我曾看见太阳破云而出

I have seen the sun break through

照亮一小块田地，

to illuminate a small field

就一会儿，然后继续赶路

for a while, and gone my way

忘了此事。可那是巨价的

and forgotten it. But that was the

珍珠，是藏有宝贝的

pearl of great price, the one field that had

一块田地 。如今我明白

of the lit bush, to a brightness

它看似短暂，如你易逝的青春，

that seemed as transitory as your youth

却正是等着你的永恒。

once, but is the eternity that awaits you.
