1.WAITING FORYOU
Waiting foryou is so warm.
Even I see astray bee flying
Only towardsthe winter.
Even now.
A small houseat the top of a tree
And no onelives in.
But my heartis there waiting for you
That is sosweet.
Yes, verysmall, like an ant.
My heart islike the wings
In a seasonunder the sun.
Waiting foryou, drinking a liquor
Of the smileyou left last night.
2003
等你
等你是如此温暖。
即使我看见一只迷途的蜜蜂飞翔
只向着冬天。
甚至是现在。
一栋小小的房子在树梢上
里面没有人居住。
但我的心在那里等你
那是如此美好。
是的,很小,像一只蚂蚁。
我的心像它的翅膀
在阳光下的某一个季节里。
等你,喝着酒
是你昨晚留下的微笑。
2003年
2.ORANGE
Freely, in fact, they sing only one song ---
They float on the water of songs,
On the dropped water of songs. And
Are they poems to me? And,
Seemingly, they
Haven't searched out another floating color.
In both their hands holding an orange
On the surface;
They enjoy
Concealing themselves
From the edge
Of the water,
With the sun
They have things to say.
桔
坦率地说实际上他们只唱一首歌 ——
他们漂浮在歌声的水面上,
在歌声的水滴上,那么
他们对我来说是诗歌吗?还有,
看上去他们没有找出另一种漂浮着的颜色。
表面上,
他们的双手都握着一只桔子;
他们满足于
从水的边缘
将他们自己隐藏起来,
带着阳光
他们其实有话要说。
3.WHOSE MESSAGE IS THAT?
I nearly havenothing to fear
Except do alittle for you
And for my own nights,
All is for anormal day.
What is thetime we can go forth on true?
What is thetime you and I can get back?
You have beenthere already;
You have beenthere already.
那是谁的消息
我几乎没什么可以害怕的
除了为你做一点点事
也为我自己的夜晚,
所有这些只为了普通的一天。
何时我们可以真实地往前走?
何时你和我可以回来?
你已经在那里了;
你已经在那里了。
4.THE MOON
The mostspecial quotations
Are always
In the sky,
Or it will belike ones of the visions─
Which areshining?
Every moment,
Mysticallights
Are coming.
月亮
最为特别的引语
总是
在天上,
或者会象此景象中类似的一个——
哪些在闪光?
每时每刻
神秘的光芒
正不断地过来。
5
Smalls aremissing.
5
细小的在丧失。
6.BUTTERFLIES
Butterflies were once
Looking for a beam of sunshine,
A falling season
And an existent swing of memories.
Butterflies are usually
Brought into a silent valley
Of emergence
By all patterns.
Butterflies' eyes are
A little like ours.
蝴蝶
蝴蝶曾经
寻求一束阳光,
一个转秋的季节
和一个现存的记忆的秋千。
蝴蝶通常
被带进一个浮现出来的
寂静溪谷
用所有的图案。
蝴蝶的眼睛
有一点点像我们。
7
When a day starts in thewonderful sky,
There is the golden thinking in it.
We are so happy,
We are in a simple life.
We have the best way of doing things.
Oh, the sun is over all of us, and
Suddenly, we fear
We are in abeautiful loneliness.
7
当一天开始在美妙的天空,
那是金色的思想。
我们如此幸福,
我们朴素地生活。
我们有最好的做事方式。
哦,太阳在我们每个人的头顶,而
突然,我们害怕
我们身处美丽的孤独中。
8.THE RINER
Every one islike a river
In thesummer: who could be feeling that
Three levelsof the water of the river?
Oh, the firstlevel is hot.
Because it isjust facing the sun directly, and
The secondlevel is warm, why?
Oh, becauseit is under the hot of the beautiful surface! But
How about thelast level of the water
Of theriverbed?
Oh --
May the onesthey are really loving
Know that.
河
每一个人就像夏天的
一条河:谁能感觉
这河水的三种层面?
哦,第一层是热的。
因为它直接面对太阳。
第二层是温暖的,为什么?
哦,因为它在这美丽水面的热度之下!可是
这河水的最后一层
会是怎样?
哦──
也许真正爱着的人们
才会知道。
9.IF
If we could be really heart to heart, wewould get younger;
If we could really understand each other,we would not fear death any more;
And if my hands be in yours, that would be a miracle;
Yes, that was.
Some of them are as easy as the sunshine’s getting to the dark;
But some are like the air that won’t be away.
What is the air? To me, it is real life...
如果
如果真诚,我们就会年轻;
如果理解,我们就不怕死亡;
如果携起手,就该是奇迹;
是的,应该是的。
其中一些易如阳光抵达黑暗,
而有些如同空气不会离开。
这空气是什么?对于我,那是真实的生活…
10.THE SUN
A day is just like the sun
From the sky,
With flying birds, and
Clouds in many uncanny ways.
Then the air told me it is from nature;
However it is actually from the heart itself.
It is hopefully
From both......
The sun sometimes is reflecting
More lights.
In the most days,
The sun leads us to believe
That we know each other—
We do not understand it really,
But we need it.
10
那最美的
是任何从
夏天而来的记忆,和
来自这片我们生活着的
土地的回想!
哦,等着下一个
同样是美好的事物,
我的心!
过来。
“——到这小河之上的
声声禅歌之前。”
它已在不断告诉这片土地本身
爱并不容易。
11.THE SUN
A day is justlike the sun
From the sky,
With flyingbirds, and
Clouds inmany uncanny ways.
Then the airtold me it is from nature;
However it isactually from the heart itself.
It ishopefully
From both......
The sunsometimes is reflecting
More lights.
In the mostdays,
The sun leadsus to believe
That we knoweach other—
We do notunderstand it really,
But we needit.
太阳
一天恰如太阳
从天而降,
伴着飞鸟,
离奇的云朵。
于是空气告诉我它来自自然;
然而它其实来自感情自身。
但愿它
来自二者......
太阳不时地反射着
更多的光芒。
多数的日子里,
太阳使我们相信
我们彼此相识——
我们其实不了解它,
但我们需要它。
12
Who's that?
Why it comes to me?
It's the only colour of a cloudy afternoon,
There's no talking, no waving, even it forgets to fly,
It's so quiet, endless quietness.
Now, it's breathing, one thousand years before
It's happily flying.
12
他是谁?
来干嘛?
它是阴郁的下午唯一的色彩,
没有谈话,没有招手,甚至忘了飞翔,
多么安静,无穷无尽的寂静。
现在,它在呼吸,一千年以前
它在幸福地飞翔。
13.THE PLAINWATER
Sometimes lifeis as sweet as honey,
Sometimes lifeis in mighty waves.
In the most ofthe time,
Life ishopeful.
But now,
With thinking,
Life iswalking towards
The region ofpeace, and
Actually, lifeis like the plain water.
平淡如水
有时生活甜如蜜,
有时则大起大落。
多数的时候,
生活充满希望。
但是现在,
伴着思想,
生活正在迈向
平和的疆域,
其实,生活平淡如水。
