Lyrics and translation 汪明荃 - 遥望白云里

遥望白云里

静静地企在校园外
我往往无限地沉醉
在望着快乐儿童在跳跃
我眼里不知不觉泪垂
微有叹息只觉光阴每日逝
年岁已长，使我身心有负累
人处社会 迫我必须戴面具
谁望见我心有泪

独自在冷酷路途上
常抬头遥望白云里
在念着往日儿时快乐事
到处有开心快乐伴随
无数昨天，洒过多少遍热泪
曾有理想 使我增添了负累
唯有爱心 使我抛开了面具
从没有半点顾虑
无数昨天，洒过多少遍热泪
曾有理想 使我增添了负累
唯有爱心 使我抛开了面具
才令我眼中带醉

Gazing at the White Clouds

I stand quietly outside the schoolyard,
And often find myself deeply enthralled,
Watching the happy children skip and jump,
Unnoticed tears welling in my eyes.
A sigh escapes my lips as I realize the fleeting days,
The weight of years takes its toll on my mind and body,
Life in society forces me to wear a mask,
Who sees the tears that lie within my heart?

I walk alone on a cold and unforgiving path,
Often lifting my head to gaze at the white clouds,
Recalling the joyful memories of my childhood days,
When laughter and happiness were my constant companions.
Countless yesterdays, I've shed so many tears,
Dreams and aspirations have only added to my burden,
Only love has the power to free me from my mask,
Without a single shred of concern or doubt.
Countless yesterdays, I've shed so many tears,
Dreams and aspirations have only added to my burden,
Only love has the power to free me from my mask,
And bring a soft, intoxicating glow to my eyes.
