When this poem was given melody into music (Huyi Liu specifically set this poem to music in memory of Sunpu in 2015), we began to like the song immediately. So we translated the lyrics into English in our best.

也许我是单亲妈妈, 当唱副歌的时候, 原唱的声音让我强烈的想要找回爱的冲动. 原唱唱出了真实+岁月的无情.
謝謝中國新歌聲的葉妹妹讓我知道這首好歌
‘’一生只夠愛一個人‘’這種感情不論現在或從前都很珍貴，聽了莫名的感動
第一次聽完葉炫青唱完後不知不覺哭了！馬上來聽原唱！
感谢葉炫清介绍那么好听的歌
既悠遠又平實的意境，好感人
每一個人都在尋覓能相伴到老一半，太不易。
原曲也很棒! 叶妹妹也很棒! 不知不觉就被感动了
好声音对于我每次最期待的都是发现隐藏的好歌，回忆起去世的爷爷奶奶
這首歌不論翻唱 或原唱
大家都很強！ 有自己特色
聽到葉炫清後來聽原唱的👍🏻
heiloves 我也是
heiloves me 2
heiloves 我也是
+1 ：D
+1
各位，这就是原唱啊！刘胡轶是原唱，叶炫清是翻唱
比葉炫清更能唱出“早先”的感觉👍
听到“大家诚诚恳恳”的时候都快哭了。
一種感慨萬千的落寞。最後那句低吟，如同昏黃燈下的長影，寂寥慢行
听了 101 才过来的。。。
葉炫清真有實力，把這首歌唱紅了
+1 都是 叶炫清 带来的 人间温馨的歌曲。 又在一次寻到宝了
谢谢叶妹妹，让我认识这首歌
记得早先少年时
大家诚诚恳恳
说一句 是一句
清早上火车站
长街黑暗无行人
卖豆浆的小店冒着热气
从前的日色变得慢
车，马，邮件都慢
一生只够爱一个人
从前的锁也好看
钥匙精美有样子
你锁了 人家就懂了
中国好歌曲这个节目为什么停播了？太可惜了！
好懷念民國時期
Angela Liu 民国在呆湾啊。
現在還是民國阿
说得跟你见过民国啥样一样 xD
太爱葉炫清了
一生只够 爱一个人
从前的 盲婚瞎嫁 一句话就一辈子
互不认识 到白头偕老，多少流传的爱情故事来自 从前
原唱最有味道
有一點品冠的味道，演繹得很好，不愧是原唱
我很喜歡品冠的嗓音
真想聽他唱唱這首
我倒是觉得，不要这么一惊一乍的唱。更喜欢檀健次那种淡淡的处理，平缓、悠长，更有木心的味道。当然，人也年少秀气，相得益彰。

从前慢
Unhurried Old Days
诗作 Author: 木心 Sunpu (Muxin)
翻译 interpreter: Mingyan Duan, Yuxi Pan
记得早先少年时
Remember old days in my youth,
大家诚诚恳恳
We used to say only words
说一句，是一句
That spoke our true hearts.
清早上，火车站
Early morning in the train station,
长街黑暗无行人
Dark, empty was the long street
买豆浆的小店冒着热气
The soybean milk diner was steaming with heat
从前的日色变得慢
Time passed slowly in the past
车 马 邮件都慢
Carriage, horse, and mail were unhurried.
一生只够爱一个人
Life was too short to love more than the one who is right
从前的锁也好看
The lock was fine in the past.
钥匙精美有样子
The key was exquisite and fit.
你锁了，人家就懂了
You locked and he would get it.

(Another version)
从前慢
Slower old days
诗作 Author: 木心 Sunpu (Muxin)
翻译 interpreter: Mingyan Duan, Yuxi Pan
（I） remember when I was in my youth,
记得早先少年时
everyone is honest and sincere,
大家诚诚恳恳
in which time, every word said matters.
说一句，是一句
In the early morning, by the side of the train station,
清早上，火车站
dark, empty was the long street (＊ changed version)
长街黑暗无行人
The soybean milk from the small street-side store was still steaming with heat
(* changed version)
买豆浆的小店冒着热气
The light of sunset changed slowly in slower old days,
从前的日色变得慢
as slow as the wheeled carriage in the delivery of mails,
车 马 邮件都慢
In which time, a life-long time is just enough for falling into the one,
一生只够爱一个人
The locks in old days were also exquisite
从前的锁也好看
Keys in the past time were elaborately-designed in beautiful patterns,
钥匙精美有样子
When you locked it,
你锁了
passengers would get it without a word
人家就懂了
* 请多指教 *
Yuxi Pan 2nd version is semantically enchanting.
frizzyfroggy Hi thanks. I personally like the 2nd version. too. But the first one which is majorly my friend's work looks more like the original poem. So, I like it , 2.
YP I might attempt to give it a go some other time.
聽原作曲人唱 有種樸實的味道
這首歌讓我想起了一個人
The young girl sings much better...sang with much feeling 👍👍👍
Do you knwo where i cam find the original song?
這真的更有感覺
好听👍👍
想起了我的父母模糊的身影，想你们
葉炫清帶我來听原唱
最好的版本還是洪辰
想知道最开头是越剧吗？
這個唱得比較好..
真的...
跟随小叶同志的脚步来的
my girlfriend told me to listen to this song I have no clue what they are saying
你锁了 人家就懂了=> 不懂
我猜是不是因為一生只能愛一個人 所以心已為愛人鎖上 別人懂了 就不會對你有意思了
傳統節操的美德，鑰匙與鎖 喻為男女生的忠貞
钥匙精美有样子，我低头嫖了一眼我弟弟。
楊亞力 弟弟是無辜的
锁门了就是家里没人都出门了 大家想像力太丰富😁过去人家平时都不锁门的
重點是...這原唱是誰啊？
湘庭曾 洪尘吧
片頭有示
劉胡鐵
刘胡轶
ㄉㄉㄉㄉㄉㄉdddddddddd
為什麼要做作？
前面那段前缀真是败笔
