    樸素的午後2點

 

這淡妝的午後

心情像樹梢處懸掛的歎息

心事的窗戶暗啞地開了又關

漫長而堅硬的時間裏

靜默的遠山   

追逐的海水

飛翔的魚

在陽光點亮的微塵中

若有所思地走入視野

 

這樣樸素的午後

無聲的時間安靜地湧來

無數的幻想一節節閃亮

在雲彩的背後快樂地奔跑

去年的草莓

想問候的人

氤氳著的艾草

這來來去去的午後

這寬闊河流一樣的午後

我是一枚自由的落葉

 

 

    2 o’clock on a modest afternoon

 

On this afternoon of modest makeup

Atop the tree hangs a sigh from my heart

Bitter-sweet shutters open and close in melancholy

As time runs extra long and hard

Wordless yonder mountains

Tireless ocean waves

Dreaming fish that flies

Enter my eyes

Thoughtfully amidst tiny dust lit by sunlight.

 

An afternoon so modest

Soundlessly time sweeps by.

On lighting bolts imagination gaily gallops

Beyond the clouds

Last year’s strawberries

The ones I wanted to greet

Morphing smoke of wormwood

The afternoons that come and go

Afternoons as wide as a river

A tree leaf I am

Falling free

 

 

    一枚落葉覆蓋深秋的夜晚

 

無言地坐在深秋的夜晚

音樂搖漾著恍若隔世的寂寥

有一種惆悵只是一方燈盞

玉一樣溫潤的思念  水墨一樣的鄉愁

 

回望的歲月是一脈漸瘦的水流

我用力阻擋著北風

並在飄散的落葉上寫下懷念的詩句

然後擦亮每一顆音符  輕輕地放在耳邊

 

家鄉  一縷炊煙中嫋嫋的記憶

千回百轉的愁緒忽明忽暗

當午夜的菊花故園一樣開放

她的芬芳  她的美綴滿了酒意

 

也許該把夢放入懷中

讓疲憊的樹林靜靜地睡去

可是誰的歌聲又彌漫而來

溫暖我的寂寞又讓寂寞更深

 

 

    An old autumn night under a fallen leaf

 

Silently sitting in the moment of an autumn night

Music reflects ripples of loneliness from another life

The lamp of desolation illuminates

Reminiscence mellow as jade

Nostalgia captured in ink and wash

 

The reverie of olden days grows thin as I move on

I fend off the northern wind with all my might

Writing verses of fond memories on wandering leaves

I varnish every musical note

And place it carefully by my ear

 

Hometown, an image in the wavering smoke

Glows upon the winding path of my yearning

When chrysanthemum blossoms at midnight

My old home comes alive, intoxicated in her beauty and fragrance

 

Maybe it’s better the dream remains in slumber

And the worn-out wood allowed to rest

But whence comes a song

That warms my loneliness and nourishes it

 

 

    雨水將比我更快地抵達你

 

我扶著五月坐下

坐在日漸荒涼的雨裏

看日光優美地滑向空空的池塘

那些波光粼粼的幸福滿是泥濘

那些金色的魚如今又何在

 

水流淙淙還是響在耳邊

穿越叢林的簫聲緊握著箴言

這時

詩和雨裏的藍色

都落在心上

所有的垂落都在尋找岸

 

秋天

悲歡離合的山崗

涉水才能抵達的記憶

多少落寞的勞動

多少色彩明豔的暗喜

多少納入懷中消瘦的杯盞

我知道

雨水將比我更快地抵達你

 

 

    Faster than I can, the rain shall reach you first

 

Side by side with May

We sit in the rain bringing more desolation

We gaze at the sunlight delicately streaming across the empty pond

The sparkling happiness now looks muddy

And where has the golden fish gone?

 

I hear the gurgling stream, I see the prophecy

Grasped by the xiao flute across the forest

Right now

The blue of the poem, the blue of the rain

Both dripping into my heart

Searching for a bank

 

Autumn

Mountains witness sad departures, happy reunions

Memories one must wade across rivers to reach

So much efforts of loneliness

So many secret happiness of bright colours

Volumes of thinning glasses held close to my heart

I know

Fast than I can, the rain shall reach you first
