If by life you were deceived,

假如生活欺骗了你，

Don't be dismal, don't be wild!

不要忧郁，也不要愤慨！

In the day of grief, be mild:

不顺心时暂且克制自己，

Merry days will come, believe.

相信吧，快乐之日就会到来。

Heart is living in tomorrow;

我们的心儿憧憬未来

Present is dejected here;

现今总是悲哀：

In a moment, passes sorrow;

一切都是暂时的，转瞬即逝，

That which passes will be dear.

而那逝去的终将变得可爱。
