Man is born good.
Natures are close, but habits separate them.
Without instruction, nature will change.
The way to teach is to be focused.
It is not right for a child not to learn.
If one does not learn when young, what will he do when old?
If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool.
If a person does not learn, he will not know righteousness.
[Verse]
At the beginning of life, human nature is good.
The gurgling stream, the heart untainted.
Natures are similar, but habits separate.
The wind blows the branches, and the leaves gradually scatter.
[Chorus]
The way of teaching is to be focused.
Like the starlight that fills the mountains and rivers.
Without teaching, nature will change.
Like fog obscuring a clear sky.
[Verse 2]
If a child does not learn, he is not fit for the job.
If he is not diligent in his youth, what will he rely on in his old age?
Unpolished jade will not become a useful object.
Only through polishing can its brilliance be revealed.
[Bridge]
If a person does not learn, he does not know the truth.
A boat without a rudder drifts to nowhere.
If you wish to learn, be willing to focus.
A beacon will guide you through the maze.
[Chorus]
The way of teaching is to be focused.
Like the starlight that fills the mountains and rivers.
Without teaching, nature will change.
Like fog obscuring a clear sky.
[Outro]
At the beginning of life, human nature is good.
The gurgling stream, the dream untainted.
Natures are similar. Xi Xiangyuan
The Way is in the heart and will never fade away

[Verse]
At the beginning of life, human nature is good. A gurgling stream, untainted by the mind. Natures are similar, but habits separate them. The wind blows through the branches, and the leaves gradually scatter.
[Chorus]
The way of teaching is to be focused. Like starlight scattering over the mountains and rivers. Without teaching, nature will shift. Like fog obscuring a clear sky.

If a child does not learn, he is not fit for the job. Without diligence in youth, what will he rely on in old age? Unpolished jade will not become a useful object. Only through polishing can its brilliance be revealed.
