That is right. This song was published in 1978. I remembered when I first saw this video on TV I was in elementary school, 1st or 2nd grade in HK. Time flies by so quickly. Sometime I really hope I can go back then and change mistakes I have made and make me a better person/student. Time can't be saved. Lives have to move on, unfortunately. When we are young, most of us never realized it. Once we get to 40s years old, time seems to be moving quickly. Another good and similar song by Sam is 每事問
From a young man's perspective - we can't change shit, we just endure it as it comes. At this point i doubt even knowing better would change much about it.

Here’s the possible song translation in our own words: (Introductory vocals) Students should do homeworks Instead of play football all the time, Beware that failing is the worst, so it is sad, your classmate can't help you. A student should study his/her books, Rather than fall in love every day & night, take care your ten subjects/classes in school, if those classes fail, you'll feel shameful, angry, and miserable. Chorus: ants find foods also, do nothing which is not good, young people should strive, you will stand alone one day. Students should think about their mistakes, otherwise, you will regret, human being should know his/her mistakes, Or else dependent people will suffer. (Chorus) Every single one student, We should memorize this song, Many crew people- re mi re do, Let’s sing this song together!
