蟋蟀在堂，歲聿其莫。今我不樂，日月其除。
無已大康，職思其居。好樂無荒，良士瞿瞿。
蟋蟀在堂，歲聿其逝。今我不樂，日月其邁。
無已大康，職思其外。好樂無荒，良士蹶蹶。
蟋蟀在堂，役車其休。今我不樂，日月其慆。
無已大康，職思其憂。好樂無荒，良士休休。
蟋蟀
蟋蟀鑽進房內，一年快結束了，
今天不再行樂，時光不復返啊，
歡樂且勿縱度，想到國難家患，
行樂不要太荒誕，記住賢士良言。
蟋蟀鑽進房內，一年又近尾聲了，
今天不再行樂，時光太匆匆啊，
歡樂且無縱度，勿忘家患國難，
人生不要太荒誕，記住賢士良言。
蟋蟀鑽進房內，車馬也休息了，
今天不再行樂，時光不停止啊，
歡樂且無縱度，工作要盡職守，
行樂不可太荒誕，記住賢士良言。
When the cricket moves into the house,
Year's end is drawing near.
If you don't enjoy life today,
Time evaporates without a trace.
But don't live life to excess.
Think also of your responsibilities.
Enjoy, but don't be idle.
Remember the golden adages.
When the cricket moves into the house,
Year's end is drawing near.
If you don't enjoy life today,
Days, months will not return.
But don't live life to excess.
Think also of your patriotic duty.
Enjoy, but don't be idle.
Remember the golden rules.
When the cricket moves into the house,
Horses and wagons are at rest.
If you don't enjoy life today,
Days, months will fly by.
But don't live life to excess.
Think also of your duty to others.
Enjoy, but don't be idle.
A good person maintains a balance.
