WEED
- by 兰若

- This is a story,
a lonely story

(1)

Weed is from water.

That day,
The water beads on weed's body
Couldn't be wiped out
Like a little deer,
Stumbled on a summer meadow
On her fine, thin hair
There was the sunshine.

It's me, from the water
I dragged you out
You have no home
Weed, I say,
I'll call you weed,
You drifted in from the water
Bringing a piece of green
The river surface that day
Because of you
Bestrewed all over with reflections

(2)

Weed, I still can't recall
How you could become my bride
How come your hand
From my hand
Could pull out a doorsill
That day's laughter was much unexpected
I was drunk
Only remember your face
Was also that
Red

Weed, I speak in my heart
What I wanna do for you:
Building a big, big house
There's a special season on each wall
When the flowers fall here,
The flowers would blossom there

Weed, you are my lover

(3)

Every day, I start at dawn
Shadow bringing windy dews

Every day, I fish in water
Until the dark night
Embroidering stars all over my clothes

Every day, from sunrise till sunset.

Weed, you stand by the window waiting for me
You shed tears sometimes
Your sighs can be like dust sometimes
Covering my joyous heart

Oh weed, what are you worrying about

(4)

You don't wanna me leave,
Weed,
You speak in my arms
That little woodworker can sing
His singing bothers you
His smile, also like the September sun glare
Makes it hard for you to open your eyes

Weed, you say
Your tears
Running down with my sweat
I see your cheeks
There are red clouds floating
My heart,
Is like the pebbles in the river
Clean, and can hold only one kind of happiness

That day, I can only remember
You didn't wanna me leave

(5)

Weed
Many years later
I still can't imagine that night
Imagine
The looks of the weeds under the moonlight
And the insects' singing in the house

Weed
Many years later
That faraway night
Was still like a fastened door
My hands, were still easily
Scratched

Weed
Many years later
I never understand why
I only know
When you left,
Just like you came
There was no trace.

Weed
Many years later...

Wind blows by,
I look at the river water running incessantly.



草草
--这是一个故事，
孤单的故事。

一

草草是从水里来的。

那天，
草草身上的水珠
怎么也擦不干净
好象一头小鹿，
在夏天的草地上跌倒
细细的汗毛上
有太阳的光辉。

是我，从水里
把你捞起来的
你没有家
草草，我说，
就叫你草草吧
你从水上漂来
带着一片绿色
那天的河面
也因为你
而布满倒影

二

草草，我还是想不起来
你怎么成了我的新娘
你的手，怎么
从我的手里
牵出了一个门槛
那天的笑声很出人意料
我醉了
只记得你的脸
也是那样的
红

草草，我在心里说
我要为你
盖一座大大的房子
每一面墙上都有不同的季节
这里的花落了，
那里的花就会开

草草，你就是我的爱人

三

每天，我从清晨出发
影子带着风中的露水。

每天，我在水中打鱼
直到黑夜
在我的衣服上绣满星星。

每天，从日出到日落。

草草，你站在窗前等我，
有时你会流泪
有时你的叹息也会象灰尘
蒙住我快乐的心

草草啊，你为什么烦恼

四

你不想让我离开，
草草，
你在我的怀里说
那个小木匠会唱歌
他的歌声让你烦恼
他的笑容，也象九月的阳光
刺的你睁不开眼睛

草草，你说
你的泪水
跟着我的汗水一起流
我看见你的脸颊上
有红色的云朵 在飘
我的心
也象河水中的石子
干净的，只能容下一种快乐

那一天，我只记得
你不想让我离开。

五

草草
许多年后
我还是不能想象那个夜晚
想象
月光下野草的样子
和屋子里飘起的虫鸣

草草
许多年后
那个遥远的夜晚
还是象一扇打不开的门
我的手，还是轻易的
被划伤

草草
许多年后
我始终不明白为什么
只是知道
你走的时候，
就象你来
没有一点痕迹。

草草
许多年后…

风吹过，
我看着河水川流不息
