Three Treasures
作词 : Sam Tsui/Casey Breves
作曲 : Sam Tsui/Casey Breves
我有三寶
The sage Laozi writes “Wo you san bao, chi er bao zhi”
持而保之
“I have three treasures. Keep them and protect them.”
我有三寶
But these treasures aren't rubies, gold, bitcoins..
They are virtues, which if followed closely,
may begin to illuminate the path to life everlasting…ha!
我有三寶
持而保之
Compassion, moderation, humility
Compassion, moderation, humility
The first treasure is compassion
Kindness, love
the tenderness of
A mother’s embrace,
the smile on your lover’s face
Goodness and grace never go out of fashion,
Lead with compassion
我有三寶
I have three treasures
持而保之
Keep and protect them
我有三寶
I have three treasures
持而保之
Heed and perfect them
Compassion, moderation, humility...
The second treasure:
Moderation
Less is more
Keep it simple, stupid
Waste not, want not, an economy of thought
To be one with god
Take all things in moderation
我有三寶
I have three treasures
持而保之
Keep and protect them
我有三寶
I have three treasures
持而保之
Heed and perfect them
Compassion, moderation, humility
The third treasure’s humility
Don’t show off, even if you want to
You don’t need to flaunt your talents
Find balance with your head down,
Don’t make a big sound,
Move in the background…..humility
There is no strength without compassion
No noble conquest without love
And moderation leads to bounty
Seek less of what you’re dreaming of
To be a leader one must follow
Fall behind to rise above
(simultaneous)
The first treasure is compassion
Kindness, love
the tenderness of
A mother’s embrace,
the smile on your lover’s face
Goodness and grace never go out of fashion,
Lead with compassion
(simultaneous)
The second treasure:
Moderation
Less is more
Keep it simple, stupid
Waste not, want not, an economy of thought
To be one with god
Take all things in moderation
(simultaneous)
The third treasure’s humility
Don’t show off, even if you want to
You don’t need to flaunt your talents
Find balance with your head down,
Don’t make a big sound,
Move in background…..humility
我有三寶
I have three treasures
持而保之
Keep and protect them
我有三寶
I have three treasures
持而保之
Heed and perfect them
Compassion, moderation, humility
Compassion, moderation, humility
Compassion, moderation, humility
我有三寶!
