告诉你自己

Tell yourself

当天气转冷，天色灰沉

as it gets cold and gray falls from the air

你必须继续

that you will go on

前行，继续听着

walking, hearing

同样的音调

the same tune no matter where

无论你身在何处 —

you find yourself—

在黑暗的穹顶内

inside the dome of dark

或者是在雪谷中

or under the cracking white

月亮洁白的凝视下

of the moon's gaze in a valley of snow.

今夜，当天气转冷

Tonight as it gets cold

告诉你自己

tell yourself

你所知道的一切

what you know which is nothing

无非只是你继续行走时

but the tune your bones play

骨骼奏响的曲调，而你总算可以

as you keep going. And you will be able

躺在冬日

for once to lie down under the small fire

微弱的星火下。

of winter stars.

但是倘若你不能

And if it happens that you cannot

继续前行或无法转回

go on or turn back

并且你发现自己

and you find yourself

就在你要到达的终点

where you will be at the end,

告诉自己

tell yourself

在穿过你四肢的寒流中

in that final flowing of cold through your limbs

你爱这样的自己。

that you love what you are.
