當孔子遇上華爾街.英文版
感受佚名說 新的嘗試用(論語)來寫歌 .大家聽聽看.孔子承認追求財富是人的本性，但強調「義」必須優先於「利」.「富與貴，是人之所欲也；不以其道得之，不處也。」（里仁篇）強調如果不是正當手段得來的財富，君子是不會接受的。「富而可求也，雖執鞭之士，吾亦為之。」（述而篇）說明只要是正當工作，即使是基層職位，孔子也願意去求財。

英文歌詞-段落結構
[Intro ticking clock, plucked strings of traditional Chinese pipa]
[Verse 1 – Calm, narrative voice]
Wall Street bell falls
Some laugh wildly in champagne
Some explode before screens
Digits flicker like dancing codes
[Verse 2: Rhythm emerges: steady electronic beat intertwines with abacus clicks]
In a corner, an old man
His old robe frayed at the hem
He doesn't watch the screens, doesn't chase signals
Just smiles at his little abacus (hey)
He says, ‘Wealth may be sought
Even as a lowly clerk, I'd willingly queue’
‘But if riches are steeped in deceit and greed
What one grasps is but fleeting dust’
[Pre-Chorus music fades, echoing reverberations]
Wealth and honour gained unjustly
Are but fleeting clouds to me
Scattered by the wind, as if never having graced this world
I speak not of grand principles, only to leave my heart a space of stillness
In this zero-sum game, I ask you: who truly wins in the end?
[Chorus surges with grandeur, East meets West in instrumental fusion]
Wealth and honour gained unjustly
Are but fleeting clouds to me
How high the towers rise, They cannot shield the soul's late-night questioning
Let greed retreat a step, Leave a narrow path for the spirit to follow
Take only what is rightfully earned, Then none will resent your gain, and you shall stand firm
[Verse 3: Powerful beat, intensified synth effects]
I say: ‘When the people are content, what lack remains for the ruler?
If all were wealthy, what more would they seek to pursue?’
The old man shifts an abacus bead
Its sound so faint, as if confiding in time
[Bridge: Music slows, erhu or flute solo]
‘After wealth comes teaching: if the heart lacks roots
A room full of gold and jade is but a single inch of wilderness’
"Balance sheets climb higher, yet in dreams you crash
Awaken with empty hands—who then would recognise your name?"
Deep within Wall Street, neon glows like a receding tide
He slowly stowed his abacus, his silhouette lost in the sea of people
Leaving but one phrase, echoing in my mind
Like a bell tolling—once, twice—striking deep within my heart
[Bridge: Energy surges, culminating in climax]
Wealth and honour gained unjustly are but fleeting clouds to me
No screen's brilliance can mask the ashes in my eyes
I speak not of grand principles, only seek a haven for the heart
In this zero-sum game, what truth remains when all is said and done?
[Outro: Fading, final chime. Abacus beads clatter.]
Wealth and honour gained unjustly
Are but fleeting clouds to me
Those who gain the whole world yet lose their true selves
Let desire pause for a moment, grant conscience a seat at the table
Act righteously first, then take what is due—only then may one speak of future prospects
