KWU传统

O 'Wesleyan,母校

卫斯理人,亲爱的卫斯理人!
The days may come, the days may go.
But still our hearts in mem’ry cling
To those college days of long ago.

The color scraps, the student pranks,
The calls we made at 霍尔斯凯勒,
在斯莫基河畔的野餐,
We recall them all, we love them all.

Thru youth, thru prime and when the days
我们收割的时候将到;
Thru all we’ll bear the mem’ries dear,
Of those golden days at the Wesleyan.

Then when perchance we’re far away,
And cares of life to each are come,
We’ll not forget, e’en then to pray,
给卫斯理人的,亲爱的卫斯理人.

Let’s give a big “HOO-RAY“对卫斯理来说,

We’ve got the winningest team in the land.

让我们给一个大大的“好”!“对卫斯理来说,

We’re gonna be number one if we can.

我们要战斗! 战斗! 战斗!

你真的可以依靠,

战斗! 战斗! 战斗! 到V-I-C-T-O-R-Y.

Let’s give a big “HOO-RAY“对卫斯理来说,

我们会赢得胜利的!
