school has many hidden treasures, all talented people.

Red pillars, red tiles, red eaves, Up and down the stairs, we discussed Buddha’s teaching. Small child, yellow soil, yellow wall, Beside the swing, we look for the secrets.

Morning light, the gaze, light on the mountain, As light streams on the road, students learn righteously and the free school moves forward bravely.

After a few years of studying together, we have very good times together. Where to, where are we, where to go from here.

Good education enlightens the children, The Orient, be hospitable, eastern wind.

Nine winding roads, nine strong words, nine stable hills Ninety years of helping the poor and enlightening tens of thousands of children.

Morning light, the gaze, light on the mountain, As light streams on the road, students learn righteously and the free school moves forward bravely.

靈感–寶覺小學成立於1931年,當時是一所女子免費佛教學校,至今已有90年曆史。 鳳凰木也稱為Royal Poinciana; 它有明亮的紅色花朵,可以散佈到60尺寬。 我在那裡度過了很多快樂的時光。 Inspiration – Po Kok Primary School, founded in 1931 as a free and Buddhist school for girls in Hong Kong, turned 90 years. The Phoenix tree is also called the Royal Poinciana; it has clusters of bright red flowers, and can spread up to 60 feet wide. I spent a lot of my happy time there.
