中文歌詞

莘莘學子 一代天驕 春風不語 歲月迢迢
窮經問道 勵志凌霄 拳拳赤心 以報家邦
長風在側 星火未消 少年志遠 山河為標
風雲乍起 暴雨如澆 腔腔熱血 為民呼號
天地翻覆 塵世動搖 一身赴義 不問今朝

父母漸老 人世相遙 猶念小子 未歸故巢
空庭無聲 燈火將消 無冢可祭 風雪為悼
天驕已遠 山河低號 一腔熱血 付與荒濤
天驕已遠 不見歸道 唯餘風雪 替我哭號
春風仍在 人已不在 天地長默 歲月長哀

Lyrics(English)

Elegy for the Unfinished Spring

by Taihua

Spring arrived with quiet light,
Young hearts reaching for the sky.
Dreams were written in the wind,
Hope was shining in their eyes.
Every road seemed wide and free,
Every dawn a melody.

Then the clouds concealed the sun,
Silence filled the air.
What was blooming in the spring
Vanished into prayer.

Unfinished spring,
Still lives in me.
Though the flowers fade away,
Your voices never leave.
When the spring winds softly rise,
I still hear your song.
Time moves on,
But spring remembers.

Books were left with empty pages,
Songs were left unsung.
Morning waited at the gate
For forever-young.
Mountains watched in silent grief,
Rivers carried dreams.
Nothing ever disappeared
As distant as it seems.

Every blossom tells the sky
Love can never die.
Though the years may drift away,
Memories survive.

Unfinished spring,
Still lives in me.
Though the flowers fade away,
Your voices never leave.
When the spring winds softly rise,
I still hear your song.
Time moves on,
But spring remembers.

Windows glow in quiet homes,
Someone waits alone.
Footsteps never cross the door,
Yet hope still lingers on.
Snow will fall,
Spring returns,
Love remembers every name.

Unfinished spring,
Lives on forever.
Though the seasons come and go,
Your light remains.
When tomorrow greets the dawn,
May the world be kind.
Spring remains,
Love remains,
Hope remains.

Spring remembers.
Love remembers.

作者感言(中文）

《悼天驕》寫給那些懷抱理想、勤於求學、認真生活的年輕人。

他們以光為念，以志為行，在平凡歲月中不斷向上，也在關鍵時刻堅守內心的信念與正直，以自己的方式承擔責任、踐行所信。這些選擇，無論結果如何，都值得被靜靜銘記。

作品採用四言結構，取古典詩意之簡，寄當代情感之深，希望在克制的文字中，留下青春、親情與歲月的迴響。

「天驕」並非指向某一個人，而是象徵所有心懷理想、堅守良知、熱愛生命的人

願此歌留住青春的光，也留住人心深處那份永不熄滅的溫暖。

Author’s Note(English)

The creation of Lament for the Hero was an act of carving a memorial out of grief. In the face of a life cut short and a grand ambition left unfulfilled, words often feel fragile. Yet, I found it necessary to let the music carry the weight of what could not be said.

In this piece, “Heavenly Pride” (天驕) is not merely a title; it represents the brilliant, burning spirit of youth—a soul who, like the rising stars or the first spark of a revolution, dares to challenge the encroaching darkness. The lyrics contrast the grandeur of one’s aspirations—to serve the nation and protect the people—with the stark, lonely reality of the aftermath: a quiet courtyard, a fading lamp, and a grave that cannot be visited.

The transition from the “burning blood” (腔腔熱血) of a youthful patriot to the “barren waves” (荒濤) that swallow his memory is a meditation on the cost of sacrifice. We see a hero who, despite knowing the path might not lead back home, chooses to step into the wind and snow regardless. The repeated refrain—that the hero is gone, and only the wind remains to weep—is meant to evoke that lingering ache we feel for those who left us too soon, whose footsteps have been buried by time, but whose spirits continue to echo in the mountains.

I hope this song serves as a vessel for remembrance—a way to honor not just the tragedy of a lost life, but the undying resolve of a heart that dared to love its people more than its own existence.
