| Tempus carpite, quom dies sunt brevitates | 你们要爱惜当下的光阴, 因为时日飞逝 | Cherish the present, for the days lasts in such brevity, |
| Ergo nolite crastinum timere | 却莫要畏惧未至的明晨 | but fear not the forthcoming day. |

Nolite ergo solliciti esse in crastinum. Crastinus enim dies sollicitus erit sibi ipsi: sufficit diei malitia sua.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
- The second and fourth lines of the lyrics may be a reference to Matthew 6:34:
