Alas, Time, What Tricks Are You Conjuring?     Hsu ChiCheng

Days turn from brightness and brilliance to dimness and dullness
The setting sun sets in the blink of an eye
It cannot be checked, nor can it be drawn back
Alas, Time, what tricks are you conjuring?

Green leaves wither for no reason
What is foreseeable is soon to fall
Severe winter follows closely behind
Alas, Time, what tricks are you conjuring?

Jetblack hair turns snow-white all at once
And is pulled out one by one
In a short while a scene of bare mountain
Alas, Time, what tricks are you conjuring?

Like a speeding car, you tear about
Careless of any traffic accident
Even those who know how to preserve themselves fail to duck and dodge
Alas, Time, what tricks are you conjuring?

附中文原詩如后:

        時光呀，你玩著什麼魔術    許其正

日子由光明燦亮而晦暗不明了

夕陽一剎那就墬落

檔不了，拉不住

唉，時光呀，你玩著什麼魔術？

鮮綠的葉子無緣由地枯萎了

可預見的很快要凋落了

寒冬緊接著跟在後面

唉，時光呀，你玩著什麼魔術？

黑亮的頭髮一下就覆滿白雪了

然後被一根根拔除

童山濯濯的景象倏地出現

唉，時光呀，你玩著什麼魔術？

如一輛疾馳的車子，你橫衝直撞

不顧慮是否會出車禍

連善於保護自己的都閃避不及

唉，時光呀，你玩著什麼魔術？
