Tasting the sea surf atop the Drum-Beating Rock…

Longing to Wander with the Waves on Gulangyu
Longing to wander with the waves on Gulangyu
Tasting the sea surf atop the Drum-Beating Rock
Embracing the morning sun from the summit of Sunlight Rock
Amid the music and birdsong, beholding
The raiment of dreams, the fragrance of poetry
At last I wander with the waves on Gulangyu
Stepping into time’s old lanes to read the vicissitudes of years
Sorrow drifts away on the tide, hope rolls in with the sea
In this haven of ease, the wanderer pines no more for home
Life is no longer an airtight net
多想在鼓浪屿浪来浪去
多想在鼓浪屿浪来浪去
在鼓浪石上品味 海浪
在日光岩顶拥抱 朝阳
在琴声鸟语中 欣赏
梦的衣裳 诗的芬芳
终于在鼓浪屿 浪来 浪去
踱进历史的深巷读出岁月的沧桑
浪去的是忧伤 浪来的是希望
在休闲的天堂游子不再思念故乡
生活不再是一张密不透风的 网

Cloud and Rosy Hues
Amid the mountains lies a cloud of rosy glow
Like camellias in my dream
When spring’s breath sweeps across
Tender buds sprout from the cloud
Upon the treetop blooms a wildflower
Like radiance deep in your heart
When summer’s soft light brushes by
The wildflower fades quietly
Not only the rosy cloud
Not only the wildflower
A skylark trills aloud
This is its poetic speech
云霞
山中有片云霞
犹如我梦中的茶花
春的气息荡过
云霞长出嫩芽
树尖有朵野花
犹如你心中的光华
夏的柔光拂过
野花悄然落下
不仅仅是云霞
不仅仅是野花
一只云雀在噪鸣
这是它的诗话

The End
The end is an enigma
The idle chaos of the cosmos
Veiling the faint lovers’ silhouette in night
The end is a dream
Desperate bewilderment amid longing
Shaping the emotional aura of the day
The end is a star
Futile remorse amid nuclear fusion
Evaporating the passion of a midnight parting kiss
The end is an enigma
A dream
The end is a star
最后
最后是一个谜
宇宙中无聊的混沌
朦胧了夜晚的爱的偶影
最后是一个梦
渴求中绝望的迷惘
幻化了白天的情的氛围
最后是一颗星
核变中徒劳的悔恨
蒸发了子夜时别吻的激情
最后是一个迷
梦
最后是一颗星
