With just over ten minutes to go, elementary and university students were continuing intensive rehearsals. The air above the stage was filled with the sound of instruments and conversation.
還剩十幾分鐘，小學(xué)生和大學(xué)生們?nèi)栽诰o鑼密鼓地排練。樂器聲、交談聲在舞臺上空各自為陣。
Silence fell as Li Haiying took his place on the conductor's podium. As the composer of the Song of the Seven Sons, Li found today's rendition particularly meaningful, despite his numerous past performances. "Performing the Song of the Seven Sons in this venue holds profound significance," he said.
一切在李海鷹邁上指揮臺時回歸肅靜。作為《七子之歌》的作曲者，即便指揮過很多遍，他仍然覺得今天這版相當(dāng)特殊。“在這個地方去唱《七子之歌》有特別的意義。”
The choral performance was held at Tsinghua University, the alma mater of the song's lyricist Wen Yiduo. Positioned 500 meters from the conductor's podium near the Wenting Pavilion, stands the statue of Wen Yiduo, exuding a quiet poise as though attentively listening.
這是在清華大學(xué)，作詞者聞一多的母校。在離指揮臺500米的聞亭，聞一多的雕像靜靜佇立，仿佛在凝神傾聽。
If he were here today, Wen would perceive a completely different emotion from what he felt when composing the lyric. In the words of Li Haiying, the present feeling is one of "joy".
不過，他會從中聽到和自己的詞作完全不同的情緒。用李海鷹的話說，是“高興”。
Li said, "When Wen Yiduo penned this poem, he did it with profound sorrow and indignation. By the time I went to compose music for these lyrics in 1997, Macao's return was within sight. My feelings towards it certainly changed."
李海鷹說，“因為聞一多寫這個詩歌的時候，他是很悲憤的。到1997年我去寫的時候，已經(jīng)眼看著回歸了，那我的心情也已經(jīng)跟他不一樣了。”
Today, a quarter-century after its return to China, Macao has experienced notable revitalization, with a vibrant feeling on its streets. Li Haiying says its lively night scenes resemble "a celestial realm".
在回歸25年后的今天，澳門更是煥然一新，光彩奪目，李海鷹稱其繁華夜景如同“天上銀河落人間”。
Besides joy, the Song of the Seven Sons now resonates with an additional layer of sentiment. "I feel proud," said Wang Xuanhao of the Beijing Cone Orchestra Harmonia Children's Choir.
因此，除了喜悅，《七子之歌》如今又多了一層情緒。“我覺得自豪。”來自松果合唱團(tuán)的王鉉豪說。
What makes this performance of the Song of the Seven Sons even more special is the participation of the new torchbearer of the song, Long Chi-lam. She remotely harmonizes with the choir and symphony orchestra at Tsinghua University's Meng Min Wei Concert Hall, adding a unique dimension to the rendition.
讓這版《七子之歌》更加特殊的，是《七子之歌》新一代傳唱人龍紫嵐的參與。她與在清華大學(xué)蒙民偉音樂廳的合唱團(tuán)、交響樂團(tuán)相互配合，隔空領(lǐng)唱。
In his final speech in 1946, Wen Yiduo passionately proclaimed, "Our dawn is near, yet this is the darkest moment before dawn."
1946年，在生前《最后一次講演》里，聞一多曾滿腔悲憤地說：“光明就在我們眼前，而現(xiàn)在正是黎明之前那個最黑暗的時候。”
Now, the children, raised in the cradle of peace, resoundingly declare in their clearest voices that the dawn of light has finally arrived.
如今，被和平托舉著長大的孩子們，用最清澈的聲音告訴他，光明已經(jīng)到來。
