My primary school song
The Maris Stella High School school song
曲：沈光辉 词：梁厚祥
煌煌海星 圣母圣名 炳炳烺烺 永放光明
高悬世海 照彻狮城 指明正路 引导前程
振兴教化 乐育群英 阐扬学术 陶冶性情
励以名节 持以坚贞 勋以道德 动以至诚
勿荒勿怠 精益求精 勤勉忠勇 校训是行
This is my primary school song which I sang daily after reciting the national pledge and singing the national anthem, AND saying the Lord's prayer.
I am from a secular English speaking family. Each day I would go through this ritual during morning assembly without understanding any of it. In fact, I still don't understand the school song.
Thinking back, I'm like ...
WTF????!!!!
OK on second thought, I'm ashamed of myself. Can someone translate this for me please?
