Where can I feel
Life deep in time?
Stepping into a mass of dark clouds,
Flocks of pigeons flying by.

I’d rather wander
Than stand still and look afar.
Behind me are forgotten names,
Ahead are forgotten lands.

In the quiet of the night,
I sit silently in the corner of the world.
The faint silver light and the slight glow of fire,
Find solace in each other’s presence.

深刻的生命，

在哪里可以感受？

走进黑压压一片云，

群鸽呼呼飞过

宁愿流浪，

也不愿驻步远望

背后是遗忘的名字，

前头是遗忘的河山

在悄悄的夜里，

我坐在世界的角落里沉默

渺渺的银光与微微的火光，

惺惺相惜
