This song was taught to me by a beautiful Belgian girl in London in the summer of '73. I had never heard it before. She was 17, i turned 20 in her embrace. She's back there in my memory and out in the world somewhere. I'll never forget her or the song, which brings back . back a flood of memories. Thank you, Ralph

老当益壮宁移白首之心，穷且益坚不坠青云之志。

Thank you to the person who posted the video. I love this song as it was one of my mother' favourites, however she passed away last year. I have been trying to learn this on the guitar but no luck so far.

Perfect Job and very good Memories!

This is the first song I learned to play all the way through. That was long ago. I'm an old fart now, but I was a very young fart when I learned it. Perhaps I was not a young fart...perhaps I was a young whippersnapper....I have alzheimers now so I can't remember shit.
