我心愛潮曾狂涌，
星般海鷗高飛翔；
烈日炎炎掀泡沫，
迸濺岩石海岸上。
而今黃昏潮水落，
海鷗低回暗無光；
無阻思念如濤起，
永遠破碎祭哀傷。

Tides

LOVE in my heart was a fresh tide flowing
Where the starlike sea gulls soar;
The sun was keen and the foam was blowing
High on the rocky shore.
But now in the dusk the tide is turning,
Lower the sea gulls soar,
And the waves that rose in resistless yearning
Are broken forevermore.
