又長了一歲 （A year older..)

又長了一歲，      
是否比往年更長了一智？   
是否比往年要處事圓滑？ 
是否比往年更了解自己？ 
是否比往年要快樂些許？ 

又長了一歲，                    
已把以往的不快忘掉了？   
已把從前的不舍放下了？    
已把長久的執著拋去了？   
已把多年的心鎖解開了？   

又長了一歲，                      
去年的今天，獨自身處異鄉；
明年的今天，我將會在何處？
每年的今天，總是無限感慨；
往后的今天，我是否會快樂？

又長了一歲，
我要加倍努力，為未來打拼！
我想找個人陪，為愛情圓滿！
我會更加用心，為品性修行！
我定積極樂觀，為幸福快樂！！


*Translation

A year older, yet
am I any wiser? 
have I become more tactful? 
did I get to know myself better? 
am I any happier than the year before?

A year older, yet
have I let go of my old heartaches? 
have I given up my past disillusions? 
have I finally allayed my long-held insistence? 
have I freed my heart from self-imposed prison?

A year older, and on this day
last year, I was alone in a foreign country.
next year, where will I be?
these past years, always come with a tinge of sadness and regrets.
every year, will I be happy?

A year older, and
I shall work hard, for my future!
I will start looking, for that special someone!
I am gonna strive, for my personal betterment!
I will stay optimistic, for my joy and happiness!!
