Brighten Me with Virtues ~ HKU 100 years theme song

The HKU 100 years Theme Song 
has a deep meaningful lyric with an uplifting melody. I cannot stop listening to it; can't help but also feel proud to be part of this great university and eager to start learning Cantonese. 

As for me, I believe that the heart of research is "Innovation" and within it is a "Sincere Passion" to better our society and our world without forgetting those who are closest to us such as our family and friends. 
Let's reach "Excellence" with the spirit of wisdom and prudence diligently. 

English Translation of Lyrics: 
"Brighten Me with Virtues" 
by Sam Hui, Kay Tse, and Adrian Chow

The Road made by those who walked before us, 
kindles a flame with insight, 
Knowledge enlightening our souls, 
with a spirit of exploration we seek after wisdom. 
Seasons change, but our heritage remains. 
This journey of a hundred years has nurtured us, 
sharpened our vision and broadened our horizon. 

Brighten us with virtues; brighten us with the clarity, and 
perseverance of corsage. 
Let wisdom be our shield, 
guard our intellect as we tread the path, 
even through the darks night our spirit remains ablaze, 
abounding in truth - this is our motto. 
Standing fast against the wind and storm - this is our motto. 

We blaze a trail, following our hearts, pursuing truth; 
seeking insight, we build the future. 
With wisdom, we embrace freedom and commitment, 
discerning right from wrong, like the holy fire, 
burning ever brighter when challenged. 
The world advances, a heritage built by generations. 
From the last hundred years to the next, 
We learn from history, we create history.
