Song lyrics
Original singer: Zhao Zhao
Lyrics: Zhao Zhao, William Butler· Yeats
Composer: Zhao Zhao
When you are old and your hair is white and you are sleepy, when you are old and can’t walk,
beside the fire Take a nap and recall your youth. How many people loved you when you were young and happy?
I admire your beauty, falsely or sincerely. Only one person still loves your pious soul.
I love you when you are old. The wrinkles on your face, when you get old and your eyebrows droop,
The lights are dim, the wind blows your news, this is the song in my heart,
When you get old, your hair White, sleepy, when you are old and unable to walk,
Doze by the fire and recall your youth, how many people loved you when you were young and happy,
I admire your beauty Pretend or sincere, only one person still loves your devout soul.
I love the wrinkles on your old face. When I am old, my eyebrows are drooped and the lights are dim and uncertain.
The wind Blow your news, this is the song in my heart, I really hope when I am old,
This song is sung to you.
