Lyrics

Transcript Official Chinese Translation English Translation
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.
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.

Trivia

Etymology

  • Tempus Carpite "Seize the Time" in the title and lyrics may be a reference to the Latin aphorism Carpe diem "seize the day," taken from the Odes, a work by the Roman poet Horace.
    • The second and fourth lines of the lyrics may be a reference to Matthew 6:34:
      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.
