Startled
Oh, it's a bird
That has fluttered away from a tree
I wonder
If I've startled it
Or it has startled me
What a bold bird
I've turned back to look at it
But it flies straight away

你家秋叶 我家水
你家的树叶
落在了我家的庭院
我家的水
湿了你家的草坪
站在中界线
还是分不清
哪边是我
哪边是你
如果 你要
我会把落叶
拾起 还给你
你却还不回
我家流到你家的水
Your Leaves and My Water
Your leaves
Have fallen into my yard
My water
Has wetted your lawn
Even standing in between
I still can’t tell
Which side is me
And which side is you
If you want
I can pick up the leaves
And return them to you
But you will not be able to
Return the water to me

春天
不知春天用什么扇子
扇绿了草 扇红了花
不知春天用什么梳子
梳美了花园和街道
只看到
花园里 一朵鲜丽的玫瑰
开在最抢眼的地方
街道上 一辆迎新的彩车
来自鸟儿飞来的方向
哦 春天 如此娇媚
我也想当春天的新娘
Spring
Iwonder what type of fan spring uses
Thathas fanned the grass green and flowers red
Iwonder what type of comb spring uses
Thathas spruced up the gardens and streets
Ionly see
Afresh and bright rose in the garden
Bloomingin the most eye-catching place
Awedding float in the street
Comingfrom where birds come
O,spring, you are so sweet and charming
Iwant to be the bride of spring too

如果我是风
如果我是风
我会向春天飞翔
去吹绿枯草
去吹开花朵
我要在花香中酣睡
如果我是风
我会向大海飞翔
去吹舞浪花
去吹醒朝阳
我要听海水在晨曦中清唱
如果我是风
我会飞呀飞
飞落到他的肩头
如果我是风
我会吹呀吹
把爱吹进他的心房
因为
他是我的春天
他是我的大海
他是我的远方
他是我的理由
让我希望自己
就是风
If I Were Wind
IfI were wind
Iwould fly to spring
Togreen dormant grass
Toopen flowers
So,I could fall asleep in the flower scent
IfI were wind
Iwould fly to the sea
Tosplash the waves
Towake up the morning sun
So,I could hear water sing in the first rays
IfI were wind
Iwould fly and fly
TillI alight on his shoulders
IfI were wind,
Iwould blow and blow,
Toblow my love into his heart
Thisis because
Heis my spring
Mygreat sea
Mydistant future
Myjustification
Towish myself
To be wind
Watchingyour back fade away into the distance
Myheart trembles
HowI wish you would turn around
Andleave me a wisp of tenderness
Butyou are you
Isee you off with tear-swamped eyes
Oh,so cold! Is this
Ascorching summer
Oran ice-cold winter

春宵
性爱
是上帝赐予生命的原动力
一道最美丽的风景
轻柔的风
咆哮的雨
美人鱼在海水中翻尾
终于在月光下熟睡
新的天空
新的鸟鸣
阳光更加明媚
大地上 众花绽放
An Amorous Spring Night
Sexual love
Isa vital force God has gifted us
Andforms the most beautiful scene
Gentlebreeze
Roaringrain
Amermaid flipping the fin in the sea
Finallydeep slumber in the moonlight
Thena new sky
Andnew bird-twittering
Sunlightappears more radiant
Andthe earth is strewn with massive blooms

为何
为何鸟儿在欢叫
我越来越沉默
心里明明有话
却不愿说
为何溪水欢快向前
我却一步步退却
明明想到对岸去
却不敢跨过河
一身的疲倦
把夜的孤独触摸
想装着微笑
却有泪珠滚落
最好的诗
还没有写
缪斯女神
不再光顾我
究竟是哪里
出了差错
激动和喜悦
不再来找我
反复反复问
没有答案的问题
成了最后一首歌
Why
Whydo birds sing
ButI speak less and less
Ido have something to say
Butfeel reluctant to utter it
Whydo rills romp along
ButI keep backing up
Ido want to reach the other bank
Butdare not cross the river
Exhausted
Ifumble through the loneliness of the night
Wantingto force some smiles
Butinstead tears rolling down
Thebest poems
Havehalted
ForMuse goddess
Nolonger visits me
Whereon earth
Isthe mistake
Thrillsand joys
Nolonger adore me
Timeand again, I ask myself
Butthe answerless question
Formsmy last song

大雪
太阳休假
温柔的冬雪
便占领了地球一方
太阳回来
落了一个月的泪
泪
冲刷了街道
浇灌了草坪
洗出了春天的笑容
Heavy Snow
When the sun is on vacation
Soft snow
Will occupy some places on the earth
When the sun is back
Tears rain down for a month
The tears
Have washed the streets
And watered the lawns
And spruced up the earth for the smile of spring

尺寸
在自己的国家
穿大号衣服
到了美国
买中号的衣服
穿了还是大
最后
不情愿地
都换成了小号
原来
小号
才是自己合适的尺寸
Size
In my birth country
I wear large-sized clothes
After I come to America
Even the medium-sized
Seems a bit too loose
So reluctantly
I turn to small size
Which proves
The small size
Is the right size for me

尘埃
地球
是银河系的尘埃
银河系
是宇宙的尘埃
住在尘埃之上
自己又大到哪去
名与利
钱和权
更是尘埃中的尘埃
尘埃
总有落定的时候
Dust
The earth
Is a speck of dust in the galaxy
The galaxy
A speck of dust in the universe
Living on a speck of dust
One can never be big
Fame and fortune
Money and power
Are specks of dust in other specks of dust
A speck of dust
Will eventually settle
