一
夏天的飞鸟,飞到我的窗前唱歌,又飞去了。
秋天的黄叶,它们没有什么可唱,只叹息一声,飞落在那里。
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.
二
世界上的一队小小的漂泊者呀,
请留下你们的足印在我的文字里。
O troupe of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words.
三
世界对着它的爱人,把它浩瀚的面具揭下了。
它变小了,小如一首歌,小如一回永恒的接吻。
The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.
It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.
四
是“地”的泪点,使她的微笑保持着青春不谢。
It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.
五
广漠无垠的沙漠热烈地追求着一叶绿草的爱,
但她摇摇头,笑起来,飞了开去。
The mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away.
六
如果错过了太阳时你流了泪,
那么你也要错过群星了。
If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.
七
跳舞着的流水呀,在你途中的泥沙,要求你的歌声,你的流动呢。你肯挟跛足的泥沙而俱下么?
The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness?
八
她的热切的脸,如夜雨似的,搅扰着我的梦魂。
Her wistful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night.
九
有一次,我们梦见大家都是不相识的。
我们醒了,却知道我们原是相亲相爱的。
Once we dreamt that we were strangers.
We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.
