Lyrics by Principal Lin (XiaDongPu School principal)

 

如果真的有那么一个人

If there really were such a person

如果真的存在过那些事

If such a thing really existed

如果你会相信那些传说

If you could believe this legend

遥远的记忆萌发新的理想

Far away memories springing a new ideal

一点光辉可以在旷野上

A slight radiance can be found in the wilderness

指引无数的追寻

Pointing the way to countless pursuits

 

如果真的有这么一群人

If there really were such a group of people

如果真的发生了那些事

If something like this really happened

那么这些事都将变成传说

Then this will surely become legend

不同的面孔共同的信念

Different faces but shared convictions

一生执着只因在眼睛里

A life’s pursuits only caused by the many cravings

看到太多的渴求

in one’s eye

 

没有那么多的枷锁

Without shackles

没有只是叹息而已

Not merely sighing (but also acting, also doing)

你的脚步你的坚持

Your footsteps and perseverance

解放了多少愚昧的阻隔

Have liberated so many ignorant people from isolation

创造了一个又一个传说

And have created one legend after another
