The full text is as follows:

Tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows.

Tomorrow will never come.

Worried that tomorrow, the world will go to Qiu Lai as a veteran in spring.

Watch the water flow eastward and the sunset at dusk.

What will tomorrow be like in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, how many tomorrows!

Waiting for tomorrow, everything will be wasted.

The world is tired of tomorrow, and tomorrow will be infinitely experienced.

In the morning, the water flows east, and now it grows in the west.

What will tomorrow be like in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.

Literal meaning of the full text:

Tomorrow is another tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are. I've been waiting for tomorrow all my life, and I haven't made any progress. The world is as tired of tomorrow as I am, and it will grow old after a year. Watching the river flow eastward in the morning and the sunset at night is the real life. How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow. Tomorrow is another tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are. Waiting for tomorrow every day, nothing has progressed. The world is as difficult as I am. I'm tired of tomorrow, and endless tomorrow is getting old. Watching the river flow eastward in the morning and the sunset at night is the real life. How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.

Full text appreciation:

The meaning of this poem is simple and straightforward, without any metaphorical content, but it expresses a kind of drawback that everyone has been trying to eliminate since ancient times, that is, many people use "tomorrow" as an excuse to avoid problems that should be solved immediately and let themselves be lazy until "everything goes wrong". In fact, as the author said, "Tomorrow can be a hundred years old", the most important thing is not tomorrow, but grasping the present.

The poem is called "Song of Tomorrow", and "Tomorrow" is an excuse for many people to be lazy and a reason to indulge themselves. How many "tomorrows" are there in life? If everything is put off until tomorrow, then the whole life will be wasted. "I live until tomorrow, and everything will be wasted" is a very painful understanding. The author takes himself as an example to illustrate the importance of "what can be done today, what can be accomplished today". In fact, people's life is short, and there are not so many "tomorrows". The most important thing is to seize "today" so as not to live a short life.

This poem mentions "tomorrow" seven times, repeatedly warning people to cherish time, do today's work well, don't put it off until tomorrow, and don't waste time. Poetry has simple meaning, clear language, easy-to-understand reasoning and great educational significance. It gives people the enlightenment that many things in the world can be fought for and recovered as much as possible, and only time is hard to retain. There is only one life, and time never looks back. Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today and the day after tomorrow. Say, "Do what you can do today." The poet warned people to firmly grasp the fleeting today. What can be done today must be done today. Don't pin any plans and hopes on the unknown tomorrow. Otherwise, "the day after tomorrow" will only end up as "all in vain" and accomplish nothing.
